DF Progress Update

I can say...

As of right now...

The testers finally have the FIRST build of DF to start kicking it around. It's still not done. Loot needs a LOT of work. But this is the "It boots enough to make sure zombies, POI's, quests and progression work" build. :)

Hoping for a september stable release at this rate and an august experimental release. So fingers crossed!

DF Watch Mod Change

So I was snooping through the base game C# code... and found something interesting.

I decided to change how the watch works to a method that a few folks have asked for in the past.

Hopefully it meets expectations. :)

Progress Update (18th July, 2023)

Just a simple message to give you all an update on where the mod is at. Do not take this as a "It's nearly done", more like a "it's nearly ready for the testers to find my broken shit". ;)

List of files that need to be done (as in, don't exist so far)

  • entitygroups
  • gamestages
  • spawning
  • ui_display

List of files that need to be done (started)

  • entityclasses (this first so groups, gamestages and spawning should then just drop in)...

Zombie Glow Up

So you know how we have zombies in DF that use a variety of particle effects? This is one of the replacements.

Specifically, these are the "tough" zombies that used to have the smoke around them. This is just a material tint, so should be a lot better for performance whille still remaining fairly obvious.

The plan is to do this for demons as well. :)

Release Date Question

Alright folks, i'm gonna post this in discord as well, but I want your opinions.

From what I've been told, TFP are already working on A21.1 and plan a LOT of bug fixes. Now let's be honest here...

A21.0 is a fucking shit show.

Servers can't keep up so chunk's don't render, people fall through the world, vehicles and drones are disappearing, there's the triple-crit thing going on...

So I'm thinking of waiting for A21.1 for DF release.

Thoughts?

Present Time!

One of the good things about separating out a few DF features, is I can update them to work on A21 individually and then just add them into DF once they're done.

It makes the whole process much easier.

One of the things folks wanted was the Wandeering Horde mod so you can make it happen more often, with more zombies, etc.

I just finished the initial version of that, and I thought you folks may want to play around with it. :) For some reason, it adds 4 or 5 zombies over wh...

Potential Release Update

I could've sworn I posted here about this, but I can't find anything in the history... so potential repost.

I know I posted in the discord, on twitter and mentioned it on youtube. Entirely possible I'm just fucking stupid.

ANYWAY, DF won't be properly out until A21 stable is released +1-2 months depending on amount of work needed. Based on how long it takes for TFP to release stable builds in the past, that means we're looking around August/September as an ESTIMATE.

I'm h...

A21 modlets!

Just in case some of you aren't following me on twitter or in the DF Discord...

Proposed Crafting Changes.

Ok, this is a big post. I've been thinking about some changes to the DF crafting perks for A21, since i'm going to have to re-do the progression file anyways when that drops.

Basically, you know how there's Armor, Melee, Weapon, Gun, Tool and Science crafting? Plus all the schematics and associated perks? I'm looking at redoing ALL of that.

Proposed changes as follows. Level unlocks will be 5/10/20/40/60. Perks will be unlockable by points, training at the scout and I'll also ad...

Quick Update

Right, wanted to give you all a quick update on what's going on.

Streamer apps for A21 are open on the forums now. I have access already because I did in A20, so that's nice. It means we're probably looking at May/June for experimental. DF work will start as soon as that streamer weekend is over.

I MIGHT stream it. I'll see how I feel at the time.

On that note, allergies have kicked the crap out of me the past week. So that's why i've been quiet here/in discord/on twitter...

DF, impending A21 and my plans

With A21 right around the corner, I thought I'd better give you all an update with regards to Darkness Falls.

Based on the past release, I think we're looking around July for A21 experiemental release. We just had the first dev stream and it's usually 2-3 months after that when it goes into experimental. Given that TFP love to hit their steam sales, I'm expecting around July.

Because of that, I am NOT planning any major or minor updates to DF until after A21 is out. So if folks ...

Discord Patreon Roles Update

Right, further info.

Bot reconnected and it's stopped kicking random people, so that's fixed. Yay!

Now the downside. For patreons, you HAVE to disconnect discord from here, and then reconnect it or it still won't apply the role properly.

Why? I have no idea, and I am very sorry for the inconvenience. It's since they "updated" it so it should run better.

Patreon's Bot Sucks!

So the bot that is supposed to give you guys special access in the discord server... has decided to start removing access to the server from NON Patreons.

Which is not ok.

I've disconnected it from the discord server for now. Which means if you need access, I'll have to do it manually.

It's a pain in the ass, so please message me if you need that doing. I'll look at trying to fix it properly over the weekend.

DF V4.1.2-DEV.B4 Alt Links + Patreon Update.

Heya folks. I know i've been quiet of late, and I know that I have lost patreons because of that (Yes, I get to see the exit surveys), so I wanted to talk about that a little bit.

Honestly? I've been waiting for a few things to fall into place before another mod update, and that's now done. Mostly fixes for the storage broadcast feature.

Aside from that, I've been busy with non-mod stuff. So I haven't posted on here because it's like "Yeah, i've been in the rescue, i've been hel...

Special Video I did just for fun and for a friend

I did a video for a good friend of mine. I got  StarFox 2 on a cartridge to play on my SNES, and he said he would love  to see a full playthrough of it as a birthday present.

And since we're celebrating his 50th tomorrow, I got it done tonight.

He  said sharing it is fine, so I thought I'd let you folks and the youtube members see it first. I may post it next week as a public video.
