Hyung-Tae Kim, CEO of Shift Up and director of the game Stellar Blade, has surprised the community by revealing that his favorite mod does not belong to the NSFW content realm, but rather features Doro, an adorable character from the mobile game Goddess of Victory: Nikke. Doro, whose representation in the game was inspired by a meme version of a character named Dorothy, was included in Stellar Blade as a tribute to the popular fan art surrounding it.
It’s a very cute mod, very different from most of the mods in the game
The mod, created by the user xjdyz and available on NexusMods, allows Doro to become a pet that follows Eve, the protagonist of the game, on her adventures. This contrasting inclusion is refreshing, considering that adult content mods for Stellar Blade have accumulated over a million downloads, thus evidencing the great popularity of this type of content compared to more harmless options.
During an interview with Game Spark, Kim emphasized his desire to see more meaningful mods for Stellar Blade, highlighting the need for solutions that do not sexualize the characters. This statement suggests a longing on the part of the director to cultivate a modding community that prioritizes creativity and inclusion over explicit content.
Additionally, in an interesting turn, the study behind Stellar Blade has acquired development kits for the Nintendo Switch 2 console, although it has not yet confirmed any specific plans for this new platform. This raises the possibility of expanding the game to new audiences, although more details will be needed to fully understand the future of Stellar Blade in the Nintendo ecosystem.
