Multiplayer doesn’t have to be built on day one. Today, I’m joined by Michael Szklarski, Co-Founder of ReadyM, who explains how community-driven multiplayer mods have transformed games like GTA V and why the future of gaming may belong to player-created experiences.
From the origins of GTA multiplayer mods and FiveM to Black Myth: Wukong, Oblivion Remastered, Minecraft, Roblox, Skyrim, and Hytale, this conversation explores how UGC (User-Generated Content), modding, and multiplayer communities can dramatically extend a game’s lifespan.
Whether you’re a game developer, publisher, aspiring game designer, or modder, you’ll learn how successful games evolve into long-lasting platforms, why some games attract thriving modding communities while others don’t, and what it takes to build the next generation of community-powered games.
