The next update is almost here for Rover Builder! Following on from the first update, more exciting things are coming, packed to the brim with new levels, hotfixes, and entirely new modes...
Launching Level Editor.
Get even more creative by designing and playing your very own levels, using all of the tools the dev teams uses to create the official missions. Drop down AI enemies, create roaring landscapes, add an assortment of items and objects - resize them, rotate them, add objectives and missions - the possibilities are endless. Our aim was to put as much creativity in the hands of the player - so we can't wait to see what you come up with.
Build, Build & Build Some More.
Create levels beyond your wildest imagination - from quaint little villages to intimidating battlegrounds, the canvas is blank and ready for your designs. There's so much packed into this update, and just like the sharing function with Rovers, all of your creations can be shared with the community in-game.
This is only our 2nd major update of many, so stay tuned to all our future plans by joining our discord group - where you can also share your builds and levels, provide feedback as we develop the game, and pick up tips and tricks from the community!
