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.

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!

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

Intruders! You have waited LONG ENOUGH.

After a little over a month of pre-alpha testing we are FINALLY ready to announce that...

Why? Because you're all... WORTHY

There are already close to *50* DUSK Mods of all shapes and sizes out in the wild including...

Incredible levels:



Very necessary sounds.
https://youtu.be/5xpRWfvMt9Y https://youtu.be/nfBSz9xIFvQ
Some UNUSUAL textures...



The classics...


And of course... memes.


The OFFICIAL home of DUSK mods can be found at Mod.io at DUSKMods.com


We will also of course be supporting The OG... Moddb.

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.


And for some reason you can soon play DUSK inside of DOOM. (wat)
https://youtu.be/VE5uYZgoe5k
But this is ONLY THE BEGINNING.
What's coming NEXT?

• Custom models (create new enemies!)
  
• Scripting (create events!)
  
• Custom weapons (chainsaws?!)
  
• Custom Music (BFG DIVISION ON LOOP)
  
• Full GoldSrc support (Play Ricochet in DUSK!)
  
• Dev Console (Press ~ to win)
  
• Steam Workshop (You know it)
  
• Making it completely open source (DUSK is for everyone!)

But enough talk! First you'll select the SDK branch in your DUSK game properties to get on the path to
WORTHINESS

• Then you can jump right into the FAQ to learn more about how to get started with the SDK
  
• Want to know more about how to start mapping? Get started with Trenchbroom!
  
• Want to talk to us directly about mapping and modding DUSK? Join the Discord!

We want to make the DUSK modding scene as open and robust as possible!

So what are you waiting for?!

Start MAPPING

start MODDING

Start PLAYING

And remember...

We've said it before and we'll say it again...

THIS is only the beginning. ːbigjohnː

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

It's been a crazy, insane ride and we can't wait to keep it going show you what's coming in 2020.

There's not a day that has gone by in the last year where we didn't hear from you about DUSK.
