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
• Japanese
• Korean
• Turkish
• Portugese
• 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 14 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
