'We intend to continue to regularly select what we consider to be the most polished mods' The actual amount is based on the time and effort applied, but Stiglitz said that, with The Center and Primitive+, the creators received, 'multiple months' salary for a creative.' Speaking to Kotaku, lead designer Jeremy Stiglitz said it was prepared to pay, 'a considerable amount of money,' for content developed within its community. Mods for PC games are nothing new, but Wildcard is also offering to pay for the content it selects. The Center is the first new map to be launched under the Official Mods program, and another, 'Primitive+', will be released in July.
This week ARK received a new map called 'The Center,' which doubles the game's 'playable geography.' And this major contribution was made not by the Wildcard team, but by a member of its 6 million-strong audience, Ben Burkat, under the Official Mods program it announced last month. ARK: Survival Evolved has risen to prominence by working closely with its enthusiastic community, and Studio Wildcard is now taking that relationship to the next level.
