http://www.pcgamer.com/discord-launches-verified-servers-for-game-developers-and-publishers/
The makers of chat-and-other-stuff software Discord announced a new feature today called Verified Servers, which as the name suggests gives developers and publishers their very own official Discord servers. Verified servers will be run entirely by game companies, and are meant to give players a place to "get official news and updates, engage with devs, and connect with other likeminded fans."

Brutal Doom is a mod that influenced id Software while creating the latest DOOM game, and has spanned multiple similar mods for other games. There was a Brutal Duke Nukem under development, and today DaisyFlower released Brutal Quake. Titled as Qore – catchy name – this mod aims to be the “Brutal” mod for Quake.

WSGF’s forum member, anteronoid, has released a FOV mod for Middle-earth: Shadow of War. This mod uses CheatEngine in order to increase/decrease the game’s FOV. Now since this is a single-player game, we believe it won’t get you into any trouble. Still, you will use it at your own risk.

Fallout 4 mod lets you punch NPCs unconscious and then carry them around in a sack

Apart from stealth games that allow for non-lethal attacks, unconsciousness is a bit of a rarity in games. And in Fallout 4, NPCs basically have two states: alive or dead. But sometimes you just want to knock someone out, especially while using fists or a non-lethal weapon. Thankfully, the Knockout Framework mod is here to sing Fallout 4's NPCs a violent yet soothing lullaby.

Hidetaka "Swery" Suehiro announced his new project, The Good Life, in August, and took it to Fig in early September in a quest for $1.5 million in funding. That campaign ends today and despite his stature as a game maker, it's going to fall far short of its goal. It ain't over 'til it's over, as the man said, but the campaign is currently sitting at $557,000, barely a third of its goal, with just a few hours left on the clock.
