LIGHT IS YOUR WEAPON

TIME IS YOUR LIFE
In LLC, your health, ammo, and stamina are all tied to a single resource: Time. That means everything from firing your weapon and taking damage, to sprinting and shining your flashlight will all deplete your time. To replenish your time you must either defeat other players, or touch the reactor found in the middle of the map. But you must act fact because time... is fleeting.
ONE OF THE FIRST GAMES TO USE UNREAL ENGINE 5
LLC is one of the first games ever developed using Unreal Engine 5 Early Access, which means it takes full advantage of Lumen, which powers the real time dynamic global illumination featured in the game, and Nanite, which enables an astounding level of detail in the geometry.
OPEN SOURCE FOR EVERYONE
LLC is completely open source, so if you want to dive headfirst into the project file and learn how we did what we did, you can do so. Regardless of if you're a big name developer or a hobbyist programmer, any and all can learn from Low Light Combat.
