While Dark and Darker Languishes in Legal Limbo, One Fan Is Trying to Make it in Fortnite
While Dark and Darker is caught in a legal battle, a player is bringing the game to Fortnite
While Dark and Darker is still in legal limbo, a sole creator is working on bringing the popular fantasy RPG to a new platform: Fortnite.
This sole developer comes from Fern, a UK-based software engineer who posted a video of their work-in-process project to the Fortnite Creative Reddit. Caught up in the recent tech industry layoffs, they decided to “chill for a bit” and work on personal projects. Thus, the Dark and Darker map.
“The project started back when UEFN didn’t even exist. I believe I started with this idea in Jan 2023. I’d been updating myself on Unreal Engine 5 as I’d done multiple projects with Unreal Engine 4 and wanted to be on the latest version to use nanite, lumen and all the great tech from Epic.”

Music Labels Win Legal Battle Against Youtube-dl’s Hosting Provider
“YouTube-DL’s services have enabled users to stream rip and download copyrighted music without paying. The Hamburg Regional Court’s decision builds on a precedent already set in Germany and underscores once again that hosting stream-ripping software of this type is illegal. “We continue to work globally to address the problem of stream ripping, which is draining revenue from those who invest in and create music,” Moore adds. Interestingly, the open source youtube-dl code remains available on the Microsoft-owned developer platform GitHub. Whether the music companies have any plans to target the problem at this source is unknown.
Uberspace’s legal representative German Society for Civil Rights (GFF) informs TorrentFreak that the decision doesn’t come as a total surprise since the court already declared YouTube’s “rolling cipher” to be an effective technical protection measure in an earlier case. That said, the defense believes that the order, which effectively amounts to a blanket ban on youtube-dl, failed to take the software’s potentially legitimate uses into account. In addition, GFF believes that the court’s decision severely restricts the hosting provider’s freedom to operate. “If web hosts have to delete an entire website on demand of the rightsholders even in complex situations with no legal precedent, this poses a threat to the business model of web hosts and ultimately to the free flow of information on the Internet.” Uberspace says it will appeal the judgement and GFF is confident the hosting provider will ultimately prevail.
