Ｍｅｒｒｙ Ｃｈｉｒｓｔｍａｓ！ blog - Reborn:X

It has been a while

So, hello everyone. I am finally online on this site again after a long time of inactivity. I had plenty of life-related things to do, and I was really planning to post something new on the ModDB but unfortunately, I was really busy.

This blog entry is going to be a small one. I just wanted to tell you guys and girls that I am doing quite alright and I am not going to disappear from the ModDB. I have been a member for about 6 years and counting now, and I am really happy with the way ModDB is still alive and kicking. There were plenty of new mods and fascinating indie games being published lately. ModDB is now also promoting VR games, and we're once again hosting the MOTY and IOTY.

I feel like the whole gaming industry has changed, somewhat. There is more, at least to my observations, emphasis on storytelling and the concept of 'scenes that touch your soul' rather than on games as means of only entertainment and a way to pass the time. There has also been a explosion of military-themed games like Squad or CMANO, which in my opinion go beyond the 'casual simulator' tag and into something that really resembles actual warfare and tactical-level decision making process. Honestly, I was never really that knowledgeable about the Navy aspect in modern warfare but after watching some YouTube playthroughs, I think I finally understand something more. With that being said, I am positive about the future of gaming and modding.

Anyways, I wanted to wish you all a very merry Chirstmas and a joyful, happy time with your family and loved ones. I also wanted to wish you guys and girls a Happy New Year, may it be as interesting and productive for the ModDB and for the whole gaming industry as this passing year is.

I will try to be once again more active on the ModDB when I will have a longer break. Maybe upload some new content in the beginning of the next year. Also, I'll be playing some newly purchased games (Codename Panzers: Cold War, that game with more prototypes than Wargame) on Steam this evening, so If anyone wants to chat with me today, you can find me on Steam. :)

Take care everyone!
