Hello adventurers! 

Over the past few months, we have made many different improvements and innovations to Spark in the Dark. And now we want to share with you a fresh demo. New features and improvements are waiting for you. 

Dream catchers

You can find rare artifacts called Dreamcatchers in the Dungeon. Having such an artifact, your hero, in case of death, is reborn at the place of the last rest, and the stone disappears.

This will increase the survivability of the hero, and protect against accidental deaths a bit), at the same time, it will keep the game hardcore, because the number of "lives" is limited. The number of such stones in the Dungeon depends on the complexity of the game. There are 5 on initial difficulty, 3 on standard, and 1 on nightmare. 

Skill Books

In the Dungeon, you can find special rare books, reading which gives the hero a new skill / ability.

You can find books that give the ability to improve sharpening or poisoning weapons. A thief can find a book on setting up poison traps and learn how to disarm them. The number of books will increase. 

Weapon

We have made various improvements to the game related to weapons and the combat system. Added new weapons.

 Legacy weapons are better balanced, descriptions have been updated to better match the lore. Updated all weapon and shield images to better quality.

Improved weapon generation system on levels. 

For example, in each raid, a different sword may be lying in the same place (or not lying). Added "One-Handed Weapon" and "Two-Handed Weapon" skills. They are growing when using the corresponding type of weapon.

• Added the ability to poison arrows.
• Added sounds when arrows hit wood, stone, metal, monsters.
• The crossbow can be worn simultaneously with two-handed weapons.

Added new animations and abilities to the monsters.

Spiders can now effectively bite the victim, the undead can kick, and Morroch can deliver a powerful kick from which the hero will fall on his back. Improvements in the artificial intelligence of monsters. Updated some locations and environments.

New sounds

Added a set of new sounds that were previously missing :) For example, now you will hear how the lamps light up and break, how the crowbar creaks when the chest is opened, and how the hero screams when he falls into the abyss. And also, those terrible voices in the head, which the adept of the Four Towers, who stabbed himself in madness, wrote about in his diary!

Updated some windows and dialogs. When viewing equipment, a "live" character is now displayed.

A new book about Starstones has been added.

Added French translation. Bienvenue au Donjon !

Added partly support of gamepads.

A lot of improvements, fixes, improvements, balancing, including those based on your feedback.

Thank you for your feedback, we really appreciate it!

Wish you interesting adventures in the Dungeon! 💀
