Hello Everyone!

This is the thread dedicated to the update log for the Friday Updates for No More Sleep, a Sci-Fi RPG mixed with Adventure and story elements to become one of the greatest works on Roblox! No game is currently as sophisticated and original as this on the entire platform. No inspirations for this game came from other Roblox games. This game is inspired from a past MMOG, “Lego Universe” and a medieval RPG, “Skyrim,” along with a few other small games that helped inspire the process of this game.

With those games in mind, we have been inspired to create this phenomenon, No More Sleep! It is going to set forth and raise the bar to what a Roblox game can accomplish. It is planned to run on every possible platform and support it whole-heartily - not limited to: Computer, Phone, Tablet, Console, and VR.

Imagine journeying a gigantic open world with quests, weapons you can create and craft yourself, play with your friends, and have the best immersive experience of all time in a video game. Sounds great, right? To be sure that the storyline is great, we have let this idea grow for a long time. This also let us find out that this can indeed be done.

So, what are you waiting for? This journey awaits you, unlike no other. Join your friends, and together, you can save Bakerville and The Mindscape from chaos.

++ Update 0.5.4 - A new Animation System REBUILT for NPCs! ++
~ Friday Update 24 ( 5 / 1 / 2021 )
(Sorry for the short delay to Saturday, big preparations for v0.6.0 are underway!)

Note: LOTS of preparations are being done for this next gigantic upcoming update. For now, here are some patch notes!

What’s new in InDev Version 0.5.4?

Added a global animation library for NPCs. Animations officially load 100% on the client, greatly increasing the speed of the game for everyone, especially for a future feature that this will be essential for!

Fixed an arm glitch for player animations when selecting weapons
Fixed a big bug where animations wouldn’t load to characters
Fixed a bug where now all of the Characters in the game had animator humanoid descendants
Fixed a bug where animations weren’t properly read through loading every descendant of the NPC global dictionary.
Fixed a bug that made the animation dictionaries load twice for every NPC
Fixed a lot more bugs that are too long to list!

=============================
++ Update 0.5.3 - Major Features and Performance Improvements! ++
~ Friday Update 23 ( 4 / 20 / 2021 )
(Make up for a missed week update!)

Note: A huge update that brings in old features in a new way, specifically geared toward simplicity, memory usage, and data, all at the same time enhancing the scripting experience and player experience in the upcoming vast world of No More Sleep. We have a couple of features left before we can get to version 0.6.0, which a lot of people have been anticipating. We’re almost there, but in the meantime, enjoy the content this update has to offer!

What’s new in InDev Version 0.5.3?

You can now skip through dialogue!!! An enhanced system that universally supports all devices. Just press whatever keybind you use to engage in conversations with.
Added a Module-Bus Data system used for transferring data to the client and server
Added the ability to Tween Players AND their items at any given time (It does this during dialogue sequences currently!)
Added Keybind Hints above heads! This was an old feature that was completely revamped, and now supports all device types with our new workspace hierarchy system.
Revamped the entire CharacterObject, EnemyObject, and System

Fixed a rare loading bug by reloading imported modules.
Fixed a complete script crash by unloading client-server modules from other clients.
Loading screen actually waits for things to load properly.
Fixed too many other little bugs to list here.

Dismantled the old tweenTransparency function in replacement for the new efficient one that works universally. We had this function cloned in multiple scripts, wasting tons of client memory.
Removed the old “Chat” button and overheads, and combined “Interact”'s toolset with “Chat.”

=============================
++ Update 0.5.2 - Major New Features and Content! ++
~ Friday Update 22 ( 4 / 15 / 2021 )
(A gigantic update! )

Note: Another magnificent update with significant process on the game’s development. This update adds LOTS of new content (the most we’ve ever had in one update!) This update also gets rid of ALL bugs from the previous version, and tremendously improves performance with LOTS of new front AND back-end features. We’re almost ready to release the worlds all linked together, including our new worlds that have been never-before seen to our public testers, then to the public to witness!

Also, our old developers are returning as well! This is truly a great and fortunate time for Oatmeal Creations!

What’s new in InDev Version 0.5.2?

Animations are assigned to Characters again! Your characters will now be animated with the NMS Engine instead of Roblox’s engine (which we did before.) This makes it much faster and efficient!
Added in-game music!
Dialogue Added! Now Introducing a never-before seen feature - Dialogue Options!!! You can now communicate with NPCs in a majority of ways.
Also Introducing the new Dialogue Tree NPC System, and Event-Driven Dialogue. Currently, Event is the only available, but in the next release (or next next release) Dialogue Tree should be an option!
New Weapons/Items Database, accessible through the entire client.
Focusing Abilities return! Now you can focus and UNFOCUS (New)

Fixed a CRUCIAL bug where modules would halt the entire client from running any scripts
Fixed a bug where menu wouldn’t respond to clicking. Expect XBox support for the menu soon!
Fixed a bug with Animation-Based Character Movement where you would run in place, or at the wrong times.
Fixed another bug that prevented running animations from playing.
Soon to be working on Datastore information.
Soon to be working on weapon-influenced animation.

Removed Old Hotkey Systems
Removed Old ModuleBook Reference for NPCs, for the new upcoming Dialogue-Tree based system!

=============================
++ Update 0.5.1 - The Huge Improvements and TONS of New Content Update ++
~ Friday Update 21 ( 4 / 14 / 2021 )
(Make up update for the past hiatus! )

Note: This update completely changes everything. TONS of lag reduction, simplicity, and performance enhancements. This was definitely the way to go. Our original developer team came back this week as well, so I can definitely say the future of Oatmeal Creations is looking bright! Let’s shoot for the moon and get ready for Pre-Alpha, we’re getting close!

What’s new in InDev Version 0.5.1?

Added Easy-Import, our new original feature to all client-sided scripts!
Added Animations back to the game in an efficient way.
Added Global-use Animations. Animations can now be called and entirely loaded onto every script in the game in literally 1 second when the player joins!
Added AnimationPriorities, fixing animation overlapping issues prior to this version.
Instead of a 30 second loading screen for loading the intro, loading speeds went from 30 seconds in early InDev updates to LITERALLY 2 seconds as of version 0.5.1! (Easy-Import and Modules make this possible!)
Added global SetSpeed, making it possible to change the player’s speed from any Client-based script

Improved universal utilities tremendously, now it supports wrapping functions for multithreading, and WaitForChild. This tremendously speeds up production speeds pertaining to game code, and it’s less of a pain for finding (and fixing) bugs.

Removed entire old animation system for a complete re-do.
Removed the entire server-side of scripts to be entirely redone in a future update.
Removed old animation loading system
Removed old datastore system for a complete re-do in a nearby future update. (WARNING: Data will not save in this version as we’re actively working on a new datastore system!)

=============================
++ Update 0.5.0 - The Entire Game Revamp Update ++
~ Friday Update 20 ( 4 / 12 / 2021 )
(Sorry it was delayed to Monday)

Note: This was a REALLY big update. Mostly with back-end stuff, but the entire game was remade pretty much. From here on out, No More Sleep will work as a library system. This way, the code for the worlds will all link together at the same time. When a new feature is added to the code base, it updates in all worlds.

The Roblox Chat is currently not in the game, nor is any other Roblox GUI because

Update Notes +
I wish Roblox let me place scripts on a library that goes across multiple servers, but for now,
I updated all of the scripts to be consistent throughout the entire game so far, meaning the
Mindscape now has mobile support!
You can now die in the game and not break it! Epic win :3
NotificationService is carried throughout the game!
A bunch of new animations, including jumping in the backstory place!
You can now go indoors! It’s not perfect yet but it’s added, and glitches are there but hard to find.

Working on Datastores, so people’s progress and location in the game can save. Stay tuned!

Removed the current inventory system in place for the new one coming out the next update.
Deleted a bunch of old unnecessary code. The game should be running quite a bit faster now!

Cleaned out lots of irrelevant stuff

*Dev notes:
The game is finally continuing development, so stay tuned
for TONS of new content! We had a major setback with an
inconvenienced plugin, but now we are ONLY using the blender
importing plugin to do our work from now on until further notice.
