Here are the original paintings for Villin from Somniphobia!

I simply paint out the body parts, take a photo of them with my phone and use lasso select in GIMP to carefully cut out the body pieces. Then I can just stick them all together in Unity ๐Ÿ˜„

Thank you! All the textures were hand painted so it makes it feel more โ€œrealโ€ in a weird way(Altho hard to tell with the high compression :/)

I would love there to be more survival aspects and make starvation / sleep deprivation more punishing! Survival mode on Minecraft is really easy to survive in. You could really go in on some creative monsters etc too ๐Ÿซข well I mean itโ€™s up to you really ๐Ÿ˜„

For our first year at uni we had to make a game in multimedia fusion. If you can spot any bugs in this play-through, let me know!

Having a small break is a good idea, but donโ€™t leave this game on the back burner for too long, it looks great ๐Ÿ˜Š

I forgot to mentionโ€ฆ in the original concept you werenโ€™t able to turn around and look behind you while you were in the vents (like in this video). Unfortunately this didnโ€™t make it to the final release as I couldnโ€™t get it to work properly at the time ๐Ÿ˜ข
