What If Your Selfie Became a Game? DREAMOSIS Turns You and Anything You Own Into a Collectible World

Published

on

By

DREAMOSIS is a new kind of mobile game where your selfie, everyday objects and real-world places become the building blocks of your own evolving collectible universe.

LONDON, Aug. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Take a selfie. Photograph anything around you. DREAMOSIS turns the combination into something that has never existed before — a unique digital Relic born from you and your world.

London-based Novifolium Ltd has launched DREAMOSIS, a mobile game built around a provocative idea:

What if the main character wasn’t designed by a game studio — because it was you?

Instead of entering somebody else’s predetermined universe, DREAMOSIS asks players to bring their own reality into the game.

Your face. Your possessions. The places you visit.

They become ingredients.

Take a selfie. Pick an object. See what you become.

The core experience starts with something almost everyone already does: taking a selfie.

Players combine a selfie + a photograph of virtually any object + a Dreamdrop discovered within DREAMOSIS.

Then the unexpected happens.

Those ingredients are transformed into a unique digital Relic that becomes part of the player’s collection.

A pair of sunglasses. A coffee cup. A souvenir found halfway around the world. Even something sitting forgotten on your desk.

If you can photograph it, it can become part of your DREAMOSIS world.

Because the ingredients come from the player, two people can play DREAMOSIS and emerge with radically different collections.

Dreamdrops hide parallel versions of the real world

Behind the selfie experience sits another layer: Dreamdrops.

Dreamdrops are collectible discoveries tied to parallel, imagined versions of real locations. Cities become explorable constellations of familiar landmarks, hidden places and unexpected curiosities — each reinterpreted through the DREAMOSIS universe.

A player exploring London, for example, might encounter Dreamdrops connected to places ranging from the British Museum and Highgate Cemetery to Little Venice, Portobello Road and the Barbican Conservatory — alongside more obscure locations waiting to be uncovered.

Some are visible. Others exist only as rumours until discovered.

But finding them is only the beginning.

The Dreamdrop becomes an ingredient. The player provides the selfie and the object. DREAMOSIS turns all three into something personal.

So a discovery associated with a real place can ultimately become a Relic that could belong to only one player.

This isn’t a game world. It’s your world, dreaming.

Traditional games create a universe and ask millions of people to enter it.

DREAMOSIS reverses that relationship.

It takes your face, your objects and echoes of places that actually exist and lets them collide inside a parallel collectible universe.

A journey can leave behind more than photographs.

A random possession can acquire another identity.

And a selfie can become the beginning of something that has never existed before.

The universe has already escaped the screen

DREAMOSIS doesn’t end as an app.

DREAMO — Novifolium’s physical collectible character series — was successfully backed on Kickstarter, demonstrating early interest in bringing the wider universe into physical form.

The relationship works in both directions: DREAMOSIS pulls people, objects and locations into its digital universe, while DREAMO brings characters from that creative world back into physical reality.

Together, the projects point toward a broader ambition:

A world that can move between person, place, screen and shelf.

What if the next entertainment universe is built from its audience?

Generative technology is changing how games, characters and digital worlds can be created.

DREAMOSIS asks a different question:

What happens when the player’s own face, possessions and experiences become the raw material?

Millions of players don’t have to experience exactly the same universe.

They can create millions of different ones.

One selfie. One object. One Dreamdrop. What will you become?

DREAMOSIS — The game doesn’t just give you a world. It dreams yours.

About DREAMOSIS

DREAMOSIS is a mobile interactive entertainment experience developed by Novifolium Ltd. Players combine selfies and photographs of real-world objects with collectible Dreamdrops connected to parallel interpretations of real locations, creating unique digital Relics and personal collections.

About DREAMO

DREAMO is Novifolium’s physical collectible character series. The project was successfully backed through Kickstarter and forms the physical collectible layer of the wider DREAMOSIS universe.

MillworkSuite Launches AI Estimating and Direct-to-CAD Platform That Cuts Drafting Time in Half

Published

on

By

Architectural PDFs become a priced, CAD-ready scope of work in minutes. Free trials and founder consultations at #C1662, Building C, Level 1, IWF Atlanta, August 25–28.

ORLANDO, Fla., Aug. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — MillworkSuite today released its AI estimating and direct-to-drafting platform for millwork and casework manufacturers. The platform reads a set of PDF architectural drawings, returns a priced scope of work, and sends that same scope into HOMAG iX, Microvellum or CabinetVision as cabinet layouts already positioned on the wall. SMI Cabinetry cut its drafting time in half using MillworkSuite. The company will demonstrate the platform at #C1662, Building C, Level 1 at the International Woodworking Fair in Atlanta, August 25–28. Watch an entire drawing set converted to estimates & scope of work in a few minutes; Take a free trial, and book a session with the founder on doubling drafting productivity within two weeks. MillworkSuite product line was developed in collaboration with CLOUDSUFI, their technology partner.

Drafting is the bottleneck
Millwork shops lose jobs to the drafting queue. The demand is there. The queue is weeks deep, and skilled drafters cannot be hired fast enough to shorten it. A shop will estimate ten projects for every one it drafts, and drafting is what decides how much work moves through the building.

The work itself makes it worse. Starting a job in HOMAG iX,  Microvellum or CabinetVision means building the same wall the drafter built last week. Every box gets placed by hand. Every unit takes twenty-odd parameters. After that comes the copying and pasting and nudging until the gaps close, and none of it draws on the judgment a drafter spent years acquiring.

“MillworkSuite started as a drafting tool, not an estimating tool. I have a cabinet shop with a drafting backlog, and no amount of hiring was going to fix it fast enough. The estimating front end exists because you cannot automate a drafting package from drawings no one has scoped yet — but drafting is the bottleneck, and it always was. Getting the grunt work off of a drafter and doubling their productivity is worth more to a millwork shop than anything I could do on the estimating side alone. CLOUDSUFI helped accelerate our vision and launch MillworkSuite today. ” — Rob Hull, Founder, MillworkSuite

What direct-to-drafting changes
MillworkSuite exports an entire elevation in one pass. Every cabinet lands on the wall where the architect drew it. The same scope drives the estimate and the CAD export, so a project gets measured once instead of three times.

Drafters keep the work that needs them: banners, labeling, material breakouts, material lists and custom items. The repetitive build-up is what the platform takes off their desk.

Built only for millwork
Most takeoff tools serve construction broadly. MillworkSuite serves one trade. It covers uppers, bases, countertops, vanities, toe kicks and soffits, and the drafting logic behind them.

Platform capabilities

Drafting export

The whole elevation exports in one pass. Every cabinet sits on the wall as drawn.
Sizes adjusted during estimating carry through to CAD. Units arrive at the confirmed width, height and depth.
A mapping table links detected millwork types to the shop’s own HOMAG iX, Microvellum or CabinetVision product types.
Narrow a base cabinet and the adjacent units shift to close the gap. No manual re-alignment.
Project data is encrypted. MillworkSuite cannot access it.

Estimating
The estimating side feeds the export. On import, the platform renames every sheet and groups it by drawing set. It then scans the set for room names, drawing scales and millwork types, and ties each elevation marker to the sheet it references. Dimensions and areas are computed from page scale and totaled across sheets. The shop sets its own material, labor and overhead rates and applies discounts by line item, by category, or across the board. The priced estimate becomes a submission-ready scope of work, and nothing gets keyed in twice. Revision sets (CCDs, addenda, re-issues) are grouped by sheet number against the originals, so changes surface before drafting starts.

Availability and pricing
MillworkSuite is generally available now. Subscription pricing is tiered by capability.

Takeoff covers estimating and takeoff only, sold exclusively through authorized partners.
Starter and Premium add direct-to-CAD drafting export, sold direct or through the partner channel.
Enterprise configurations are built for shops with high estimating and drafting volume.

Annual pre-payment carries a discount. New customers go through a structured onboarding period: pricing catalog setup, CAD library mapping and team training.

See it live at IWF Atlanta

#C1662, Building C, Level 1, Georgia World Congress Center, August 25–28
Live demonstrations from 8am to 5pm daily
