And finally, we’ve added a Cabin Fever affliction, to keep things interesting for our Hibernators.
We’ve added a “Pass Time” mechanic to the Rest interface, which allows you to advance the clock, without gaining the calorie-reducing and healing benefits of Rest. You can now only Rest when you are tired, or have an affliction that requires it. And “Hopeless Rescue”, where you have to get from the Trapper’s Cabin, to the top of Timberwolf Mountain, and then over to fire a signal flare from the Lighthouse in Desolation Point, within seven days! We’re excited to see how you find these experiences. To start with, we’re launching “Hunted, Part One”, where you have to escape a murderous bear stalking you from Pleasant Valley to Mystery Lake, with only the Distress Pistol for protection. These challenges add objective-based gameplay to the core Sandbox experience. We’ve added Challenge Modes to the Sandbox.
Overall we think this improves the player experience by keeping the gameplay flow uninterrupted. The new Streamlined Status screen lets you quickly check on your Condition, Calories, and other important survival information without needing to refer to a separate screen that pulls you out of the game world. The Radial has also made it possible to add a subset of basic craftables made directly from the menu, rather than requiring the use of a Workbench to make simple items like Torches, Bandages, Tinder Plugs, etc. The new Radial Menu replaces the previous Actions Panel and puts all the player’s major gameplay actions within one or two clicks or button-presses. To support our goals of deep immersion and informed decision-making, we have completely overhauled our user interface. We’ve just updated The Long Dark Sandbox to v.321, which we’re calling “Tireless Menace”.
One will eventually show up in the nearby area. ©If you spot a tree with its bark rubbed off, that’s a Moose spawn point.
