Hmmm…. I think its best to leave him alone… modders doesn’t really like if you ask them constantly… that will just makes them want to quit.

maybe he’s just busy with life

I'm sorry guys! I just wanted to take the time to create a mod for Life Is Strange: True Colors. I made it, I will post it here soon. After that, I will immediately start updating my mod for GTA III and SA. Or GTA first.

 

[TeleTubby666]

Please just take all the time it takes and don’t let anyone put you under pressure!

I really appreciate your work. Thank you very much!

 

[haoyang1234]

[ecl0674]

If I can. I'll look later. Now I'm busy with another game.

I just finished transferring my mod to GTA Vice City for the new game update 1.0.6 and I want to say that I am very surprised! The developers apparently managed to reduce the load on the CPU and now even without overclocking there are almost no friezes when driving! And with overclocking it’s just really smooooth!
I feel very shitty right now. I will update my mod later (hopefully tomorrow).
