As always, welcome to the MEATZONE!

1.0 is OUT

We’re happy to announce that Golden Light 1.0 is now officially out on Steam! It is time for us to finish this fun Early Access journey!

Over the past 1.5 years we have managed to polish the game, add a lot of weird stuff that people call content and even multiplayer and co-op modes! Without you, none of this would have been possible — thank you for being here during the development. And we wish that you'll join us for what's to come because there is much more ahead, we promise! But first things first.

Release Trailer

Now we want to show you the release trailer that we’re honestly really proud of.

Time-limited Bundles

We’re collaborating with ULTRAKILL and Cruelty Squad: we’ve arranged release bundles with both games, so players will be able to grab Golden Light with an extra 15% discount as part of these bundles.

By the way, we even have two skins from ULTRAKILL which you can use in co-op!

Supporter Pack

We’ve also prepared a Supporter Pack with a full game’s soundtrack and exclusive skins!

Release Update Details

• ULTRAKILL Hats: V1 and Gabriel hats are added for Online Co-op, completely free of charge and ready to wear from the start! Thanks to New Blood and HakitaDev for letting us do this!

  
  

• Mr. Toilet in the field lets you exchange your gold for a random weapon if you're in need of additional weaponry for your Gut expeditions.

  
  
  
  
• Full Release fixes
  

What’s Next?!

Following the week or two of full release - we'll keep an eye on all incoming feedback to see whether we need to make any rapid fixes. After that we'd like to focus on prototyping new stuff with more content for Golden Light being cooked in the background as a part of our post-release support. We have a bunch of community suggested additions that were a little bit out of our development span that we'd like to try out as post-release funsies. Keep an eye on our community hub and we're sure you'll see something new this year.

We’ll see you in the GUT!

• The Gut whispers are talking directly to you. The Gut has something to say now, it'll give advices, try to trick you or simply tell you more about what's coming at you. We believe it adds to the narrative of the game and makes the world a more complete picture without depriving you from building that picture in your head.
  
• More handcrafted rooms for various biomes.
  
• QoL: Now you can turn off headbobbing in the game's settings
  
• QoL: You can now see controls prompt about throwing or eating an item on your screen, in case you forget.
  
• The Eternal Field has directional signs now that will lead you to biome entrances. This should improve navigation in the field even further.
  
• In Love with Traps memento now additionally makes it so handtraps wait a bit more before attacking you.
  
• Many fixes that should make the game an overall more polished experience.
  

• Christmas Themed Menu. Let that festive spirit pierce your soul.
  
  
• Cinema floor: Simillar to a Bar environment you can now encounter Move Theatre floor alongside a popmeat stand with exploding popmeat and other silly things.
  
  
  
  
• 3 New Weapons: You finally can loot that Maneater guy you've just slayed and take it's freaking head! And put it on a stick! And bash folks with it! Yes, and two other minor weapons to give our old trusty knife and axe a bit more visual variety. (And possibly mechanical variety in the future)
  
  
• Polaroid camera: Is also a weapon now that you can use to temporarily paralyse enemies
  
  
• Floors variety: Starting with this update we're beginning to implement "hand-crafted" rooms into each biome to give floors a little more ZING. You can now find a bunch of new rooms in Office/Factory/Cages/Cabins (as well as randomized elevator rooms) with more to come in the nearest future.
  
  
• 2 New Mementos: They both involve your sight, the rest is mystery.
  
  
• MULTIPLE SAVE SLOTS: You're welcome. (As an important notice - multiple save slots will use a new savefile, so if you want to return your progress you need to go to your AppData/LocalLow/MrPink/Golden Light and rename glSoloSave into glSoloSave0 . That should do the trick)
  
  
• Updated Tutorial: For those who'd never figure out the "status effect override" thing. (And that's our fault, we'll behave now).
  
  
• Fixes fixes fixes
  

• New ending: This ending is available by playing through the Endless mode and completing a clear objective. (Be sure to free Val first)
  
• Nerfed endless floors
  
• On easier difficulties a Meat Mole will save you from your doom once per floor.
  
• Multiple fixes for mementos released with Halloween update.
  
• Added graphics quality settings: You can now select High, Medium and Low quality to fit the game better for your machine.
  
• Increased visibility in Factory biome.
  
• A MINI-GAME OF CHECKERS IS ADDED TO THE GAME. It will appear in loading segments after some playtime.

• Now if you get lost in the Eternal Field - Snout will teleport to you after some time.
  
• Lobotomizing an ambered memento will return you your golden amber
  
• More story elements added both to appear on the Gut floors and in loading segments
  
• Good ol' quality of life improvements: Say no more to pressing interaction button repeatedly to collect gold (default key "E"), just hold it down.
  
• Multiple Online Co-op fixes. Online Co-op is also limited to 2 players once again for obvious reasons: less players - less gamebreaking desync problems and various bugs. It very well may change once again in the future.
  
• Various minor fixes and improvements.
