NeverLight Devlog #2: Shaping the Darkness
Hey there, fellow Hunters!
We've been hard at work on NeverLight these past months, and we're excited to share our progress with you. Let's dive into what's new...

WHAT'S NEW
[h2]Fresh Trailer & Updated Steam Page[/h2]
We just dropped a new teaser trailer! We've also completely refreshed our Steam page with new screenshots and a better description of what NeverLight is all about.

[h2]Visual Overhaul[/h2]
Thanks to your feedback, we've completely redesigned the game's visuals. The world of NeverLight has transformed, and we think you're going to love it.
[h2]New Area: The Crimson Chasms[/h2]
We've created a new area for you to explore - The Crimson Chasms. These molten caverns are home to one of our favorite new monsters: the Magma Weavers. These massive spider-like creatures use burning silk to trap unwary hunters.
The rewards here are worth the risk... if you make it out alive!
[h2]Stealth Mechanics Coming Soon[/h2]
Not everyone wants to fight head-on. Our upcoming stealth system will let you:
* Put out lights to create shadow paths
* Track monsters safely from a distance
* Use the environment as cover
* Deliver powerful surprise attacks
We'll show you more of this system in the next two weeks!
[h2]Beta Coming This Summer[/h2]
We're working on:
* A test map showing off the core gameplay
* A tutorial to help you learn the basics
* Extraction mechanics that make every decision matter
* Few playable classes with unique abilities
* Hardcore monsters to fight with
The beta will begin in late summer or early autumn. We'll share registration details in our next update!
