Modding in Path of Titans is impressive

- Modding is an external component of the games we play that sometimes seem to be severely under appreciated, specially in some specific genres. They appear to have a mixed reputation between either making games a chaotic mess or being a force that keeps the title alive for a very long time…. And to an extent, both extremes are correct, it all depends on both the game’s popularity and the tools modders have available to them. Ofc this is not black and white in practice; Minecraft and skyrim are well known for their modding scene even tho they don’t possess dedicated modding tools, same with more niche games like Jurassic world evolution 2, Monster Hunter World and Darkest Dungeon to name a few.
Hope you enjoy the video and see you in the next one, stay safe :)

Thanks so much for this video, I really appreciate it. Another thing that's important to mention is the Alderon Games Modding Agreement prohibits modders restricting their mod access via paywalls. There's also a giant modding wiki and loads of tutorials we've made that lowers the barrier to entry for newcomers who don't know anything about Unreal Engine (its currently private but will be made public when the dev kit is made public).
your dedication to helping us modders is beyond appreciated
No way it's jiggy
It's honestly a really sound and well thought out decision to look after your community.
As it allows more content for your audience, and prevents people from taking advantage of them with putting mods behind pay walls.
So we'll done!
I didn't know you had a channel
I appreciate what youre doing for us aspiring modders/developers ♥
when I saw that pot devs showcase mods I was like, "Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat a dev team that doesn't hate their community!!!????"
Isle Devs, "Pah, amateurs! Don't you know you're supposed to treat the community like garbage?"
@@Nezul The Isle devs on their way to ban someone for life just for asking if Magy will viable
Also add, bullying a CZcamsr out of the game just becouse he thinks Anky isn’t garbage
Yea, let's not pretend they *love* their community either, though, considering past events.
@@maverick2560 Yeah I liked the part when the PoT Devs said: "it's crypto time" and invested in crypto currency, truly a moment.
Pot is the best dino survival game for me purely from the freedom it gives.
Not only are modded dinos awesome, but my favorite detail if that you can even tweak the stats of official dinos on your own servers. Dinos like Amargasaurus and Iguadon can have their shortcomings manually fixed by the community.
But the core gameplay experience is still absolute garbage. Combat is awful with no sense of added weight. A lot of dinosaurs still lack unique abilities such as pouncing, grappling, kockdowns, knockbacks, so on and so forth. Questing is absolutely atrocious on all levels and growing & mark-collecting is a time-wasting slog with little end-game payoff.
The PoT devs threw in modding because they know they can't deliver a competent core gameplay experience to make up for it - or at least they won't be able to for a while. There's a reason why the vast majority of their community swapped over to community servers - and it isn't just due to the modding scene. People don't actually want to deal with terrible core gameplay loop, and it really shows.
@@alexs29 knockbacks are already in the game and are still going to be added to more dinosaurs in the combat updates. Grappling and grabbing are also rumored to be added. overall...PoT devs have been rolling out updates like crazy and have even stated that they have a 5-10 year plan for updates.
@alex s, they have a BIG update in a couple days, while the isles update will be in decades, path of titans is better overall
@@alexs29 BS
Thanks for the shoutout on our Geosternbergia and Acrocanthosaur! It means a ton to us. 💪
Acrocanthosaurus looks amazing! :)
PoT devs: gives people what they want, accepts healthy criticism. PoT player base and popularity rising!
That other game: "Surprised Pikachu face"
PoT devs knew what they were doing when they said:Mods give freedom,add dinos,maps and all,lets give it a shot
Its just a great way to show community:whatever you want,we promote it so that helps on keeping the playerbase entertained with new creatures
If all goes well, this game will last for a very good period of time, remember that the devs said they have 5-7 years of support planned for the game, combine this with community servers and modding community, and you have every ingredient to create a game that will last more than a decade.
@@Godisgood007 pretty much but well see
Plus that makes Pot on par with minecrafts modding, maybe in a few decades you can turn Pot into different things with Mods.
its cool how supportive of the modding community the pot dev team is
Thanks for shoutting out Absentia's mods :]
Wanna know why The Isle doesnt have mods anymore? modders would make the game way better then the Devs, and they woul get SUPER salty, since they already cant take normal criticism, imagine seeing someone doing your job better then you ON your job.
Tbh if the Primordial Tyrants team want, they could create an entire new dinosaurs survive game just like The Isle, PoT and BoB if they want, just look at their modded creatures roster and the quality of the mods, they are so good that it hard for new players to notice the different between them and the official dinosaurs.
I never regretted buying Path of Titans. A lot of creatures in mod looking forward
The primordial tyrants team is basically making day of dragons as well they have loads of dragons,drakes and serpents that they will be making in the future and hopefully a new map so we’re basically gonna get a new game inside of a game
Path of Titans is amazing and it's also crazy the amount of modding across the muilple platforms like PlayStation Xbox and mobile I hope to see the game grow further and more mods added
1:33 Hello from Prior Extinction! :)
Pot will definetly live for many, many years to come because of one simple thing that no other dinosaur game has done, mod compatablility.
personally I'm excited for eventual homecave item mods. I want to put a couch and a tv in my dino's house :)
Awesome video, loved it
0:55 haha im impressed to see dinosaur arcade here! It’s my first dinosaur simulator experience and even though it is on Roblox it’s quite fun and not low quality at all
This video was pretty epic ngl and many of these mods are so amazing
The dino game community DESPERATELY needed proper mod support and I'm so happy that PoT supported that need. I can't wait to see what kind of mods are created for this game 5 years down the road.
I personally am excited for the rest of the KTO mods to come out. They did slow the development of some of their animals a bit but I think they are waiting on the release of the next update to go forward a bit more. I really want to play their Tarbosaurus since I believe it will, in my opinion, feel much better than PoT Tyrannosaurus.
Alderon games is one of the best game developers, want to make some cool mods? Sure, we will showcase them to make them more popular! Honestly I’m so shocked and so happy that they actually took the time to get footage AND edit their videos just to show a mod from a team or single person, absolutely brilliant I can’t wait for them to showcase more recent and great mods.
I 100% agree with everything that's just been said. Modding the best thing that the devs of path of titans have ever done. It's gives the game a whole new life and makes the game even more popular because of the endless.amount of creatures that modders can bring to the game. I also think that bringing the game to consoles was a very smart move as well....while also making it accessible to pc players, switch users and mobile. And the decision to do so has made Path of titans accessible to a lot more people than the Isle at this point. Yes the Isle has a strong community, but its only available for pc players, and ever since Path of titans launched on consoles, switch and mobile, the games population has increased probably beyond the devs expectations.
Path of titans has become a dream come true for me. It really has. I'm on the game almost every day, and I'm always in the discord engaging with the games community. This game is slowly but surely getting bigger and bigger, and i know the game is still in its early stages, but if the game is how it is right now, just imagine what it will look like and play like in 10 years time.
The more pterosaurs, the better 👌
You know you're doing something right if you got players looking forward to mods more than your planned editions lmao
We get news and releases about mods more often than we get official content, what did you expect
You dont need to undermine the work of the devs because the community is excited for something else lol, cant we just appreciate the hardwork on all sides of development 😂?
@@Leaf-tf5oo I do appreciate all the developments in the making never said I didn't it's just mods are more exciting and frequent
The best part of it by far is that console players can enjoy the mods too
You should see the rooster plan for the primordial tyrants mod team. They plan to add over 100 dinosaurs to the game, one mod series alone. With all mods combined, we in a few years could have a dinosaur game with hundreds of species, pretty much any known dinosaur in the game!
Definitely not every dinosaur. Would also be a nightmare from a gameplay and balance standpoint, since there's no way to make that many dinosaurs unique. Games already struggle with rosters of around 30. Quality over quantity.
I do still remember that wolf mod on the isle.
Its funny how this genre first was seen in 2013-14 with roblox dino survival games lol.
Even back then i enjoyed the premise.
Pot i def doing a great jon with his game and i love how the developers are so nice and cooperative which in most games having devs doing mod support is very unlikely (if they dont hate mods at all cough cough) i just hope pot had more mechanics, the thing i want the most in fact is combact update
no way he mentioned the Roblox dinosaur survival games...I could cry!
Man dinosaur simulator was really the first simulator they have more thing like the fire.
Zaguer finally mentioned roblox dinosaur survival game.(When gameplay?)
For me I think PoT prioritizes being a game before being a visual masterpiece. The Isle has an issue where the devs will spend a lot of time on a small hand full of creatures to get them incredibly polished but that small handful doesn’t offer a lot in terms of gameplay. They talk about having a ton of neat mechanics/creatures lined up but by the time they get a little polish in, the rebuild all their mechanics after Dondi sees some other Dino game making a cool mechanic. They will have models, sound, animations and so much shit made only for it to be scrapped! They have so many models on hand that are very well designed but will probably forever go unused!! Stick to what you built and change it when the project can actually be called a game! 😂
Only reason im not playing Pot is because of the whole Exp and Quest things. but good on them for make sure that modding is part of the games culture.
Not that big of an issue, most community servers have questless growth on and increased mark rewards from quests, but you do you
@@diogod2347 yeah, had no idea about that. But yeah that's my standpoint, still happy there is competition to the Isle, and that they have a strong modding community.
Im more of a hardcore survival gamer.
And do love rouge element and punishing games. To me then exp and such doesn't fit in.
But if people love it then great, and good for them and I guess even you.
I love the isles nutrient feature for example, and a lot of features it has and shall have.
I'm just feeling it has turned into "Isle citizen".
Mods also keep bringing people back to the game during times where development might be slow: Is a new playable taking ages to make? No worries, Primordial Tyrants just dropped giga!
I wouldn't call games on Roblox "mods", Roblox is like unity, it has its own dev tools. So every game on roblox is their own game, and not a mod. A mod would be adding onto something that already exists, there is no set game for Roblox.
I wish someone would make a Appa like creature for path of titans i wanna be a flying yak but i dont have the skills to make that
I used to play dinosaur simulator on roblox for many hours a week, i always wanted to play the isle after watching vids on CZcams but roblox was the closest I could get. Unfortunately I revisited the game a year or so back and it seems to have lost popularity.
While not perfect, it feels like Path of Titans is the revolutionary dinosaur game.
they really need to fix the desync (teleporting around) during fights.
Thats a lag thing,so players internet affects sadly
@@tigrex3622 Partially yes, but it's half a player's ping, the other half the server's own capacity to handle what is happening inside of it. Isle for example doesn't actually have bad ping, but it has atrocious server capacity/performance, so you end up with funny teleports at times and other odd occurances.
@@multidavid7473 true,although on official servers on PoT lag isnt as bad as it was at least from what ive seen last 4 months since the updates
@@tigrex3622 If the officials are doing well, but unofficials not so much, it might be the servers don't run well and the game needs some performance fixing.
@Tigrex dawg I'm using the fastest internet speeds available (or atleast the fastest from Spectrum), im playing $90 a month for G6 wifi and have a beastly gaming laptop....and STILL the desync is horrible, fights are hard to to. I don't think the issue has to do with the players internet speeds, or even how powerful their device is, but rather the issue is with the game.
I have been enjoying POT a lot mroe than the isle recently.
Most people do for a good reason and it will only get better.
Even tho I very rarely play community servers, the mods are a gigantic upside for the game as a whole.
Bro dinosaur simulator on Roblox was goated
I dont like the monster mods. They break my emersion but the creature mods that arnt monsters are soo good that somtimes i forget whats a mod and what isnt.
I completely agree, but then again, there will always be realistic servers that will only add the real creatures
Poggers
The modding potential and encouragement in PoT is the main reason why I believe it has the best chance out of any of the dinosaur games to succeed. I don't understand the crowd that calls mods "chaotic" at all. Skyrim has plenty of chaotic mods that change the experience to something unintended, but guess what? They're entirely optional. It is the player's choice to add the things that they want to THEIR game. Compare it to something like Dead by Daylight that has zero modding support: the game is good but is stagnating due to poor chapter releases. DbD has a timed life, PoT can potentially live forever. I find myself even going back occasionally to Skyrim and Garry's Mod to this day to check out the new mods.
Ed is looking nuts
im all in for mods that keeps within the setting of the game. Not a fan of mods that for example in pot makes fantasy creatures. i think they should have used that time to make an actuall dinosaur instead. same with skyrim, not a fan of seeing people using their talent on unrealistic mods like anime mods. Games like minecraft i can use gun mods because that game doesnt realy have a setting its set in.
its kinda weird that the modders in pot make better creatures than the actual devs.
I love some of the mods but some stuff is incredibly annoying, such as Z Rex's _chance_ to bone break. It removes any counter play options besides "don't get hit". Unfortunately, most server owners would never understand how important consistency is to combat.
Other than things like that, yeah, the modders are doing some incredible work, and it's always fun seeing new ones.
This is true however this is not a flaw of the POT developers but rather those in charge of making decisions balancing individual servers and creating modded dinosaurs themselves
Who agrees the titanoboa mod should be made
PoT ❤
are you portuguese?
I think whenever someone says that path of titans is the worse and it will likely die out before the rest! Is being really disingenuous and forgetting the crucial part of why that couldn’t be further from the truth! And it’s simply because of mods! Even if proper development should stop right now! The modding community would take over full swing! They have all the tools and resources to keep the player base interested for the years to come!
Skyrim
Come back.
When a kid from roblux creates a better game than the isle "devs"
It really says something about the game when a lot of the modded creatures are higher quality then the actual games creatures. It seems a lot like rather then supporting mods to improve the players time playing the game pot devs are supporting mods to keep their game alive and relying on what they can’t do on modders
Dont wanna be "that guy" but roblox games arent mods, Roblox is an engine like Unity, they are full fledged games. If anything its a massive diservice to call them mods.
the sad thing is it doesn´t matter how many good mods there can be or how good the engine and graphics can be or how good the quests system can become.
Until the combat system is that clunky mess and shit like now, nothing else matter. The game will be bad for me, you actually have nearly no control during a combat and its all about dmg output and numbers.
Yes "it is an MMO" thing i know, then not for me thanks.
The isle is still my only hope. SAD
Pot has been working on a combat overhaul that will be dropping in waves for the next few months
Garbonzo
Modding often ends up being reskins of models and environments without much of any really unique gameplay mechanics being added
Well duh. POT is a way better game lol😂 they let our community actually have an impact
But in all seriousness this is a great video
Never heard you ever talk so glowingly about a game before after watching a dozen of your videos on The Isle. A dinosaur game needs a convincing envirnment, and Titans doesn't even come close. Looks cartoonish like legacy compared to Evrima, which I'll wait for like wine, to age. Because it's potential is much higher with it's more emersive, and convincing environment, which is half the equation IMO. I can't blame them for being small developers, I knew it when I payed 15 bucks for it. When I come back, it's a new game. patience ; )
Its just different playstyles tbh,PoT doesnt even seek realism,it seeks survival with some MMO stuff,thats why theres homecaves and abilities and all,its also way more casual and it helps many players from switch or consoles to get into dino survivals at least at some level,so thats also a plus as to why the game is doing so well rn
"Uhhh, actually, I will ignore what you just presented and I will say that PoT is worse because every dino game needs to have hyperealistic graphics, if it doesn't, it is bad."
@@Godisgood007 people still have their opinions and neither game is objectively better than the other. path and the isle are pretty different games and thats the fun of it. Some people like more realism while others like a more casual playstyle. Personally i just dont like paths combat and quest system. It makes it not feel like a dino game to me, but a lot of people enjoy it and I hope it does well.
@@stickempires2608 The questing system is absolute ass. I disagree with OP about it looking cartoonish though. The graphics are worse, yeah, but they're not even remotely cartoonish.
I'd argue that Path looks significantly better than the isle overall due to the lighting, the isle has, funnily enough, among the worst lighten I've ever seen in a video game which plays a huge factor
nor has the game actively tried making a convincing environment (although I think they do their biomes REALLY well), because it doesn't need one. A game can still do really well without looking hyper-realistic like the isle.
