- Slumberer's Universe MacOS version (re)released! - 6 August 2026
Hello!Slumberer's Universe is now available on MacOS 11+, with native Apple Silicon builds!MacOS builds used to exist on the demo version, but were later removed due to the lack of testing support. However, the game has now been tested again on MacOS. Due to Apple's way of handling applications, the game will only be released on Steam, at least for now. Also, the MacOS build has been updated to run natively on Apple Silicon chips (M1 onwards), instead of the older x86 builds.There is no difference compared to the Windows / Linux versions.Thanks once again and if you are on a Mac, then please try Slumberer's Universe out!

- "Death is a Debt" - the next chapter of Slumberer's Universe - 26 July 2024
Chapter 3 and what’s next Another year has passed, another teaser has come Just like last year, here’s a teaser for the next chapter! More to talk It’s been a year of radio silence. The game, however, is far from abandoned. The rest of the chapters are coming up nicely, and the plan for the rest of stuff has pretty much been finalized! Updated stuff! Besides having a new chapter done, there’s been a lot of polishing to other parts during this year! Take a look of some of the updated stuff here: Updated menu: Pixel talking animation: An “Ultimate attack!”: A new dodge mechanic: What’s next The game will feature a total of four chapters plus prologue and a short epilogue. That means there’s only one chapter remaining! However, the game still needs a lot of polishing. Even though the main story might be finished earlier, the game will be released at a later date. The date hasn’t been set i…
- Chapter 2 of Slumberer's Universe is soon done! - 26 July 2023
Hi! It's not even been a year since the Demo release with Prologue and Chapter 1, but it sure feels like a long time. Having the experience from the previous chapters and motivation to try new things, this upcoming chapter is, in my opinion, so far the best one. Without spoiling anything, this chapter will focus more on the main story and drive that forward. The Chapter 1 was a bit 'meh' story-wise, and that will receive a rework along with Prologue! However, that won't come to the demo, except if I decide otherwise in the future. Here's a small teaser: A lot of QoL changes have been made once again along with the new content, mostly to the battle system. These changes won't be ported to the demo due to the radical amount of changes made to the core components. It'd take time to get all these features working on the Demo's branch. Because of that, the demo won't be receiving any major u…
- Slumberer's Universe is now available in Finnish beta! - 17 May 2023
The update 1.5.1 has been released to a public beta branch! Changelog: - Add Finnish translation - Nothing else It is currently on the beta branch only (due to a few grammatical errors and other minor bugs included in it) You can access it by right-clicking Slumberer's Universe Demo in Steam library --> select "properties" --> select "betas" --> select "fi-beta". After that, close the menu and wait for it to update. It will be released outside the beta after I manage to fix every known error.
- Version 1.5 released! New content + QoL changes - 22 April 2023
The UX update 1.5 has been released! Hi! This new update has a lot of improvements to the user experience. A lot of bugs and other clunky stuff has been fixed, and on top of that, many new features have been added! Features: These do not differ much from the initial announcement. 1. New content! Some new content, like the new beginning of the game, has been added! While it doesn't include chapter 2, there are some new secret areas for you to find in this update! 2. 16:9 support This is definitely the biggest change you'll see. I've ported the game from 4:3 to 16:9 to make it better on modern monitors. The game is only going to support 16:9 from now on, due to it being too hard to maintain 4:3 support too. 3. Improved UI The UI is now consistent everywhere. The menus, title screen, battle system, text box and everything has been updated to follow the new UI guidelines! A lot of animation…
- A major demo update coming soon! - 1 April 2023
A lot of new UX improvements coming in the next update! Hi! I'm currently developing a new update featuring a lot of improvements to the user experience. The current version (1.0.1) bugs, inconsistencies and other stuff that make the playing experience much worse. I'll try to fix all of those in the upcoming update. Features: Warning! These are a subject to change. 1. New content! Some new content, like the new beginning of the game, has been added! While it doesn't include chapter 2, there are some new secret areas for you to find in this update! 2. 16:9 support This is definitely the biggest change you'll see. I've ported the game from 4:3 to 16:9 to make it better on modern monitors. The game is only going to support 16:9 from now on. I've asked about this change on Reddit and the majority voted for 16:9. 3. Improved UI The UI is now consistent everywhere. The menus, title screen, ba…

- Slumberer's Universe Demo has been released! - 7 November 2022
The demo of Slumberer's Universe is now released! This is the biggest game project we've worked so far so it's quite a milestone. Now, the demo only has the prologue and the first chapter. Let's discuss about what's next. The future Okay, there's a lot of things to do. Here's a quick summary of what we've planned to do next and what will the full game include: The upcoming full game Starting with the chapter amount, there's no precise information of how many of them will come in the full product. The estimate for those currently are 4 (apart from the prologue and possibly an epilogue). The rest of them will be published within the full release. We're not sure when the full game is coming, but the current estimates are between 2024 and 2025. That, however, is a very rough estimate, and it could come during 2023, but that right now seems very unlikely. The price of the full game will also…
