Among the Sleep News

We're here to bring you the new patch notes and tell you a little bit about the current status here at the studio.

We've finally fixed the demo version of the game for Mac and Linux, which should now be available for download. We are aware that there have been Mac and Linux users reporting issues with playing the game, so any feedback on how the game is running now will be greatly appreciated!

It's been a few weeks since the release of the DLC and we hope you have been enjoying it. We had great fun creating it, and it was very interesting to develop it alongside the feedback of some of our backers.

Since then, we've started working on a brand new project. We're super excited about it, and we're looking forward to sharing it with you some time in the near future!




The current focus on AtS is porting it to the Playstation 4 console. The development is coming along nicely, but it's a bit too early to estimate a release date. There's still some challenges to overcome, as there are completely different requirements for a game to be released on PS4 compared to PC, so it's a lot more complicated than just building it. We hope to have this ready as soon as possible, as we're very excited about seeing our game on a console!

We're also working on implementing and finishing the support for Oculus DK2. As AtS is on the wave of the first games that is being developed to support the new VR technology, we're bumping into problems that takes a bit longer to solve as there's not many resources of information to look up about it yet. We're loving what we're seeing so far, AtS in VR is an amazingly immersive experience. So hold on to your VR headsets a little longer!

Optimization is a big one we're currently working on, which has a direct connection with both the PS4 and DK2.

We've been working on this extra little bit of the game along with our Kickstarter backers since release this summer. The free DLC contains a whole new chapter, which is meant to be played after the main game is completed (as it expands a bit on the main story). We've conveniently named it "Prologue", so for those of you who've finished the game and long for more: enjoy!

It should update to your copy of the game automatically, and can be accessed from the chapter selection screen in the main menu.
For the Linux people we have to apology since we met a breaking bug which we're sorting out. We should have that sorted and up by Friday.

On the horizon
We're continuing to develop the PS4-version, and adding support for new features (such as the Oculus DK2-support). We’ll also continue optimizing the game in general (like the IPD/FOV-issues on Oculus DK1 sets) and fixing all the bugs we find. Please keep sending us bug reports, as they help us track them down easier.

Since release this summer, we’ve amongst other things been working on the Free DLC, that was one of our stretch goals. It is very close to finish, and will be released next week, on wednesday 5th of November! Please enjoy the teaser added to the Among the Sleep store page, or on youtube following the below url!

Teaser

Thank you so much for all the backers who chose to participate in shaping it. We hope it will add much of what you wanted to explore more on from the main game, and we’ve had a blast developing it with you! For those of you who have yet to play the main game, we recommend finishing that first, as the DLC expands a bit on the main story.
