Steam Workshop coming soon at DEPO!
Steam Workshop Coming to DEPO Very Soon!
I’m excited to share some incredible news with you all! Over the past few weeks, I’ve been working on integrating Steam Workshop with DEPO. This means that all levels created in the editor can be uploaded directly to Steam and downloaded from there as well. What’s more, all of this—uploading and downloading levels—can be done directly from within DEPO itself!
The Workshop section is already enabled, but I’m currently running tests: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1091320/workshop/
In a future update, it will be available to everyone. Start preparing your levels! If you’ve already created a level in the level editor or are in the process of making one, message me privately on Discord. Later, I’ll give you access to the DEPO beta with Workshop support so you can upload your levels ahead of the official release. This way, other players can enjoy your creations on launch day.
