Mahokenshi: The Designer's Guide
Today, we are delighted to announce our biggest update by far. Coming April 26th!
With these major additions, we wanted to give our community an immense thank you for all the support we have received since launch. We also wanted to show that we have been listening and sought to deliver on your biggest concerns- more content, save-states, and replayability.
As a result, we’ve decided to implement three major changes: a brand new mission editor, the ability to save during missions, and a DLC pack with additional maps!
The Mission Editor
This exciting and innovative tool will allow players to create their own maps, giving the community endless possibilities.
With the Mission Editor update you will gain access to the Custom Missions menu, where you can conveniently select to browse downloaded or create your own maps.
The Mission Editor will conveniently allow the ability to browse downloaded maps or create your own, allowing you to shape your own maps, one hex at a time! This can mean placing hordes of enemies, setting objectives, creating quests with rewards, and more. It’s an expansive tool directly derived from what the developers used to create the campaign.
After you’re done creating a map and you’re satisfied, you can simply upload it to the Steam workshop, making it available for everyone! The community can then download it and try it out via the in-game menus.
Rating maps will be conveniently done via the workshop as well, giving players a clear way to filter based on their preferences.
From here on it’s up to the community to choose your adventure. Read comments, create missions, dive into 5-star rated maps from others, or be a pioneer and try the newly uploaded maps.
Mid-Mission Saving Update
One of the most requested features since launch has been the ability to save at any point during a mission, to allow for as much flexibility as possible while gaming. We saw and we have delivered!
To ensure the most pleasant experience possible, this save feature will now be implemented in the game during any mission.
If you have to leave your computer you will be able to pick up your quest to save the Celestial Islands wherever you last left off. This should greatly ease flexibility with gameplay and make for a more enjoyable experience for all players!
The DLC pack: “Mahokenshi - The Designer's Guide”
This pack will include a handful of challenging maps functioning as a guide to show off the potential of the Mission Editor, helping creators to get started.
These have been designed to help all players off the ground with learning the fundamentals of how to master our new editor. This should not only be both a great deal of fun, but an exciting challenge for all players!
Once again, thank you for all you have done to create the Mahokenshi community and we hope you enjoy all of this sensational new content.
Stay tuned for all the exciting news on Mahokenshi, and of course, join our community on Discord!
