NieR: Automata multiplayer PVP mod created by fans

Diehard fans of the NieR franchise have created a multiplayer mod for NieR: Automata, one of the most beloved entries in the series.

The mod recently had its first PvP tournament streamed on Twitch, where I had the opportunity to participate and interview the lead developer, Jasper3108. Here is our conversation:

Niche Gamer: Can you tell us about the mod and what makes it unique?

Jasper: The mod started with the idea of creating a multiplayer experience within a single-player game. It was inspired by previous projects like Nier MP and Automata MP.

Niche Gamer: Was this the first attempt at creating a multiplayer mod for NieR?

Jasper: While there were previous attempts, we took a different approach using Rust instead of C++. This allowed us to implement unique features like input-based netcode for precise gameplay.

Niche Gamer: How many people were involved in the project?

Jasper: The core team consisted of three members, with additional support from others like Izardy and Moses.

Niche Gamer: Will you continue to improve the mod in the future?

Jasper: Yes, we are constantly working on enhancing the mod to provide a smoother and more stable experience for players.

Niche Gamer: Any future projects in mind?

Jasper: I am considering exploring RPG modding and other creative endeavors in the future.

Niche Gamer: Thank you for sharing your insights on the mod. It’s truly a remarkable achievement!
