🦂 Scarab design reveal (Pt. 3) is live! on @tibsunrising.bsky.social
A Nod unit built for chaos: adaptive, evasive, and unpredictable.
Repurposes weapons mid-fight, vanishes underground, then strikes again.

GDI INTEL — Classification Failure
The Scarab adapts mid-battle, shifting roles and disengaging at will.
A heavy unit that behaves like something far more elusive — and very Nod.

🛰️ Tiberian Sun Rising — Part 2 is live
A previously deleted data fragment has restored.
What it shows doesn’t align with earlier recon or known configs.
Interference… or something more deliberate?

Our team put a ton of effort into this configurable, customizable mod browser, enabling studios to seamlessly tailor it to their game for a high-quality UGC experience.
The goal? Fast, efficient implementation with flexible theming for effortless mod support
Excited to see teams make it their own!
Poured a lot of work into this over last two years with the dev team in my prior role as Product Owner at mod.io go get the Unreal plug-in and add mod support already to your game! (Or use the C++ SDK if your custom engine). Cross-platform mod support at its finest!
