Football is so 12th Century. Thank God for Rocket League, which took soccer and remodeled it into flying rocket automobile daftness. The onward march of human progress didn’t cease there, nevertheless. Modders have since remodeled Rocket League into flight fight sims, impediment programs, and Quidditch.
It’s all spectacular, however I’m most enamoured with the work of professional participant “Lethamyr”, who moonlights as a modder turning Rocket League into pinball, pool, beer pong and prop hunt.
Here’s YouTuber “SunlessKhan” getting a tour of 9 mod maps from the person himself. I’ve skipped midway via so that you soar straight into the pinball, although the entire vid is value a watch (regardless of Khan being far too eager on the phrase insane).
The ideas for every map are beautiful, however my favorite elements are the jury-rigged controls. To make pool work you need to fly over to a separate desk and drive right into a cue ball occupying the place you need the true cue ball to look in. People making games do issues they’re not imagined to will all the time be wild. Especially Lethamyr’s pièce de résistance, his prop hunt citadel.
One participant disguises themself by driving right into a prop of their alternative, then tucks themself right into a nook of a citadel that appears extra like a Quake map than a Rocket League one. It’s identical to the Garry’s Mod model, besides with chase sequences. It appears to be like completely pleasant. Here’s Lethamyr’s guide on methods to get customized maps working.
There’s loads extra the place that got here from. Here’s SunlessKhan testing a mod that elevates rocket automobiles into fighter jets, out there here.
Khan’s additionally accomplished some tamer however nonetheless neat experiments, like adding curveballs and a Fifa-style camera. I like how he simply wants to achieve out to modders with concepts they usually’re instantly throughout it.
Moving on, right here’s an impediment course, proven off by French YouTuber “Tequilaz” as a result of I discovered all of the English-speaking YouTubers too grating. This is the mod that the majority makes me need a go, although getting it working seems a hassle.
Let’s spherical issues of with some Quidditch, courtesy of modder “glhglh”. At the second it’s only a map with hoops, although there are plans to provide the automobiles spells and completely different roles.
I’ve simply scratched the floor. The Steam Workshop has Hide & Seek, a Portal map, and skate parks. What a time to be a automobile.
