Dark And Light

NPCube has confirmed the delay rumors for his MMORPG, Dark and Light. The new official release date will be November 2005. Here you have the press release:

NPCUBE, developer of the MMORPG Dark and Light, and publisher Farlan Entertainment, jointly announce today that the release date for Dark and Light has been set to November 2005.

César Jacquet, CEO of NPCube, says: "The development team has been reorganized and reinforced in order to strengthen its technical experience and to rewrite the elements of the game engine that were too slow and lacked the flexibility required for DnL expectations. The game has to be able to permanently evolve along with its community".

Frédéric Caille, CEO of Farlan, adds: "This important task allows us to set the release date to November 2005, and to open DnL gates for 2500 new beta testers".

This new reorganization of the production team allowed us to hire new artists, in order to propose you a varied and enriched vision of the world of Ganareth. Among the 12 playable races of DnL, you will be able to play charismatic characters with distinctive facial traits. Role-players will appreciate this!

Thanks to the new additions to the development team, a new dynamic management system has been made possible, to manage the items players drop on the floor. Each avatar can create its own habitat, with the help of its community (houses, production and exploitation units, etc.)

These new technical capacities, that are necessary for the coherence of the unique world of DnL, are so many assets that answer the community’s expectations. Everyone can experience things for real, build one’s universe, win true victories and share them with everyone.

The teamwork between Farlan and NPCube allowed them to rely on the extraordinary freedom of movement brought by "Mafate" engine, in order to provide players with a wide array of gameplay options. In particular, we chose to put the stress on the simplicity and efficiency of traveling in such a wide universe.

We also focused on a user-friendly interface in order to create a better learning curve and a better immersion in the world of Ganareth.

Keeping in mind the discussion of our choices with our community, we are happy to be able to satisfy the expectations of 2500 additional beta testers, while preparing the upcoming massive stress tests.
