- Update 7/17 - New Powers! - 17 July 2015
http://i.imgur.com/3RkRE50l.jpg Greetings Illuminators! As you may have noticed, we launched a patch last week addressing various audio issues. And we have another exciting patch coming later today! This brand new patch adds in two new devastating powers, the Witch's "Arc Pulse"... http://i.giphy.com/xTiTnwD25CGArUBj32.gif And the Priest's "Judgement"! http://i.giphy.com/3o85xGEzXZRZ1aojKg.gif In our previous patch, we focused on audio tweaks throughout the game. In addition to a wide-reaching look at individual sounds, we took a deep dive into the overall audio system, and found some great opportunities for improvement! To put it simply, while we’ve seen some very nice improvements to sounds across the board, the biggest discovery has been some awesome memory savings in the way audio is handled. This memory savings directly leads to improved performance in the overall gameplay experien…

- Survived Horror Alone In The Dark: Illumination Released - 12 June 2015
Alone in the Dark: Illumination is a curious name for a game that’ll have you neither alone nor really in the dark, but strange things happen when games carry papers plucked from the corpses of fallen franchises frozen on the battlefield of the industry. The shooter named after ye olde survival horror series launched last night with class-based shooty action and support for co-op with up to four players. I suppose you are in the dark mostly, but there are lots of convenient fires and your guns do have flashlights. …

- Illumination: Let There Be Light - 2 June 2015
Of all the resources available to you in AitD: Illumination, light is the most abundant and yet the most precious. The monsters that infest Lorwich are nearly invincible in the dark, but light removes their thick carapace and leaves them vulnerable to your attacks. Fortunately, there are a number of light sources available to players throughout the game. http://i.giphy.com/3o85xIktmiaq6iB3lC.gif Each player is equipped with a flashlight that when shined on monsters will momentarily stun them, make their skin crack with blue light, and most importantly, make them partially vulnerable to gunfire. When playing cooperatively, as more players shine their lights on any one monster the effect is multiplied until the monster is left defenseless. Communication is imperative to survival, and players will benefit from focusing their fire on single enemies. http://i.giphy.com/3oEdv0TwPMW3bVYXgA.gif…
