Jurassic Park mod for Half-Life 2, Jurassic Life, is playable from start to finish + new gameplay trailer
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/jurassic-park-mod-for-half-life-2-jurassic-life-is-playable-from-start-to-finish-new-gameplay-trailer/
The team behind Jurassic Life, a Jurassic Park mod for Half-Life 2, has announced that the game is playable from start to finish. In order to celebrate this announcement, the team has also released a new gameplay trailer.
In Jurassic Life, you play as warden Robert Muldoon who was hired to keep order in the quite extraordinary Jurassic Park, located on Isla Nublar. Naturally, this will be a first-person shooter in which you can encounter most of the iconic dinosaurs. Moreover, the story will not be strictly based on the movies or novels. Instead, this is a new tale that takes inspiration from the world of Jurassic Park. However, the story plays out at the same timeframe seen in the first movie.

There's already a Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord mod manager
https://www.pcgamer.com/theres-already-a-mount-and-blade-2-bannerlord-mod-manager/
Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord, like its predecessor, looks like it will be catnip for modders. The Early Access version isn't out until the end of the month, but that hasn't stopped people from planning all their overhauls, and it probably won't take long before we're inundated with tweaks, additions and hopefully another Thomas the Tank Engine mod.
In preparation for the deluge, Nexus Mods has already released an extension for its Vortex mod manager, allowing you to use it to manage your Bannerlord mods. Because Bannerlord is still a couple of weeks away, this version is based on the beta build, so expect some changes come March 31.
