Phil here. Just wanted to provide a quick update on what we've been working on since our last weekly update. We've been really heads down on development of our next update, so I'll keep this brief (for now) but I (or Thomas) will be back soon with a more in-depth update with a lot more details on what's happening.
For now, here's the high level view:
Created a basic working version of the Dynamic Quest system
Progress made on an internal design tool we are using for the Event system and designing events
Began work on implementing a new UI (the new primary HUD is now working in the game and in combat, we're now working on adding in the ability to cast spells in combat)
Continued to refactor the stat system
More conversation event examples written for testing
Added 2 new members to the team (Lucas, our new artist, and Sammi, a new additional game designer)
Honed in on our implementation of Scrum in order to iterate on our processes and improve rapidly
A new stained glass shader working in game for... UI reasons...
Started work on a new dice rolling interface
As someone leading the new UI development, I must say that the new HUD gives so much more breathing room for the art to shine, and while it's still a while yet until it is released, I'm really excited for it!

Collectible lore with a twist - you don't care about the lore? Fine, just enjoy the experience & other bonuses from collecting it - we can't afford wasting development resources!
Community oriented development - we want YOU to have a say regarding which features come first, give us ideas and vote for the kind of stuff you want to see in the game before we fully release it!
Still under development - aside from being bugged, unbalanced and half-baked, this means we can end up with a zombie-shoot'em'up by release, provided you manage to convince enough players to vote for such features!
News that Baldur's Gate 3 will get official modding support:
Community Update #27 Official Modding Support
Hey everyone,
We come bringing news of Patch 7!
Finally, we hear you say - but don't get ready to throw yourself into our next patch just yet, we've got a lot of work to do to bring you our first iteration of modding tools, evil endings, plus a whole bunch of fixes, quality of life improvements, and more that we'll go into detail about in a future Community Update!
Coming to you this September, the next major update for Baldur's Gate 3 will also introduce an officially sanctioned toolkit for giving Lae'zel a mullet. I mean, sure, go for it. You only live once.
As we mentioned in our last Community Update, we want you to have the opportunity to test out Patch 7 and the Baldur's Gate 3 Toolkit so you can share your feedback with us before it goes live!
Patch 7 testing is now being split into a two-phase process, which begins with working closely with a small team of mod authors from the community. This is our closed alpha stage, where they'll be able to help us further develop the modding tools, and have a go at bringing their existing mods to life using our Baldur's Gate 3 Toolkit.
The closed alpha is set to kick off today, June 3rd, and we'll be inviting more mod authors to take part over time.
Come July, we'll be opening registration for a further closed beta, capped at roughly 1,000 players, that anyone on PC can go ahead and sign up for - and we want you to test the mods created during the alpha!
With the intention of working through your feedback throughout the summer, it will give us time to polish off Patch 7 ready for release in September. In the meantime, we still have plenty coming your way, including some anniversary extravagance as we look back on the months since release. We're also still pressing on with the development of an in-game photo mode, crossplay, and more fixes that will arrive later down the line!
Catch up on what's coming in Patch 7 and view a teaser for the improved evil endings by reading our last Community Update here.
For now, we want to give you a little insight into what official modding tools mean for Baldur's Gate 3, and have put together an FAQ that aims to answer some of your burning questions!
Dualshockers reports that the fan-made Fallout 2 remake Project Arroyo intends to launch on Steam:
Fallout 2 Fan Remake Project Intends To Launch On Steam
Steam is simply the most efficient solution.
HIGHLIGHTS
Project Arroyo is a fan-made remake of Fallout 2 in Fallout 4's engine.
The team plans to launch the mod on Steam for easier access and updates, similar to Enderal for Skyrim.
With over 100 volunteers, Project Arroyo features original content like voice acting and music.
Project Arroyo is a collaborative fan-made remake of Fallout 2 in Fallout 4's creation engine. Development on the mod is full-steam ahead with the team regularly posting updates on X (formerly Twitter) on the mod's progress.
In an interview with TheGamer, project lead Damien Daponte spoke about reimagining Fallout 2 as an open-world, fleshing out the game's setting of San Francisco and how the team intends to handle the mod's launch.
"I'm leaning towards doing what Enderal: Forgotten Stories did and putting it on Steam," Daponte says. Enderal is a total conversion mod for Skyrim, an open world with an original narrative, with "believable characters and psychological undercurrents."
