Each month we run a photo competition using the in-game screenshot - you can find more in the T&C post or have a look at the entries that have already been put in.
We're celebrating the launch of the Steam Summer Sale with an awesome 25% off Dark Future: Blood Red States. So, if you have it on your wishlist and have been waiting for a discount, now is the best time to get involved!
What's in this update?
A new gang has hit the big empty and they aren't what they first seem.
Known more commonly as the Demon Engines, these vehicles are controlled by a sentient AI gone rogue.
No one knows why they have turned up, and no one knows how they gained their powers, but everyone knows they are a danger on the road.
See how you do against them in the latest update Ballyhillin (more details on our Discussions Page)
We're over on Discord
Hey everyone,
Short and sweet update from us today. A few of you are already in but in case you missed it... we have a Discord server.
Feel free to pop on over and have a natter about all things Dark Future and Auroch Digital!
Photo competition: What is it and the T&Cs
Hi everyone,
Over these last few weeks we've been so impressed with all of your screenshots from the game that we thought... why not reward these excellent images!
To that end, we've decided to host a Dark Future Photo Competition every month, with the winner taking home an awesome prize!
Below are all the details and information you:

Check out the theme for the month (posted on the News and Discussion Page)
Was it only last week that Dark Future: Blood Red States came out? We hope you guys have been having an awesome time with it and causing as much mayhem and chaos as you can!
This weeks episode is a special one though as we speak with James Swallow, one of the original writers in the Dark Future novels. The New York Times bestselling authour tells us more about his role in the books and in the game itself.
Eagle-eyed fans might have spotted the Developers Archive that has appeared as DLC on the Dark Future page! This is a chance for you to see the many iterations the game went through since it was announced in 2014.
If you are also a fan of the Dark Future board game it includes a free PDF of the original rules and expansion White Line Fever
Want to rock out to the sounds of Dark Future? Well, you can get the whole soundtrack, composed and produced by the excellent Matthew Walker, now on Steam!
It's finally here, Dark Future: Blood Red States is now live!
We wanted to say a massive thank you to everyone who has followed us since the beginning, those who are joining us new and for all those about to buy and play the game in the (Dark) future.
A massive thank you from all of us here at Auroch Digital and we'll see you all in the big empty!
