here's the newest control scheme.
This is an example of the SketchBook for drawing a door. I have no artistic ability and my pen tablet isn't working, so i used Paint for all 3 pictures. Though it looks like crap, it still gets the point across
The terrain layout of the first story (of 2 total stories)
I moved the bossbars to the right so players can Show UI (Ctrl) to see the minimap until I figure out how to make my own minimap. Here's the minimap with every room explored, except the 3 rooms unaccessible without SketchBook assistance
At several parts in the game I hope there will be event-triggered voice clips. Since that would be too much trouble in a simple demo, I made messages. Sorry about the UI showing -- the screenshot program i use requires Shift>...
the player is on higher ground, having used the Ladder sketchbook item, and is on his way to the boss' room!.... as soon as the door item works
A picture of the lightning tower laying waste to an ultralisk. I really like how this picture turned out
There are a few locked doors throughout the game. Here's a picture of the first one programmed/triggered in
the first units on the 2nd story you'll encounter (as of now, at least)
just a general picture of adoration for the darkness ^^
first attempt at stairs. this'll work fine, but currently the ghost walks right through em
In the game, you will have to learn how to draw items for the sketchbook. In this level, being a house, i wanted to use paintings, pictures, canvases, etc. But none of that is pre-loaded in the mapmaker so for now, examine this ...
An in-game picture as soon as the game starts (eventually there will be a short series of animations before the controls work, but this is a picture before that is implemented)
the current In-Game Menu
The quick menu is used for interactive menu's
The Dummy that doesn't follow you, doin his job
The result of using Magic > Doves. It's triggered kind of... oddly. Instead of turning the selected unit into the birds doodad, it changes their model, makes them immobile, unattacking, and unselectable, deselects them, and c...
1. the minimap in the top right is a temporary solution. I need a minimap with Fog of War like the real minimap. In the real game, the minimap will be the bottom screen
2. the bossbars are moved to the ...
The player talking to one of their old drawings
The main character (currently named "Roane") is an artist
There are obviously more ways to fight monsters in a dream than just with a gun
The first 2 enemies you'll encounter (YOU MUST SPRINT TO OUTRUN THEM)
A picture of the Mini-Boss, without me bothering to attack it
The dummy that does follow you, ready to jump in combat and pull them beasties off ya!
just a picture of the lightning tower, doing nothing

The terrain layout of the second story (of 2 total stories)
I originally wanted one character using the different weapons, but the more I think about it, the more i tell myself "it's a dream, why NOT look like more than one creature?!". I believe I'll start a poll... vote your oppinion please!
I've been going to summer camps for the past 3 or 4 years now put on by people in the video game industry, and about 3 years ago this idea popped up. Now that i'm bored with plenty of extra time and know the basics of the editor, i finally have means of making a demo! ALL RIGHTS ARE RESERVED!
I'm a little rusty, as i havent opened my notebook in over a year but, i'll try to give a quick description:
Gameplay takes place in your nightmares. Crazy stuff happens in your repetitive dreams and you have to make the subconcious journey to the source. Similar to Psychonauts i suppose. I should also add that the main character is an artist. The main unique feature plays off of something called "Lucid Dreaming" - basically being able to do ANYTHING in a dream. For example: Oh no! You're trapped in a room with no way out! Take out your SketchPad and draw a door (this is why it's for the DS) and.. oh hey look, there's a door in the wall that leads to the next room!
"Somnium" is latin, meaning "sleep" or "dream". I would have named it Nightmare, but there is no latin word for Nightmare (and i assume there's a game i dont know about already made named Nightmate). It would have to be "Somnium Malum" -- Bad Dream
