About SteonMod
SteonMod is a community index of game-inside-a-game projects: passthrough mods that run two real games together, Rust rewrites of classic games, recomps and decomps, in-game mashups, and the tools behind them.
It started in a modding Discord, when someone asked "is there a list of all of these anywhere?" and nobody had one. New projects were appearing every day, spread across GitHub, Nexus Mods, CurseForge and video descriptions. Now there's one place that finds them, keeps their releases up to date, and helps people get them running.
What the site does
- Finds projects automatically. A crawler searches GitHub and watches forks of known projects. Moderators check every find before it goes live.
- Keeps them current. Stars, releases and READMEs are re-checked regularly. If a repository is deleted or taken down, the page says so and followers are told.
- Helps people play them. Beginner guides, requirements on every page, Works for me reports, and a help forum.
- Connects the community. Discussion threads per project, a requests board for the mashups people want next, and Discord feeds for new releases.
What it doesn't do
- It never hosts mods, game files or downloads. It links to each project's official source.
- It doesn't list projects for online games with anti-cheat, cracks, or anything that ships copyrighted game files.
- It doesn't run ads or sell data.
For project authors
Your project's page is built from your public repository. If something's wrong, or you'd like the Verified badge, or you'd rather not be listed, post in the forum or contact the site admins (see the Discord) and a moderator will sort it out.
For rights holders
We only link to projects hosted elsewhere and summarise their public descriptions. If a listing links to material that infringes your rights, contact the site admins (see the Discord) with the page address and we'll review it promptly. Takedowns of the project itself should go to its host (for example GitHub's DMCA process).
