Post news Report RSS Darkness 1.4 Released!

Now with breeder nudge, spider glow, teleporter climbing, and several important bug fixes...

Posted by on

Darkness 1.4 brings some important features from the original Gloom:

  • Spider glow--only visible to the player using it, useful for navigating very dark places
  • Engineers can spawn teleporters in walls and climb on them
  • Breeders can "nudge" (push) obstacles and spikers by running into them holding the USE key

Darkness 1.4 also fixed some important bugs:

  • End-game criteria fixed so that destroying all teleporters/humans actually ends the map
  • Mine lasers fixed
  • Stalker spike damage reduced
  • Mech plasma damage reduced
  • Healer rate decreased
  • Stacked entities will fall to the ground as expected, rather than floating in the air
  • Help Hint HUD size increased
  • Hatchy/Kami grapple speed increased
  • Mech plasma/burn sound removed due to sound looping problem

With these bugs out of the way, expect more maps and models in the next release: The old Gloom community is still thriving, and I've found mappers and modelers to help out with Darkness!

Windows users can grab the installer here: Moddb.com
Linux users can use this one: Moddb.com

Happy hunting!
