  Development update for Dark Data: Zero!

  Hey homies, I know it has been a long time. I have been complete shit at marketing/keeping people updated, and I apologize for that. I've been hyper focused on developing the project, and honestly just really dislike social media in general, which is why I always procrastinate with those types of things. I know that isn't great for people interested in the project, nor the game, or myself; so with that said, I'm going to make a big effort to do better with community management/marketing etc moving forward. The reason Dark Data: Zero is its own project now instead of an update to the original Dark Data is because it no longer makes sense to "Override" via an update, with a game that is clearly its own thing. The people involved are different, the mechanics and overall systems have been overhauled. I think it is slightly odd to compare projects to other games, but in this scenario it may help understand in a more succinct way. Dark Data's inspiration was Golden Eye and Perfect Dark. Dark Data: Zero plays more like early Unreal Tournament with heavy Turok 2 and early Resident Evil influences. The vibe of being a love letter to 90's console shooters remains, but aside from retaining some DD-Universe characters, DDZ is an odd prequel to the Dark Data movie script. I know there was a time I was marketing Dark Data as having an update with single player. The scope and change of direction grew so immensely over the last 4 years, that again, it didn't make sense to go that way. With that said, ANYONE who is unwilling to buy Dark Data: Zero when it is finished, but has been interested in single player DD, and purchased Dark Data when it was $19.99 (with or without sales), then hit me up and I will send you a key. I'm not trying to fuck with anyone or be a meanie. I sincerely appreciate everyone who has been interested and giving support. If you've been lurking and periodically checking things out, definitely give Dark Data: Zero a wishlist! I will work on making more posts on...
