One of these weeks,𒈔 I’ll be able to give you a mod round up that doesn’t mention any take-downs and copyright claims. This, however, is noꦛt that week. Yet again, we wave goodbye to a promising GTA modding project, but there is some good news sprinkled in with the bad.
We Chat With The Forgotten City’s Game Director
TheGamer’s Cian Maher sat down with Nick Pearce, game director at developer Modern Storyteller. Pearce takes us through the process of going from making a Skyrim mod to a GOTY contender with The Forgotten City. In the interview, he talks about the risks of giving up his old job to work on the game, and how he had to listen to every bit of feedback to get it perfect. Check out the full interview here.
Another GTA Modding Project Is Cancelled
For the past few weeks, it seems like all we’ve covered is GTA projects getting shut down. While Take-Two isn’t directly involved with this one, the mod’s creators simply didn’t want to take the risk and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:pulled the plug themself. After six years of development, the team behind GTA: Underground released a statement, saying: &ld🍨quo;due to the increasing hostility toꦰwards the modding community and imminent danger to our mental and financial well-being, we sadly announce that we are officially ceasing the development of GTA: Underground and will be shortly taking all official uploads offline.”
Simpsons Hit & Run Meets Vice City
Staying on the GTA theme for a bit, a Vice City-esque mod for The Simpsons Hit and Run 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:received an update this week. The mod, titled A Long Long Night, g🐷ives the game a new synthwave coat of paint, bringing new textures, music, and more. It isn’t just a visual overhaul however, as it also contains eight brand new missions, using dialogue within the game to⛦ craft a new story.
Mass Effect, But Less Romance
If there’s one thing the Normandy crew is known for, it sure as hell isn’t their professionalism. While the SR-1 crew at least attempts to follow military regs on fraternizing with the captain, that was quickly thrown out the window. Then by the time Mass Effect 3 rolled around, almost every companion is throwing themselves at Shep - and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:this mod puts an end to that. If you download the Optional Flirting mod, then you won&rsqu🅺o;t find yourself accidentally locked into a romance just because you’re being 𝕴friendly. Instead, romance-starting dialogue is put in the middle of the dialogue wheel, so go ahead and be buddies with your crew without feeling like you’re dragging them on.
Garry's Mod Sells 20 Million Units
The success of Garry’s Mod is well documented at this point, but it may surprise you to find out just how successful it still is. This week, it reached the incredible milestone of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:selling 20 million units. Released as a Half Life 2 mod back in 2004, 𓆏it was released as its own game in 2006. Since then, it has become an iconic part of the modding community, and is actually in the top✃ 50 best selling games of all time.
