Greetings, Darfall Players!
We’re excited to announce that the latest content update, 0.10, is now live!
This update brings a host of improvements and new features as we continue working towards the full release. Let’s dive into the highlights of what’s new in this demo update.
Window Bar Rework
The bottom bar has been redesigned to highlight the Storage and Codex buttons, previously located near "Repair All." This new layout not only makes these buttons easier to access but also paves the way for future additions, such as a potential Hero Crafting button in later updates.
With all window buttons now grouped in one place, navigating your interface has never been easier. This redesign also leaves room for future expansions.
Ability & Perk Book UI Upgrade
The Ability and Perk Book windows have received a visual and functional rework. With updated art, your character now stands at the center of the Perk Tree, enhancing the feeling of progression and customization.
Switching between Perks and Abilities is now seamless, thanks to a clear toggle and a "new point" indicator that ensures you never miss an opportunity to upgrade.
Survival End Screen Improvements
The updated Survival End Screen now provides detailed information about your score, including a breakdown of the difficulty multiplier and a new section for Objectives.
Destroying portals now properly reflects in your score, rewarding your efforts with a significant bonus.
Mod.io Integration!
For content creators and players seeking new scenarios, we’re excited to announce mod.io integration! This platform allows you to browse, subscribe, and play custom scenarios directly in-game.

Uploading your scenarios is as straightforward as using the Steam Workshop, and mod.io ensures that players can easily explore community creations.
Scenario Editor Improvements
We’ve made several enhancements to the Scenario Editor, making it easier than ever to create your custom maps:
Custom Items with Icons
You can now create custom items, assign names, and upload unique icons. Want a specific quest item to drop from Giant Rats? You can now make it happen!
Custom items can be found in the Data Editor window on the second tab.
In the future, we also plan to add a way to modify any stat of an item, like Hitpoints or Damage, and to change existing items, like how much the Plank costs to craft.
Pathing Grid
We have also added an option to display cells blocked by props or structures, helping you visualize AI navigation and player-building restrictions.
Doodad Improvements
Doodads serve as visual environment improvements and are designed to be non-interactable by the player in any way. However, we have added the ability to allow doodads to block pathing.
This helps immensely when placing doodads like custom mountains or pillars, which previously allowed players to walk straight through them.
