Update 3 Level Editor and community maps!
Virtual Age Games

4 years ago - Mar 27, 2021

Hello @everyone !

Update 3 is finally here, and this is one is a VERY special one! :smile:

NEW: In-Game level editor (solo or co-op) - Beta!

We are very excited to finally show you the first version of the level editor.

  • You can now create your own maps in single player or co-op sessions in the game.
  • Maps are saved to our cloud. This means that a) you won’t lose your maps if you factory reset, and b) if you make any changes to the map, the other players will automatically download them the next time they play on that map.
  • Two game modes are available now: Defense (Co-Op) and Destroy the gate (PvP). Protect and Elimination will come with the next update.
  • You can configure the level as you want: terrain size, enemy spawn points, wave configuration, rocks, plants, towers, minerals, warp gate position…
  • Fully dynamic terrain! You can raise, lower and paint the terrain in real-time.
  • Custom loadouts: you can define which weapons are allowed in your maps. Want to do a grenades only level? No problem :blush:
  • If the map is set as “Public”, other players will be able to play on them too, and if you set them to editable, they will also be able to use them as templates for their own maps.

As I mentioned earlier the editor is still in public beta, so expect to find some bugs and rough edges while we still work on it. The high level roadmap for the next few releases is:

  • More assets/props
  • More biomes (snow is next)
  • Fixes and quality of life improvements
  • A LOT more game play parameters for you to play with.

NEW: Community maps!

We added a new section under Co-op and PvP that will feature the best maps created by the community, and to kick start this section we have added 3 new maps!

  • Desert Oasis (Co-Op Hard)
  • Desert Hill (Co-Op Normal)
  • Crawly Canyon (Co-Op Hard) – By @lilmatthew1657 !

We will be adding many more over the coming days and weeks as you guys start showing us your creations! :blush:

For now community maps are only playable as multiplayer games, but if you want to play solo just create a private coop game. We will add the possibility to play this maps on single player mode in the next update.

Other Improvements:

  • Improved the tutorial step where we explain the jet pack.
  • (Steam Only) Added specific text for HP Reverb G2 buttons.
  • Added “Coming soon” to Snow Rescue chapter button.
  • Custom mode: You can now define HP and Damage bonus to all enemies of a particular wave.
  • New: Visual inventory ON by default for new installs
  • New: Added throw boost to the sword
  • New: UI Multi-language support
  • Several Memory optimizations for Quest

Fixes:

  • Fixed custom waves with only bosses not ending
  • Fixed energy sword killing your own units.
  • Fixed enemies would not retreat when ordered, especially the tank.
  • Fixed woman avatar incorrect hand poses when wielding the gun
  • Fixed bugs not attacking the walls placed on a bridge even if they blocked the path.

As always, please let us know your feedback or if you find any bugs.

Thanks!!
