Dawnfolk News

Hey everyone!
I'm running a new playtest for 1 week to test the new mods of Dawnfolk! 🎨 ⚙️
The goal is simple: Install the mods and play the new level I made using modding tools for the game and let me know what you think and if you find issues or bugs.

• Light Spire adds a new science building for the light well with incredible powers!,
  
• Icylands adds a new levels including a snow biome and a new race: the Iskarr. You can specialize the Iskarr to get more resources.,
  

I've worked hard on optimizing the game so it can run smoothly a on toaster, it's possible you'll find new bugs that were not there before. 😅

1. Switch to the playtest branch of the game on Steam (properties->beta->playtest, see screenshots below).
   
2. Go to the workshop and subscribe to the mods.
   
3. Run the game, and make sure the mods are enabled in the main menu in "options > mods",
   
4. Press the play button, go at the top and play the "icyland" level.

Have fun!

Hey everyone!

It's time to mod Dawnfolk! I'm giving you early access to version 1.3.0, which adds mod support!

The public release is planned for sometime in May, so players still need to wait a little.

Here's the full guide with example mods.

I'm counting on you to try it out soon so I can update the guide or the game based on your feedback if you encounter any issues while creating mods. Best case scenario: we’ll already have a few mods available when the update goes public!

I'll do my best to be available and help you out over the next few weeks, so now’s the perfect time to start working on a mod. Don't hesitate to reach out here if you have any questions or run into any problems. If you're planning to create a mod, please leave a message below so I know who's interested!

Hey everyone!

I’m working on adding modding support to Dawnfolk! Soon, you'll be able to create your own buildings, maps, and more to shape the game your way.



I've made great progress, and I'll soon be giving early access to modders to help troubleshoot issues and start creating mods before the update goes public.

If you're interested in modding Dawnfolk, join our modding community on Discord and grab the Modder role! You can do this by replying to the onboarding question or heading to "Channels and Roles" in Discord.

If you have any questions, please leave them below.

Looking forward to seeing what you create!

Take care,

Hey everyone!

I just added a new level to the "Curious Expeditions" to celebrate April Fool's Day.
You're warned, this level is completely crazy.



I hope you like it, let me know if you managed to beat it!

Take care,
