(drum roll please)......[/p][p][/p][p]!! A procedurally generated megastructure !![/p][p][/p][p]You'll spawn into a procedurally generated and randomly seeded megastructure, given a waypoint to get to, and some tools on your way.[/p][p][/p][p]I'll be using that map to test out gameplay ideas like items that give stamina buffs and nerfs (like PEAK), hazards, and consumable variants of existing items in the game, like the Grapple hook and Dash.[/p][p][/p][p]It's kind of like a beta for later ideas ;)[/p][p][/p][p]I hope you enjoy, and stay tuned for more![/p]

[p][/p][p][/p][p]I've been quite busy after concluding the map making contest, and you might be wondering what I've been up to![/p][p][/p][p]Here's a quick rundown:[/p][p][/p][h2]3 New Projects![/h2][p]I have way more that I want to do, but these are my main focus for now.[/p][p][/p][p]Lorn's Lure Parkour Map Pack DLC[/p][p]This will be 5-10 new parkour maps for roughly $2 USD, available as DLC.[/p][p]No story, just various challenges lasting 5-15 minutes in length.[/p][p][/p][p]Meganaut[/p][p]The pure horror floating experience which you can try the demo for here:[/p][p]Try the Meganaut Demo Here![/p][p][/p][p]Secret Fishing Game[/p][p]Yes, it's a friend slop game set in the megastructure... Join the Discord if you want more information.[/p][p][/p][h2]What's on the back burner for now?[/h2][p]Proc Gen[/p][p]Procedurally generating a megastructure turned out to be a lot harder than I thought, so I'll chip away at this over time...[/p][p][/p][p]Map Making Tool Improvements[/p][p]Uptake wasn't that great, so I'm halting improvements here for now unless I get more demand.[/p][p]I still want to improve the tool, but there are other things I want to do first. I may run another contest in the near future too. I'd definitely like to see some horror maps :)[/p][p][/p][p]Anyway, enjoy the Summer Sale, and stay tuned for more![/p]

I finally judged the workshop maps and picked a winner for the prize!
