Hello Warriors!
Here are the changes included in the new build, along with some additional updates about Darfall.
????️ Mission 2 & 4 Mountains Rework

We’ve redesigned the [b]mountain layouts in Mission 2 and Mission 4[/b]. With this update, [b]all mountains across the entire campaign[/b] now meet our intended improved quality level.
Just to clarify, [b]the visual appearance of mountains in Survival Mode remains unchanged. [/b]Since Survival maps are [b]procedurally generated[/b], we can’t apply the same handcrafted techniques that Ondrej (our level designer) uses in the campaign, where each mountain is carefully placed with love, rock by rock.
[b]Mission 2 Improvements (Before/After):[/b]

Until now, we’ve been using 95% voice-overs recorded by real actors. As of this update, it’s 100% and that doesn’t just apply to voice-overs. The [b]Barracks Warriors[/b] now feature [b]brand-new recordings from real voice actor[/b], bringing more authenticity and personality to the game. The splash screen image shown during the game's initial loading has also been replaced with a concept artwork by Dalibor, our concept artist. With this, [b]Darfall is now completely free of AI-generated art and audio[/b].
???? Darfall Soundtrack Now on Spotify
Enjoy the haunting and atmospheric music of Darfall outside the game! Our composer [b]Robert Bruckmayer[/b] has published [b]Darfall soundtrack on Spotify[/b]. Just search for "Darfall" or check the following link: [url="https://open.spotify.com/album/1DPgxBUJDDTH1Cy4ZkfQeM?si=cLQfQrPwQwShpuQ94MuuDg"]Darfall on Spotify[/url] Huge thanks also go to the other artists who contributed to composing the music for Darfall - Cosme Leites and Adam Barczi. In the future, we’d love to bring you the full soundtrack featuring music from all of these artists.
???? Reminder: Endless Mode & Difficulty Update
Don’t forget to check out the recently added [b]Endless Mode[/b], as well as the [b]rebalanced difficulty settings across all modes[/b]. Whether you're new or a veteran, you’ll notice tighter, more rewarding challenge curves.
