NOTE
This page is officially doomed to the abyss of the past. No development will be continued by myself personally. This is due to this mod being a test… a test to see if I enjoyed software development of some sort or mod making (Low and Behold Turns out I don’t). This was a somewhat successful project, I set out to expand and make GDT more like what I wanted…realistic with the bucket-load of real computers and consoles. I was glad that I created the first version of the mod, but I knew I could make it better so I kept on expanding it till 1.5 which by the time it was in its second rewrite only to realise it was broken and I had to completely redevelop it again. I was a few stepping stones forward till I just said this is futile and I already have gotten what I wanted… to see how enjoyable software development was (not very).
So thank you all who downloaded and used this broken mod, and to those who gave feedback and suggestions. I was even surprised for that one time I got the first page on the steam workshop…only for everyone to find out that this mod was broken…
However, the mod itself isn’t dead…more to come.
