Gloomwood’s research update transforms it from Thief with guns into Dishonored with mutations, letting you inject dissected monster juice into yourself to gain their powers

Players speculate that the protagonist of Gloomwood may be named 'Jekyll' following the recent Research update. This update introduces a new laboratory setting where players can synthesize a cure for a plague and conduct ethically ambiguous research to create serums that allow transformation into monstrous forms. These serums enable players to blend in with hostile creatures for stealth advantages. The update expands gameplay possibilities, moving away from the initial concept of a 'Thief with guns' towards abilities reminiscent of those in Dishonored, though the abilities are one-time-use rather than permanent. The doctor's journal has been enhanced with new artwork, soundscapes, and animations. Players will access the research mechanics upon reaching the game's mirror realm, with future updates expected to roll out in the summer months.

Jared Hess Is Still a Sundance Guy: Why the Smash Hit ‘Minecraft Movie’ Feels a Little Like an Indie Film

Jared Hess, director of “A Minecraft Movie,” admires Robert Eggers’ reinterpretation of “Nosferatu” for its distinct personality and unexpected storytelling elements. Hess gained recognition with “Napoleon Dynamite” at the 2004 Sundance Film Festival, which became successful through word-of-mouth. “A Minecraft Movie” has earned over million at the box office after three weekends, significantly surpassing “Napoleon Dynamite's” total earnings. Hess's children served as unofficial consultants during the film's development, contributing to its personal touch. Adapting “Minecraft” posed challenges due to its lack of a traditional narrative, but it also allowed for creative freedom, particularly with the character of Steve. The film was primarily shot in Auckland, New Zealand, and Hess emphasized collaboration with game developers to balance fidelity to the source material with innovative storytelling. Despite mixed critical reception, Hess maintains his comedic style focused on character and story, and he hopes for broader opportunities in Hollywood.
