We are Something Nerdy Studios LLC — a video game development company focusing on retro games. Our first project, Former Dawn, is a Science Fiction Action RPG targeting the NES and PC.
Chronicles of Astraea: Former Dawn is, in a nutshell, a story of discovery, resistance to evil, and exploration of the human condition. The world is rich, the plot complex, and the characters dynamic and multi-dimensional.
We wanted to tell this story, but tell it in a unique yet classical style. In other words, we wanted to make it a retro game with a huge amount of rich content, yet run on authentic 1980s hardware: the Nintendo Entertainment System.
Former Dawn is on track to be the most advanced 8-bit game ever created, and this is the place to secure your copy.
After a failed terraforming mission on an exoplanet light years from Earth, humanity dies out but leaves behind a child species(called the “Formers”) that forgets its own origin. You play a common hunter who rediscovers the truth and struggles against the faceless Organization which will stop at nothing to defeat you. Along the way, you recruit a motley crew of brave Formers who are willing to risk everything for Justice.
