I hope you're all well! It’s been raining non-stop here for days. I’m building an ark to survive the flood; I’ve already found two shrews, a few cats and a sparrow. It's not much, but we'll go with what we've got.
Important update:
We’ve completely revamped the tutorial with a new layout, pacing and level art. I think it’ll be much clearer this way. There's a more gradual learning curve, more practical scenarios and usage reminders. Will you / Re: DO?
We’ve also created a new asset to represent the teleportation sigils, which were often difficult to see and therefore easy to miss. They’re now silky monoliths of gold and light. Yes.
I’ve made some adjustments to the level art, collision and textures – nothing major, but we’re making progress. I've moved a few interactions around and added a little something to the Black Temple, which suggests that things are happening there as you progress.
FYI, we’ll be in Lyon this Saturday, 16th, for the Indie Game Expo. If you're in the area, please come along, try out the game, take home a signed tablecloth, chat with us and discover all the other great indie games on show!

We’ll be getting back to work on the major content update next week, for which we'll publish the roadmap and share more news.
We’ve now received 50 reviews, so HYPNOS is officially 'very positive'! A huge thank you to all of you – your support means the world to us.
Take care.
