THE LEVEL EDITOR UPDATE

major update

The Local · build 18670777 · published

On SteamNotes only · this build shipped before we watched the app


This update finally adds the long awaited Level Editor to The Local! With this, you can create levels, upload them to the Workshop, and then play them by yourself, or in multiplayer.


In the Editor, you have access to almost every tool I had to create the base game's world.

  • 100+ assets
  • Launch Pads, Fans, Wall runs, and fully editable Rails
  • Create your own textures with the Material Builder
  • Custom model and audio support
  • Support for Timed, Capture, Infection, and Zen
  • New objects like Gravity Fields, Pillows, and Timed Point Rings
  • Configurable Timed Leaderboards and Goals
  • Easily publish and update your levels


And of course, what good is a level editor if you can't play the levels...

  • Play levels from the Workshop
  • Leaderboards and Ghost Data are fully supported on Timed courses
  • Play any level online
  • Sort and search through your subscribed levels


This update has been in the works for around 2 months. I've released many devlogs and changelogs for the beta which go into much more detail. This update also includes a manual for the editor (which I'd strongly recommend checking out) that details everything.

Thanks to everyone who helped with testing, and thank you very much for waiting,
Tobey

Base Game Changelog


Here are some changes made to the base game.

Input Overlay


You can now enable an input overlay to be shown on the HUD. This can be enabled in options under HUD > INPUT.

Supporter Package

  • Added "Cat Ears" hat

Accessibility

  • Added Minimal Quick Fall icon option that makes the icon smaller, and places it below the crosshair
  • Most scroll views now have the same scroll sensitivity of 20, which is generally an increase. All scroll views are now clamped

Other

  • Demos will now play the checkpoint and target hit sounds (unless you are scrubbing through)
  • Fixed a bug where completing a Timed course in multiplayer would display the weekly ranking if you had the weekly tab selected outside of multiplayer
  • The Leaderboard Sync option has been removed
