Future expansions using the same engine as The Dream are being planned.
Content Funding
The main problem with 3D games is content - models, textures, sound effects, music, etc.
Tom has invested into a 3D engine (Unity 3D), a texture generator that solves most texture problems (Filter Forge) as well as bought models and audio content. Donations to BattleMaster have allowed this to happen, as costs are considerable.
Fans of The Dream on IRC came up with the idea of "fund drives". What that means is when Tom is working on a project that requires additional content, he will post here what content he needs (more or less specifically, depending on whether it's to be a surprise or not) and what the cost are. You can then mark your donation to BattleMaster as intended for expansion content, and all of those donations will be summed up and the content bought when enough donations are there. You will, of course, also receive the usual goodies for your donation.

Content Wanted
Here's some stuff that I have my eyes on. I've not yet decided, but these might be useful:
affordable
- Knight (30 €) - possible knight character, at least I've not yet found a better one, most of the others are too much fantasy.
expensive
- Thief Character ($119 = ca. 92 €) - as the in-game representation of an adventurer, definitely better suited than a knight.
- Gargoyle ($149 = ca. 115 €) - what a fantastic boss monster.
Sneak Peek
Here's an early preview of an upcoming project, still very early in development:
