Here We Go Again

Apologies for this one being late. You'll see why when the video gets started.

But here's the early access video I promised for your folks. :)

I am dumb. DF-V4-DEV-B36 access!

I have been forgetting to post my dev builds on here for folks not in the discord.

That is why I am dumb,

So here's a link to download DF-V4-DEV-B36 for folks who want it :)

V4-DEV-B36

- Updated Sphereii-Core AGAIN. (deja vu)

- Included A20.1b5 XML fixes.

- Added the efficient digestion ...

Horde Night Prep and COVID

As promised, here's the early access video. :)

Now i've got a couple of things I want to talk about.

First thing, we've had a lot of new patreons this month. Thank you all for your support! It is greatly appreciated and will be put towards equipment and software to make the whole video creation/mod creation proc...

Diggy Diggy Hole

Apologies for this video being a little late. I overslept, had to do my household chores, had to finish up Build 34 for the testers, more chores, etc... so I literally only recorded this about 2 hours ago.

But it's done! It's up! Hope you enjoy. :)

New Toys

Even with a busy week, got your early access to next weeks video done.

Enjoy folks. :)

Quest Spam

And this one is a little early to make up for last week being a little late. ;)

Here's your early access to next Fridays video! Happy new year, folks :)

The Red Text

Apologies for this being a little late. Was busy with Yule and rescue stuff.

Here's your early access to next weeks video! :) Happy holidays, folks.

And So It Begins...

I promised you guys early access to the A20 Darkness Falls testing series.

I am making good on that promise today!

The plan is for these to go live for all on Fridays. I intend to make sure you guys get these videos AT LEAST 1 week before public access.

So this specific video will go live NEXT week (chris...

DF V4 Showcase

Okay, so i've had an idea...

I can't do early access to A20 DF for you guys, because TFP don't like that. I MUST have a publically available version before I can offer a Patreon-only version. They've clapped other mods for doing this in the past, so I know it's absolutely a thing.

So what I'm  gonna do... i...

Still quietly working

Very quietly working on the mod in the background. I honestly expected A20 to be out by now.

Got a few things I need to fix up. Working on guns atm to convert them all over to the "attachments included" method TFP are using. Unfortunately the laser sight is being a pain in my butt in this regard. :D

Also got a c...

Quiet Times - DF Update

Just wanted to give a status update on DF right now.

Honestly? It's quiet. I'm prepping for A20 as i'm expecting a mid to late July drop at the moment based on the build numbers posted on twitter.

So right now i'm enlarging my plant collection, working on classes and rebuilding guns and entities to the new metho...

DF-V3.5-DEV-B4 Build!

Another update for you folks.

This just updates the dev build to work on 19.5b55. No other changes.

Also posted in Discord but cross-posting here for anyone not in there.

DF-V3.5-DEV-B3 Build!

Another update for you folks.

This just updates the dev build to work on 19.5b54. No other changes.

Also posted in Discord but cross-posting here for anyone not in there.

DF V3.5-DEV-B2 Build!

This is also posted in discord for folks in there, but wanted to make sure it was posted here as well.

Updated DF to A19.5b53 that dropped at some point while I was asleep. Here's the notes.

V3.5-DEV-B2

- Updated to A19.5b53.

- Fixed steroid side effect killing the players backpack.

- Taking an ...

DF V3.5-DEV-B1 Build!

As promised, I'm giving you folks early access to the A19.5 experimental build of Darkness Falls! This has also been posted in the discord but I figured i'd put it here for folks who may not be in there. Here's the notes and link.

V3.5-DEV-B1

- Updated to A19.5b50.

- Fixed the bug with the junk turret and s...

Patreon Goal Thingy - Update

I'm half asleep writing this cos I've been reinstalling windows on my wife's friends laptop for 3 fucking hours.

So a while back, I asked for input on setting a patreon goal. Right now, any funds are saved and used to buy assets (models/sounds) OR hardware upgrades as required. My idea was that having a defined goal wo...

DF Progress Update

So not a huge amount to report, because I'm mostly waiting for A20 at this point.

But...

I've been working with Xyth to add to his entity project. I've contributed some ranged weapon anims and a method to control them with buffs. He contributed a way for 1 model to have ALL weapons baked in, and then we control ...

Patreon Goal Thingy?

I want an opinion from all of you.

Patreon lets me set some kind of funding goal thing. I remember seeing it when I was setting everything up, but decided not to set one as I didn't have any kind of idea what I should set it to, or what I should set it FOR.

I kinda have an idea now. But since you guys are the pa...

Progress Update

Ok, so thought i'd give some info on what's going on since i'm quiet.

DF for 19.4 is basically ready to go. I'm literally just waiting for TFP to say 19.4 is now stable instead of experimental. There's a build in the donators channel on the discord for you folks if you want early access, but i'll also include a link he...

What's going on with DF...

Since things have been quiet, I thought i'd give an update on what's going on.

Someone has been giving me the A20 XML files. Because of that, I've made a copy of DF and i've been keeping it up to date to the best of my ability. No idea if it'll work or not, since I can't test, but there shouldn't be any reason why it w...

The Long Wait

Does anyone know what's going on with A19.3 going stable? Cos I sure as hell don't. :D

DF V3.3 is basically done and ready. I'll look into possibly getting it uploaded to my private gitlab instance for you folks as a thank you. I did upload an earlier version but I've fixed a few extra things and updated it to 19.3b6 s...

Incoming Christmas Nonsense!

Just a reminder that the festive season is almost upon us. I usually get fairly busy in November and December, hence why I haven't been posting much (wife's birthday, then mine, then christmas and then new year).

The reason I'm reminding you all is because Patreon will take payments on the 1st, as usual. That's this sa...

The Menu Music Returns!

Thanks to a custom version of DMT, and a patch by TomentedEmu, the Darkness Falls menu music from A16 makes a return!

Time To Experiment

Just sat here, waiting for 19.2 to go stable so I can drop the next version of DF.

So I'm experimenting with making new junk turrets. :) If I can get this one working, I may release it as a modlet since it's made from mostly free assets. (I think the SFX might not be, but particle and model are)

May also go into...

Future plans

DF seems to be mostly ok on 19.1 right now. I found one, really random bug that makes no sense, and just sorted out a workaround for that.

So now i'm trying to decide what to do next.

I want to work on the quest line, but that might be for 19.2 or A20. Haven't decided which yet.

However I HAVE bought some...

Whoops

So i've been forgetting to post here, for which I do apologise.

Took a small amount of time off DF to try and get the creative juices flowing, but with A19.1 experimental now out, I'm working on the mod already. Got it working locally and thrown a couple of builds at the testers. May not add too much new to it for 19.1...

A Small Thank You

So between the patreons and some very generous donations, I was able to purchase a new laptop for mod development purposes.

And it made a huge difference. I'm talking 5 minutes from hitting "build" in unity, to 7DTD loaded and testing my new model. That'd be about 15-20 minutes total on the old machine.

As such,...

Mod Status Update

Ok, so this is where we're at right now.

- Items done and working.

- Blocks done and working.

- Entities done and working (the ones that A19 didn't totally break).

- Quests done and working.

- Traders done and working.

- New "trader to trader" quests added (different from TFPs).

- Eve...

Estimated Release Date

Ok, so today, Madmole posted on the forums and said that A19 should be done by 15th August.

There's currently some speculation on if that means experimental will be done, or just... A19 is going to be done... so no .X releases. Most people seem to agree that means A19 will be in experimental for that long, since it's 3...
