  • Long ago CDPR promised full modding toolkit to the community. They released some of that modkit, but not all of it. This will allow the community a full suite of tools to design new quests from the ground up, including posing and scripting and animation, possibly new voice line inclusion, who knows what else. Maybe text entry?
    I’m glad they’re finally releasing this, as we have all been waiting for it. Maybe they feel their work on TW3 is done, and recognizing their game for its cultural importance, are doing the right thing and letting the community take over for them.







  • I think the way Epic sees it, young players probably just push Play: they don’t browse around the launcher. Now maybe that’s because there’s nothing worth browsing TO, unlike Steam where you have a community hub, a discussion board, sometimes a Workshop, and then the store link, plus you have the news updates and little discussion pieces.
    Epic just like Valve probably track mouse movements and mouse clicks with the app and know what we interact with and for how long. So they probably know that when I’m scrolling FF7R community hub photos/art, my scrolling slows on particularly thirsty images…
    Given that then, maybe Epic isn’t bothering adding some of Steam’s features because they already know what users are interacting with on EGS.

    FWIW I would buy games on EGS if: the price was much better than Steam; it incorporated Steam Input or equivalent; it had Big Picture Mode; they had a Linux native app.
