Hello Deadsiders!
On July 31st at 11:00AM CEST, we will begin the release of version 1.6, and the Deadside Modkit!
The release of the Modkit is a huge achievement for our team, making Deadside moddable was a technical challenge, and a substantial endeavor. But the effort was worth it, this modkit opens up many possibilities for our community like map creation, custom logic, unique game balance and more. As much as we would like to say the possibilities are endless, modders will still need to work within the limits of the engine, game logic, and server performance. Welcome to the world of game development :))))
After the release of the modkit, you can expect to see tutorials for new modders on our official wiki, and on our youtube channel. Our modkit is a custom version of unreal engine 4, which is fairly approachable for any new modders who are interested.
For those who are primarily interested in just experiencing the new mods, playing on modded servers is really easy. You can download and update mods in game using the server browser, just click to join the modded server you want to play on!
Also included in version 1.6 are some nice looking weapon remodels, and a bunch of important exploit and bug fixes. So head down to the patch notes after taking a look at some of these new weapons
