- Hypnagogia Prequel + New Store Page Announcement - 14 April 2026
Hi all-For those who haven't heard, and for both new and old fans of Boundless Dreams... a new game in the Hypnagogia series is officially being developed and the store page is now live!Details:Acting as a prequel to Boundless Dreams, it follows a story directly tied to Gogi, the dream rabbit you may remember who you played as in the Ethereal Crux (and who appeared throughout the original game).There will be a heavy emphasis on water-themed elements with new mechanics such as swimming and a "dream sanity" system, as well as lots of new characters, cutscenes, and a plot that will tie both the first jam game and Boundless Dreams together.The first and original Hypnagogia game can still be played for free on itch. io, though at some point I may put a new version of it up on Steam one day soon just to make it an official trilogy.Check out the newly established store page for the game here a…

- Updated to Version 0.4.1 - 18 June 2022
Hi all- Dropping a quick but somewhat substantial patch update to the game today. It includes several quality of life improvements (many of which should have been there to begin with, but hey) and a few fixes for level geometry/placement of objects which may cause you to get stuck. Here's the full list: Fixed bug in Forest World that prevented you from throwing bombs if you threw one before a cutscene Fixed an area in Forest World behind the Life Tree that you would get stuck in Fixed a hole in the final Space World room that let you fly out into space forever (there's nothing out there, I'm sorry) Fixed bug where game audio would suddenly get loud upon entering/leaving a world Added a bit more "jungle" background ambience to Forest World Added a "Quit" button to in-game pause menu that lets you immediately quit to desktop Added a confirmation prompt to all cutscenes to prevent accident…
- Version 0.4 "The Ancient Update" Now Live! - 20 May 2022
Hi all- The newest content update for Hypnagogia: Boundless Dreams is now here, and it's my most involved and gameplay-oriented world yet. I'll let it speak for itself once you jump back in, so I won't give any spoilers or hints on how to uncover its hidden location (but I'm sure you'll have no trouble seeking it out). Other than that, there are several small QoL changes and other new features that hopefully further enhance the game's experience. From biggest to smallest: Newly added support for both Mac and Linux platforms*** Added 5 brand new achievements associated specifically with the new secret world. Added new "Toggle HUD" option within the pause menu, which can be used to temporarily hide any UI elements so better screenshots can be taken. Improved many platforming areas that caused bugs, such as getting stuck in a "sliding" state and not being able to jump without restarting. C…
- Short delay for new upcoming content update - 16 April 2022
Hey all- Unfortunately, I am going to have to put a short delay on Hypnagogia's upcoming content update. Lots of other tasks have been blindsiding me lately and what I still have left to do for the update will definitely not get finished by next week. I've made a lot of progress on the look, feel, and mechanics for the game's Ancient Update. It's all coming along great so far! This might just be the most involved (and weirdest) experience so far in Hypnagogia. I think giving it another month will help me iron out the remaining bug fixes, dialogue, and tests for Mac and Linux builds so that it can be as smooth as possible. I'm truly excited for you to experience this new content I've been working on! In the meantime, please enjoy these new previews for Hypnagogia's Ancient Update. See you on May 20th~
- Hypnagogia Fanart Submissions - 25 March 2022
Hi all- As development on Hypnagogia's latest update continues, it's come time to announce that I will be adding another new Art Gallery in the game. This time, I'm opening up the chance for you to submit your illustrations of anything from the game, whether it's a character, environment, or your own original Hypnagogia-styled artwork, all to be displayed within a hidden area in the upcoming dream world. The Details: This event will run from March 25th through April 20th. If you miss that date, you can still submit artwork but it will be included in a different future update. To have your fanart appear in the game, make a new post in the Community Hub's Artwork tab on the game's store page, then include the Title/Description and your social media handle/name. You may also send your submission to me via tweet @sodaraptor_dev! This event is for those who want to see their art immortalized…
- Upcoming New Content Update - 5 March 2022
Hi all- It's been a wild beginning to this year, and I hope you're all doing well both mentally and physically. After a break from developing on Hypnagogia, I'm back to work. Today I'd like to share some news for new content I'm creating for an upcoming update, slated for April 22nd. In the Ancient update, get ready to explore an entirely new and exotic dream world, hidden somewhere deep in a thick, mysterious overgrowth. Fall into a sprawling, forested temple complex, wherein many strange secrets await. Solve puzzles, avoid traps, and decrypt the ramblings of the denizens as you navigate a labyrinthian dungeon. Relive an old-new visual style from the era of late 90s console games starring plumbers and elven warriors. Support for Mac and Linux builds. This will be an attempt at making my most visually and narratively interesting world so far, and I hope you are as excited about the upda…
- Minor Update Version 0.3.3 - 24 December 2021
Hi all - Just a quick and small minor patch to Hypnagogia following the 0.3 sunken update. Fixed an issue with the hidden whirlpool teleport not triggering correctly (hopefully) Greatly improved framerate performance in Mushroom World, Ice World, and Desert World Mist World I tried my best to get framerates up, but sadly it's near impossible without completely removing the water effects (they aren't very well optimized) Steam Only: Fixed an issue with the "Frightful Freckle" achievement not registering correctly Made quest direction clearer in Mist World with additional guiding lights Improved dialogue flow in the new hidden underwater world to make it clearer how to progress. I'm aware of a small bug that causes you to stop sprinting if you run into moving objects or hit a certain incline height. This is heavily integrated into the game's character controller so it is not an easy fix.…

- Upcoming Major Content Update - 8 December 2021
Hi all- I have a big update planned for Hypnagogia: Boundless Dreams, slated for release on December 22nd. This will be the last major patch for the foreseeable future, excluding the need for any minor patches due to bugs or performance issues. In this future update you will find: A massive new secret dream world to explore, hidden within one of the existing levels. Submerged for millennia, what mysteries and treasures does this sunken temple hold? Level select hub. You will be able to traverse each world individually in any order you want once you've beaten the main game once, or if you've already beaten it prior to this patch, it will be unlocked for you already. Developer commentary. You will find interactive nodes for each main dream world in the level select hub that detail my personal notes and thoughts during development of the game. 37 total Steam achievements. Many you've proba…
- Hypnagogia: Boundless Dreams Steam Nomination - 24 November 2021
Hi all- As you're all aware, the Steam Awards are on the horizon, and the button to nominate your favorite game into a category is now available on the store page. That being said, I wanted to get in on the fun and try getting Hypnagogia: Boundless Dreams some nominations! If you've played the game, you've probably noticed the many stylized environments, unique character designs, and varied atmospheres. Did these visuals leave an impact on you? When development of Boundless Dreams began shortly after the first Hypnagogia, along with detailing my weird dreams in an interactive sense, I wanted also to detail them in a weird, but memorable, visual style. Needless to say, I have a strong affinity for consoles that were popular at the turn of the century, so I chose to go with graphics and models inspired by their games. My intention was not only to express my own personal love for those con…
- Updated to version 0.2.6 - 21 November 2021
Minor patch update, which includes the following adjustments: Many fixes to dialogue typos, inconsistencies, and grammatical errors. Lava World: Fixed some areas where the respawn triggers would send you to the incorrect return point. Lava World: Added an extra teleport up the mountain in another alcove (in case you decide not to sell your soul). Mushroom World: Added collision in areas where you were able to jump over the treeline and fall off the level. Ice World: Created additional optional NPCs with some (friendly) interactions. Space World: Added interesting sound triggers when flying through the moving anti-rings. Mansion World: Improved context and hints for piano puzzle (however the key sequence remains the same). Reassigned the "skip" button in the blackhole and Gogi's levels to instead take you back to the main menu (these should never have been skippable). Clarity improvement…
- Updated to Version 0.2.5 + Major Patch News - 13 November 2021
Hi all- Version 0.2.5 is now live for Boundless Dreams. It's a fairly minor patch with no main content changes and primarily fixes/improvements to miscellaneous issues. Various fixes to collision issues. Performance improvements in some areas. Misc graphical improvements. Added extra, optional dialogue choices for certain meandering NPC characters. Fixed issues with hidden book object. Altered piano key puzzle in mansion level to be ever so slightly more difficult. Anything I missed may also have been listed in the previous news post regarding this update. The next patch to come will involve major content changes, and is slated for an early December release. It will include: Several new hidden dream worlds to explore. Level select option after first game completion. Steam achievements. Additional menu options, including a vsync, run, and reticle toggle. As always if you have any questio…
- Upcoming Minor Update Version 0.2.5 - 10 November 2021
Hi all- I have a very minor update planned for this weekend of 11/12. These will only contain small cosmetic changes. Specific changes in version 0.2.5 will include: Improving collision to areas where the player can clip through and miss important dialogues. Player can clip through window in Advisor's mushroom hut window, missing the kid's hint dialogue trigger. Adding missing collider during "heaven" sequence where the player can fall off the level. Adding collision to bottom of courtyard pools in misty water level. Secret book interaction in the misty water level will become a simple "touch and teleport" trigger, due to the amount of issues it was causing. Dynamic camera shakes to mansion monster stomps. New optional NPC to space level near first codex cube. Better Biscuit emotes. More optional dialogue choices to flirt with the pyramid door. You weirdos. Various minor texture updates…
