Six days have gone by since our short horror game "The Creature In My Dreams" made its debut, and all we can say it was an immense success!
As we continue to receive so many encouraging remarks and an impressive show of support from you all, none of this would have been possible without YOU! So we would like to share some game statistics which reflect not just numbers for us but your valuable contributions too!
As of the date of writing this article, our game had nearly reached 8000 PLAYS worldwide within just 6 DAYS! 77% still come directly through playing on browser, plus now being featured in almost 250 of YOUR game collections!
YouTube is home to hundreds of gameplay videos and streams showcasing our short but terrifying horror experience, which are being enjoyed by players around the globe! We cannot express enough our thanks for each and every one of you...
As many of you likely already realize, we do not consider ourselves full time indie game developers; what we do here is something we enjoy doing in our free time as hobby. Crafting The Creature In My Dreams took approximately seven days from its inception.
After publishing our game, we spent another 7 days listening and engaging in conversations in the comments of its page - it was truly enjoyable!
Now that we can see that our project has received overwhelming interest and support, we will certainly keep in mind your feedback when planning any upcoming projects - there will likely be plenty!
We tend to surprise everyone by releasing games out-of-nowhere, without much prior warning or devlog updates; after they're published we post all necessary infos or devlogs about their development and creation.
Events depicted in our game occurred long before I became a game developer or had any plans of producing one about this material.
Dream # 1 was my introduction to this creature; when I was still young enough for bedtime aid by leaving the hallway light lit so as to aid sleep more easily.
One night while sleeping soundly I saw what seemed to me to be an unseen presence floating past my door like some kind of floating balloon with no visible body attached - something not unlike what would occur if real houses looked similar in game! Moreover, its layout almost parallels that of real houses!
Why I got up is unclear; as soon as I entered the living room I noticed my long shadow reflecting in it before seeing flashing lights that represented TV screens within the game.
The next parts of my game consist of elements taken from previous dreams about this creature that have occurred since. While many years had passed since my initial dream about her, this creature would come into my dreams from time to time and remind me why we cannot let go.
Sometimes years would pass before I saw another animal; other times it happened two nights in a row!
Dreams in which I see something scary near or within sight always consisting of one creature constantly watching from far off, whether in woods, rooftops, or my home; making its terrifying presence felt. "
