Q&A December 2020
Good evening players! Martin here,
Wanted to start off this post by saying thanks to everyone who were incredibly supportive in the previous Steam post. It’s pretty heartwarming to have such cool fans. You’re all amazing
Before we finally let go of this horrific year, we wanted to do one last Q&A. So, without further ado, let’s end 2020 on a high note and dive into your questions!
Are there any secrets in any of the nights?
Yes, there are quite a few. Some are more straightforward, and some are more well hidden and a bit more meta. Of course, when night 4 comes out, there will be even more. On night 4, you’ll get to discover one of the biggest secrets of the Pinetree island and unravel the mystery surrounding it. It’s gonna be great and our team can’t wait for you all to experience it for the first time!
Are you guys planning on having multiple endings?
We see the appeal of multiple endings, but when it comes to our game, it’s not a concept that works with our game. We want to tell a story that fits in our game’s overall canon. Having multiple endings, kinda makes it difficult to do something beyond the current game...
You have some interesting videos posted on the AmberDrop youtube channel, (i.e This is Revivel). Anything hidden in them? OFFICIAL STATEMENT: The Revivel company is aware of the tempered advertisement material. The reason why these videos have been distorted/tampered with is yet unknown. Revivel will do everything necessary to stop the spread of these videos as they are damaging to the company’s reputation and PR.
Will you upload more trailers, or will it come the night 4 first?
I think we could do one more short trailer for the launch of night 4. That would be pretty cool, right?
Have you guys thought about making Try to Fall Asleep a VR game also?
Yes. It has been one of the most asked questions and we know it’s something that people would really like to see. However, we don’t want to make just a straightup VR port of the game. There are reasons why VR is so appealing. It’s not just because of the visuals, but it also has to do with game mechanics that are specific and exclusive to VR. I think we would end up with a lot better VR experience if we made it from ground up to be meant for VR. Although we’re thinking about it, please don’t mistake this as a conformation for anything. If we’ll ever decide to do something in VR we’ll let you know, but our main focus is currently on the main game.
Will there be more game modes like "easy, medium, hard" and maybe an endless night where you see how long you can last for the part where you try to sleep?
A custom night is something that we’re definitely interested in. As to when we should add it, we’re not sure yet… We’d like to add it when the game transitions into a full release (1.0), so we can include all the customization options from all 6 nights. But, we’ll need to see what the development of night 5 & 6 will be like. Might be more realistic for us if we were to add the custom night with a 1.1 update after the full release.
And that’s the end of the Q&A!
Although we weren’t able to hit some of our goals, we’re heading into the new year with great ambitions and excitement as the next big update gets more and more closer to being ready.
Our AmberDrop team wishes you a much better and happier new year than 2020 ever was.
Stay safe and goodnight!
Martin
