I'm flying away to Poland today for the weekend, but before I go I can proudly...

I finally moved my lazy ass to create a full retexture of everything in Save Our Ship 2. It was a glorious and huge undertaking, we're talking hundreds of textures that needed to be remade - but it's for a good cause. I wanted to play with SoS2 for a long time, but textures were always keeping me from trying: I like my mods b...

I come to you bearing gifts, the truly beautiful gifts from right under my brush. Gifts that I technically made for myself because I needed them to play with SoS2, but I guess sharing is caring so the mod will be uploaded to the workshop on my birthday, this sunday.
The mod in question is a full rete...

This is a bit different: as this devblog is not about a mod that's being developed by Vanilla Expanded. Instead, I'm helping out Kikohi and Isorex (two VE members) on their own endeavour, a brand new mod called RimSpace.
I don't know much about their mod, but what I know is that it's...

Welcome to a brand new development blog entry. We've been hard at work on Psycasts Expanded, and majority of the framework is now in place. In fact, we can already see all the UI ingame! The mod is really moving ahead fast.
