Hey there, that is Alex Tintor, co-founder of Blue Isle Studios. We’re launching a brand new sport referred to as Leap that has main mod help…one thing that’s fairly close to and pricey to my coronary heart.
I bought my first style of modding at ten years previous, after I began making mods for the Command & Conquer sequence of video games. I labored on the Command & Conquer: Crimson Alert map editor which I continued to collaborate on with a gaggle of others by way 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 highway when Starcraft 2 got here out with a powerful set of modding instruments. I used to be on a mission to begin a complete conversion modding venture and had been instructed 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 at all times envisioned growing a sport the place gamers are supplied the chance to mod throughout the sport and create content material that provides to the sport’s playability. Leap was the right sport to introduce our Leap Design Works suite of mod instruments.. All of our video games have wonderful communities, and Leap has had an particularly energetic neighborhood of modders who’ve been within the sport since our Early Entry launch final yr. 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 obtainable to play at this time!
Among the UGC I’m most trying ahead to testing embrace a mod referred to 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, referred to as “Leap Hardpoint.”
Along with modding being a hundred percent practical for console launch, Leao additionally options two modes (PVE and PVP), tons of map maps, weapons, and private autos as modes of transportation (my private favorites being the robo moose and hoverboard). Leap continues to develop each 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 holding our servers crammed with imaginative gamers.
It is 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 sport, 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.
