A message from Ino:
As many, or very few, of you may know, this project is all about modding. Even the start of this project was much less to do with Minecraft, and more to do with the amazing things people created, and giving them the power, and support needed to take things further. Our own game is built on the API that sits on the engine, utilizing this same tools that you all have access to (or at least will by this next update)… idk how much more modder friendly than that you can get… well, yea, actually I have a pretty solid idea how you can do that, you put the founder of Feed The Beast as the director of mods, on the project - *high five*
The value in community and integrity that FTB holds is astounding. Their very existence came from a desire to give recognition to modders in the community, while others did not even ask permission for things like map packs. This consideration of modders, as developers, has lead to a deep connection between player, developer and content creator; and everything learned from this is invaluable to us and this project as a whole.
While the founder of FTB, Slowpoke (@slowpoke101), will be a formal member of Nerd Kingdom, FTB will of COURSE remain independent and Nerd Kingdom will give no directive to how they do things. As a matter of fact, we will find ways to support and expand on their work, even for the Minecraft community. And the first major steps in doing this, is open dialog and discussion to get to the bottom of what people actually need to get things done on their own projects. We will be actively looking for ways to help support modders and their projects. We will share more details on the “how” in a later update.
On the game and tech side of things, we are in the bug squashing process, getting ready for another big update that will hit early next month. We will post some more videos on things to come on our youtube channel. And as always, if you are interested in keeping up with development, we post progress reports to our trello here
And you can see FTB official announce here
