Workshop Support Incoming! Live Level Building Tutorial January 16th
We're just putting the finishing touches on workshop support and soon you'll be able to create and share levels for Race the Sun. To get the ball rolling Flippfly's own Forest (@ForestSanFillip) is going to be hosting a one hour level building tutorial tomorrow at 2PM EST (7PM GMT) on our Twitch channel: http://www.twitch.tv/flippfly
Tune in and get a jump on building cool stuff for Race the Sun- maybe even be one of the first to have one of your levels featured. Forest will be answering questions and giving a general tutorial on the process so check it out even if you have no idea where to start.
Workshop support will be coming in the next 2 weeks.
Linux & Workshop Coming Soon!
Race the Sun includes the Simplex World Creator for making your own custom worlds, and we are in the process of adding Steam Workshop support. With Workshop you will be able to rate and play other player-created worlds, as well as share your own. We will also be tying the in-game world portals (the big green ones) to the best user-created worlds! When this is all set up, flying into a portal could take you anywhere!
Soon we will be opening up a beta version with Workshop support, so be on the lookout for that announcement.
We are also finishing up the Linux version of Race the Sun for Steam - just a few bugs to work out and it will be ready.
Thank you all for your thoughts and feedback as we update, fix and improve Race the Sun!
