NEO Scavenger Survival Game Adds Mod Support & More

By - | Views: 9,688

NEO Scavenger is a fantastic little game from Blue Bottle Games that blends survival with turn-based mechanics making for an interesting game.

About
NEO Scavenger is a game where you must survive in the wasteland long enough to figure out who you are. Each turn, you must decide where to go, how to scavenge for supplies, and how to deal with anything and anyone you encounter. And with each passing minute, the pit in your stomach grows, your dehydration worsens, your muscles tire, and your body temperature drops in the cold autumn air. Choose your starting abilities carefully, because they and your wit are the only tools you have in the apocalypse!

The most recent new version which is an opt-in beta adds amongst other things Mod Support!
QuoteSeriously, this is as much a surprise to me as it may be to you. I've been exploring different ways to bypass Flash's security limitations, but haven't had much luck. However, in the past week or two, I found a way to make the downloadable versions load external data from the file system.

It turns out that Flash's projector format will allow limited loading of local files. It has to be packaged a certain way, and I had to do some voodoo to make it work across all three platforms. However, the game now loads data from an XML text file, and images from a folder. No more flaky editing of EXE files!

"Now what?" you ask? Well, I'll have to write some documentation to help intrepid modders understand the data format. For now, though, just poke around. Some of it should be pretty intuitive.

Sadly, yes it is a Flash game, but don't let that put you off trying it.

Along-side that it received a heap of bug-fixes.

You can actually play the demo right in your browser here, to test before you buy it.

Buy it from these joints:
Buy it directly for both Steam & Desura keys + DRM free on release.
