About PlaySomniac
PlaySomniac is a small indie game development studio based in Croatia. Our journey began with the goal of crafting unique, simple, yet engaging games that appeal to all types of players. As a small team, we collaborate with talented freelancers—programmers, designers, and musicians—who help us bring our vision to life. Our passion drives us to push creative boundaries and develop games that stand out, while remaining accessible and fun for everyone. Although we’re still working on our first game, we’re dedicated to making it something truly special.
Behind the Scenes: Latest Updates on Our Game Development
At PlaySomniac, we’re excited to share the latest progress on our first game, which is getting closer to completion! As a small indie studio from Croatia, we’ve been working hard to bring a unique and engaging gaming experience to players. However, like any project, we’ve faced our fair share of challenges.
Current Status
The biggest challenge we’ve encountered so far is coordinating with our talented freelancers—programmers, designers, musicians—who are spread across various locations. Balancing communication with them while ensuring we create a game that’s not only visually appealing but also enjoyable for players has been key. The good news is, we’ve completed all of the game’s main components, and we’re now in the process of implementing everything in Unity, the engine we’re using to bring our vision to life.
The next steps involve integrating the design elements into the game, followed by bug polishing and extensive testing to ensure a smooth player experience. We’re excited to announce that our target production release is set for January 1, 2025.
Feature Spotlight: Bust Slot Machines
One of the standout features in our game is the bonus round. When a player lands three or more bonus symbols, they unlock a special mini-game. The bonus game is simple yet engaging: you’ll bust 3 slot machines from the available 11, with each machine carrying a value ranging from 1 to 11. The cumulative value of the machines you bust will be multiplied by your current stake, adding a strategic element to the fun.
The inspiration for this mechanic came from our desire to offer something different in the world of slot games. We wanted to create more than just a typical spin-and-win experience—so we added a layer of decision-making to the bonus rounds, making each one feel unique. We believe this feature will give players a fresh take on slot gameplay, and we can’t wait to see how they respond.

This is our very first news article, and we’re thrilled to begin sharing our journey with you. As development continues, we’ll keep you updated with more articles and insights into the making of our game. Stay tuned for future updates, and we look forward to having you with us on this adventure!
