Game update13 May 2019Quick Patch: It's Just Minor Stuff ReallyBut we thought we'd let you know anyway. We've got a new build going up in a few moments and it'll do the following: - Rework templates for further optimisation. - Speculative fix for scarecrow not appearing. - Tweaked ending to be smoother and have a menu return interaction. And yes, we're aware that the performance is a bit odd for some people. I think it's going to be older shaders not being…
Hello there! May 2019! A futuristic month. Things have calmed down a bit at BR Towers (ie the kitchen offices spaces that we work in) and we've got busy. As we mentioned in the last report, Tom and Jim have had a fairly tough year so far, which is why this update has taken us a little while. Again, apologies for that, it couldn't be helped. Real life, it turns out, is full of random encounters.…
Hello! Apologies for the general silence over here (psst, follow us on Twitter for more regular blithering from HQ.) The awkward truth is though that Tom and Jim have been buried beneath slabs of real life problems since Christmas, which has made things a bit slow going in Game Making Land. Not really an excuse, but it is the reason! So apologies, and hopefully we'll soon be past that. Anyway,…
Having already unleashed a new horror upon you earlier this week, we have updated again with the opening of the fifth gate within the bunker. IMPORTANT NOTE: this represents a sort of opening up of options at this point, as there is no further light type to unlock. We are essentially giving you two levels after the Dissolve unlock to explore, one of which is much more dangerous than the other.…
Brr! It's a quick and minor update, but it means a new enemy is stalking us across the gloomy spaces of The Light Keeps Us Safe, and it's one that is initially invisible and (almost) unstoppable! We're certain you'll figure out some ways to take him on, of course... This chap has been seeded through a bunch of the later environments, so he should appear in both new and old games, but the best w…
Hello! And here we are again with an update for The Light Keeps Us Safe. It's live! We've mostly been trying to make things harder on you for this update. We have a new and more terrifying robot drone patrolling our achingly atmospheric landscapes, as well as new environmental hazards which will require creative uses of the various light types to navigate safely... We also have the Psychic Atta…
BEHOLD: Light has been updated! A new exit out of the bunker has appeared! And it leads to a place where that freshly unlocked DISSOLVER BEAM is going to come in pretty useful for, well, staying alive and stuff. This update includes: · A new and horrible "moorlands" biome, with two new, weirdo compound areas! · The Dissolve light and delicious dissolvable barriers within the world! · Revised li…
Just letting you know another quick update coming in now. It's mostly fixes and Quality Of Life stuff. Like so: · Bunker entrance lights enbrightened. · Portal mote count increased. (More required per light. And no, you can't turn the machine on yet anyway, sorry!) · Misc minor bug fixes. · Movement tweaks to help prevent sticking to things, and improve crouch/run handling. · Hopeful death of t…
Hello! Still no fix for the crazy ladder thing (it's something to do with multiple colliders!) but we have some other fixes in a patch that's going up right now: · Speculative fixes for alt-tab issues · Upgrading the flashlight recharges it · Game autosaves when recharging the light · Tweaked player controls when trying to run/jump while crouched · Fixed axis inversion not saving with control s…
Hello! With just a couple of days to go before you can get your handsome hands on our grim and spooky new game , we thought we'd share with you our roadmap, illuminating (so to speak) the potential ideas that are going to fire up this game in the coming weeks. This is our second time around in Early Access, and after the huge success of Sir, You Are Being Hunted we want to try to again make thi…
