addedAs some of you may know, we've been working hard at the upcoming Level Editor for Orch Star! The Editor has always been developed alongside Orch Star itself; in fact, it was used to create all scenarios available in the game. However, we wanted to polish it some more before releasing it to you, the players, to create your own scenarios. One of the main features we've been working on is the ability to Undo and Redo actions, an often overlooked feature which Blitzcake has been occupied with for the last few weeks. We're also integrating Steam's Workshop - this will allow you to share your own scenarios and access your subscribed scenarios without leaving the game! Yesterday we first unveiled the Custom Functions available in the Editor. These allow the scenario creator to add custom behavior such as calling reinforcements, control the AI, or trigger victory at other conditions than "last player standing". Although the Functions can appear difficult to understand at first glance, we've found it to be very intuitive once you get going. The Level Editor will be released in an upcoming update, along with exhaustive Steam Guides to explain how to create your first scenario, and how to further customize your scenario using Custom Functions and other features. Also, make sure to check out the other Orch Star Guides if you find the game difficult; you're sure to find help in one of the guides there! Follow us on social media ( Facebook , Twitter , Reddit and YouTube ) for more frequent updates!
