Dear followers,

sorry for beeing so quite in the last few weeks. It was and still is a very busy time. But nevertheless I am working on Chapter 2 and many improvements to the enemy AI and the UI of the game. And it is Steam Autumn Sale so tell your friends and family to get the game 20% off until Dec. 1st. And if you have not bought it already now is your best chance to do so!

In the next update it will feature many UI improvements to the main menu, and the player UI. New buttons, sliders and other graphics will be added. I hope this will deliver a better experience as well as a more suitable UI for the game.

Regarding the AI I am working to improve the NavMesh pathfinding as well as the behaviour of the enemies. They are sometimes still running around if there is no reachable way to the player itself. So I will prevent them from it. The AI should also be more performant and find the ways better and faster with an overall quality improvement for the pathfinding and interaction with the environment.

So this is a sum up on what I am working at the moment. The next chapter is getting better and better and the release is getting closer and closer. Of course there are still some things to be optimized, improved and added. But slowly everything is coming together.

Best wishes and stay healthy,
Bernhard

Community1 Jul 2022My Games are going to be freeHi everyone, because of some private changes I have to make a pause with solo developing and that's why I am deciding to give my games away for free. So with July 1st, all my games are free on Steam. I am not sure if and how frequently I can still work on Dayscream, but let's see what the future holds. Best wishes, BernhardGame update1 Nov 2021Patch 0.4.1Some minor fixes including a bug which prevents the dogs from chasing the player in the city. Also some stability and performance fixes.In-game event14 Aug 2021Update 0.4.0Dear followers, after some time off work for Dayscream I can finally release the last part of Chapter 2, the city. Explore it and master the button puzzle to get to the final chapter, which will follow later this year. It was hard work to build the city and to make it feel like from a good old psx game. I hope you enjoy the city and I will keep you updated about the final chapter 3. Best wishes…
