Act 3, Reimagined The entire level has received a facelift. The original was pretty rushed and unfinished for the game's initial release. In terms of content it was pretty solid, but on the art side I felt it wasn’t up to the quality of the rest of the game. Over the last couple weeks I've been going in and redesigning the whole thing from a visual standpoint. Improved lighting, improved sprites, and more. Keep in mind that everything you see here is work in progress. Everything is subject to change. Let us know what yo |
| Devlog #2: Bringing Some Balance | 2024-10-31 | 🎃 Happy Halloween, horror fans!🎃 This new devlog is certainly a treat. Take a look at upcoming improvements to Souls, game balance, and UI coming to Noxia Somnia: Ultimate Edition in January 2025. General Updates to Souls A number of improvements and tweaks to souls are coming in Ultimate Edition: The Soul of Recovery is 100% automated! No more need to re-equip a healing item into your quickslot every time you want to use it. This Soul will now activate the strongest healing item available in your inventory on a lethal blow. You’ll also get about 5 seconds of invincibility after the healing as a buffer against extra-heavy hits. https://i.im |

| Noxia Somnia v.1.0.1 | 2024-02-06 | We've got a new update releasing today for Noxia Somnia! This update should address most of the bugs and other issues found in the 1.0 release. 🐛 Major Resolved Bugs The "Time Is Key" puzzle in Act 1 has been improved. The clocks in the hall now emit a more obvious glow, and the third clock is now loaded properly in the locker room. A major error was found with the progression/item flag system. Certain collectables and items could be picked up repeatedly by reloading your save. This resulted in duplicate collectable items, infinite espresso pickups, etc. We've made some changes to try and fix these issues, but save files from the 1.0 version |
