Big Future Update, Sale and Price change!

Hey, you're still alive?! If you've decrypted this message you should know by now that we're still working hard and a massive overhaul to Dark Data has been underway with our soon-to-be released 2.0 update! Over the past year, we've made a lot of changes to the game, our team, and how we're going to be moving forward with the project, so thanks for staying patient.



[h2]2.0 Update[/h2]
2.0 has been re-imagined in almost every aspect and will be refreshing to players old or new. On our next major update post, I will break down every NEW feature along with the patch notes, but for now here's a brief summary of what to expect.

  • Updated UI, New Player Profile and MP systems
  • Controller/Keyboard & Mouse Remapping
  • Keyboard and mouse can now be used for any of the 4 players in conjunction with controllers
  • New weapons (25 total), Dual Wielding, Secondary Weapon Functions, Better FOV, and death animations
  • Redesigned existing multiplayer maps, New multiplayer maps (18 total) and Game modes
  • Updated character customization and unlockable playable creatures and guest stars!
  • A new single player campaign mode + Co-op named "Episode 0"
  • Weapon Recoil System
  • Boss Battles
  • Updated Gore and VFX systems
  • Custom Weapon Loadouts
  • Myriad of other improvements/additions




As you know, there is much much more to come and much more to be said, as this update will feel like a brand new game, so stay tuned for more news and follow our new Twitter page to keep updated!

[h2]Sale and Price Change[/h2]
During the Halloween sale, Dark Data is going to be 25% off and only $7.50! So, grab it when you can and buy all your friends our super dooper cool Retro FPS! When Dark Data 2.0 comes out, the price will be going up and become $14.99, SO now's your chance to get the game completely half off. Since 2.0's changes lean towards a sequel rather than a regular update, we thought this was the best thing to do. It will highly benefit us as we are working on making the game the best it can be!



Once again we want to thank all the players and the Retro FPS community for the continued support and care for Dark Data. We're looking forward to your thoughts and impressions on 2.0 and are really excited to hear from all of you. If you have any feedback regarding 1.0, or just want to come chill with us, please join our Discord and feel free to reach out to us on Twitter.
