Many former Runescape devs broke away to form PlayFusion - a company whose first game is actually several projects: a mobile ARPG, a card game, a comic book, a toy line, and more. PlayFusion recently hit up Kickstarter for a mere $200,000 of additional funding, and we spoke with the team about Lightseekers and how it aims to do what many products cannot.

Ergo, today we’re offering up five things we want from Dark and Light. These are just five of our many hopes, so feel free to weigh in with your own.
