INSOMNIA: a horror game (devlog)

INSOMNIA is a horror game that features elements such as sleeping, monsters, etc.

Currently, I have finished the sleeping system, room layout, and the 1st enemy, Ransomware.

I am currently testing and troubleshooting the current code, and once that's done, I'll focus on the 2nd enemy, Grabber.

Good news, everybody! The game is finished, but keep an eye out for updates, and who knows, I might add something huge…

The game is in an early state so watch out for bugs.

INSOMNIA: a horror game (devlog)

Work on Night 2 has begun! Night 2 is now past the concept stage and is now in development, with two new mechanics having been done, which is the oxygen mechanic and the “holding your breath” mechanic. Oh, I almost forgot about our Night 2 enemy roster!

Night 2 enemy roster:
-Flowerface
-Creeper

I'll soon publish a test game that features all the new mechanics that are to appear in Night 2, so keep an eye out for that.

Oh, and also, for those wondering why the link original version of INSOMNIA is replaced by the link to the Lite version… that's because I wanted to draw a little bit of suspense for the Night 2 update. (and to also draw attention towards the lite version)

Once Night 2 is done, I'll immediately update and share the original version.

Work on Night 2 has stalled a bit due to me being slightly burnt-out, but that's okay since it will resume soon enough.

For anyone that's reading this, I'm looking for someone that is skilled in digital art/drawing, mainly to improve certain sprites (they look quite mediocre in my opinion). If you're willing to volunteer, contact me immediately!

Once Night 2 is done, I'll work on Night 3, yes, Night 3. The game is planned to have 3 nights, with Night 3 being, of course, the final night.

Night 3 is still in concept, although I'm currently planning it to only have shadow-like monsters. (thanks to SrihariXD for the shadow models!)


Maybe I'll do a INSOMNIA spinoff or even a sequel, if the first game gets good traction of course. (good traction as in more than 10 views lol)

I've updated jumpscare test to feature a new element, Flowerface's jumpscare!

Flowerface is meant to be a mix of the Demogorgon from Stranger Things, the Figure from DOORS, and Flowerman Bracken from Lethal Company, and given a somewhat floral vibe (although it ended up looking like dead leaves lol, which i like!).

INSOMNIA: a horror game (devlog)

One thing I regret about INSOMNIA is that I didn't finish it and release it on October. The game actually began in around September (if im not mistaken), but I procrastinated alot and school stuff so I temporarily abandoned it. Then, 3 months later, I returned to the project and decided to finish it.

Had I not procrastinated alot, I could've probably put out a demo in October.
(the reason i regretted it because, truthfully, october is the best time to release a spooky game like INSOMNIA)

Forgot to mention, SrihariXD and I made some little test games featuring possible future enemies such as the Lurker, Hex, etc.

Are they going to appear in future nights? As of writing this, I don't know. (i'll have to discuss this with SrihariXD)

(please note that these are test games so they're going to be kind of bare-bones and maybe a bit buggy)

I've decided to replace Creeper with a new side-enemy for Night 2, that being… Biomass!

The reason for this is that each night has it's own theme of sorts, with Night 1 being contemporary horror (computers and scary looking people) and Night 2 being about deadly organic mass (overgrown deadly biomass and the creatures that are made because of it). Night 3's theme is supposed to be about shadows, which is where Hex and Creeper will appear.

I've updated the night 2 stuff test game to feature Biomass, although it's SFX is still not final.
