In-Game Map Maker + Steam Workshop Added
Hello Everyone!
We are proud to announce that Update #4 with its in-game Map Maker and Steam Workshop support is out now!
This is a big personal milestone for me, and a point of pride for the team. For me, I've worked on many games before Railgrade. Each time the topic releasing a map maker came up but producers shot down the idea. Now that we're in full control, we've made this map maker a high priority. And now you can us it!
But not just any map maker. This map maker is in-game, you can launch it from the Custom Maps menu from the main menu. This same Custom Maps menu lets you download & play maps from the Steam Workshop, edit your own maps, and even upload to Steam Workshop.
As part of this work we've polished up our internal map editor. We've added a thumbnail screenshot taking function, streamlined the controls, translated everything. We've debugged and smoothed the rough edges. If you've enjoyed Railgrade please do consider making your own map. You should find the tooling easy to use and publish, much easier than the modding tools we had as kids.

PS: If you wish to share maps with friends privately, or share your map on our discord so non-Steam players can get it, we've added an export map function too.
