Pop Smoke Developer Blog & ModDB Awards
Our Developer Website 'Pop Smoke Games' is now live and is home to our development blog which will showcase general updates on Pop Smoke, the team currently developing 'In Country: Vietnam' for 'Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad'.
We get a lot of interest and various questions asking 'what we are working on' and 'if we are still active'. The answer is always YES! but we are aiming to be more professional with our press releases and media output related to 'In Country: Vietnam'. This is partly because many of us have worked on past projects that showed a lot of content and material way too early in development, and for one reason or another, we weren't able to keep that feature in game.
We are not intending this to be a formal PR outlet, do not expect really awesome new videos of finished products or anything, as well as some things we spend time on might not pan out so won't make it to the final release.
It's also that time of year again. You might have noticed that it's the 10th annual ‘Mod of the Year’ awards, celebrating all that is great about the modding community.
Even though we are still in the middle of development we would very much like to be featured as one of the 'best upcoming mods'. So if you like what you've seen of 'In Country: Vietnam' so far please vote for us and help spread the word!
