The Witcher 3 Mod Tool Backlash

The release of mod tools on Friday for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt raised questions from fans of the series who were hoping for a more feature-rich editing platform like the REDkit released for The Witcher 2. CD Projekt RED community lead Marcin Momot tweets a reply saying: "@MeerMusik This is the mod support for the Wild Hunt. At this moment we are not planning to release anything else." Polygon recaps some of the backlash from users, and points to the IGN interview from January where Marcin Iwinski promised the REDkit by name, saying: "It's a single-player experience all the way, but we are looking to release the REDkit sometime after the game launches for the modding community. This way, people can create their own adventures, and this will inevitably add a lot of fun and replayability to the game." Thanks Verno.

Out of the Blue

I busted out the shears and gave the Gunnar-man another haircut yesterday. This was just in time, as it was hot then, but far hotter today, so he's much better suited to be comfortable right now and through the remainder of the summer. Unfortunately, along the way I managed to snip off a tiny bit of skin when trimming around his ears, and I honestly can't believe he's still willing to be in the same room with me after that. But he's an amazingly good sport, and seemed to forget about it right away, not just forgiving me, but even letting me near him with the scissors again after. Just call me the butcher barber.
