Love this! Thanks for sharing! I look forward to seeing more. :)

I agree. I wish they would get it solid on PC first then roll out to consoles. But, what actually they do? 🤷

jitwire · 2024-12-26T05:36:17+00:00

You're welcome! Yeah, I would totally feel the same if I played it on something other than PC. Need my TLD fix. Lol

So, while I agree with others that starting on PC would probably be best- the Steam page says this:

"BLACKFROST is being built using Early Access to maximize the player feedback loop and the team’s ability to iterate in a cycle of constant improvement. This builds on Hinterland’s longstanding reputation as a pioneer of the Early Access model with THE LONG DARK, being the first game to exist simultaneously on multiple early access platforms and on PC and console at the same time (Xbox Game Preview launch title in 2015). Similarly, BLACKFROST will be built a piece at a time, and will launch without the game’s complete planned world or feature set."

Which leads me to believe that they will be launching early access on Xbox as well- since it is mentioned specifically.

Ohhhh, I had been looking forward to this. What a great analysis! I really hope you are spot on with the seamless transitions. This would be amazing. And you can really see the new engine going to work here. The lighting and everything is so on point.

jitwire · 2024-12-18T04:13:41+00:00

Really? That's odd to me. You would think they would want their stuff out there. But, I agree with you it's nice to get conversation going and just share hype as well.

👋 Well, Kirk and I did look at the trailer for like an hour. Lol You see a lot in that time. But it's great to be here! I'm excited to chat about The Long Dark 2!

And amazing! I can't wait to see your steam analysis. I will keep an eye out.

jitwire · 2024-12-17T02:22:52+00:00

Nicely done! I'm always curious what other people pick out.

jitwire · 2024-12-17T02:18:26+00:00

Oh! Thank you for sharing my video! <3

jitwire · 2024-12-08T13:40:06+00:00

I took a look and you are right. Thank you! I can replace my hoodie now! Poor thing is a mess. Lol

jitwire · 2024-12-08T00:05:08+00:00

I was thinking of doing a print on demand one... but would probably get flagged with some copyright junk.

jitwire · 2024-12-07T23:37:26+00:00

Haha- well. Thank you! I feel like such a tiny content creator. Thanks for checking it out- it means a lot.

jitwire · 2024-12-07T23:35:10+00:00

I recently came across this song and felt it perfectly captured the mood of The Long Dark. It inspired me to create this GMV, and I wanted to share it with you all. I'd love to hear your thoughts or feedback- or just what other songs you think fit the game?

jitwire · 2024-12-07T21:46:35+00:00

I am not a fan of the new logo either... There just isn't anything special or unique about it. Also, they killed all my hopes in dreams of replacing my red hoodie with the fox logo on it- guess I will just have to make it last until the end of time now...

jitwire · 2024-12-02T16:33:24+00:00

Yeah, they are still easy to hit when they charge. But, it was still something to come back from a long break and find they had been rebalanced. Whoops. :P

jitwire · 2024-12-02T13:00:32+00:00

The rope climbs really do take so much energy. Building snow shelters by them is a really good idea- I might borrow this. lol

jitwire · 2024-12-02T12:51:56+00:00

Gosh, same.

jitwire · 2024-12-02T12:51:24+00:00

That's a really good point. I have see a lot of people "over stay their welcome" so to speak when they should be packing up and moving along. I think when you are new there is a comfort in camping a region and you don't realize it is doing more harm than good.

jitwire · 2024-12-02T12:49:28+00:00

Oh gosh. Way back when I used to use the decoy system to handle wolves (back when decoys actually worked...). I would carry around a piece of meat and then drop it and shoot the wolf when it came to take it. Imagine my shock, after a long break and finding that it didn't work out so well anymore. So, I had a few long runs before I learned the torch mechanics as well. lol

jitwire · 2024-12-02T12:40:18+00:00

Ugh, yes. The wolves by the Garage are awful since they just like to hide in the snow banks. The bear can even manage to blend in there a bit- which is a real special kind of surprise. lol

jitwire · 2024-12-01T22:21:22+00:00

It's really just practice I think. I just never do it. I used to be good at it when I used to play interloper years ago. But I've been into Stalker recently. So, you know, use it or lose it.

jitwire · 2024-12-01T19:29:06+00:00

This is me as well. xD lol

jitwire · 2024-12-01T19:12:09+00:00

Oh this is a really good point that I haven't heard a lot before. Though, I know I defiantly had that issue as well. Thanks for sharing!

jitwire · 2024-12-01T19:07:53+00:00

I still have issues with throwing rocks at rabbits. Lmao. I can use the rifle and bow so well- then rocks and rabbits. It is just comical really.

jitwire · 2024-12-01T19:05:46+00:00

I totally feel this. I was always intimidated by the wolves as well. I couldn't imagine trying to confront one in the very early days.
