The Great Darkness: Early Access

THIS PUBLIC VERSION OF THE MOD IS IN EARLY ACCESS
THIS IS AN OFFICIAL RE-UPLOAD AND AN OFFICIAL CONTINUATION OF THE MOD.

OUR DISCORD IS LIVE! JOIN US AT: https://discord.gg/N34fn57Vvp

This is a continuation of "The Great Darkness" mod, an alternate history mod taking place within a world where the Sun suddenly vanishes and most humanity succumbs to freezing temperatures. Those who escaped to the biggest cities in time will attempt to pick up the pieces of their once-thriving civilization. In a bitterly frozen world, the fires of humanity are dwindling evermore.

This is now the official "The Great Darkness" mod which was initially left abandoned. The Project Leiber team has formed to revive this mod and have taken onboard the original mod developer on our team as well (thank you Vriska for your support and enthusiasm). It is merely meant to demonstrate a proof of concept as well as to demonstrate future plans for this project. At this point, it is not meant to be a playable mod or is anywhere near completion, however updates will be frequent and a Discord server is nearly ready.

We hope that new and planned changes will help flesh out the story better and that you will come with us on this journey into an unforgiving, unrelentingly frostbitten world, a world without our mother star where humanity is at the whim of the void.
