And they're just extremely popular with the players because once you've tried the 5 to 10 vehicles available to you, naturally you want something that's faster, bigger and got more wheels - whatever it might be. We've got a lot of truck and bus and car related games on the service. But in particular simulation titles, for whatever reason. Right through to the multiplayer first person shooters and competitive games - where just customizing your avatar or changing the level can have a big impact on gameplay.įor us, our growth has been driven by, probably, all of those genres. Scott: So Mod.io and modding in general has typically spanned many genres of games, whether it's open world RPGs, like your Skyrims and your Cyberpunks, through to simulation games - we always said if it has a bus, trains, cars or planes in it, it's suitable.

We did some work together back in the day on things like the Indie Royale bundles but obviously I'm very interested to hear about your latest project Mod.io. Simon: Awesome - we've certainly known each other for a while. Just wrapped up a successful trip to GDC, and it's great to be talking today. Simon: Okay, so I'm here with Scott - How's it going, Scott? Are you having a good day? I'm Simon Carless, founder of GameDiscoverCo, and this is the Tales From Game Discoveryland podcast. So let's hear all about the benefits and pitfalls of making modding a discovery engine for your games. His new VC-backed company, which helps run cross-platform mods for games like Snowrunner, Totally Accurate Battle Simulator, Deep Rock Galactic & Skater XL - is doing some interesting work to make mods available multi-platform. Scott was also the founder of ModDB and IndieDB, and has been involved in the mod scene for more than 20 years.
