Hello players!
Thank you for playing INSOMNIA!
I received many feedback and I decided to fix the problems that people hated the most.

-Prologue changes: I changed the notes making them shorter, converted one of the notes into thought and got rid of that font that you hated forever! (After all, no one wants to stay reading while playing a demo isn't it?)

-Also, we increased the Music Box spawn timer in Hour 2! Now the doll will be less oppressive and the music box won't trigger together with the basement blackout!

Thanks for your cooperation and keep sending feedback! They are crucial for the development and success of INSOMNIA!

Thank you!

It's been more than I wanted since the last update.
Once again, nothing flashy in this one, but I managed to clean up many issues that were introduced in previous updates.
Now the game should hopefully run (more) bug free.

Unless some very bad bug pops out, I'll focus on new content this week!

Early Access for Wayfinder begins on August 15, and we want to ensure that you are as prepared as you can be to choose your path and stand up to the Gloom.

In order to join in on the action-packed adventures, you will need to purchase a Founder’s Pack! While you can’t pre-purchase a pack just yet, they will be available on Steam on August 15 at 12 p.m. CT,

Be sure to check out what the different tiers – Base, Initiate, Awakened and Exalted – have to offer here.

Early Access is just the start of our adventure. With Early Access, we are expanding the Wayfinder community to start building the game alongside us. Our Founder’s program isn’t just about backing the team; it’s a way to celebrate and reward those players involved with the early development of Wayfinder. Most importantly, we’ll continue learning about what you want to see implemented and improved.


Each Founder’s Pack grants you varying levels of access to the Founder’s Season 1 and 2 Reward Towers. Rewards include crafting components needed for new Wayfinders and their unique style set, color dyes, emotes, weapon skins, trinkets, sprays, charms, housing decorations, pets and more! Best of all, your Reward Tower will never expire! Play at your own pace, and return to previous Seasons in the future.



Early Access will feature our first iteration of Player Housing! Wayfinders will be able to make a cozy, customizable apartment with a variety of decorations! Liven up your space and place special items such as Trophies and Artifacts to buff your adventures outside your home.



You’ll be able to play anywhere you want and with all your friends across both PlayStation and PC during Early Access! On top of that, progression in Early Access will be saved on your account and carried over when the game fully releases!

We are thrilled to share that Wayfinder is reaching a wide range of players globally by supporting a variety of languages through text and audio! Currently in Early Access, Wayfinder will support English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Polish, Traditional Chinese, Korean, Turkish, Brazilian Portuguese and Japanese.

As with any Early Access game, you may experience some minor bugs and limitations as you explore Evenor. Be sure to join the Official Wayfinder Discord to stay up to date and connect with our supportive community. We will also have a Feature Upvote site available on August 15 where you’re encouraged to submit feedback and report bugs. The site will be open for submissions once Early Access begins.

It has been a while since the last update, and many people might be wondering about the development status of the next one. As always, the most up-to-date news and updates are regularly posted on the Sailwind Discord server. For those who missed the recent posts there, here is a quick summary along with preview screenshots.


The next patch will be a big one, featuring a new archipelago with several islands. This will not be an entirely new region - think of it more like an expansion of the current Emerald Archipelago.


The new islands will feature some new unique architecture, as well as new trade goods, other items, and custom sails.





Some new weather effects are also planned.




The update is expected to be ready sometime around September/October 2023.

Before the full update is released, there are plans for an open beta test for the upcoming patch. The new islands will not be available yet, but the beta will feature several improvements mostly related to weather and boat physics (including manually adjustable mooring ropes - no more infinite springs!). Player feedback will be very welcome and useful to get the fine tuning of the new changes just right. More details about the beta will be coming soon!

Our deadline for Cryptic Journal submissions is almost here! Voyager backers and higher: if you haven’t yet, make sure you’ve sent your image to SkymillCrypticJournal@gmail.com by Tuesday, August 15. You can check the full list of details and requirements here. We can’t wait to add everyone’s work to the game!

• We’re down to making the final models for the set pieces in the town we’ve been working on. Here are some work in progress shots of the wall that will go around the town:

• Both combat and standard animations for North_Star are currently in the works. We’ve also been making a lot of improvements to combat, particularly melee-focused Kinfolk.
  
  
  • We’ve improved the feature that allows abilities to optionally override the rotation of the user. For example, dash attacks use this to rotate the user in the direction of the dash.
    
    
  • We added an optional override for ability damage so that combo abilities can deal different amounts of damage per hit.
    
    
  • We’ve improved the damage validation for abilities to optionally allow for multiple damage ticks on the same enemy. Additionally, we improved how NPCs fire multi-charge abilities.
  
  
• We’re continuing to model new hairstyles and outfits for human NPCs, including an update for a familiar clothing item! Human NPCs also have some new updates for their implementation as summoners:
  
  
  • We’ve added new options to NPC spawners that allow for spawning only when specific missions are active. We’re now able to use these spawners with Summoner NPCs as well as regular Kinfolk NPCs.
    
    
  • Summoners are able to use post-battle behaviors like we mentioned previously in regards to Kinfolk. They can run away, blackout, or start conversations upon being defeated.
    
    
  • We’ve created some new summoner NPCs with combat AI. These are being added to the overworld as new encounters.
  
  
• We have new concept art for multiple unique buildings, including the warehouse we shared earlier this week. All of these concepts are for the new town we’ve been building out.
  
  
  
• For our current round of cinematic animations, we’re getting down to the finer details like specific facial expressions for many of the shots. Some of these scenes have been implemented with their dialogue in the project, though they’re still works in progress. Even so, many of them are already very impactful!
  
  
  
• The almost-finished town we’ve been working on has a lot of new details! These include improved sculpting, improved lawn grass, fenced gardens, and more NPCs. We’re currently starting to work on giving these characters their own AI and schedules.
  
  
  
• We’ve continued to improve the logic and dialogue for the missions at the beginning of the game. While they’ve been in a functional state for a while now, we’ve been iterating on the dialogue and building out the logic to account for more contingencies in gameplay. (For example, how does the conversation change if you lose the fight instead of winning?)
  
  
  
• The townsfolk in the first town have been given new dialogue that’s specific to the beginning of the game. We also have new functionality in xNode that allows us to direct NPCs to look a certain direction while speaking.
  
  
  
• We’ve spruced up our Restless Fog VFX to make it stand out more from how you might expect typical fog to look. We also continued to create tons of new ability VFX and SFX!
  
  
  
• As we get further into the polishing phase for our internal milestone, the dev team is focusing more and more on bug fixes, hence the somewhat lighter newsletter. We look forward to coming back with more exciting updates soon!

Thanks for checking in! We’ll see you for our next newsletter on August 25.
