[h1]El Presidente announces Modding Edict! - News for a select group of Tropicans[/h1] [i]Dear Tropicans,[/i] The [u][b]Tropican Ministry of World Domination and Garden Plots (short: The TM of WoDoGaP)[/b][/u] is spilling the beans for you, our Community. The Ministry of Development and Binary Magic is working closely with the new TM of WoDoGaP and are looking for Tropicans who feel capable of assisting El Presidente in making Tropico the greatest nation there has ever been. [i]El Presidente has decided to approve official modding support and YOU can be one of the first to actually create an El Presidente approved Tropico 6 Mod and let your imagination run wild.[/i] Our Tropico 6 Team is currently planning to start an exclusive workshop with the ‘Operation Garden Gnome' Modding Workshop. For this, [b]we want to recruit a small group of Binary Magicians who have some previous experience with modding, programming or asset creation[/b], to participate in our workshop and [b]try the ‘Operation Garden Gnome' Tools firsthand[/b]. Please keep in mind, that you would be working with the actual developer tools and not an editor. In this test run, you will receive access to our in-development toolkit prior to its official launch, as well as an exclusive closed section of our Discord hub with videos and direct support from our dev and our CM team. [b]When is all of this happening and how do I participate?[/b] If you would like to participate, [b]please apply via email to modding@kalypsomedia.com[/b] with a link to 1-3 examples of your previous modding work along with your Discord tag, so we can invite you to the server and grant you access to the exclusive area for the workshop as well as the toolkit. [b]Applications will close on the 18th of April,[/b] so if you want to take part in this next step for Tropico 6, please make sure to drop us an email before that day. [b]The workshop will officially kick off on April 26th.[/b] [b]We know that modding is something the community really wishes for, and we see how much value it adds to a game; be that by allowing the community to express themselves creatively or feel involved in expanding the games they love.[/b] We want to support the community with our ‘Operation Garden Gnome’ in taking the first steps with our modding tools, and to provide the opportunity to create the Tropico you want. To honor the Binary Magicians who put a lot of time and effort into creating mods for the community, we will be spotlighting your awesome mods on our channels and giving the modders special discord roles as badges of honor for their hard work. [i]Sincerely yours, The Tropican Ministry of Development and Binary Magic and The Tropican Ministry of World Domination and Garden Plots[/i]
