Plenty of new additions have made their way into SOMNI in this newest update!
- New Cryptid Nickel Smart - The Killer Clown its special ability is "Mimic" where it will laugh maniacally and clone itself. The clone is not able to kill the player, however if it does reach the player that player will be enveloped in a cloud of pink mist. If the Clown kills a player, it will place a balloon on a remaining player that is still alive. This balloon will eventually POP, calling the Clown to your location if its close enough to hear the POP!
- The new Cryptid map is the "Circus."
- The motion scanner is now confusion proof! It no longer shows players as dots, it will either show "No Motion" or it will show a Red Dot which is the ghost. Many were confused when they seen the white dots and thought that it was motion. This seems to be the best way to avoid any confusion/false alarms. The motion scanner still only updates when you refresh the screen!
- A new Ghost-O-Matic model which allows for more buttons and a LCD screen instead of light up Ghost Names.
- New Evidence: Doppelgangers - Doppelgangers look like you but aren't you, they will even act like you. If you get close enough to them they will reveal themselves and chase to kill you. The only way to dispatch them permanently is by using the pistol which is the new equipment in Ghost Maps. Crosses and Holy spray bottles will still make it go away temporarily but be careful for when it returns. Save your ammo for when you really need it for this evidence type.
- New Evidence: Shadow People - Shadow People are a non hostile creatures that roam the environment. They are only able to be seen using a flashlight so it is important to carry one at all times!
- New Ghost: The Wisp
- New Ghost: The Maniac
- "F" Now turns the flashlight on or off in desktop mode - this is rebindable in the UI and works even if the flashlight is not held at that moment
- "Q" Is now the new button to throw your current item - this of course is still rebindable
- We cut out "Drop Item" as an input to have less buttons on both keyboard and or gamepad
- We reworked the controls on Gamepad Completely - a schematic for the new controls is coming shortly
- The UI has been completely redone! everything is now done on your personal menu. Perks, Options, Controls, ETC.
- New Information Section in the UI that explains everything a person would need to play the game!
- "TAB" is now useable if you do not wish to use the mouse scroll wheel to change your item quickly. It only works in one direction as of right now. This button is rebindable in the personal menu.
- General Balancing of Cryptids and Ethereals
- Perks have now been increased to their price that they will be when the full release happens
- Posters have been removed from the safe room in all maps. Only essential posters such as how to read the ritual symbols remain.
- Darkened the Burning House Map and slightly reduced the intensity of the flames to make some evidence easier to see.
- Cryptid Types section added to the personal menu in the information section that shows what their abilities are to reference if you forget.
- Rebalanced Ghost Evidence with the addition of the new ghosts and the new evidence.
- Ethereal Entities will now require more evidence to find out what kind it is!
We are also finishing the setup to have SOMNI translated into other languages! We are always searching for more ways to avoid any confusion while playing our game and we are excided about the opportunity that this will bring to many new and current players!
As always we thank all of you for continuing to support us on this journey and we cant wait to show you all of the exciting things we are working on for the future!
