LEVEL EDITOR UPDATE!
Hi everyone. We've made some massive improvements to the workshop and level editor, plus added a new bonus level. To try the bonus level go to the new "bonus" menu in the campaign mission select screen.
The level editor has been upgraded with lots of new scripting features and is now even more feature rich than the one used to build the main campaign! So expect a lot more movement, interactivity, and surprises in workshop levels. On top of all that level editors can now upload multiple level campaigns with narrative they can write. But wait there's more! There is now a prop workshop where editors can download stuff to fill their level with tables, chairs, cars, whatever!
