Rage Will Ship With Modding Tools - Modders Rejoice


Despite John Carmack’s reservations in the past about modding tools for games in the future( he has said that with game engines getting a lot more complex, the bedroom modder will just not have the resources to mod games… I’m paraphrasing), Rage will ship with modding tools and a level editor for the PC. Creative Director Tim Willits revealed to PC Gamer that even though ‘building levels from scratch is more difficult’, you’ll still have the full suite id used.He explained “because we have a layer system in some of the levels. I can foresee somebody modding up Wellspring (a town in-game) and adding different characters, giving them different voice-over.” But if you’ve got the development skills to use it, the level editor will be there. “It’s built into the engine”. Good to see they haven’t given up on an id tradition.
