Hi Dark Hunters,

Welcome to our very first update for Dark Light: Survivor!

We’re super excited to finally share what we’ve been working on.
As a small indie team, this game is a labor of love, and we can’t wait to bring you along on this journey. Here’s a sneak peek at what’s happening behind the scenes:

On the programming and animation side, we’ve been busy getting things just right. We’ve recently completed some cool new animations and added a brand-new melee weapon. To make it all feel smooth and satisfying, we’ve spent time tweaking the animations to ensure the gameplay looks polished.

Our current focus is on enhancing the weapon system, especially for ranged weapons.
We’re introducing deep customization, so you’ll be able to swap out attachments like handgrips, scopes, handles, ammo, and lasers. Depending on the weapon’s grade, there will be 4-8 interchangeable parts, allowing you to build a setup that fits your style.

You might notice that the game has a pixelated look. This is something we’ve designed intentionally to give it that nostalgic old-school gaming vibe we love so much. But if you prefer something different, no worries! We’ve included the option to switch seamlessly between cinematic mode and pixel mode whenever you like—so you get the best of both worlds.

On the art and design front, we’ve been working on maps that immerse you in the game’s multiverse setting. The first new map we’re unveiling is the Void Supermarket, a haunting interior map with plenty of atmosphere. We’re also starting on a snow tundra base map set in a post-apocalyptic world. If you have ideas for new maps or environments you’d like to see, let us know in the comments—we’re always open to inspiration from our community!

We’re also diving into armor and helmet designs. These designs reflect the multiverse theme, blending different eras and styles into unique character looks. Imagine a hero in medieval armor mixed with WWII elements, or a futuristic knight carrying both ancient swords and high-tech gadgets. The enemies will be just as diverse, ranging from cyber-gargoyles to tech-enhanced knights. This mix of past and future will make gameplay fresh and unpredictable, with each realm offering new challenges to overcome.
