Dream Pills Devlog #4 – Building the City

Date: September 17, 2024

Welcome back to another exciting update on the development of Dream Pills. I’ve been working diligently to introduce new features and improvements that will bring the game closer to the terrifying experience we all want it to be. Here’s a sneak peek at the major changes coming in the next alpha version.

New Wide City Location

One of the most significant additions is a completely new, wide city location, built from the ground up. This expansive area will allow players to explore more environments while being constantly on edge, with the city’s eerie atmosphere enhancing the sense of dread.

Main Menu Redesign & Chapter Selection Tool

The entire main menu has been redesigned to reflect the overall tone and vision of Dream Pills. It will have a much more polished and cohesive look, enhancing the player’s immersion right from the start. Along with this, we’re introducing a new chapter selection tool, allowing you to revisit specific chapters seamlessly, providing more control over your gameplay experience.

Sound System Overhaul

Sound plays a crucial role in any horror game, and we’ve significantly improved the sound system by adding a variety of new sounds. Whether it’s the unsettling whispers in dark corridors or the ambient city noises, the sound design will now offer even more layers of immersion and fear.

Post-Processing Effects

We’ve also added new post-processing effects that will dynamically change depending on the game scene. These visual effects are meant to heighten the tension during key moments and add to the game's eerie, dream-like quality.

Story Progression & Enhanced Interactions

In this update, we’ve deepened the narrative, making sure the story leads you through a more intricate and immersive journey. Alongside this, we’re adding more interactive elements, ensuring the environment reacts to the player in engaging ways, increasing the sense of presence within the world of Dream Pills.

Screamer System Revamp

The screamer system has been reworked from the ground up to be more impactful. Instead of predictable scares, we’ve introduced a more dynamic system that will surprise you when you least expect it, ensuring each encounter delivers the intended shock and fear.

Looking Ahead

With these updates, Dream Pills is shaping up to be a richer, more terrifying experience. As always, your feedback is incredibly valuable, and I encourage you to keep sharing your thoughts as we continue to develop the game. Together, we’re creating something truly unforgettable.

Stay tuned for more updates, and don’t stop dreaming…
