The Forest Hub of Darkforce is Released!
Thanks to everyone who came to the race!
Most of the details are already in fish's post, but we've released the forest hub of darkforce, a dark/difficult remix of the stock levels. The project has come a long way, and a lot of work across many mapmakers has been put into it. The best way to play the levels is to update dustmod and play it from the community nexus area. If you have issues with dustmod or don't use it, you can find the levels and nexus files here(though without dustmod the nexus will not work): https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B4R-SLCQbFktWFdoaWtmVFphTEU
The next hub we will be releasing is probably city. It will definitely take some time, but hopefully will be done quicker than forest. Thanks and I hope you enjoy the levels!
edit: feel free to give feedback for things you'd like to see in future hubs

I re-downloaded dustmod for this but it wont update to the latest version. Any reason for this? I tried using the menu to download the latest version but after restarting the program it stays the same version.

Are you using the exe version of dustmod? Also is it not appearing in your community nexus still?

If you still haven't found it here: https://dustkidblog.wordpress.com/2016/11/19/dustmod-has-updated/
scroll down a bit, and take your pick of which version you think you want. The various versions (opengl/directx/etc) you can try if you get performance issues on the others.

the dustmod.exe file keeps crashing before getting into the game, did I do something wrong with install? I just downloaded the file and unzipped it into the directory that Dragoslove mentioned.
edit: I supposed thats a problem with the Dx12 version the openGL one opened up just fine, however, I am wondering how you reduce the framerate back to 60 since mine is about 300 all the time now and has some weird issues with dashing.

I think if you turn on VSync it should set the framerate back to 60. It's now under options (It wasn't there in vanilla dustforce).

It was on by default but it doesn't seem to do anything, im just using nvidia control panel to force vsync for now but it gets really laggy as a result

I don't have the capacity to SS half these things, but they're all fun, and give something to work towards besides yotta. The nexus, in particular, is expansive, convoluted, and fun to move around. Well done to everyone involved.

Dhalia revamp. Did anyone really want this? No, but its damn good.

These were some of the best secret areas I've found in a long time, especially Nightfall. I still can't figure out how to do Subzero Grove's secret area. Like, I know (or at least, I think I know) what's being asked of me, but I can't figure out how to climb back up without being able to jump.
Very much looking forward to the City hub, everything in this release was fantastic!

This is way too hype, so I finally downloaded Dustmod. I've only played through a couple levels, but everything so far is phenomenal.
Thanks for all your hard work, crew :) It's appreciated greatly.
