• Steam Cloud and Juicy Animations - 17 September 2026

  Head In The CloudsThe game now supports Steam Cloud! Due to some decisions I made about 3 years ago, this was not as straightforward as I would have hoped but I got there.Juicy AnimationsCheck out these improvements!Notice how the dice now arc into play when the roll button is pressed, as if thrown haphazardlyThey also bounce a few times before settlingThey squish and squash as they moveThey subtly move around in the center of the screen as if waiting for the full battle sequence to finished before being pulled off screenThe screen shake has been improved and now scales based on impactThe damage numbers can now stack up and also scale their size and change color based on impactThere are several other smaller things you may notice too if you've played the game a lotFull notes below!0.9.4 (9-17-26)- Steam Cloud saves: your progress follows you to any computer where you play through Steam.…

• Playtesters keep finding ways to break the game... - 15 September 2026

  PlaytestersI don't think it's possible to make a game like Slumber Realm without the support of playtesters.Every week in the Discord server, playertesters post ridiculous things that I didn't think were possible.Like doing 33,554,433 damage in a single hit. How is that possible when her only damage card did 2 damage?They keep me on my toes and I love them for it.0.9.2 (9-14-26)- Sk8er Ability, Ollie: Yellow and Pink costs increased from 2 each to 3 each.- Sk8er Ability, Send It: Blue cost increased from 2 to 3.- Sk8er Card, Board: Trick granted to the next Active Card reduced from 2 to 1.- Sk8er Card, Bootleg Tape: trigger range reduced from 2-5 to 3-5, and Trick granted to the next Card reduced from 3 to 2.- Sk8er Card, Curb Wax: Cards receiving 1 Trick reduced from the next 3 Cards to the next 2 Cards.- Sk8er Card, Grip Tape: Trick granted to the next Card reduced from 5 to 3.- Sk8er…

• Achievements, Sk8er Balancing, and a secret... - 10 September 2026

  AchievementsAchievements are super fun when implemented well. They should do a variety of things. They should help the player learn the game initially, they should guide the player to trying a variety of content, and they should introduce interesting challenges. It was my goal in designing the achievements for Slumber Realm to do all of the above. Here are a few that I really like, either for mechanical reasons or thematic ones. Almost all the achievements are a reference to something from the 90s! If you happen to be a 90s IP holder, please don't sue me.Note; All art is placeholder! We are working on hand drawn illustrations now but they take time to produce.31 more to achieve in the full game!0.9.1 (9-9-26)- Added a new secret Card. Explore the Slumber Realm to find it!- Added 35 Steam Achievements. Their artwork is placeholder for now.- Added 3 Steam Stats to track progress toward se…

• Slumber Realm releases Nov 4th! - 28 July 2026

  Slumber Realm releases on November 4th, 2026!I started this project 4 years ago right before the birth of my son. It turns out that it takes the same amount of time to create a video game as it does a 4 year old child.My feelings about making this release date announcement includeJoyFearAnxietyWhich also happen to be the 3 emotions most people report experiencing in their dreams! I'm a mono-anxiety dreamer myself. Every dream is about packing bags and being late for an important international flight.Anyway! November 4th is the release date. I felt this was the perfect date because no other video game is releasing in the month of November. It is WIDE OPEN!Also, join the Playtest! It goes LIVE today and runs for 2 weeks. Get in while the getting is good (exactly 2 weeks).BONUS: Here is a behind the scenes video on HOW the release date was chosen (it was dice, everything is dice in my life)

• Watch: The Story Behind Slumber Realm’s 90s Dreamworld - 7 July 2026

  Watch the new Slumber Realm interview I was recently interviewed by Wild Cockatiel Games for Building a 90s Dreamworld: The Story Behind Slumber Realm. We talked about the long road to Slumber Realm, what it’s like making games for 20 years, and how the game’s 90s dreamworld, strange childhood fears, and dice-driven combat all came together. In the interview, we dig into:Why Slumber Realm is built around a single die roll triggering your whole buildHow childhood fears, suburbia, and 90s nostalgia shaped the worldWhat I learned from working on games like Monster Train, Inkbound, and Natural Selection 2The challenge of building an indie game part time while balancing life, work, and familyThanks to Wild Cockatiel Games for having me on. If you enjoy hearing how Slumber Realm is being made, give the interview a watch, and please wishlist the game or try the demo here on Steam.

• Play the full game early! - 2 June 2026

  All the best games have one thing in common: They received a ton of feedback from players before release.Over time, I've had plenty of people play the game live with me on a Discord call and give feedback. But what the game needs now is people to go deep. I need to know what is OP, what is too weak, and what just doesn't feel right.If you are the type of person to play a roguelike for hours and have strong opinions on things like balance or enemy design, please sign up today, right on the Steam page for Slumber Realm!The playtest will go live later this month!

• Wild West Demo Update - 4 May 2026

  Howdy, the Slumber Realm demo has received another big update!I'd like to introduce you to the Brain Sheriff.Ok, I'll admit this may seem totally random but there is a method to the madness. You see, your brain is what helps you regulate your emotions. The resources in Slumber Realm are emotions. And this Brain Sheriff helps you regulate your emotions by offering a trade of emotions. So, it all SORT OF makes sense! Also, Slumber Realm takes place in a dream world so it doesn't need to make sense.Here is a full change log:0.7.1 (4-30-26)Dart now deals 1 damage each time it is usedFixed Extension Cord incorrectly showing a Missed notification when Follow Up was not missed0.7.0 (4-29-26)Added the Sheriff, a cowboy who is also a brain who helps you regulate your emotionsAdded new Mushgroom dialogueAdjusted the first Training Run draft to offer Training Shield or Training HammerSmoothed reso…

• The Escapist Names Slumber Realm One to Watch in 2026 - 28 December 2025

  Hey everyone 👋 We wanted to share a small but very exciting piece of news: Slumber Realm was featured in an article by The Escapist as one of the dice games to watch in 2026. Honestly, seeing Slumber Realm listed alongside so many clever, creative dice games still feels a little surreal. This project started as a cozy, slightly weird idea about dice, dreams, and late-90s vibes, and somehow it is now showing up in places we used to read for fun.Most importantly, this would not be happening without you:everyone who has wishlistedeveryone who has played the demoeveryone who has given feedback, bug reports, or encouragement Your support genuinely shapes the game. We are still a small, scrappy team, still iterating, still figuring things out. Moments like this help keep the lights on and the motivation high.If you would like to check out the article, we have linked it below.And if Slumber R…

• Feed Your SlumberGotchi! - 1 December 2025

  Slumber Realm is full of little surprises.For example, you enter a battle like you have a few dozen times already. You are fighting the lunch lady or a deranged werewolf P.E. coach. But before you face your nightmare, a long forgotten friend drops down onto the screen.You are confused at first but then you remember. It's the virtual pet you lost somewhere in 8th grade.It tells you that it's very hungry. It last ate in 1996. It notices you have a snack and asks if you'd be willing to give it up.Should you do it? That snack would be very helpful during the upcoming fight against your P.E. coach. But the pet did say it would give you something worthwhile in exchange...I won't ruin the surprise here by telling you what you get.

• Slumber Realm Demo coming Oct 21st! - 14 October 2025

  I've been dreaming about this moment for years. The Slumber Realm Demo is going live on Oct 21st!I'm worried I may have included TOO much game in the demo but it was hard not to. Due to how roguelikes work, the demo can easily be played for many hours. And there is still so much more stuff I'm holding back for the full game!Wishlist now to be notified when the demo and full game are available.

• Announcing Slumber Realm! - 7 August 2025

  Slumber Realm has officially been announced! I've been working on the game for 3 years as a nights and weekends passion project (it was technically early mornings and weekends but you get the point).The game features some of my favorite mechanics:Drafting - In the spirit of deckbuilders, there is a draft at the core of the game. All my design decisions were focused on making this draft as compelling as possibleDice - I love RNG! Of course, RNG is all about balance. Too much and the game is totally random. Too little and you aren't surprised. I'm always striving to give the player the tools they need to control the chaos. But also, I don't fudge the dice in Slumber Realm.Engine Building - The above mechanics come together when you craft the perfect engine of destruction. There are plenty of ways to go "above the curve" when making a build and find the perfect synergy between items in the…
