ReadyCode

New patch for Baldur's Gate 3 is a huge success for Larian Studios. We asked our COO and co-founder, Michał Szklarski, for comments on the case: "The patch introducing mods to Baldur's Gate 3 is a great example of how #UGC can breathe new life into a game released some time ago. Over a million mods downloads in less than 24 hours and more than 140,000 concurrent players on the Steam platform demonstrate the power of mods in video games. I hope this success makes other developers realize how important community-generated content is."

Our COO and co-founder, Michał Szklarski, spent the weekend at #RDC24 in California. It’s always awesome to connect with others and dive into the latest trends in UGC!

It was an incredibly successful week at gamescom! 👾 This year we had the opportunity to represent ReadyCode at a Polish booth in the business area, organized by the Polish Creative Industry Promotion Program. When we asked people how their gamescom was going, 90% of the time we heard one word: Busy. This #gamescom was indeed an intense yet fruitful event, full of new possibilities and opportunities for growth and collaboration on exciting projects. 🕹️ We also feel that a new era and significant changes are on the horizon for multiplayer gaming. Special thanks to Timothee Engel for the productive discussions during the event! We had the pleasure of meeting with our partners—mod.io, Overwolf, Scenario, Unity, PRAGMA, Hathora, Game Industry Conference, Reforged Labs (YC W22), Arcweave, and PlayMakers. Thank you all for the time spent together. We look forward to seeing you next year at gamescom! ❤️ #gamescom2024 #gamesindustry #modding

There is an issue with Bethesda's Doom and Doom II remasters and the #modding community. We asked our co-founder and COO, Michał Szklarski, for a brief comment on the situation: "This situation with Bethesda's Doom remaster mod browser perfectly illustrates why implementing in-game #UGC support requires careful planning and execution. While it's encouraging to see major publishers recognizing the value of UGC, this example highlights the pitfalls of not leveraging the expertise of established mod hosting platforms like mod.io or Overwolf 🔜 Gamescom's CurseForge."
