Lighter Dungeon - Gameplay Overhaul Mod

Lighter Dungeon is a modification to Darkest Dungeon that makes gameplay much easier and helps to balance out some of the tougher aspects of the game. This mod is aimed at players who personally have a tough time with the retail version of the game or for players who wish to have a handhold while they learn the ropes of the game.

Darkest Dungeon is a difficult game, and the Lighter Dungeon mod only eases your suffering a tiny bit. Remaining true to the core of the game and the pace of it was the priority when designing this mod. Do not expect a ‘win’ button by installing Lighter Dungeon.

Quite possibly. I'll keep an eye out to see if any of the effected files are ones that I have modded and I'll make sure to merge the new changes in. I'll try to keep it as up-to-date as I can.

If this lets more people experince more of the game instead of running head-first into a wall and putting the game down, why not allow it? Even if some people (namely me) likes the current game balance it dosent hurt the game that some people would like to try it a bit easier...

...Although i don't hope the devs makes these changes to the main game.
No offence JoeTheBanshee.

I am more worried that the devs will change the file format or introduce encryption to stop these sorts of modifications.

None taken. I actually don't even use my own mod, though I have been testing it. I prefer the vanilla game, but I'd like more people to be able to play it.

Balance is going to be incredibly important with the Pitch Black mod, and testing it is going to be a pain. Many revisions will be made I'm sure...

I hope not. If you're looking for a mod to enhance the difficulty, keep your eyes on this forum. I hope to have it ready by next week.

For some. For others its apparently hard. Let them have this mod so they actually try the entire game instead of rage quitting before hitting lvl 3 dungeons.When they feel confortable they can 'upgrade' to vanilla.

By the fact that someone has done this shows, regardless on all the people saying the game is fine as it is, someone wants this. Nice to know it's possible to do this and I can only hope the Devs make it easier to do this kind of modding and not harder.
