The Second Modding Event: Awesome Mod Spotlights
Dear desert travelers,
After sifting through a variety of high-quality entries for Sands of Salzaar’s Second Modding Event, we are excited to reveal today the list of cool mods selected by our official team! Before announcing the results, we’d like to thank all the participants. It was such a pleasure to explore everyone’s creations!
Compared to the First Modding Event in May, the second comp has inundated us with more diversity, more professional mods with higher technical requirements, more multiplayer maps, and even massive story overhauls that totally remake the game with all-new gameplay and storylines. Such progress not only comes from the constant technical updates on modding toolsets, but also owes a great deal to our passionate modders always dedicated to improving modding skills to realize the full potential of our humble indie.
So, without further ado, here comes the complete list of selected mods:
[h3]The Excellence Prize:[/h3] 乌坦城之变 (The Wu Tan City Uprising)
Mod Author: skyswordkill
The whole multiplayer map based on the IP of the popular Chinese fiction Battle Through the Heavens is remade with an all-new GUI, leaving a strong first impression on players. The re-designed skill system consists of passive and active abilities to be ranked up. The gameplay is more of a stats-based RPG, with huge potential in future updates.
空界之传v2.0版 (Hollow Chronicles 2.0)
Mod Author: KK大魔王Acrab
Based on the Japanese novel series Sword Art Online, this mod includes two fictional characters with exclusive plots and quests, adds several new maps, and introduces skills like crafting equipment and items. The mod overall is very polished with frequent updates. Some newly-added dungeons are also well-designed.
[h3]The Merit Prize:[/h3] 墨家传人正式版 (The Descendants of Mo)
Mod Author: M3小蘑菇
If you like game storytelling and martial arts, this is the mod you can’t miss. A new character The Descendants of Mo is added and the original storylines about Mohism will soon get you immersed in the game. We really look forward to seeing the ending of the story!
少女与弯刀 (Femme Salzaar)
Mod Author: HA会长
This campaign mod is the base mod for “The Weaker Sex”. These two mods feature an original female character, new female NPCs and a variety of female combat arms. The recent update remade characters’ portraits and added a slew of new storylines. Strongly recommended.
动态人物互动与势力交互大修 (Dynamic Character and Faction Interactions)
Mod Author: skyswordkill & 勃兰登堡
This mod expands the base game’s Favor system and interactions with NPCs and factions. Now you can have chit chat, practice fighting with other fellow characters, make confessions of love to your crush, trade cities with other factions, and even beg for goods.
数码宝贝 (Digimon)
Mod Author: 宇文kong
This mod adds a variety of Digimons as combat arms in-game which can be upgraded with different progression routes. The Digimon library is comprehensive with unique signature skills , and the models are so exquisitely-designed that sometimes cause frame drops in the troop upgrade interface.
[h3]The Creativity Prize:[/h3]
[h3]The Participation Prize:[/h3]
Congrats again to all the authors who made these awesome mods above! You guys will receive our prizes in the following weeks. If you haven’t gotten in touch with us yet, no worries, we will contact you on Steam, or you can join our Discord or email us ([email protected]) so that we can send you the prize.
We are glad to see there are English mods on the list. Given some coding issues in English modding toolsets, it is quite difficult for our English modders to get their creative juices flowing this time. To fix these problems, we are currently working on localizing all the Excels containing Chinese item IDs for modding. Besides, we will optimize English modding support in the next major update, which you can read about in our roadmap update blog, and more popular Workshop mods including the prize-winning mods in this comp will be localized into English for our English players to enjoy a variety of custom gaming experiences.
For Sands of Salzaar, mod not only substantially expands the original gaming experience with innovative custom content, but also helps us find out what players would like to see and change in this game. Therefore, in addition to improving modding support in future updates, we will continue to add new content to the base game, rebalance and optimize in-game systems in accordance with feedback from our Community. The desert world will keep evolving. Stay tuned for more!
Sincerely,
Sands of Salzaar’s Team
