Somnus still has a long way to go before launch day :)
But we're slowly getting there.

Love the warm tones and friendly vibes. It looks fun!
The fox seems to be a bit troubles though....

Yup played it a couple times. It's pretty good...
Semi-coop is not for everyone though.

Yea, success for a lot of people has to do with money, sadly. For us creatives its often the process, to be able to create. It's just so much fun. I don't want it to end... :)

Need to get more art done for Somnus... so much fun to work on it, but so much still to do. What about you? :)

That sounds nice.
Me working on my game, the art for it. So much fun. Drowning in music, losing touch with reality a bit.

Cold war. You play as the CIA eliminating Russian agents.
We'll see where it goes. Hope the story doesn't stay so one dimensional. Apparently there was quite a bit of critic when the game was released, but i didn't want to spoiler myself too much.

We just started yesterday with Season 0, because it made sense to us for the story. The theme is a little strange though... :)

It might be hard for some, especially if you're a lot on social media. But I really try to ignore the tech as much as i can. I just live, I do my painting, working on my game, enjoy hiking in the snow, feel the cold air on my skin, read good books. Recently finally started reading War and Peace :)

Perfection does not exist, but we strive to get there :)

Nice, I envy you for having a rulebook at this stage. We are currently working on one too, and it feels like designing the whole game all over again :) But its fun.

Looking good from what I can see. And btw. I'm not afraid of long rule books, as long as its well structured, and yours seems to be.

Sorry, I'm currently so busy with projects including Somnus. Don't think it'd be healthy to add another one. But good luck with your project. Is it for We&We?

love the writing

I think I'll wait for what type of new mechanics they are going to add. If they sound cool and interesting, that might get me :)

yea, its weird how they manage to keep us on the hook :)

The Devourer is a creature you can play as, using your own blood for massive attacks and then eating aliens to grow even more powerful.
Beside all the art, we are working on lots of small tweaks and balancing changes.
I really enjoy this long process of working on a project.

Thanks so much for the nice words :)
We're getting very enthusiastic feedback from a lot of playtesters which is very encouraging. We'll see. The game is almost finished, but still lots of art to get done.

Had a lot of fun playing the demo! Really curious to see where you'll take it from here.

Thank you. I look forward to the release too haha :)

Really happy the game appeals to you :)

Tyrannids are awesome. My favourite Warhammer 40k faction! :)

Oh nice, I see you make games too. If you ever need a playtester, let me know :)

27.08.2025 18:34 ๐Ÿ‘ 1 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

No, not yet. Still a while before the game is ready for release. I'm too much of a perfectionist, and have so much fun with the development :)

But if you ever have time and feel like it, there is a digital prototype to playtest. Tabletopia is a free option.
