Manor Lords is doing fairly dang nicely, huh? It crushed it on concurrents to the tune of 100,000 medieval landowners in its first day alone, due to being a surprisingly steady early entry metropolis builder with quite a bit going for it. Apart from mods, that’s.
See, Manor Lords would not have official mod assist but—but when you recognize something about modders, you may know that will not cease them. A VR mod cropped up near-immediately, inflicting the game’s developer to marvel on the technological achievement.
However simply since you gaming scientists may, doesn’t suggest any of you stopped to ask your self whether or not you must.
Modder and green man fanatic ProudBavaria on Twitter, full of a dedication I can solely describe as eldritch, has summoned Shrek the ogre into Manor Lords to dwell a lifetime of pastoral bliss. Judging by the screams of his peasants, it is not going nicely.

Regardless of the horror of an ogre (who I am instructed squeeze the jelly out of your eyes, which is allegedly fairly good on toast) rampaging about their little hamlet, the game’s developer Greg Styczeń appears nicely happy. “This made my day in the present day,” he wrote on Twitter, including that whereas “modding is not formally supported but, [you] cannot deny the potential after seeing this.”
I imply, pay attention—it is an inevitability that each game can have Shrek, Thomas the Tank Engine, or some horrific amalgamation of each modded into it. Sq. pegs jammed into spherical holes. Nonetheless, I will be a no-fun pedant and spotlight {that a} lore-accurate model of this mod would additionally contain an entire gameplay overhaul.
Shrek’s defining character trait is that he, for essentially the most half, is a crotchety creature that wishes to be left alone. Regardless of the place of energy afforded to a medieval lord on the time, the fixed calls for of the peasantry to, say, cease filling the streets with corpses and eggs would seemingly drive the poor sod to insanity. The mechanical modifications would flip it from a metropolis builder to a horror game.
What I am saying is, we’d like a Lord Farquaad mod. Bonus factors should you get to experience on the shoulders of your men-at-arms.
