Pokémon Sleep Development To Shift To Internal Subsidiary

I don't play Pokemon Sleep, but Sleeping Beauty is a real contender for the sleeping game competition. 🤭

Sorry but I don't understand how a sleep app can make cash, does it just spam the advertising whilst you sleep? Or is it subliminal messages to buy stuff?

@Bunkerneath : No ads at all (fortunately). In-game currency (Diamonds) can be used to buy items, but paying with diamonds is obscenely expensive. There is a separate currency (with its own shop) that you can earn by sleeping, and that is how most people will buy in-game items.

Diamonds are best used on expanding your storage (Pokémon, Ingredients, and Bag space), and aren't unreasonably priced if looking for permanent upgrades in those areas, but in my six or so months of "playing" Sleep, I've received enough diamonds to gradually put toward storage expansions without spending any real-world money.

A bit concerning as Select Button only makes bangers... but they've also ONLY made Magikarp Jump and Pokemon Sleep in the past 10 years. I'm guessing they're a smaller studio that mostly does support work, art and UIs and such.

I'll keep an eye out for any negative changes but if this keeps Sleep supported for longer, it's a good thing. The structure of the game is there.

This is generally a good sign for the game. While not always, moving and consolidating publishing and development of a successful game is an indication you're going to invest heavily moving forward and want a bigger share of the profit then you were getting under the previous agreement.

Late stage cataplasm at it's finest! Select Button assumed all the risk and did all the work, and now that they overperformed and the game seems like a sure thing, the bigger fish is taking over and locking them out of future profits!

I really don't get this isn't mixed with alarmo
