changedOverworld 061 - Publish to Steam WorkshopOver the last few weeks I’ve focused on making it easier to create maps and actually share/play them with others . The biggest change is full Steam Workshop support , so you can publish your maps for the community (and pull Workshop maps back in to tweak and learn from). I’ve also pushed fog-of-war support into the publishing workflow , so what you design—hidden areas, revealed zones, and the way information unfolds—can carry through more reliably when you share your world with your RPG players.

Along the way I shipped a lot of fixes and polish (rendering, roads/rivers, shoreline/background visuals, input edge cases, and performance), so the editor should feel smoother, more predictable, and less “in your way” as you build.
