Update 0.16 Released!

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

This update aims at bringing to Northern Lights some of the upgraded backend systems that we've been working on for the past months for our next project, as well as to upgrade the game to a newer engine version in hope of solving some game and graphics stability issues!

  • Input System rewritten from ground up
    --- We have developed a new Input System to be used across our projects. While not much has changed on the surface yet, this will allow us to further expand on game mechanics and how the control scheme works in the future. Some of the future features we plan on adding include: support for rebinding on controllers, use of "hold" and "tap" input actions where fitting, improved controls settings, full controller support (including menus) and more! Stay tuned!
  • Localization System rewritten from ground up
    --- We have also developed a new Localization System to be used across our projects. The key improvements of the system are improvements of performance when switching languages, as well as better text formatting support, which we will make use of as we continue developing the game further!
  • Upgraded the game to a newer game engine version (previously Unity 2019, now Unity 2022)
  • Improved DX12 stability
  • Added option to enable a dark background on subtitles, making them easier to read with snow on screen.
  • Fixed Gulag Location not initializing correctly (no loot, interactions not working)

Once again, thank you for supporting us in our endeavors! We're excited to share more updates with you soon. Stay tuned!
