I grew up in the age of HL1/HL2 mods. There were thousands of levels, weapons, and full on games being released (shout out to USS Blackstar and Dystopia). But nowadays it seems like most mods are just the stuff mentioned in the title of thread. I assume this largely due to games looking so damn good that modders just cannot compete. Making a full character model in HL1 engine versus Fallout is potentially a day of work versus a month of work. As a result, you just dont see big mods much anymore.
I wonder if that sort of mod scene moved to itchio given the level of effort you would put into a HL1 game can just be put into a smaller complete game. I havent really dived into itchio yet, but I am wondering is there any sort of communities out there that capture the mod/shareware communities of old.
