DUSK News

[h2]Hello again, faithful.[/h2]

[h3]WELCOME BACK.[/h3]
Now, before we get started. You may have heard that we released DUSK for Nintendo Switch today.

Normally we wouldn't post about another game platform here on Steam, but...

A. It's relevant and B. Check out this sick trailer we made:

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
[h3]Now why is that relevant? [/h3]
Because AS PROMISED we're bringing features from the Nintendo Switch version of DUSK back to the PC version! And we're starting that... TODAY.

[h3]WEAPON WHEEL[/h3] (Hold Q to use)


[h3]IMPROVED WORLD MAP[/h3] (Easier to read and easier to use)


[h3]BETTER CONTROLLER BINDINGS[/h3]
(even DualShock 4 support)


[h3]THE CLASSIC HUD [/h3](One for each episode)




We've also added TWO NEW accessibility features.

[h3]AUTO-HOP and AUTO-CLIMB.[/h3]

Tired of mashing the space bar to bunny hop? WELL NOW YOU DON'T HAVE TO.

Don't want to hold WALK to use the climbing powerup? THEN DON'T.

Both of these options are available NOW



[h3]Also we finally made a bundle with AMID EVIL and ULTRAKILL[/h3]

[h3]And DUSK merch is back in stock.[/h3]

Now that all this stuff is FINALLY out of the way...

We can get back to working on the remaining SDK features and Steam Workshop support.

And boy oh boy is that workshop going to come pre loaded with some GOODIES.

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.

[h3]WELCOME BACK.[/h3]
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.

[h3]Save deletion![/h3]

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...

[h3]A CONTINUE button![/h3]

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...

[h3]a MAX LOADOUT button.[/h3]

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

[h3]So that's what in the game NOW.[/h3]

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?

[h3]We'll be simultaneously bringing the features from consoles (like that new world menu and the weapon wheel) back to the PC version.[/h3]



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!

[h3]So look forward to it... SOON™[/h3]

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?

[h3]Don't forget to check out the latest at DUSKMods.com[/h3]



[h3]Including *7* new maps from the DUSK Spring 2021 Map Jam![/h3]

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

[h3]DUSK '82![/h3]
[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
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...

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

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.



[h3]That's all... for now.[/h3]
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.
