Steam Workshop & Map Editor Are Live

We’ve just rolled out one of the biggest updates for Code My Robot Vacuum so far: full Steam Workshop support and the first version of the in-game Map Editor. This update opens the door for creating, saving, previewing, publishing, browsing, subscribing to, and playing custom stages directly through Steam. Alongside that, we’ve also added new sandbox stages, upgraded the level selector with 3D previews, improved cleaning feedback with combo effects and coin popups, and added several quality-of-life improvements across the UI.

Major Additions

Steam Workshop support is now available

• Browse Workshop maps in-game

• Subscribe to maps directly from the in-game browser

• Download Workshop content and preview images automatically

• See clearer distinction between your local maps and subscribed Workshop maps

• Manage published maps more easily, including updating and deleting Workshop items in-game

Map Editor v1 is now available

• Create your own custom stages from inside the game

• Save local drafts and return to them later

• Validate maps before publishing

• Generate and store custom map previews

• Playtest your maps and return cleanly to editing flow

The editor already supports a wide range of stage setup options, and this update significantly expands what creators can build. Advanced fields now include things like docking behavior, island layouts, dirt and spill tuning, conveyors, jump pads, moving platforms, rising tiles, objectives, and more.

Creator / Workshop / Editor Improvements

The Workshop and editor flow received a big round of follow-up improvements after the initial release.

• AdjustedBetter Workshop browser layoutcleaner list/detail panels, improved spacing, better behavior on narrower screens, updated icons, and a clearer publish/update flow

• Published-state handling: drafts now more clearly show whether they’ve already been published, and the action button changes appropriately between PUBLISH and UPDATE

• Custom map previews: custom maps now support preview images in the level selector, including Workshop downloads

• Workshop preview downloads: subscribed maps now fetch both 2D and 3D previews so they show up more cleanly in the selector
