[@kazomazo6646]

I bought The long dark while ago, I updated it today, I lunched the game it opened as build #2.25 126227S then when I choose to play Wintermute it take me to my desktop and then reload an older game version and get me in to the staring screen with #2.08 125148S ?! Why is that exactly? Is this normal? So that means the newest features in the survival mode will not be available in Wintermute?

[@solaire773]

I honestly have the utmost respect for you and the team at hinterland , you all are amazing developers and you actually listen to your fans as to what we wanna see added and then you go even further and add things we never dreamed of such as the flasks Hope you all have an amazing holiday when you go and that you all remain in good health the remainder of your days

[@scottbourret1190]

The aesthetics of this game are still some of the best I've seen. Love to see the continued development of the story, and enhancements. In time I'd love to see you figure out how to make seasonal transitions happen, and come up with a totally new story/ location that carries forward the aesthetic of the game.

[@allthings1022]

same bro. I have always wondered what a long dark style game would look like in southern Canada where it is significantly warmer.

[@Sgt_Turkigreyvi]

I liked the idea of the Grand Canyon or death valley as a long dark game. The color palette would shift from gray white and blue to orange yellow red and brown as well as having to worry about hot temperatures. With the painting like art style I think it would be a cool concept.

[@TheDarkWizard666]

Oh yeah, yeah yeah

[@JavaJack97]

I've been playing since the first year of early access and I just wanna say that you guys are incredible. TLD is probably my favorite survival experience to date, and you guys still put so much work into it after all this time. Enjoy a well deserved holiday break!

[@KamleshMallick]

Wow. I’m the opposite! Purchased last week. Now that the update is out trying it out soon! Insulated Flask! Cool!

[@slushisimcambi2521]

I think I am also most excited for the hand/arm coverings. Seems like a weird thing, but it really will be a big step in immersing myself in the game. Long Dark does gameplay immersion better than almost any other game I play, and know the visuals are further supporting that. Looking greatly forward to this update, as well as safehouse customization in the future updates.

[@salvadoresouza8917]

I saw a candle by the flasks and got SO EXCITED! But didn’t hear anything about them.. I’m sure it was a mod. Please, please bring candles to the game! Either way, this all looks amazing. Thank you all for building such a beautiful and thoughtful game- one I haven’t gotten tired of playing for years.

[@usurperstears]

glad i'm not the only one who wants candles in the game. i doubt it will happen, but it would definitely be cool

[@Ventus9666]

​@usurperstears Yeah, being able to use those as a lighting substitute would be nice. Maybe animal tallow candles? It would be good for lighting a dark safehouse. Plus, a match being used to light it really won't leave a dent in your survival capabilities. Maybe they could add certain types of candles that give minor buffs as well for harder difficulty games.

[@usurperstears]

@@Ventus9666 animal tallow would definitely be cool, I’d settle for just premade store candles to be found in places. Hell, I’d even be happy if they just made the actual fires you light indoors throw more light

[@Ventus9666]

@usurperstears True lol, the fires don't cast much light even with the bigger stoves. Maybe a mix of both types of candles honestly, I just kinda figured that tallow candles could be a bit more sustainable in the long term or on greater difficulties where resources aren't as plentiful. But that's what I love about the game, it has near infinite potential and I see it staying alive and thriving for a very long time

[@usurperstears]

@@Ventus9666 yep, excellent game. I try to talk all my friends into at least trying it haha

All the new items are great, I like the scurvy, for me it will be a very cool mechanic, but one thing I miss in the game is that there should be some more knives, it would be nice to see skinning knife or knives inspired by companies like buck or morakniv, it would give a nice variety in this essential tool in real survival.

J'aime beaucoup l'Aérodrome abandonné et je découvre avec bonheur tous les secrets de la Zone de contamination et ses nouveautés, comme les mines... à couper le souffle ! ;)) En comparaison, la mine de Blackrock devient un jeu d'enfant :)) Pour moi, The Long Dark est LE jeu, celui dont je rêvais et celui qui me fait si bien rêver.

Decisiones de las que luego te arrepientes 😅

[@ghostofwolfmoonmani3877]

For scruvy, fruit is at a premium in the Canadian wilderness, people used to collect berries in the fall and process them into jam and preserves for the winter, maybe you could add blue berries, Canadian black berries, and crow berries to the harvestable foods. Another thing to consider is Tang, A powdered drink mix popular in Alaska and the Yukon for supplemental Vitamin C.

[@tini243]

I cant wait to play this, thank you so much for your continuing efforts.

[@nOtJack1886]

Just going to say the travois is a god-send. My only annoyance with long dark was the carry weight and constant back/forth when scavenging an area, to then just be slightly under the sprint limit for the very slooooow walk back to your base. (but that's where the fun comes in) .

[@ouwle6618]

I had totally forgotten about my playthrough of this gem! I only play in the winter for the immersion. This will be a nice pickup to eventually play. I'm currently at the end of episode 3 i believe.

I'm curious why it was so hard to implement visual gloves for so many years. I am actually eager to know what caused it because I always wonder "there is no way the devs didn't add gloves on purpose that takes some immersion in the most immersive winter survival game ever".

Probably a coding bug or artefact leftover from early access.

@@madeiraislander Ikr. There is a mod and then they suddenly adding it to the base game. But they did completed much harder work before than just animated gloves. It doesn't make any sence. My only guess that this modder found some easy cheezy solution and the devs contacted him.

You can see the different stages of this game documented in the video catalogue, on subreddits and in the forum and for me the way this whole thing evolves should be the new standard in game development.
