Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero finally launched in advanced access today, bringing back the Budokai Tenkaichi series after 17 years. If my colleague George Foster is anything to go by (he scored the game 4.5 stars), fans are bursting at the seams with excitement. With a roster of 182 characters, who can blame them? But the community is itching to take that even further.
One fan on the Video Game Mods forum has put out a $500 bounty in Steam vouchers which will go to the first person who creates and uploads modding tools to the dedicated Sparking Zero Mods website. According to admin Zenin, whichever set of mod tools "allow custom assets into the game will be awarded" the prize money.
The first 50 modders to use the tools will even get a $10 voucher each.
They have given the community 30 days to put the kit together, and payment will arrive 60 days after release so that the tools — and any mods uploaded — can be tested and verified. Whoever wins will receive an email asking for their SteamID so that they can be sent the vouchers. Plenty of cash for all that Sparking Zero DLC, eh?
