If you're especially interested and want to follow development you can support its creators on Patreon here: Grimrukh, and Meowmaritus. There's no release date for Nightfall yet, but when it hits I'll be on it like a seagull on chips. You can tell that this project is coming from people who deeply love and understand the game they're working with. The tone, and the voice acting, is spot on.

In addition to all this, Nightfall has its own storyline, items, and NPCs. It integrates with the Nexus sites to provide you with a fast, efficient and much less hassled modding experience. It's based on the Taurus Demon, the game's first real boss, but with the moveset made much quicker, enhanced by attacks from other enemies, and with one AoE attack that uses existing animations to make something completely new. The Nexus Mod Manager (NMM) is a free and open source piece of software that allows you to download, install, update and manage your mod files through an easy to use interface. Those News bits are from websites partnered with Steam that are automatically added to the News section of a game simply due to keyphrasing or tagging that game. The video shows off a boss, the Blistering Demon, which demonstrates the kinds of things these modders are doing with the game. Fun fact: theres no evidence that most mods get you banned, 99 of people talk by hearsay. This would render most normal Dark Souls enemies trivial but of course Nightfall has its own enemy set, constructed from the elements of the original game but more aggressive and with tricks you might not expect.

The dodge when in the aggressive mode is more of a warp-dash, which is not only omni-directional (in Dark Souls you can roll in four directions) but seems to be more-or-less invincible.
