Alien Isolation Needs a Workshop

[Arby]

i know the game is pretty old and ababdoned but i really wish there was a way to have a steam workshop working just like Halo Mcc

Every PC game should have a workshop. Mods are what make PC gaming so superior to any other platform.

...although in Alien Isolation's case there would barely be anything in it.

Alien Isolation actually has quite a few mods, but the modding community is small and tends to stick to certain corners of Discord (mainly PsychoHypnotic's server).

Here are a few of the mods that can be found:

Kitty Isolation - a hardcore mod that enhances all the enemies (sprinting Joes, ultra-aggressive alien, super-sharp humans) and makes many other minor alterations

Kitty's Nightmare - a harder version of Kitty Isolation, with additional or more persistent enemies in most missions

Smoke Isolation - a multiple alien mod with a focus on stealth using smoke bombs

Super Revolver - a multiple alien mod where the aliens can be made to retreat with a single revolver hit (not as easy as it sounds)

Alien Incineration - an infinite flamethrower mod with multiple aliens and a few surprises (also much harder than it sounds)

No% - removes the ability to use any weapons or tactical items, with the option for an extra alien in some missions.

Invisible Alien - makes the alien and facehuggers invisible

Alien Congregation - the original multiple aliens mod, with no other changes to the normal game (but with an optional patch to skip mission 9 and run during spacewalks)

im still waiting for the No Lights Mod and the OpenCage featuring custom maps

All I want is something like Alias Isolation but without tanking the framerate on AMD cards (it's an issue caused by recent drivers)

Can you not roll back to some ancient drivers or something?

Couldn't it cause issues to other games?

It could I suppose, but you'd just be using them to finish Isolation then going back to the modern ones.

would it ever be possible to change the skins/sound effects for A:I? Like Mr.X replaces working joes; or Pyramid Head replace alien and/or nemesis replaces Alien?

You can do that in pretty much any game but it takes an awful lot of work to make it look good. You need to make new animations and whatnot, so it needs to be done by someone who knows what they're doing.

I believe there's a mod that replaces the alien with Thomas the Tank Engine

It's possible to edit the working Joe textures but I think the model has to remain the same shape. The alien is more complex so it's hard to edit the model apart from its colour.

OpenCage is about the best tool to the game. It pretty much lets you edit EVERYTHING

[Dave]

There's also nexus mod station

Would also like an easier implementation of Alias Isolation without all the faff. The poor AA of this game is really starting to show now. Constantly shimmering everywhere. Its a shame it never shipped with TAA in the first place.

The textures could do with an update too, other than that its still an impressive looking game even today
