nexolight Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Apparently one of the more endorsed mods "NPC Bush people" was removed from steam 1-2 days back and let me with the question what just happened? I looked up the last comments in the google web cache but there's no hint about something like this. Then I noticed that the mod steam account has vanished. (http://steamcommunity.com/id/npcswords/) Apparently it is not possible to just delete the steam account. However a VAC ban would not lead to that as well.

ehuhoser Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 not sure what you mean from endorsed, but it was sort of popular and well reason many mods disappear is the mod creator which has nothing to do with WC may have moved on to another game or simply grew tired of trying to update with a dev kit that always changes each update as well. Not sure why its gone it just is what it is I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorium Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Looks like he quit for good. Twitter account is gone, Youtube account is gone. You can request valve to delete your account. Depending on your country companies are required to delete any information about you, if you request it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why its gone it just is what it is I guess. Oh I'm sorry for that. I missinterpreted the meaning of "endorsed" as something which a lot of people like. @Invincibleqc thx for the tagging. I wasn't even aware he has an account here. But if all the Twitter and Youtube account are gone as well it was a personal probably not easy decision driven by something major. I heard he has now an "123" steam profile. That's not good news for the mod. @Swords whatever the reason is I would love to see the mod online again. Maybe under a separated steam account dedicated to development? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masonwest Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 we dont know why he is gone why he left if the mod was this heavily endorsed i wouldnt see a reason to give up he also had a mod called farm bot which i tested had some flaws but was amazing a human npc would go gather resources and then bring em back to a area you placed down would have been great because you could go adventure and when you come back new resources to build craft etc was like city management ark style he claimed last i heard he was going to put it together with NPC bush people like merge em then it just all vanished Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomsaulk Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Dang I just got a new PC set up to play with that mod! Never got the chance. Anyone know how to get a message to him to beg? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GerbilRex Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Yeah, I hate when people abandon and delete mods. Just leave em so people can play! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashtin Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 I feel like I'v missed out on a good mod do to working all the time but I think there is solution see if the dev's can add it to the main game if it was that good of a mod but it was a great Idea for a mod and I think I would have enjoyed it. It added pvp to any single small group player game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allow me to disagree. Removing the steam mod without giving any explanation to those who supported and encouraged its development over the past few years is not a correct attitude. If Sword gave up continuing the development of the mod, he would record this desire and leave the mod on steam for use "at your own risk". And, even deciding to remove the mod from the steam, to warn before and set a deadline for its removal. From the way he acted, he looked very childish. And sorry for my bad english.

Ahetulla Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Ya I have to agree. WildCard probably bought him out. Single Player would be great to play with NPC going about and building their own bases and stuff so we could go to war with them. Sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While Wildcard did not employ the services of @Swords, we do wish him well in whatever endeavors he has decided to move onto. I know a number of the staff enjoyed his mods just as players did.

Though i agree that vanishing like the author did is usually unprofessional, the decision was ultimately between them and any sponsors they had, and not the community. They did not need to do anything more than what they did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thragtusk Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 That's a bummer, I never got a chance to play with the mod, it was on my to do list. Extinction Core also has NPC tribes you can battle or even tame if you so choose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
