Beta Mod SDK Kit, A-Life Updates, and More
GSC Gameworld has outlined several key updates, with a special focus on the Beta Mod SDK Kit and enhancements to the A-Life system. A closed beta with mod makers is planned to test the ModKit before its official release. The developers also aim to integrate Mod.io and Steam Workshop, making modding more accessible and robust.
The A-Life system, crucial for the game's NPC AI and simulation, will see further updates. Following a massive 110 GB update last Christmas, the developers are set to introduce "persistent A-Life improvements" and "smarter human combat; better cover/flanking use, limited grenades."
Mutants will receive new behaviors, including eating corpses and reacting to threats. Additional updates include mutant loot, the ability to skip shader compilation, an enlarged player stash window, support for wide screen aspect ratios, two new unspecified weapons, and continued efforts in stabilization and optimization.
Additionally, fans of the original STALKER trilogy can anticipate a next-gen update. More details on these updates will be shared as their release dates approach.
