And now for something completely different..! I'm pleased to announce the launch of Dungeon Defenders Nexus which I hope will be a helpful resource for Dungeon Defenders players and mod authors.

It might come as a surprise to be launching this site so close to the launch of Skyrim but I have Dungeon Defenders to thank for helping me retain my sanity while we all wait for Skyrim to come out and I've clocked countless hours already levelling up all my characters. If you haven't heard of Dungeon Defenders it's a highly addictive new game that mixes elements of tower defense maps with action RPGs for an extremely fun experience either solo or co-op with up to 4 players online. The idea is to place towers in strategic positions across a map to defend your core against continually spawning waves of monsters. You control a hero who brings his own talents and skills to the fray, who can gain experience that will help him to level up (in typical action RPG fashion) and aquire bigger and better items. If you like tower defense maps or action RPGs like Diablo then you'll want to give this game a try.

I absolutely love tower defense maps and spent a lot of my gaming time at university playing Warcraft 3 TD maps (Zoator, anyone?), so when I heard the Dungeon Defenders devs were planning to make the game open source to modders, and that the modding potential was practically limitless, I couldn't help but want to make a Nexus site for this great game.

The game is supposed to be going open source for mod authors to bite their teeth in to some time this week. At which point the Unreal Development Kit (UDK) will become useful and mod authors will be able to add and change practically anything and everything within the game. The modding potential for this game is huge and I look forward to seeing what the community can come up with.

A word on open vs. ranked play for Dungeon Defenders players. Ranked play is supposed to be free of user modifications and cheating and, as such, we will not be supporting any sort of modding or cheating that affects ranked play until Trendy Entertainment tell us otherwise. Similarly, Trendy have made their position on cheating very clear on their forums and we will not support any methods for cheating that are not recognised by Trendy. This means you can use the UDK (when released) to cheat as much as you want, but if you use third-party tools that are not supported or approved by Trendy you risk losing your account. You have been warned!

In brighter news, Trendy have expressed an interest in getting some of the best mods patched in to the full release of the game as supported game modes (which might well enable your mods to be VAC-enabled/cheat protected), which I think is a great gesture. I look forward to seeing how that develops.

If you need any help feel free to use our Dungeon Defenders forums. Happy modding!

Can't wait to see what the community can come up with

On a little sidenote: I was wondering... Is Image Share up already? I can't seem to upload anything.

Give it a go now, Yossh

I wasn't sure about this game, I'll have a look, it's only a tenner so worth taking a chance.

Here's a YouTube link to the Official Release Trailer.

Well, that was unexpected.
I'll definitely get it. It looked fun on a few gameplay videos, and I'm sure it is a lot more fun playing it.

Simple question:

How is the current stage of implementing the cross-site log-in?

This is now somewhat relevant with 7 Nexus-Sites and the Forum.



Going Premium in the near future for even more site-supporting.

Well, here's another game that will need to be added to the Nexus Mod Manager!

Saw it earlier, and think it is a wonderful addition. I might even get this one to play with.

Good job boss !
