I really do suspect, though, that a lot of developers simply don't release mod tools because it's very complex."īut among games that do make the effort to support modding, Stieglitz expects to see Steam Workshop adoption take off big time, especially among indie games. But I think for a developer to not release mod tools because they want to have an exclusive lock on new content for their game would be a foolish decision.

They'll keep playing, and if you have premium content that's developer approved and official, and is more polished than the mods available, they're likely to buy that as well. They get people engaged because there's more content, and they don't have to pay for all of it. From that standpoint, mod tools are only helpful. The problem is getting people to play your game and keeping them engaged. People playing your game will always, if they're enjoying it, want to pay you for more official content. "For a developer to not release mod tools because they want to have an exclusive lock on new content for their game would be a foolish decision." "I don't know why all developers don't put out DLC tools, but I think that if anyone is not giving tools to their users because they're afraid it will decrease their DLC sales, that's an inaccurate judgement of how people's brains work. "I think it's kind of a false view," he says. As co-founder of a company that produced a large quantity of paid DLC, Stieglitz dismissed it outright. Our conversation then turned to an often-seen message board theory that some developers (such as EA, which famously refused to support mods in Battlefield 3) intentionally withhold mod tools or actively cripple modding efforts to prevent competition with their own paid DLC content. Hopefully we'll see some things that will get us nearly in trouble, but not all the way in trouble." Based on some of the somewhat risque stuff that can be found in Skyrim's Workshop page, that's all but inevitable. "The more offensive and controversial the custom content is, the better. Stieglitz says there will be about 20 levels and mods available on Tuesday, with that number quickly rising as players upload new ones - and he's hoping for some attention-getting shockers.

It's a fun kind of thing that kind of inverts the Dungeon Defenders formula a little bit."

There are catapults that you can use to fling yourself over the walls. Another fun map is called The Siege, where you have to assault a fort. It's a very long level - you defend each region, then move onto the next.

It's this huge environment with all these different region. "There's a level called King's Valley, which is basically an MMO-scale world. "The more offensive and controversial the custom content is, the better." While Palantir is a conventional map, Stieglitz says some of the runner-up entries bend the rules in interesting ways. It's a pretty neat-looking, darker style than you'd typically see in Dungeon Defenders," he says. "It's sort of a Lord of the Rings-inspired tower fortress, very kind of moody, moonlit night that looks like the tower in Mordor. The winner, Palantir, will be adopted as an official ranked Dungeon Defenders map. Stieglitz holds up the winners of Trendy's recent modding contest as examples of what can be accomplished using the already-available mod tools, saying the community has built content that rivals what Trendy itself creates.

Finding, downloading, and installing mods has always been a hassle even for PC gamers who know what they're doing, but now player-created content for Dungeon Defenders will be easily accessible for all. "It is important to us that people can continue to find this game fresh, and supporting the modding community is a good way to do that." Without the easy mod distribution and installation of Steam Workshop, this plan would have a much smaller chance of success.
