整个周末都在忙这个：游戏内模组浏览器的用户体验，以及创作者支持方面的内容。这个周末只是处理了新的流程，后面还有大量的技术工作和真正的 UI 工作要做。
模组浏览器会保持图书馆的感觉，而不是购物中心。网格视图中没有价格标签；在游戏菜单中一键安装。
在创作者这边，个人档案页是体验的核心：徽章、支持者数量、统计数据。Hytale 会为双方提供装饰品——既给支持模组作者的玩家，也给达成支持里程碑的模组作者。直接支持的资金会流向创作者，而不是被市场平台抽成。
顺便说一句，我们不想从中获利。模组作者在这方面赚得比工作室还多这种事情——毫不夸张地说，那就是我们的梦想！
玩家的奖励应该分阶段解锁，并按季度或月度轮换。限时的装饰品套装、徽章等等，但整个目录会循环回归。目标是让玩家持续投入，但又不会陷入“错失恐惧”的陷阱——错过一个赛季，以后还会再回来。
我特别希望加入的一点：奖励那些愿意支持其他模组作者、公开分享资源、提携小创作者的模组作者。
团队内部对这个愿景已经很清晰。我们想认真尝试让游戏内的模组保持免费，并会在为创作者提供变现方式上发挥创意。
不瞒你说，看到那个没有价格标签、只有“安装”按钮的原型时，感觉就像回到了过去玩游戏的美好时光。
趁这个话题还在，快速说一下阶段性的安排，让大家有个预期。
我上面描述的内容并不是全部都会在 V1 版本中出现。我们会分阶段推出：

我上面描述的内容并不是全部都会在 V1 版本中出现。我们会分阶段推出：
- 第一阶段：基础预制组件分享。从小处着手，先把轨道铺好。
- 第二阶段：基础模组浏览器。包括发现、浏览、安装以及个人档案页的基础功能。
- 第三阶段：加入创作者支持体验、装饰品以及支持者里程碑。

Spent the whole weekend on this: the in-game mod browser UX and the creator support side. This weekend was just on the new flow, plenty of tech and proper UI work still ahead.
The browser stays library-feel, not shopping mall. No price tags on the grid; 1-click install in the game menu.
On the creator side, profiles are the center of the experience: badges, supporter counts, stats. Hytale provides cosmetics for both sides. Players who support modders, and modders who hit supporter milestones. Direct support goes to the creator, not into a marketplace cut.
BTW we don't want to profit from this. Modders out-earning the studio on this would, unironically, be the dream!
Player rewards should unlock in tiers and rotate seasonally or monthly. Time-limited cosmetic sets, badges and so on, but the whole catalog cycles back through over time. Goal is keeping players invested without falling into a FOMO trap, miss one season and they come around again.
One thing I really want baked in: rewards for modders who support other modders / share assets openly / lift up smaller creators.
The vision is clear internally. We want to give this a fair shot at keeping mods free in-game, and we'll get creative on ways to monetize our creators.
NGL, seeing the prototype with no price tags and just "install" buttons feels like the good old days of gaming.

Quick follow-up while we're on this thread to set expectations on phasing.
Not everything I described above is going into v1. The rollout is phased:
Phase 1: Basic prefab sharing. Start small, build the rails.
Phase 2: Basic mod browser. Discovery, browser, install, profile foundation.
Phase 3: Creator support experience, cosmetics, and supporter milestones included.
Meanwhile, server listing applications go live today, with the in-game server browser shipping soon after with Update 5.
