This War of Mine: We will support mods in the grade!
There are games that mean more than just entertainment. Perhaps this can be said about a lot: about films, books, series and music – in all works of art there is a large percentage of one -time consumer goods, there are some of the things in themselves – for lovers of a certain genre. And there are nuggets – they do not just make your day/week/month, they leave the deepest impression, they want to discuss them, they want to share, they can even affect your worldview.
For me, games are the favorite source of such nuggets, and one of their brightest representatives is this War of Mine.
Looking at the game from the side, you will not see anything special. Side view, slurred graphics, characters that say “bubblahs”, and do not pronounce aloud, the simplest management of the mouse. It looks like another timkiller.
But I gave this game a little more than 5 minutes to make an impression – and did not regret it.
Not everyone in war is a soldier. You have to play for one or a group of ordinary civilians who do not run headlong forward, shouting “cheers” and demolishing the enemy of the head;They are not “Vidzhilant” – just people who were in the wrong place at that time.
Your group is in a shelter in which she has to wait for the horrors of war. You have to make night sorties behind supplies (snipers do not doze), make difficult decisions (whether to give the last bottle of medicine, the necessary patient’s member of the group, children who knocked on the door? Suffer from hunger or rob an elderly couple?), to experience the consequences of night raids on your home and see the death of characters, to which you are surprisingly easily attached.
I don’t know how for you, but for me all this sounds really impressive … but from other people’s lips.
If desired, in Steam Community, in blogs and even on the same Stopgame you can find a large number of harsh stories that have survived (or could not survive) their characters. In my case, unfortunately, everything turned out to be too simple.
I very quickly understood, “how it works”;A couple of trial games – and I forever ceased to find myself in a situation of needs. My characters were ready for everything, supplies are always in abundance, night raids ceased to deliver troubles. A couple more games for immersion in the atmosphere – and, alas, I became frankly boring.
I know for sure that I am not the only one to feel such difficulties. Having understood the rules of the game, you begin to invent a challenge to yourself: to attack the “cool guys” with a bunch of supplies, although you yourself have no need and there is no need to attack;commit “immoral” actions so that the heroes suffer from conscience and this became the problem that needs to be solved;come from night sorties with a half -empty backpack, so that there is something to go again.
This is completely not the fate that the game deserves. It was created in order to give emotions in order to force to empathize and suffer with the characters to better understand who you are. And in the current state of the game, at a certain moment, innocent civilian cursor becomes meaningless and merciless rammbo.
Then the developers released an update that allowed to “create” their own conditions of the game: characters, maps, duration of the war, general conditions in the city. Why quotes? Because, in my opinion, it was “not the best attempt by an athlete” ™.
The characters’ setting was limited to the fact that you can choose a photo (from ready-made ones-for some reason much more ugly than the original ones-or upload your own), the model (moreover, it was clear that 5 ready-made photos are compared with the same number of models and, uploading the left photo, you cannot stop thinking that it is not suitable for this model) and “background” that affects which of the rather useless ones is quite uselessabede the character will own. All. The backpack of all the same size (its differences in the original characters lay at the heart of the balance of the game), no one has bad habits (the need to make cigarettes and/or coffee also added interest to the game), a special story also. The characters are empty and uninteresting, you do not believe them.
The rest is about the same: yes, you can choose https://betzino-casino.uk/ in advance which of the set of locations will be present in the game, but one of the main features before that was the feeling of the unknown – what conditions will be this time? Whom do you meet in a particular building – military, bandits or innocent residents? The lack of which supplies will be on the map? Knowing all this in advance, the last drops of interest come to naught.
As a result, the developers’ attempt to diversify the gameplay for me finally turned the game into a farce.
With bitterness I write such words about this wonderful game … its potential is truly huge. Many suggestions about the improvements were written by me and other fans of the game in the community (the subject of my pride is the proposal of the paid DLC “Twom: Hard as F*CK”, which complicated and randomized the game on all aspects), but the developers remained dumbness to these wishes.
I think there is only one way to save the game: to develop a clear moddate and open a workshop. Then the fans of the game themselves will finalize it in all the directions that they have pleased with them, this can be seen on many examples: Banice, on which the author has already been arranged a long time ago, but fans, in particular Blacklique Team, continue and continue to add new content and make the game better and better;Don`t Starve, which without mods is generally difficult to imagine;Fallout: New Vegas, a hundred mods to which I installed before the first launch of the game, they were so good.
Believing the best, I opened a petition to develop a moddate for the game This War of Mine, which I ask you, friends, to support. We will not let the beautiful game sink in the abyss of inexpedged bugs and shortcomings.
The petition signature will take you about 20 seconds (an order of magnitude less than reading this article, hehe), but it will certainly benefit in the name of world gaming dies.
Fallout: New Vegas
Don`t Starve
Banished
This War of Mine
The best comments
The game is already insanely addictive, and with mods I think for at least another month I fall out of reality, great news, I hope everything will work 🙂
With mods, I think, much more than for a month 🙂 For example, Donat Starve, Banished and Fallout: New Vegas shows that models are doing true miracles.
I think you need here PC )).
What else is there and what everyone needs to know about the Blogchain read under the spoiler below.
1) The post is published with the date of creation Draft, Therefore, before the implementation of such an important action as pressing the button Publications, It is advisable to copy the created creation and create a new draft, where to place the fruits of the works of your.
2) After one update of the site interface, I could not find a menu for a long time Drafts. It turned out that now it can be found along the way Main page of blogs => (Tab) Mine => drafts.
2) a creature called Pfirst TOcomment. Read more about him, as well as about the rating, live broadcasts, Achivka, gifts and much more can be read in the “Help on the Site”. In general, FAQ is also a pretty useful thing – use health)).
3) Read the rules of communication on SG-someday there may be a check. I’m not joking.
4) about how to grammar (or can grammar?) Read here.
5) about how to issue a post – here.
6) the last moderator [4]. Here they complain about people, and after these people a gang of moderators in heart talks.
Then there is information that is more cognitive than a mandatory character:
*) I saw in blogs posts with the word “Kurilka” in the name and did not understand what it was? And everything is simple: a smoking room is a place to communicate on a variety of topics. As soon as one post is gaining a large number of comments that interfere with its normal load, the smoking room is revived in a new post. If you want to chat, express your opinion on some reason, then write to the last of them. Due to the frequent update, I will not leave a certain link here, but if you suddenly get lost, then in the finished smoking there is always a link to a new one (from below or top of the page).
*) I found game news, which is not on the main one, and you want to share it? Great! Write on this topic, but first read in it about the rules for designing news.
*) If you suddenly woke up with the desire to join a video installation business, but you don’t know which side to approach Sony Vegas, then Maxim Kulakov will help you with this:
First lesson, second lesson and third.
*) Do you want your voice to be heard? Then the road to your Soundforge. Tell you about it again Maxim Kulakov. The first lesson (the pictures really promised to live long, but the text remained.), Video content to the first lesson (look for a video in the comments).
*) Kohl asked about advertising on the site, then you need to turn in the direction of this post.
*) If you want to ask a question to Fenu (aka Ivan Loev), then first look for an answer in the second part of the show Feng answers, in its third issue of it. And in the fourth. You can still look in this interview (the hair dryer talks about yourself there). But you won’t find it, then write in the last of the question topics.
*) An analogue from another leading Leonid Davydov (aka Leonid Davydov). First part and second.
*) And if you are interested in Vasily Halperov, Maxim Solodilov and Dmitry Kungurov, the kingdom of Halperia and the cultivation of plywood, then look here.
*) How could I forget about the history of SG? She, of course, dates back to 2012, but it is better than nothing at all. Maybe you will be just those who continue this archelogic work.
As for what your post is not enough. Basically, this, of course, is information. I understand that you wanted to tell people about the petition and ask for their support, but this information would look much better if you first told us what this War of Mine is and would explain why she needs the possibility of modification. Moreover, it is better to draw up an explanation not in the form of a review that you can find a lot on the network, but in the story about why you like this game. If I’m not mistaken, then one of the ideas of the game is the creation of a personal dramatic story? Excellent, tell us your story and the stories of other players, interest us with this game, issue a post in a pleasant and atmospheric style, and also clearly and clearly prove that the game requires the opportunity in modifications.
Do all this, and people will most likely help. And so, this is just a dry ejection, which, probably, such a game does not deserve. After all, it does not deserve?
P.WITH. If there is not enough rating to insert pictures and videos, then ask you to be plused (for example, ask about it in the smoking room or in the comments to the post).
Sincerely thank you for the advice, kind person!
At the moment, I give all the contribution from myself to this topic that I can. Asking for 20 seconds to a petition from each, I myself can physically devote, maybe an hour on this topic. I think this is already something-with the world on the thread 🙂 This hour is spent on the release of the information briefly, but to all the places where it comes to my mind: the topics and profiles of those interested in Steam, groups about Twom in contact, etc.D. I thought about Stopgame, whose old user I am)
At least part of your recommendations will take, of course, for more than an hour, but gradually I will try to do it and this.
May the information at the moment be perceived as a dry ejection – this is better than nothing. Maybe there is time for the “decoration”.
If I understand you correctly, then for modding community I need a moddate … Apparently, I did not exactly formulate a petition. Corrected.
The developers of This War of Mine announced the opportunity to fumble custom scripts and characters through the workshop. Modkite on the way.
Thanks to everyone who supported the petition!
111 votes! Anniversary! 🙂
Friends, we need more signatures, 111 – this is not enough to send developers ..
I read your recommendations again and realized that I do not know what PC is. -_- In addition to the most obvious. I could have clarified, please?
I WOULD It My Passport IF Donat Add Workshop to the Game. Please Donmet Make Me Dothism Not Tasty at All.
