Updating Unreal was hard

Departure Of Darkness - DEMO
A downloadable game

Recently we updated the project from Unreal 5.3 to 5.6 after all the plugins we use got thier updates.

We thought everything went smooth, all but one level survived and it in total took about a day of work to make everything work with the newest version. 

But then we found the hidden problems...

  • Navigation Meshes not building
  • Unreal not including the tools to build level lights
  • Blueprints saying they are compiled even when they aren't
  • All world texts removed
  • And other small problems

But now we've squished all of them! (hopefully)

So go play the most recent version of our game!
