A dated, attributed record of the audio, animation and presentation work in Beautiful Light DEV UPDATE #7.
Matavatar published DEV UPDATE #7 on the official Beautiful Light Steam News channel on 2025-09-15. Its stated reporting window was work carried out between May 2025 and September 2025.
The update described an in-house audio system supporting verticality and dynamic reverberation based on room size and material, with a custom MetaSound node imitating sound passing through floors. It also mentioned a newly recruited creature sound-effects designer.
The post reported that placeholder third-person animations had been replaced. It explicitly clarified that the game was not third-person: these were the animations other players see. It named F2000 animations, AS-VAL clips and a revive-syringe animation, then a Big Boy PvE anomaly model and character-customization footage.
These details belong to the written announcement. The accompanying video has not been independently reviewed for this page, and no current availability or further gameplay detail is inferred.
