Thank you! I might write some more when I have the time. Although I noticed some slight details were lost in translation I'm glad the redaction was decent enough. I'm still experimenting with different narration styles and formats, since I'm not very educated in literature.

still, looking forward to any future posts of yours

Hello everyone,

With the Switch launch behind us, I wanted to update you on our activities around THE LONG DARK for the remainder of this year.

NEW EVENT: ESCAPE THE DARKWALKER (October 29th - November 12th)

This year’s Halloween event, ESCAPE THE DARKWALKER, is different from what we’ve done in the past. In broad strokes:

• In an endless night, you are stalked by an invisible, malevolent entity bent on your destruction. Keep your distance from the entity for as long as you can. Once it closes in on you, you die. The only objective is to survive for as many real-time minutes as you can.
• You can’t hurt the Darkwalker, but you can slow it down. Using special spray paint Glyphs, you can temporarily dispel or attract the entity.
• You can play in any region of the world, but you can only stay in a region for 30 real-time minutes (Note: all timings are being tuned based on playtesting and may change before the event goes live) before toxic fog will appear. When the fog appears, you’ll have 5 real-time minutes to escape the region before you die. Once the fog takes hold, the region is impassible. A lot of your strategy will come down to where you travel and how far ahead you can plan your movements through the world.
• Since you can’t see the entity, you’ll have to count on what you can HEAR to stay alive. Listen for the entity’s cries, its footsteps, and how the spooky music builds as it approaches your location.

You can run but you cannot hide! Walls won’t keep the Darkwalker out. So your success depends on the route you take through the world, and how you manage your sparse GLYPH resources.

Why did we decide to switch up the traditional FOUR DAYS OF NIGHT formula?  We took on your feedback about the last few iterations of our annual Four Days of Night Halloween event. One of the consistent things we heard was a sadness around missing the timed event for various reasons, or the fact that it was hard to get all the badges without playing every single day (I mean, we *want* people playing The Long Dark every day, but sometimes life gets in the way!).

We also wanted to freshen things up this year and do something different that would perhaps embrace a bit of a stronger “horror” vibe than we normally would in the game. Halloween is a fun holiday and this gives us the opportunity to play around with ideas that might not make as much sense in core gameplay, but can provide a lot of suspenseful enjoyment for our players!

ESCAPE THE DARKWALKER runs from October 29th to November 12th. Participating in the event earns you some special unlocks, including a new Custom Mode unlock: Endless Night.

DECEMBER SURVIVAL UPDATE

We’re working on a new update to Survival mode, for a planned December release. This update will include a variety of UI improvements, some tuning changes, and two new gear items, but the highlight will be a new region: ASH CANYON. We’ll release more details as we get closer to the update, but this piece of concept art might give you some ideas.

EPISODE FOUR

The team’s been working hard on Episode Four, and as I outlined in my last developer diary, we have delayed the episode until 2021 due to COVID. Look for an update on episode progress some time in January.

HOLIDAY SHUTDOWN

Just an early reminder that the whole Hinterland team takes an extended holiday between Christmas and New Year. We’ll share the dates closer to the holiday. During this period, support and test resources will be limited, so we appreciate your patience as it will take a little longer to respond to any reports you send through the Support Portal.

We’re looking forward to seeing what you think about ESCAPE THE DARKWALKER. Get ready, and have fun with it.

New event sounds great! does fire do anything against the Darkwalker?

If it's okay to repost a picture, I would have a few to add to the thread.   Some new stuff down the road as well.

I like your aunt's painting.  🙂     Here's one I did with acrylic on canvas.  A friend did the photo processing for me.  

 

wow! amazing. I'm posting one of mine on here later, but this is so much better than mine. also reposting is ok, with credit or say that you don't know who the artist is

Oh my goodness, this is awesome! Does your aunt also play The Long Dark?

she did for a little bit, my uncle is into buying and selling games, they had it at one point and she had a couple of pilgrim saves. if she comes over we sometimes play together but not so much anymore sadly.

so I don't know if this is a thing already, (someone please link it if it is) but i think having a place where we could all share our TLD-inspired artwork would be good. I'll start (not mine, this is a painting that my aunt did for me for my birthday last year, I have posted it already) 

I tend to switch between absolutely loving 

TLD

Subnautica and Below Zero

ARK survival evolved

I also play Undertale every now and again and Just Shapes And Beats (play this one on switch) is another good one.

So I play on pc - microsoft store, and i was just wondering if I buy the time capsule on steam can I play it still? Is it even still a thing? 

At the last rope to twm summit, red energy stat. I was like ok, just stop on the ledge, it'll be fine.

It was not.

I fell, taking most of my condition, then I tripped over a rock and died of 'massive internal injuries after falling'

It was the first time I ever came that close, but i have since managed to make it all the way up.

That roar that the bears do just before they charge. Had my first encounter with an aurora bear during episode 3. Scared the hell out of me.

Saying that though, I got into a weird cave spot and it ran off.

That's been a problem for a while.  Keep going in and out of the cave and eventually it will trigger the cutscene.  Sometimes it happens your first trip, sometimes it happens your 10th.  Kind of obnoxious but meh.  It takes like a minute to force the cutscene to fire, out of what is otherwise hours of gameplay.

Thank you so much! Hopefully this works, if it does you've saved me hours

Ok so, bought The Long Dark for switch, yesterday I beat episode 1, tried to progress through the cave 

(Minor spoilers from here)

But when i went through, it didn't show the bear attack cutscene, it just transitioned into mystery lake. I've tried restarting, new playthrough, and nothing works. Anyone having the same issue / got a fix? 

Yeah that's awesome. The sky in some of the 2014 ones is amazing. 

And I thought it was only me. I'm in the EXACT same situation. I'll try what the admin suggested. My god I hope this works 

So

I need help 

I've been taking screenshots for the last 2 months ish after switching to pc (Xbox game bar seems too inconvenient, shortcut won't work) and cannot for the life of me find where they are. Looked it up and apparently they should be on my desktop. They don't save there for me. I have a tld instagram account (it's private though. No self promo from me) and I want to post some new stuff. I've been using f10 for hi res ones if that helps. Thanks for any help guys.

And here's to 5 more!
