My eventual hope is to release it as a free Steam DLC that will be visible on the store page, but this might take until the first or second update to the game, as I have to alter the way the game finds files.

Finally I hope to have workshop/some other method of file sharing that will allow for the safe sharing of user created maps, stay tuned for that.

Make sure to pick up Polity Painter tomorrow!
