I’ve been receiving some mail:

 
Adam:
“Just emailing you regarding a new mod that was released Sunday 20th Sept 2009 called Korsakovia (HL2). It’s the fourth instalment of projects designed by Dan Pinchbeck, creator of the award winning Dear Esther (HL2).”

At the end of April I was asked to partake, for the first time, in an upcoming CNCNZ Roundtable Discussion, number nineteen overall and the second time they’ve done a Command & Conquer Modding Special. Also on the panel for this edition were Banshee, Mastermind, Koen, Blbpaws, Mighty BOB!, jonwil, Smurf Bizkit and Golan.

The questions were devised by Banshee from Project Perfect Mod and covered the recently released Red Alert 3 Mod SDK aswell as some more general questions regarding C&C modding and specific mods.

In this month’s issue of British magazine Total PC Gaming (#18) they have a double-paged spread in their mod section on Red Alert which includes short text pieces and a screenshot of seven Red Alert 2 mods and text-only pieces on one map each for Red Alert, Red Alert 2 and Red Alert 3.
My mod, It Came From Red Alert! was one of the mods included.
