There are four sectors and you start out at the gas station that you may have seen in screenshots. Then you go through to other levels and end up at a prison. In each sector you have to kill all the enemies before you can move on and there

Hope it turns into a new "JA2 demo" we can play and play and play and play and play and...

I'm dying to know.. is it alive?

To add your own assets, you need Unity Pro because we use asset bundles, which are an advanced form of zip files that Unity uses. But then you can add your own models.

some of this has me worried... hope the second part of the RPS interview will clarify and dissipate my doubts.

No reason to panic yet, but modding is a very broad term and the way he talks about it leaves me unsure of wether he means the kind of modding this game (in my opinion-) needs.

In that regard I was very dissapointed with some triple A titles like Oblivion, which promised modding, but because of severe limitations proper mods were hardly possible, and all you could get were very minor mods, like shitty reskins

I don't expect open source, but without script support and an API to access core mechanics of the game I wouldn't consider a game really moddable, even if there are fancy tools and externalised data to do superficial changes, like cosmetic or balancing ones.

In regard to budget and more "casual" players, its clear that we can't expect something like 1.13 from FC.
But without the possibility to recreate some of the 1.13 systems, I really don't know what I am supposed to do with this game... some ideas, like the suppression system, or AP scaling, are just to good to go back from.

From what i gather, unity pro runs at 1500$.
FC said themselves, budget severly limits the content that will be in the game, and now apparently we can't add our own stuff? We could always get organized and crowdfund our mods, or resort to pirate bay, but come on...

I wonder why that is... and it better be an unavoidable technical necessity with unity, and not just FC using that format to protect their own assets.

But honestly, unless you're going for full-scale modding (which in return can be crowdfunded if the project is cool enough), there's little need to create your own game assets. It all depends how characters, equipment and weapons are implemented, those are the main modding targets.

I mean why get excited for a game that will be worst for sure?
