Dark & Light and the announcement that it is being reborn for a new audience in 2016 has captured a lot of attention recently. We had the opportunity to chat with Snail Games USA Associate Producer Jonathon Stebel to learn more about a wide variety of topics including professions, PvE / PvP servers, tame-able mounts, combat and much more.

Read the full story here

    Kind of funny, they have to jump on the survival bandwagon.  Makes you wonder if anything from the original game will be kept.

    I'm thinking not.

    Still hoping it's fun, and PVE servers help assuage fears, but I do NOT want another berry collecting game.

    Try to be excellent to everyone you meet. You never know what someone else has seen or endured.

    I think the survival elements are interesting. I like the idea of hunger, fatigue, etc, affecting one's character. I'd be more stoked if there was more game play to see.
    Like Skyrim? Need more content? Try my Skyrim mod "Godfred's Tomb."

    "Dark and Light’s core gameplay is based around modern survival games"

    As I suspected, D&L is basically a survival game in an MMO environment. If this is all that is left of the original concept, I'm gonna pass.

    Of course - no gameplay is shown.

    Everything sounds awesome in every game that doesn't show any actual gameplay and hands on 3rd party reviews. Also not having to put in quests and all the content of s traditional MMO and just do a survival game - that right there cuts down the cost of development by 80%

    Gameplay has been shown. 


    Only those who seek will find.  ;)


    I do not need reviews and actual gameplay to have intrest in a game. If you do then have at it but I am super excited for this game and will be playing Day 1.

    "...it has changed from a traditional tab-targeting MMO to a more skill-based first-person survival game."

    Aaaaand I'm out.

    A simple case and wait and see.  I like survival games, but when done right.  

    I self identify as a monkey.

  • NasaNasa Member UncommonPosts: 749
    Do survival games have to be 1st person? or is 3rd person just bad idea?

    No, this sounds fishy.

    Even ESO that came from Elder Scrolls franchise could not avoided to associated traditional questing into their game.

    I don't think that's even the same game, and that isn't gameplay, that's a cinematic.
