What is Amnesia: The Dark Descent
It's our upcoming, brand new, powered by from the ground re-built game engine, survival horror game.

You can read a bit about it at http://www.amnesiagame.com and you can follow the progress of the development in the blog, http://frictionalgames.blogspot.com.

Previously Amnesia had the work title Lux Tenebras/Unknown.

RE: What is Unknown/Lux Tenebras
Not decided, its very early.

But currently it runs well on my old 2Ghz single core Athlon with an as old AGP GeForce 6800. Of course levels are not final size, does not have all the content or details yet, but it won't be a problem to run the game on this computer by the time of release.

RE: What is Unknown/Lux Tenebras
SSAO, soft shadows, better lighting are the only ones we know of.

What about texture maps? Most likely Diffuse+Bump+Spec, but any others? Deformation?

Any new effects with particles? Better collision for particles? Perhaps soft smoke?
Light rays (only in dusty areas)?

RE: What is Unknown/Lux Tenebras
