Hey there, that is Alex Tintor, co-founder of Blue Isle Studios. We’re launching a brand new recreation known as Leap that has main mod assist…one thing that’s fairly close to and expensive to my coronary heart.
I acquired my first style of modding at ten years outdated, once I began making mods for the Command & Conquer sequence of video games. I labored on the Command & Conquer: Pink Alert map editor which I continued to collaborate on with a gaggle of others by means of my highschool years with the Blitzkrieg 2 mod for Command & Conquer: Generals. I met my colleague and studio co-founder Brenden years down the street when Starcraft 2 got here out with a formidable set of modding instruments. I used to be on a mission to start out a complete conversion modding undertaking and had been informed I wanted to attach with Brenden.
Collectively at Blue Isle Studios, we have now introduced quite a few video games to market over the previous decade and have all the time envisioned creating a recreation the place gamers are provided the chance to mod inside the recreation and create content material that provides to the sport’s playability. Leap was the right recreation to introduce our Leap Design Works suite of mod instruments.. All of our video games have wonderful communities, and Leap has had an particularly lively neighborhood of modders who’ve been within the recreation since our Early Entry launch final 12 months. Their content material paired with our new partnership with the modding chief Overwolf has set us as much as have a pleasant collection of user-generated content material (UGC) from modders everywhere in the world out there to play at this time!
A number of the UGC I’m most trying ahead to trying out embody a mod known as “One Bullet One Kill” by Overwolf modder “th_mrow,” and one other is positioned inside a personal server from one other Overwolf modder, Lukas, known as “Leap Hardpoint.”
Along with modding being 100% practical for console launch, Leao additionally options two modes (PVE and PVP), tons of map maps, weapons, and private automobiles as modes of transportation (my private favorites being the robo moose and hoverboard). Leap continues to develop day by day as our modding neighborhood expands and continues to implement new servers and content material. We even have a stable roadmap of content material deliberate for the approaching months that features new weapons and ranges amongst different issues that we are going to reveal quickly.
Whereas Leap delivers on what gamers have come to know and count on from a stable FPS, we’re excited to face out with our partnership with Overwolf, and look ahead to preserving our servers full of imaginative gamers.
This can be a large second for Brenden and me, as we glance again on these hours spent in our teenage bedrooms come full circle; we hope with the launch of this recreation, it should present an avenue for brand spanking new and skilled modders to create content material for years to come back.
Welcome to Leap! We are able to’t wait to see what experiences you’ll have and what artistic modding content material you’ll create – not that I’ll be judging or something.
