Postmortem Update
This update serves as the formal closure of future development to Lightless. The game will be salvaged for assets and repurposed into a similarly themed title coming soon!
Ultimately, the game made for a great prototype horror game, but I will be ceasing further development of this title for two big reasons:
- The concept largely didn't stick based on feedback, and the overall gameplay loop wasn't conducive to what I intended. Basically, the game was a lot better in theory, but did not succeed in practice.
- Backend wise, let's just say the codebase was not created with an "expansion friendly" framework. The first level is held together pretty tight, but frankly with very fragile systems. The game would require a full system rework to continue anyways.
Thanks to all my early testers and everyone who gave it a chance. Hope you stick around for the next, hopefully, better title!
