If you haven't visited, Japan is the most amazing place!

Beautiful page design, love that people mod the games and the site :D

Thanks everyone for participating! We've sent some of you at random a game code so check your email and fingers crossed you were one of the lucky people!

Let me know if you have any problems uploading images in the future.

This is the pinnacle of giveaways.

Please note these keys are for EU PS4 owners. Is that right RodrigoChips

Yep, based out of Melbourne.

mod.io is an API for game developers to integrate, to get mods in-game. Not sure how that relates to cash. We want to offer game developers options they can turn on like patronage, donations and trading to make modding a driver of success for them and their creators - but we are well aware pain caused by paid mods and need to be smarter and better than that.

The sites are completely disconnected and despite both serving mods, fulfil different roles.

So we might add a "login by moddb" option in the future, but for now it's all about helping games integrate the API.

Congrats on the PCGamer and RPS coverage, keep up the fine work!

Thanks, should make embedding our videos and contents on 3rd party sites easier too.

We do use cloudflare for caching media only.

Thanks, super happy we've done the switch. Just nervously waiting to see what impact it has on the Google SERPs. Links greatly appreciated :D

We are not as active as we once were, but 16 years on members like you are the reason we work so damn hard on the site. Did you see we just launched Mod.io. It’s a bit different but hoping it plays a big role in our future. Thanks for your support

S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2? Yes please

Community is everything to us, we are not going to betray that trust

That's right, we are a CDN for mod delivery with a lot of optional extras and features built around that. We solve all the boring stuff like searching, categorisation, moderation, manage complex legal challenges like DMCA and the new GDPR etc. With the aim of creating a drop in solution to give game devs mod support without having to spend a ton of time on the implementation.

Any engine that has developers wanting easier mod supporting systems we shall target. So I cannot see why we wouldn't do GameMaker 1.4 as well in the future.

It isn't a client, just a library / SDKs. So the game developer either connects directly to the API: Docs.mod.io or they use the SDK or plugin.

How mods install is up to the game developer, they would specify what folder mod.io should place the mods in and we will do that.

Are you working on a game?

Steam Workshop is a great service, they made modding accessible via APIs. mod.io aims to do this as well but goes a few steps further.

The primary difference is the open nature of the mod.io platform. This allows us to work in DRM free games, on consoles, mobiles etc. It isn't tied to one store. This is significant for F2P games, large publishers and other cross-platform games who have either had to roll their own solution, or just do modding the old fashioned way, as no alternative exists.

The second benefit is the flexibility of the mod.io platform. It operates silently in the background. Every piece is entirely optional, so developers can decide what they want to use. We don't enforce any rules which gives developers a lot more control and access to their modding community.

Functionality wise, there is a ton under the hood that is quite new and different, from highly customisable profiles and browsing settings (to help with mod discoverability), to advanced moderation systems.

Ultimately though we believe competition is needed. What if Workshop makes a decision you disagree with, or doesn't meet your needs? Workshop is just one of many things that Valve does, so it's a bit of a black box for developers. If it does what you need and you don't mind giving up control of your mod community that's awesome, but mod.io is our focus, modding is an area we have 20 years of expertise in, and we are continually adjusting our platform based on developers feedback.

Thanks, we hope this encourages innovation and allows even more developers to support mods across more devices and stores in their game.

Damn that is a thing of beauty
