[h1]Workshop Game World Maps (Alpha)[/h1]
Players can now create playable maps for SDNL, Virus, and Little Crusaders!
This update includes the official Alpha release of the Workshop Map SDK.
[img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/11783817/cc5a90655d6378be32fff8d8eb6b2711c23caac5.jpg[/img]
Simply open the Workshop Editor, select the Map Editor, set up the map, test it out, and share it to the world!

Once a player uploads a map, they can play it by downloading it from the User Creations menu!
You can start a Game World server by opening any maps you have downloaded from the User Creations menu or by selecting them in the end-of-match map selection screen.
SDK maps support a wide range of features that Condos support, such as Condo IO, Canvases, and Workshop models. Certain Volumes work, such as Damage Volumes which affect gameplay (in Virus it will infect a survivor or damage an infected, in Little Crusaders it'll set Knights on fire, etc.), Teleporter Volumes, and Trigger Volumes. Size Volumes are disabled.
You can also import Condo maps to the SDK directly, by using the Load button in the SDK's scoreboard menu. You'll just need to rename the CondoData file to have a .map file extension.
A guide on our SDK website is being written up and should be out by this weekend, which will give more information on how to use the SDK.
We'll be adding SDK support to additional Game Worlds over the next month, along with Custom Workshop Sounds support, and more SDK items.
[h1]User Creations Menu[/h1]
All Workshop Maps (both for Condos and Game Worlds) are now available to browse and download through the User Creations menu on the Main Menu.

In addition, there were several changes to clean up the tag system and allow for tags for some specific Game World criteria.

Workshop map descriptions also now allow for more text formatting options (such as heading
and bold ) and should be more visible than before!
