The project :
The Playlist Mod is a mod for the third-person shooter roguelite Risk of Rain 2 (Hopoo Games, 2019), which gives the player the opportunity to replace the game’s original sound track, composed by Chris Christodoulou, by custom tracks that they can import themselves.

Released in 2023, The Playlist Mod is an app owned and developed by ZPMods
The Playlist Mod started when, music composer and ZPMods partner, Feather wanted to import his new Risk of Rain 2 inspired music album as an alternative soundtrack for Risk of Rain 2.
The mod allows users to import custom music tracks from audio files and create playlists to replace the game’s original tracks for both bosses and levels. It features a configuration .xml file, a playlist selector added to the game’s main menu, and a display of the current music in pause menu.
My Part :
As the sole developer and one of the designers on the project, I was able to research already existing solutions and suggest features that would separate us from existing music mods or improve on existing features. I also had the opportunity to design and implement most of the UIs of the mod.
