Developer Mirari & Co. announced the science-fiction action platformer Dark Light for Windows PC via Steam Early Access on May 8 and later for the Nintendo Switch when the game leaves Steam Early Access. 

Mirari & Co. is looking to release the game within one year of the Steam Early Access release, however, it depends "on how we are taking players suggestions and advice to shaping the game."

View the latest trailer of the game below:

Here is an overview of the game:

Dark Light is a science-fiction action-platformer with unique gameplay. Explore an apocalyptic cyberpunk world full of supernatural beings. Encounter and defeat creatures of darkness invisible to the naked eye, detected only with the light source from your drone. Experience the horror and feel their presence as they surround you.

As a Dark Hunter you were dropped into a wreaked world. To survive, you need to equip yourself, fight your way through, and collect ‘shards’ from killing supernatural creatures to reinforce your energy. Through survival, you will explore the mysterious dark zones of the apocalypse world.

Key Features:

• Cinematic quality graphic, detailed characters and environment design, and vivid animation with lush visual effect.
• A variety of range, melee, and throwable weapons; unique items; and multiple ways to upgrade weapons, special equipment, and the player to shape your own character skills.
• Non-linear map structure for you to choose your own path to explore the dark zones. Encounter horrifying supernatural enemies, fearsome bosses, and friendly NPCs, and fight with invisible creatures that can only be seen in a special light source.
• Detect invisible enemies and reveal hidden paths with the special light source from your drone.

Publisher Playism and developer FYQD-Studio announced Bright Memory: Infinite will launch for Xbox Series X alongside the previously announced PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Windows PC versions.

View the Xbox Series X trailer below:

Here is an overview of the game:

A Rich Sci-fi Story

Bright Memory: Infinite is set in a sprawling, futuristic metropolis in the year 2036.

The player will take on the role of Shelia, a member of the Supernatural Science Research Organization (SRO), an organization in possession of more advanced science and technology than even the military. Bright Memory: Infinite is full of breathtaking fun and exciting action, such as navigating a spaceship that can travel through time, battling ancient samurai displaced from 1000 years ago to the present, and exploring a wormhole that has appeared on Earth.

High-Speed 3D Combat

By now I’m sure everyone has seen Bright Memory: Infinite‘s appearance on Inside Xbox. In addition to the deep and rich story, another main feature of the game is its adrenaline-pumping gameplay design. With the way I’ve designed the battle system, players can experience lightning-fast combat using a variety of skills to create their own personalized style of fighting. Basically, any skills can be combined and will generate different effects when utilized and it’s up to the player to figure out how to best use these skills both in and out of battle. Some skills can be used to overcome certain obstacles or solve certain puzzles, be it in combat or while exploring the futuristic world.

Stunning Visual Effects

The quality of the graphics of Bright Memory: Infinite for the Xbox Series X is the aspect I focused most on throughout the game’s development, in order to truly harness and show off the abilities of the next-gen system. This can particularly be seen in the wormholes appearing in the game. I’ve also made use of the dramatic visual effects made possible by the Xbox Series X, which can be seen in dynamic scenes in which wind, rain, leaves, and pebbles are visibly sucked toward a wormhole as the player explores their surroundings. These stunning visual effects are all possible thanks to DirectX Raytracing (DXR) on the Xbox Series X.

City of Windsor payouts on personal injury and property damage claims totaled $2.1 million in 2019, the lowest number in eight years.

Martha Wells's action-packed novel Network Effect puts you inside the head of a Murderbot. It raises fascinating questions you will think about for a long time, says Sally Adee

Why? Because that’s our reality here in the year 2020.

Adele posted a message to her social media channels this week thanking those on the front lines fighting COVID-19. In the process, the celebrated singer unveiled a thinner frame—and the internet had a lot of thoughts about it, almost all trash.

Enter Bill Maher, noted #MeToo skeptic, with perhaps the most garbage take of them all.

On Friday night, during the interview portion of his HBO show Real Time, the comedian began by placing the bulk of the blame for the high amount of COVID-19 deaths in the U.S. compared to other countries on America’s obesity problem—not, say, the fact that the Trump administration didn’t do a single thing during the month of February to contain the spread of the virus.

“HOLY MOTHER OF GOD.” 

That’s how epidemiologist Eric Feigl-Ding began a since-deleted 14-tweet thread on Jan. 25 warning about the “thermonuclear pandemic level bad” infectiousness of the coronavirus that broke out in Wuhan, China.

The first confirmed U.S. case had been announced by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) days earlier outside Seattle. But the disease was not widely understood to be a potentially nightmarish pandemic. Many infectious disease experts had been ignored despite warning for years that the U.S. was not prepared for a seemingly inevitable health crisis. Feigl-Ding, a visiting scientist at Harvard’s Department of Nutrition, wanted to help ensure their message was heard.

These are the vent dragons made and sold by artist David Lee Pancake. The dragons are available in a variety of dragony colors, cost $200 apiece, and are made to be hung on the wall, NOT cover an actual air vent. "But--" Hey, if you want to be hot all summer because the A/C isn't blowing in the living room, that's up to you.

Vent Dragons comes with a little remote control to light up the eyes of the two little monsters and surprise your guests and friends. The lights are powered by 3 AA batteries and should burn for 150 hours before you need to replace them. To replace the batteries unscrew the grate and lift off, the batteries are in a small pack inside. The lighted eyes have 8 different settings from fast blinking to continually glowing and there is a timer to turn them off in 6 hours. Enjoy! Size: 12x7 inches. Do NOT install in an actual heating/AC vent.

In there's no way Vader signed off on this news, this is the 'Nino Star Products Pool Float Black Outdoor' available from Amazon. It costs around $25, kinda looks like a Darth Vader a kid drew, and I can't imagine Darth doesn't wish they all melted in the destruction of the first Death Star. "What am I, a joke to you?!" I imagine him demanding as he Force-chokes the commander who signed off on using his likeness for a cartoony pool float as the other who signed off on the line of upcoming Vader sex toys casually backs out of the room intending to catch the first dropship to Tatooine. Keep going for one more shot of Vader at his most humiliated.
