Modulaatio Games is proud to announce that the Steam Workshop support for RUNNING WITH RIFLES just went live! OMG YES! To celebrate the Workshop release, RWR can be purchased with a -50% discount deal, lasting until the end of the weekend! Grab it while it's hot!
Mods for RWR can now be easily subscribed to and shared with RWR's full support of the Steam Workshop. Multiplayer servers using Workshop content will let players subscribe to the required Workshop items automatically upon connecting.
We've prepared the Workshop with some very cool mods already (let it be WWI, WWII, Sci-fi, racing or even Zombiiiies!) and are excited for all-new content submissions. Finally, all the great mods we've seen in the past few years can be made available to players easily.
We're also hosting dedicated servers running a few of the mods. See you there!
Here are just 2 examples of mods that have already been submitted:
OVERLORD DEFENSE (WWII wave defense):
RUNNING WITH THE DEAD (zombie apocalypse):
To make it easier to create custom maps, we are actually working on a map video tutorial which is our next top priority!
We also added 2 new languages in this update.
