‘‘We oriented ourselves with the animated series,’’ he says. Whether through his character replicas or recreations of classic locations, Gluth’s goal is to create as authentic an Avatar experience as possible. Mirroring the show’s reference to seasons as “Books,” Gluth plans to release three Books as part of the Aang Project. Momo, Aang’s furry companion, will also be a playable character in mini-games and parts of the campaign. A classic third-person action game, players will control Avatar Aang throughout the main story. Basically, I thought of Avatar and how there hadn’t been a good game recently, so I started on creating one of my own.’’įrom Aang’s early escapades at the Southern Water Tribe to his dramatic confrontation with Fire Lord Ozai, the Aang Project will religiously follow the plot of all three seasons. When Dreams dropped, I hadn’t a clue what to do.
I rewatched it when it was released on Netflix. I never thought it would get that much attention,’’ he says. ‘‘It’s been pretty incredible and overwhelming. An Avatar fan himself, Gluth is nevertheless surprised by the response to his ambitious endeavor. In the past year, a pre-alpha version of the game has been played around 120,000 times in Dreams. Currently, he has around 210,000 subscribers on the platform and a montage of his early work on the project has over three million views.

Originally working with the game’s beta version, Gluth has recreated the story, characters and world of Avatar using all the tools of the final Dreams release. It remains one of the most popular animated shows of all time and a live-action adaptation is coming to Netflix next year. The original anime-inspired series follows Aang, the titular Avatar, who must master the bending of all four elements to defeat the evil Fire Nation. Since May 2019, Gluth has been developing a video game adaptation of Avatar: The Last Airbender in Dreams, called the Aang Project.
Elca Gaming, aka Colin Gluth, is one such creator. Creators find inspiration from various outlets, including other games, films and television shows with some borrowing more liberally than others. “Dream Surfing” allows said games to be played by other “dreamers” online. The system’s “Dream Shaping” mode allows players to build fully-realized games, incorporating the same mechanics, assets and designs that can be found in any mainstream release. Media Molecule’s game creation system for PlayStation has captured the imaginations of the next generation of designers, programmers and artists. Thanks to Dreams, wannabe video game developers are wannabes no more.
