WE DE-MADE DUSK!

What started as a fun little side project for David that we used as an April Fool's joke, has turned into a fully featured 8-bit puzzle game that you can't help but love. Check it out!

There's also a NEW BUNDLE in town with Golden Light. Don't know what Golden Light is? Well it's weird and we love it so you'll probably love it too. So buy it with DUSK and save some money. Or don't. We're not your boss. Or your momma. Might be your daddy tho. Sorry.

And YES, as promised, Halloween 2021 is bringing the Nintendo Switch release of DUSK (which we're not really supposed to advertise here) and with it the long awaited OLD and NEW update for DUSK on PC featuring the WEAPON WHEEL, CLASSIC HUD and MORE.







When?! NEXT WEEK.

Or as we always say... SOON™

See ya then, kiddos.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/519860/DUSK/

WELCOME BACK.

In our never ending quest to keep updating DUSK until the end of existence... we come to you today with an update to the current game... and a look at what's yet to come in the Year of Our Eldritch Lords 2021

First off, let's go over what's in THIS small update we just pushed.

Save deletion!

Finally, you can delete your DUSK saves in-game. Sorry it took us 3 years to add this feature. There's also neat new icons so we don't have to localize the words SAVE / LOAD / DELETE into more languages!

Next up...

A CONTINUE button!

As you may remember, DUSK was released episodically throughout 2017 / 2018. So in order to start a NEW episode you had to go back to the main menu after you beat every episode.

Well NOT ANY MORE. Now you can play right through all 3 episodes of DUSK without ever having to stop!

Go on, try it... taste the continuity.

And finally...

a MAX LOADOUT button.

For when you want to start a level with MAXIMUM firepower. But less button clicking.


However...

As part of our Switch port (which is totally almost finished we swear) we've completely redone the world map and loadout menus to be easier to read and navigate with a controller, keyboard, mouse and eyes.



And when we release those versions of the game?




As well as the Classic HUD we've shown off and been promising to you for so long.



I think we already told you this but anyway... yeah!


The final version of the DUSK SDK (and Steam Workshop) with full support for new enemies, weapons and literally everything else is still on its way. (With co-op to follow later)

Because we basically rebuilt the entire game to be 100% moddable at this point.

And for those of you who aren't waiting for Steam Workshop support to get into DUSK modding?

Including *7* new maps from the DUSK Spring 2021 Map Jam!

Besides DUSK itself, you may have noticed that we recently announced an 8-Bit DEMAKE called...

DUSK '82!

Inspired by puzzle classics like Sokoban and Chip's Challenge, DUSK '82 makes the world of DUSK even MORE retro.

It started as a fun little side project for David but has turned into a full on game with 30+ levels + a built in level editor.

A game that we'll be releasing and bundling in some way for you all SOON™ so be sure to give it a Wishlist, Follow and let us know if you'd buy a Game Boy Advance version. We're not kidding.

In addition to selling DUSK and DUSK accessories, David and Dillon continue to work on their next flagship game Gloomwood, which hopefully you know all about by now...

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1150760/Gloomwood/

As well as the latest Dread X Collection of 7 short FPS games which was directed by David!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1569550/Dread_X_Collection_The_Hunt/

Now sure all this GAME content is great. But how about some new colored pages from the upcoming finale of the DUSK Graphic Novel? by Jacob McManamy





You know this thing is over 200 pages now?

I guess we're just going to have to make a HARDCOVER version.

When? SOON™

Big Box? Still coming. SOON™

New merch? SOON™

Old Merch? BACK IN STOCK.

That's all... for now.

We love that we get to keep working on DUSK and letting more and more people experience a better and better version of the game year after year so thank you as always.

We've said it a million times and we're going to keep saying it...

THIS... IS ONLY THE BEGINNING.

I'm creative directing the newest entry in the Dread X series! Dread X: The Hunt features 7 horror shooters from 7 talented developers, hand picked and directed by me. If you enjoy any of my games, you'll enjoy this collection.

INTRUDERS.

Been a minute, yes?

Well it's Halloween so you know the DUSK Dudes were gonna come visit ya.



But this year we're not just bringing back Spooky DUSKWorld...

Even though we have totally done that and you should play DUSKWorld with us this weekend in

OUR DISCORD.



We've also updated both the DUSK SDK... AND THE MAIN GAME?!

That's right, thanks to our work on the Nintendo Switch™ verison of DUSK (which we just delayed, sorry) we've been making lots of performance improvements to DUSK.

GOOD NEWS is that some of those improvements are making it back into the PC Version.


Loading tunes? WHAT TUNES.



You will now load into DUSK almost instantly after the initial DOS bootup sequence. YOU'RE WELCOME.

Don't ask how we did it...

(You can also now add a "-skip-dos" launch option to skip the FakeDOS intro screen entirely.)

But you shouldn't because it's super cool and retro.

We've also re-written the achievement manager, as it contributed to a significant performance loss.

Shorter loads. Better performance. For DUSK. In 2020. Damn right.

But the DUSK SDK has also gotten a host of updates!

BEHOLD

• Heavily optimized startup code, which fixes the infamously long "loading tunes" screen.
  
• Fixed health and armor being incorrect after loading a save on a custom level.
  
• Lighting accuracy in Quake 1 BSP (v29) maps has been improved.
  
• Cartdogs no longer spawn without a model.
  
• Wendigos now correctly spawn invisible.
  
• Missing models will now display as a cube.
  
• Idle animations in custom models will now play correctly.
  
• Added a -skip-dos launch option to skip the FakeDOS intro screen.
  
• Fixed a bug that caused music (and possibly other assets) to occasionally fail to load.
  
• Significantly reduced texture allocations when atlasing lightmap data, resulting in faster map loads and better performance.

And YES, Custom weapons, Steam Workshop and Co-Op are still coming.

In addition to that, some things we've added to the console version (like the weapon wheel) will be making it back to the PC Version... SOON™

(You can see the weapon wheel in action below)

However, the PC version will also be getting ALL NEW features such as...

(By the one and only HDOOMguy)


Oh yes.

What, did you think we were ever even close to done here?

https://dusk.mod.io/ grows EVERY DAY.
The NEW BLOOD GALLERY grows EVERY DAY.



THIS IS ONLY THE BEGINNING.

Oh, also DUSK merch is back in stock.



Thanks as always for your support ːleatherneckː

Since the DUSK SDK entered alpha...
it's been amazing seeing all the stuff you HERETICS have come up with.

And now we've added CUSTOM MUSIC to the mix.

You know what that means...


That's right, you can now add ANY music you want to custom DUSK levels.

So play Half Life maps in DUSK with DOOM music. GO AHEAD, WE DARE YA.
Or just play Quake in DUSK!


We've also added:

• Support for custom level names in stats and the end level screen
  
• Support for .lit files (it's LIT)

Oh, Steam Workshop? Coming SOON™

But that's not all...

You can already play the majority of Quake INSIDE OF DUSK.


You can start loading Half Life maps INSIDE OF DUSK.

Has it really been a year already? Wow, time flies when you're hupping around at 77mph, eh?



And we're celebrating in MANY WAYS.



This Saturday, December 14th, tune in to Twitch.tv/NewBlood to watch myself, David and Andrew play through DUSK and record our OFFICIAL developer commentary on how we built the game from start to finish. You won't wanna miss this.



What does that mean? It means if you own DUSK on Steam you can get a FREE DRM FREE copy of it on GOG... right now! (for a limited time)

More info HERE



The first iteration of the SDK will allow you to load up Quake and Half Life maps, replace any 3D model, sound, font or texture in the game and much more.

But SOON™ the SDK will allow you to do basically anything to the game since it practically runs on its own engine now. It's going to get pretty wild.



More SDK info HERE.

• We can't believe it's been a year already.
  
• We can't believe DUSK is available in 16 languages now.
  
• We can't believe we're opening an office this year.
  
• We can't believe DUSK still isn't out on Nintendo Switch ːbigjohnː
