Development Insights

This project has been in the works for over a year, and it has been a labor of love. I wanted to make a horror game that was not only scary but also encapulates the feeling of being a child afraid of the dark. This project has taught me a lot of valuable lessons about game development, from sound design to level design and game design. I also learned a lot about cinemachines and timelines, which were crucial for creating the game's atmosphere and pacing. Overall, Insomnia has been a challenging but rewarding project that has pushed my skills as a game developer.
