LAUNCH INFO

Only days remain...

Hours...

Minutes...


DUSK is almost here.

But when exactly?!


I'm glad you asked...

DUSK: Episode 3 Early Access will be available on December 7th (Friday) at 9pm PST!


Here's a handy countdown to make it easy for you to know exactly when

It's not too late to get Early Access to Episode 3 on Friday night!


You can still get the game in Early Access (like right now) and give us that sweet sweet extra $3 and play Episode 3 this weekend. You know you wanna...

Oh, and since we messed up and forgot to add a new package to Steam on Halloween...

EVERYONE who buys the game in Early Access will be getting the graphic novel FOR FREE. (We really do hate money)

Free comics for everyone! Woo!




Anyway... for those of you who are holding out for the FULL LAUNCH:

DUSK will be FULLY launched on December 10th (Monday) at 11am PST!


Count down with us!

When DUSK is available on December 10th, you'll be able to purchase DUSK or upgrade to the "Intruder Edition" which includes the Soundtrack and Graphic Novel for an additional $10.

That's it. No other fancy editions. No DLC. No micro transactions.


Meanwhile - if you want to support Andrew Hulshult and his KILLER soundtrack as much as possible - feel free to buy the "Intruder Edition" or get the OST directly from Andrew on his Bandcamp which will be up... SOON.


Until then - follow him on Twitter to know exactly when the OST will be available... EVERYWHERE.

It won't be long now... ARE YOU FEELIN WORTHY, PUNK?! ːbigjohnː

THE TIME IS NIGH

THE MOMENT IS AT HAND


DUSK v1.0 HAS A RELEASE DATE

BEHOLD

https://youtu.be/ArTqofOwzxE
But that's not all...


DUSK will launch at a special discounted price of $16.66 (heh, \m/emes) for a limited time.
You're welcome.

But what about me?! I paid $20 for DUSK - you owe me... $3.34!


Fair enough! You drive a ard bargain, lurkers. Therefore, everyone who owned DUSK before Halloween (if you're reading this it's too late) will be getting the 50+ page DUSK graphic novel... FOR FREE. Yes, free. Remember, we hate money.

Need a refresher on just how dope that comic novel is? Well then, allow me to enlighten you:



And for everyone else who supports DUSK in Early Access? We'll be giving you the chance to play Episode 3 early. A whole weekend ahead of all the villainous scum who waited for launch. It's the least we could do. (We love all of you, truly)

Glorious, isn't it?

But enough about what we'll be giving you SOON...
What about what we're giving you NOW?


That's right - DUSK has just been updated as you read this:

With what, you might ask?

Endless Arena 3 - The Cathedral




Get a taste of Episode 3 and its enemies with this new endless level. How long can you survive against the hordes of evil? Watch out for the tornado...



A remastered main menu track
(thanks Andrew)

FULL CONTROLLER SUPPORT
(have fun, peasants)

(WIP controller layout screen)

TWO new cheat codes!
  • NBULLETS - Infinite Ammo
  • NBUFO - Fly Fly Away
New key art!
(thanks Jacob)



Updates to Episodes 1 & 2
(can you spot them all?!)

And last but not least...
a new DUSKWorld playable character.




The fearsome, the furrsome, the hound of torment, the pupper of lament, he is... CART DOG! (yeah he's a legless evil hound with a rocket launcher strapped to his cart just go with it, okay?)



So, yeah. DUSK v1.0 is finally almost a thing. Pretty crazy, eh?


I know I sound like a broken record at this point but we wouldn't be here without all of YOU. You lurking shitposting scum... lord do we love you.

And you know we're just getting warmed up, right? Don't forget 2019 will bring the DAWN SDK, Steam Workshop, Mac, Linux, Switch ports, co-op?! and MORE.

You keep supporting DUSK, we'll keep givin' it to ya - HARD AND FAST. ːLoreleiː

An UPDATE?!



Don't get TOO excited... it's not Episode 3.


But it IS important.

As we work to put the finishing touches on the game - we've brought DUSK fully into Unity 2018.

This will allow us to do much more with the game moving forward (like the Switch port) and streamline all of our processes. Huzzah! (Patch notes below)

https://steamcommunity.com/app/519860/discussions/0/1474222499229643131/

While we were doing this...

We also made changes to the UI/UX and menu systems!




Menus are now streamlined and split into LOOK / FEEL / SOUND.

We've also added some cheeky pixelization option names for ya (right click to enlarge)



Meanwhile...

As we get closer to finishing Episode 3


We've also started to go back and polish up Episodes 1 & 2, look for areas to improve in terms of both environmental storytelling and level design, and generally make sure the content is as good as it can be. Ye.



You'll already notice some of these small tweaks in E1M2 & E1M3.



In DUSKWorld news...


We've fixed some remaining bugs and also added a new map!

You may recognize it as E2M6 - The Erebus Reactor.



This is a very large and open map with plenty of hunting rifles abound.

HAPPY FRAG NIGHT SNIPING ːbigjohnː



We'll be adding TDM next. You want it? YOU GOT IT.

We've also put out a call for achievements!


If you think you've got good ideas for DUSK achievements - let us know HERE:

https://twitter.com/DUSKdev/status/1039296451375857664

If we use YOUR achievement? We'll credit you in the game! Neat.



We've also been on the road!




We took DUSK Episode 3 to Quake Con and PAX West!

We let people play it! Even that GGGMan dude! https://twitter.com/DaveOshry/status/1027766548616933376

We even brought New Blood Chan! UwU



We think they liked it?! We even showed it off a bit on the EVGA Stream at PAX

(SPOILERS AHEAD)

Oh yeah... Episode 3? It's basically done.

We're just working on the final boss now. And polish. And achievements.
And we couldn't do any of this without YOU

As always be sure to follow me at https://twitter.com/DaveOshry and in Discord.gg/NewBlood for all the latest.

We're getting really close. Like REALLY close. It's scary. HOLD US.


We've even got a release date in mind.

And we'll be sure to share it with you... SOON™
