Earlier this month, we asked our community to vote between four potential asset packages for the room editor. Out of these packages, The Alchemist package got the most votes by far. So now it's time for all of you to work your magic!
Additional Room Editor updates
New assets:
• Skyboxes • New effects
New logic items:
• Open link: Players can open links to Steam, Steam Community, or Wikipedia URLs. • And/Or/XOR /Not gates on the Lock object • Activator that can enable or disable objects
Features:
• Button, Animation, Lock, Trigger, and Slot have new Output Value field that can be changed • Code optimizations
But wait, there's more!
Finally, the latest update also includes:
• Steam Deck support • Internal rework of networking - it should work much better for the community rooms now! • Linux and Mac graphical fixes • Daily Picks rework • Added additional custom level packs • 388 commits of tweaks and fixes
Our top January community room picks!
First, thanks to all of you!
We continue to be amazed by the variety and quality of custom rooms you’ve all been making! There are some super inventive creations out there… but we also love seeing how many people have been experimenting with the room editor. Whether you release anything or not we hope you’re having fun with it!
Some of you might have noticed some repetition in the community room daily picks. At the moment we have to manually add maps to the daily picks list via updates, and then one map appears each day. So after the next update there’ll be new rooms appearing again! Until then, you should check out these…
Sudoku Dungeon You are trapped in a Sudoku Dungeon oh no! Solve the puzzle to escape! There’s a pinned discussion including a guide with hints and a walkthrough.
Dracula 's Castle A Count Dracula themed room with lots of painting/symbol-based clues and no cryptic words. There are hints in the workshop description.
