Although started by developers, BeamNg has a modding team it encourages to even allow for more tweaks. One of the major selling points is creating a more realistic vehicle crash situation using a soft-body physics model. Mods are done mainly by fans or players of the game, and unless game creators approve them, they remain unofficial.īeamNG.Drive (shortened to BeamNG) was first released in 2013 by developers BeamNG GmbH (a limited liability company from Germany) as a tech demo but was available in 2015 as Early Access. These changes, in turn, extend the shelf-life or replay value of the game. Mods are alterations that might range from a bit of tweak to a complete overhaul of the game. As a gaming company, you don't want your customers to play your games for a few months only after investing millions of dollars on updates. One of the significant drawbacks of the gaming world is the shelf-life. Companies involved in game creation try to outdo each other and even themselves with new updates. The gaming world has garnered so much interest in recent decades (two at least) as software engineers and programmers continue to develop new and exciting ways to keep game lovers glued and addicted to them.
