Even when on break, we've still got a few people around to make sure players are looked after. We love you guys too much to disappear entirely!

The Long Dark Original Soundtrack Now Available
Mel Guille replied to Admin's topic in News Archives
There's no physical media copies of the game or soundtrack at this time, but it's something we've talked about and would like to look into in the future if we can. Thank you everyone who mentioned it, it's helpful to know that we have community members who are interested! -

Hi @JAFO, are you not able to upload your images directly to these forums? There should be an option to do so at the bottom of the post box by the paperclip icon [Drag files here to attach, or choose files... ] Are you getting an error message? -
Update! Raph has let everyone know that we're aiming to have The Long Dark released tomorrow morning around 8:00 AM , Pacific Standard Time.

Your most serious survival experience?
Mel Guille replied to mattyboi's topic in Survival & Outdoor Activities
Welcome to the forums. @AndroidNacho! Did you give your discovery a name, or to this day is it simply "Unnamed Pond"? -
As you travel, try to check your clothing from time. Snowy weather or falling through the ice can make your clothing wet, making it less effective. Wet clothing can even freeze, putting you at risk of frostbite and hindering your movement -- you can't sprint while wearing frozen pants!

Another tip! Be careful about letting your supplies spoil -- food poisoning can be serious. Try to store perishable foods like meat outside where it's cold and packaged food indoors to keep them in good condition longer. @CarbonPretty much! The Long Dark can be a deceptively complex game and the learning curve for new players can be a little steep. As in real life, what better way to learn to survive in the unforgiving wilderness than to learn from an experienced guide? And everyone likes a good picture.

Let's help our freshly-stranded survivors get off to a good start! What's your best piece of advice for a new player? What is something you learned that made the difference between life and death in your game? Here's a basic one to get us started: Fires not only provide warmth, but allow you to collect and purify drinking water. If you're low on liquids, be sure to melt some snow next time you light one.

Oof, pretty brutal to fade into The Long Dark so close to shelter! Makes for a really spooky final image though. -
We do! However our Russian is not very good -- sorry. We are practiced at using translation applications. If you have ideas on how we make make these forums better for players who speak lanugages other than English, please let us know!

What song reminds you of The Long Dark?
Mel Guille replied to Docterrok's topic in General Discussion
That song would make for some pretty intense climbing, @RossBondReturns Looks like there's a regional restriction that prevents me from watching the video you posted, @Docterrok. Is it the same song you used in your mashup video? -
Could be fun. Were you thinking of an embroidered fabric patches that could be sewn onto bags or clothing?

Ben ik de enige die zich stoort aan de NL vertaling?
Mel Guille replied to TWM's topic in Nederlands
Thanks for the feedback, we are interested in any way we can improve our translation quality. If you see cases where the Dutch translation of the game can be improved, we'd appreciate it if you could add them to our Public Bug Database, here: https://hinterlandgames.atlassian.net/projects/TLDP/issues/TLDP-958?filter=allopenissues -

Thanks @Shane Retter, and nice shots. I particularly like your second one -- being able to see more of the grass looking down the slope helps add depth and draws the eye through the image. -

Write a Long Dark Haiku
Mel Guille replied to Mel Guille's topic in Fan Creations! Art, Fiction, Music, Etc.
Hold down the Shift key while you press Enter and you get line break without starting a new paragraph. -
Hey survivors, I thought I'd experiment with a little game-inspired haiku. Not exactly a born-poet here -- why not keep me company and add your own? The crunching of snow Soft solitude falls in flakes I breath a tired sigh or Find a frozen corpse With both delight and despair Moldy candy bar

Great shots, @Wicked. Also those border effects are a nice touch.
