Snail Games is defying the rumor that the company is not publishing Dark & Light. To show the game is very much still in progress, a very brief 24-second game play video has been released that shows off a number of environments and creatures despite its short length.

    How were we supposed to glean information on game play from that? Call me severely disappointed.

    Not even 24 seconds. The gameplay starts at 0:05 and ends at 0:17.

    Its great that Steam is requiring games to post videos of gameplay in order to sell, but there really should be quality control, like length and what's involved. Baby steps I guess. They are still learning.

    From the trailer, what do we learn beside graphics quality here?

    Sooo... after months of nagging by fans they produce... 15 seconds of actual "game play" ?

    They needn't have bothered.

    I guess the game is still so far from ready that this is all they could manage. Blink too often and you might miss it ! :D

    We learned that it's probably much further away from release than they're leading us to believe.

    Atleast the combat looks nice, now I want to know rest of the game, housing, crafting,questing, world size in action.

    Yep, a whopping 12 whole seconds. If you are this close to a steam launch and can only show 12 seconds of montage from your game, what does that say? While I am looking forward to seeing this one, I wont be buying on day one. I will let you "have to have it the first day" types take the risk and then let us know what you think.

    Hold on a sec... coming 2017 and it was set for steam early access fall of 2016... [mod edit] If they actually showed us real ingame footage it would most likely look clunky with tons of pop in assets

    Even Pantheon, Crowfall and CU showed us much more progress than this.

    Pretty sad for all the time they have been working on this trainwreck.

    If Snail Games publish this game it will go down the drain really quickly. They are going to copy/paste Age of Wushu's cash shop renting model.

    You mean go down the drain again.

    Good enough for me. Now I just want to see more information on all the features.

    Nope because Age Of Wushu still has millions of players in China. Western players may not like it but millions of Asians do.

    I don't agree with any cashshop but saying the game went down the drain is not true.

    Ah wait, outside of America there isn't a mmo gaming community lol.

    I am trying to piece together what their spokesman/employee stated and what now seems to defy their excuse.
    They said they could not due to using third party vendors.So being a little more awake right now i thought...wtf,assets made for them are THEIRS,they can do whatever they want,no third party vendor can stop them.So then i thought,what if they owe tons of third party vendors money,in essence not paying any bills or some working agreement.

    None the less,if so either way,why are they now showing a video?

    So then the statement about not wanting any lawsuits based on showing content that might not make it into game,so what gives now?

    Then there was one more ,something i couldn't make sense of ,but something to do with,if they released their individual devs work,they may never work in the industry again,so again,what gives now?

    Bottom line is that this video no matter how you dissect it,shows or proves NOTHING that there is actual gameplay.Why not have a narrator,get a few employees together ,the same way Pantheon just did?

    Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.

    nothing

    * you can swim
    * you can crouch / sneak
    * combat seems to be action oriented and based on evades
    * big ("beatiful") world and creatures


    so yea, features. no gameplay :>

    haven't been paying attention to this game.. no idea how many infos they already released, but seeing this vid i'd say they are in a quite stable alpha soonish if not already running

    and quite frankly, it is snail games, they do what they do, this won't change with new games ^^

    Looks cool to me, actually playing the game is something else entirely but I love the look and feel of the game so far, especially for early access title.
    Now Playing: Bless / Summoners War
    Looking forward to: Crowfall / Lost Ark / Black Desert Mobile

    You don't know the history of this game do you? This is its second time being released, third if you count the half game NPCube released before it came out. Snail only picked it up after the lawsuits started.
