Discover the world of NieR: Automata like never before with a new multiplayer mod created by dedicated fans of the franchise. Recently, the mod's first PvP tournament was live-streamed on Twitch, offering players a chance to engage in thrilling multiplayer battles within this beloved single-player game. I had the privilege of participating in the tournament and interviewing the lead developer, Jasper3108. Here's what he had to say: Niche Gamer: Can you provide some insight into the mod? This innovative project allows players to experience PvP interactions in a game that was originally designed for solo play. What inspired you to create this mod? Jasper: When I started working on the mod, there were already existing multiplayer projects like Nier MP or Automata MP. These early initiatives, including one by Praydog, laid the groundwork for our current mod. My initial focus was on creating a version that could be used for speedrunning, where players could see each other as ghosts without directly interacting. Niche Gamer: How did your project differ from previous attempts at multiplayer mods for NieR? Jasper: While drawing inspiration from previous projects, we took a different approach by utilizing Rust instead of C++ for programming. This change allowed us to implement unique features like input-based netcode, ensuring that players on different computers could synchronize their actions accurately. Niche Gamer: How many people were involved in developing this mod? Jasper: The core team consists of myself, Izardy, and Ken, with additional support from others like Moses. Together, we have dedicated significant time and effort to bring this project to life. Niche Gamer: What sets your mod apart in terms of gameplay experience? Jasper: Unlike traditional multiplayer setups, our mod operates on a peer-to-peer basis, focusing on transmitting button inputs rather than player positions or health stats. This design choice aims to reduce latency and enhance the competitive nature of the battles. Niche Gamer: Are there plans to continue improving the mod in the future? Jasper: Absolutely. While the mod is still a work in progress, we are committed to addressing any issues and enhancing the overall stability and functionality. We want players to enjoy a seamless multiplayer experience within the NieR universe. Niche Gamer: Thank you for sharing your insights, Jasper. Your dedication to this project is truly commendable.
