Studio Notes
Array Studios is happy to present to you, Sleepless Nights [THRILLER]
This new version of SLN is a complete rework of what we last published. If you have been following the progress on our github / discord, youll see that weve been hard at work trying to create a quality experience for you.
What is Sleepless Nights [THRILLER]?
When we were playing v3.0 of sleepless nights, we noticed that not everyone could enjoy our horror based pack. The version is meant for those whom are experienced, and well, could be quite overwhelming for those getting into it or those without the highend PC's.
Sleepless Nights [THRILLER] is meant for the casual player / new player. If you are looking for a quick scare or to enjoy a casual horror experience without all the jargon that is involved with SLN v3.0, then SLN [THRILLER] is meant for you.
Behind the development
SLN [THRILLER] is powered by the NeoForge modloader along with Sinytra Conector. We used these two powerful tools to make both Forge and Fabric mods work together, something previously not avaliable to us. Dont worry, we playtested this version to our best ability and have found no bugs.
This versions resources are powered by Alacrity along with John's addons. The ingame fonts are provided by the Cat's resourcepack.
The game also runs on Spooklementry shaders (powered by oculus)
Future Plans
We of course plan to continue to update this version of the pack, dont worry, we wont forget about SLN. As of right now we are working on two other projects Limitless [UNBOUND] and A Shared Experience. We encourage you to try these as we update them.
Our Creative Lead, Puzzled41, is always cooking up update ideas so follow the project / studio page to stay notified of future updates.
We would love it if you could support us through patron or any other of our sources. We put a lot of time and money into these projects and we truly hope you love them.
For local hosting with your friends, the pack uses a mod entitled e4mc. This will allow you and your friends to play together without having to buy a server....
BEWARE OF LAG!!!!!!!!
Studio Announcements
We noticed that modpack authors dont really care about the server side versions of their modpacks. We want to be that change. For all versions of all our packs, there will be a server zip file for download for you to use. We hope that this will encourage you to use it when you go to host servers. If you are going to play with friends, the pack uses e4mc as a local host... beware of lag!
We truly hope you enjoy what we have created for you. This has been a long time coming. See you guys in like, idk...., 9 more months (jk.... right?)
Much Love, Array Studios ❤️
