‘We encourage mods’: REPO devs love mods, but they’re begging creators to ‘please optimize’ to keep server costs under control

The development team behind REPO appreciates the community of players and modders but reminds modders to optimize their creations to maintain server stability. They expressed concerns about mods that increase the player count beyond the default limit of six, which can strain servers, similar to issues faced by other indie games like Content Warning. The team hopes modders will avoid creating disruptions due to limited resources. While larger teams can enhance excitement, they can also lead to chaos in gameplay and communication. However, there are many creative mods that do not strain server performance, such as the MoreHeadPlus mod, which offers cosmetic enhancements for robots. The developers encourage a balance between creativity and performance to ensure a positive experience for all players.

Enshrouded’s next update promises a ‘rebirth of the shroud,’ with new monsters, resources, and a whole new weapon customization system

The upcoming update for the open-world survival RPG, Enshrouded, is titled "Rebirth of the Shroud" and is scheduled for next month. It will introduce new monsters, locations, and a system for crafting customizable weapons. The creative director, Antony Christoulakis, mentioned that the update aims to enhance combat and the terrain, as well as increase points of interest in the shrouded areas. Players will discover special gems that can be embedded into weapons, which will have gem slots that can be unlocked at special forges. The rarity of a weapon affects its likelihood of having a gem slot. The shrouded areas will be improved for greater engagement, and nighttime gameplay will see new elements introduced. Water features will not be included in this update, but the development team is working on them for future updates. Enshrouded has surpassed four million players since its early access launch in January 2024, and the "Thralls of Twilight" update will be the sixth significant enhancement to the game.
