Technical Details
The developers of Dark Scrolls, doinksoft, and publisher Devolver Digital have announced a delay in the release of their fantasy action-platformer Dark Scrolls from May 28 to June 22.
Context and Background
The reason for this delay is the upcoming release of Mina the Hollower from the creators of Shovel Knight, which the developers are eager to play. Cullen Dwyer, lead technical and gameplay designer at doinksoft, admitted that he will be too busy playing Mina the Hollower to release Dark Scrolls on time.
Industry Impact
This decision highlights the importance developers place on their free time and the opportunity to enjoy other games, even if it means delaying their own project's release. It also underscores the competition and mutual respect among game developers.
Gameplay and Features
Dark Scrolls is a fantasy action-platformer being developed for PC (Steam) and Nintendo Switch. The game features nine heroes with unique abilities, cooperative play for two players (local and online), varied gameplay, and a Russian text translation. Players will engage in combat with enemies and avoid deadly traps in procedurally generated challenges on handcrafted levels.
