It’s very nice to see the process is even easier now, especially with the nice addition of the “error dawg” who appears within the modding tool to bark at you if you’ve made mistakes. In fact, I recall modding (with my very limited skills) the original Victoria over a decade ago and downloading tonnes of user-created stuff from the Paradox forums back then. Paradox’s grand strategy games are well known for being incredibly moddable, and the developer has been hosting and encouraging a large modding community long before it was a very mainstream thing to do among big developers.
One of the screenshots from the post, very clearly showing the Unity desktop environment. Of course, what’s particularly interesting to us is that all these screenshots are clearly on Ubuntu, which not only means we’ll have the modding tools running natively, but it seems to indicate that there’s devs over at Paradox who are using Linux for development beyond porting. Essentially, it’s showcasing some pretty exciting modding capabilities which mean that - for the first time - it can be done through a GUI rather than sifting through the game folders. I’m not going to include the entire post on here since it’s pretty hefty, but for those looking for further details, it can be found here.
Release does seem close now though, as shown in an article published by BTRE. However, it’s still exciting to see screenshots of Linux on official development posts, especially when the contents of the posts themselves are pretty interesting.įor those unaware, Hearts of Iron IV is the latest instalment of Paradox Development Studio’s WW2 themed grand strategy game, which has been in development for some time and seen a number of delays. It’s no secret that Paradox Interactive has been on the forefront of Linux gaming as both a publisher and developer of games.
