nDreams is a game developer and production company set up in 2007 by Patrick O'Luanaigh, the former Creative Director of Eidos. nDreams is built on the mantra of “innovation creation” and new technologies and distribution channels such as Home, Android, iPhone and Unity are a huge opportunity to create innovative games. nDreams is also focused on generating and owning original intellectual property, and creating games with rich stories and narrative. Last year, it was named as one of the top ten new studios by Develop magazine. The company is a registered developer with Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo and Apple, and its first major title, Xi, was launched on March 2009 in PlayStation Home. Xi features a dynamic storyline and is packed full of games, puzzles, websites, videos and real world events. It is updated daily and still has a long way to run - to find out more, go into PlayStation Home on a PlayStation 3 console and look for the Xi graffiti tag in Home Square/Central Plaza.
