Experimental Feature: Edit Scripts

All events Players around this date Read on Steam

Hey all,

Thank you again so much for playing the demo and supporting our game. We've seen many requests for players being able to make their own scenes, or customise the experience. We have longer term ambitions to give you more control, but we wanted to try give you all something to play with in the meantime.

With the latest demo update, when you open the menu in-game (Escape or F10), there is an option to "Edit Script", which will change the script to an editable text box.

Press the M key to enable the mouse cursor, letting you click into the text box. You can then freely modify the text, and then when you want to share changes to all players, click the "Update Script" button.

This is an experimental feature, so there may be issues and it's not guaranteed to stay in this form. It also only includes the English script to edit for now.

If you'd like to access the PDFs to copy and paste as reference for writing your own scripts, you can find them here:

Please let us know what you think! We can't wait to see what you do with it.

Also a reminder, to please leave a review on the Steam demo if you have not yet!

With love,

Winston and Jeff

This issue was sometimes causing videos to not render, resulting in Preparing forever or a black screen in the theatre. For now, we ask you set aside 2GB to give the game space for recording and rendering out movies. (Most movies require 0.3 - 1.0GB each, and are compressed afterwar…
