Remember that Chinese indie game that looked like Dark Souls crossed with Titanfall? The one developed by one guy, who admitted that he used graphical assets from pirated software sites?
The game is Bright Memory Ep1, and it finally replaced the previously unlicensed assets with new ones.
So instead of fighting a pack of humongous, demented dire wolves... we ran into a pack of sleepy lion chimeras in the updated version. The game simply doesn't look as good anymore.

A quick refresher: Bright Memory Ep1 is an FPS title, where you fight as a soldier with exoskeleton trying to gun down monsters and super soldiers. Besides shooting with guns, you also wield a blade. And there are skills to upgrade like freezing time and EMP blasts to aid you in combat.

This indie title left many gamers with a great impression because it looks cool and it’s fun to play. Also, the game is said to be developed by just one person: Zeng “FYQD” Xiancheng. It ended up making quite a bit of money on Steam, reportedly selling more than 192,000 copies.
