Crash To Desktop - 2 Months In

It's been a long few weeks between wrapping up for the winter and stocking up on food, being ill and working behind the scenes, but now I'm finally able to sit down and write.

I'm sure most of you were expecting to see our round up of Insomnia 44 by now, it was planned to go up this time last week, but looking at the calendar I realised something, this week marks the '2 months in' date of Crash To Desktop going live, and seeing as this is the last month of the year, I thought I'd write something special instead...

What I will be doing is a 'story so far' from my perspective and a look forward to what we have planned for the future - Read on for the full story

CTD needs you

As you know news has been a bit lacking on Crash To Desktop as of late, problem is it's only me writing it most of the time, and sometimes life can be a tad busy...

Here is a good time to help us back - we are looking for basically 'News Minions' to rummage around the internet to find us 'quite interesting' news and report it back on CTD, if you do it frees up my time to do other things straight away - magical wonderful things.

If you are interested in filling the post drop something in the comments below and we will chat..

Must remember to make 'Jobs' page - *goes to put on the 'to do' list*

DmC drops in with more game play footage

 

With Ninja Theory recently calming but yet confusing fans that the game is not a complete reboot but set in an alternate universe to the original series - looking at the above footage this 'Dantenate' sure has some moves.

More Skyrim modding incoming!

After the recent uproar from gamers following the first ninja patch from Bethesda for Skyrim which invalidated any modding of the exe files, Bethesda has given us some frankly AWESOME news.

Bethesda and Valve have been beavering away in their collective cubby holes to bring us the Steam workshop Creation kit. An easy one stop shop for all the mods for Skyrim. There'll be a new wikki page and videos to be released in January to teach us all how the use the same programmes the devs used to create the missions in Skrim, so we can all use our creative talents and make an already huge game even bigger! What this will mean for sites such as SkyrimNexus, who knows?

So, anything special you'd like to see made for the game?
