Dawnfolk Patch Notes — June 11, 2026
Aggregated from Steam, cross-tracked with Battle.net coverage on GamePatchNote.
Hey everyone!
It’s time for a new community contest. This one is called Famine. I also have some juicy news, I'll keep that for the end of this post.
The last contest winner Thunderbird designed a new tile for the game, the "Crypt", and you'll find it in this new contest!
Until now, all the contest were about completing an objective in as few days as possible, not this time!
The objective is simple, have the biggest production of food possible by day 100.
Everyone who participates will be immortalized on the public leaderboard and win 100 blue lights in game!
But only the best player will enter the Circle of the Champions of Light:
✨ Design your own unique tile in Dawnfolk (will appear in-game!)
✨ Immortalized in Dawnfolk's Hall Of Fame and in the game credits.
✨ A fancy Discord role at the top of the member list
✨ Access to a secret channel reserved for the top players
To participate:
1. Update the game to version 1.5.0
2. Unlock Secrets in the main menu (earn more blue lights if needed 👀)
3. The contest is at the bottom of the Secrets menu
Your score is automatically submitted to the public leaderboard. You should definitely join the discord to chat with the other contestant and see screenshots of their attempts! A screenshot of your final map will be sent automatically on the discord server. Feel free to chat below in the replies too.
You have until July 13th to complete the challenge.
Good luck, and have fun!
By participating in this contest, you agree that your Steam username and score may be publicly displayed on the official Discord server and related community channels.
About that juicy news: Dawnfolk has a new publisher, and it's none other than Klei. They make and publish sick games that I love like Don't Starve, Oxygen Not Included, The Stanley Parable and more.
I'm grateful to my previous publisher, Astra Logical, for supporting the game and helping fund its development, translations, and QA.
With Klei's support, I'm convinced we can bring Dawnfolk to more players and make it even better. I'm honored that they believe in the game and it's now part of their insane catalog. I'm excited to see where this goes!
Take care
