Little Dragons Café (Summer 2018) - from the creator of Harvest Moon

[Julius]

Publisher Aksys Games has announced a new title from the creator of Harvest Moon, Yasuhiro Wada. The game is called Little Dragons Café.

The story follows a twin brother and sister who run a café. One day, their mother falls into a deep sleep, and the only way to wake her up is to raise a dragon. While managing three other employees, players have to learn to run the business and breed their scaled companion. As the story progresses, players can expand their café by learning new recipes, exploring the terrain for ingredients, growing and catching food, and helping their neighbors.

Akibo Shieh, founder and CEO of Aksys Games and a good friend of Wada's, says the game has been in development for two years, though the two have talked about teaming up for a new title for five years.

Little Dragons Café is slated for a late summer 2018 release on Switch (and PS4).

This game looks and conceptually sounds very whimsical and charming, so I really look forward to learning more about it in the coming months.

"In order to save their mother, two twins must raise a dragon and run their family's cafe"

This sounds like three separate games that got mixed up.

Looks much better than the new Harvest Moon game. But from what I've heard it wasn't that hard to do.

Confirmed for Europe, published by Rising Star Games. Out in the summer.

It reminds me somewhat of Little King’s Story. What do you think, @Fused King ?

Yeah, I can see where you're coming from. A bit of a mix between Little King's Story and Windwaker.

By god I wonder if we could ever see a spiritual successor to Little King's Story. Best game EVA!!!!!

I’d settle for an HD remake for Switch but a full blown sequel (not like that shitty one) would be marvelous (pun intended).
