Pro Darts 2026 Devlog

A few days have passed since I released Pro Dart 2026 

About
Darts Career Mode is a complete career simulation inspired by the PDC (Professional Darts Corporation). Create your player, fight for a Tour Card, enter every dart one by one, and build a career with an Order of Merit, event calendar, fans, money, and lifestyle progression.

And today i updated the game and now i want to share it here so enjoy the journey!

IMPORTANT: The game is in an early state so if there are bugs just report them it would be very herlpfully especially if there are problems with the bots or the tournaments

The Lifestyle menu has also been updated only slightly; you can get everything from sponsors to homes 

Here, the career menu is the first page you see; nothing has really changed here.

So i updated the UI

Here for the rankings it's no longer all listed one after another, so you're not just scrolling through it—everything is on one page. And i added tabs for the Secondary Rankings so u only see 2 rankings and not 5. Thats a bit much

Next is the Calender 

 The match screen has also been redesigned so that you no longer have to scroll much; before, everything was listed one below the other, and you couldn't see the results once you'd entered the throws.

Thats it with the UI fir now
