Coming SOON™

Intruders! Been awhile... hasn't it?


Seems like we haven't spoken... in AGES.

Well, we've been busy. And we've got a lot to talk about. Because we've got a lot coming at ya...

First and foremost, the DUSK SDK (DAWN) is nearly ready to start being tested!


And rest assured, this ain't no simple level editor, you're going to be able to do EVERYTHING to the game. Change, import and export every texture, model, level, sound... you name it.

Hell, by the time DAWN is ready - it will damn near be its own engine.



Basically, if you can do it to Quake, you can do it to DUSK - and vice versa.


To that end: we've just published a simple API called The New Blood: Clot (get it?) that allows for exporting DUSK assets into .iqm format. NEAT. Try it for yourself, rip apart your favorite games!

https://github.com/NewBloodInteractive/Clot

But that's definitely not as cool as this sweet as '90s style launcher we made for the SDK!

But we'll talk more about the SDK soon...

We've also been hard at work on LOCALIZATION.


DUSK has now been translated in to:
  • German
  • Spanish
  • French
  • Italian
  • Ukranian
  • Russian
  • Turkish
  • Portuguese
  • Polish
  • Japanese
  • and Korean!

But for the first actual implementation we decided to start with the hardest one... CHINESE!

And it's just about done.


The next DUSK update, which will be coming in time for the Steam Summer Sale, will feature Chinese localization, a new LANGUAGE menu, and both English + Chinese subtitles for all the dialogue in the game - even the stuff written on the walls. Check it:



Pretty cool, right? Tell someone who speaks one of those 13 languages that DUSK will soon be making a lot more sense.

Seriously, please tell someone - this was a lot of work...

ANYWAY...

We've also been hard at work on the DRM Free (GOG) version of DUSK

That WILL have Steam + GOG + DRM Free Multiplayer Crossplay.

Why? Because the two dozen people who play DUSKWorld demanded it!

Plus we'll be bringing back IP and offline LAN support
JUST IN TIME FOR QUAKE CON.


This has been kind of a pain in the ass but it's almost done.
So expect THAT version of DUSK... this summer!

Meanwhile...

Yes, we're still working on the Nintendo Switch version of DUSK
(we showed it off back at PAX East)

https://youtu.be/OsVDRsLrdrU
And YES - we're still making a BIG Box version of the game.
(with soap and sickle keychains in it)



And YES - we really did get Nicolas Cage to wear one of our new DUSK Baseball Tees



(not really)

But YOU can get your own along with other merch at: https://newblood.games/store



And last but certainly not least...

For those of you who have been patiently waiting...


DUSK will finally be going on sale this summer.

How soon? VERY soon.


Better yet?

We'll also be launching a NEW bundle that gets you discounts on DUSK + AMID EVIL




And you won't have to wait too long for that, because...

AMID EVIL launches TODAY.


https://store.steampowered.com/app/673130/AMID_EVIL/

That's it for now, lurkers...

So... brush up on your Chinese, get your Trench Brooms out, put your DUSK Baseball shirts on, lather up with your bacon scented soap, and put a sticky note on your Nintendo Switch.

The DUSK dudes are comin' for ya... SOON™

Three years ago...



David gave the world its first look at DUSK

https://youtu.be/8X2sPPEKbqs
It wasn't much... but all the pieces were there.

And he thought things were almost final back then... OH WHAT A FOOL HE WAS.

Not long after that video was made - David sent me a test build of DUSK. He was a fan of some of my previous work and thought I might like it... and I didn't... I LOVED IT.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/4q7cn2sckfgta1u/DuskTestLevel.zip?dl=0

^ And as you can now know for yourself... it was all there.

The movement, the shooting, the interactivity, the keys, the doors, the puzzles, the secrets, the portals, the beds, the beer! It was rough - but it was awesome.



I knew right away that both David and DUSK were special.

We started working together immediately.


And three years later... here we are.

https://youtu.be/LbqNRDPd5_k
But DUSK doesn't exist in its current form just because of David or me or Andrew or even the rest of the New Blood team.

No, DUSK exists today because of YOU.


I told you all those years ago that I wanted to build this game piece by piece and brick by brick with YOU - our players.

Because of YOU - DUSK is the game you see before you.

Because of YOU - DUSK is a certified hit.

Because of YOU - DUSK is beloved by both critics and players alike.

Because of YOU - DUSK will live on far beyond 2019.

Because YOU... are worthy.




But we're just getting started...
  • Mac/Linux and DRM Free versions are coming
  • TDM, CTF and DUSKWorld content updates are coming
  • Language localizations are coming
  • The SDK + Steam Workshop Mods are coming
  • Co-Op is coming
  • MORE achievements are coming
  • New Game + is coming
  • Console Ports are coming
  • The Big Box Physical Collector's Edition is coming
  • New DUSK merch is coming to The New Blood Store
  • and IndieBox
  • The CD and Vinyl Soundtrack is coming
  • REAL LIFE SOAP IS COMING (wait, what)


And so much more.


And yes - we hear you. You want to support DUSK and support New Blood.

And you wanna know how? However you can.

Buy our other games, write reviews, comments, threads, posts, tweets, statuses, create art, shitpost memes, PREACH FROM THE HIGHEST MOUNTAIN. Let the people know you support developers who do things the RIGHT way. Who work not just FOR you but WITH you.

Spread the good word of New Blood, acolytes!

Because we love you and we hate money.


Talk SOON™
