Today, wed like to announce the official opening of the Rhythm Doctor Steam Workshop! Youve probably noticed that you can create your own custom Rhythm Doctor levels. Now, with the opening of the Steam Workshop, itll be easier than ever to create, share, and find community-made custom levels to play. As of today, theres already almost 200 levels you can find on the Workshop!

FOR PLAYERS

On the Main Menu in the game, select Custom Levels. Select Open Workshop to browse the Steam Workshop for new levels. Click the green Subscribe button on any levels youd like to play. Go back and select Library to view your library of custom levels. If your newly subscribed levels dont appear at first, select Reload to add the levels to your library. You can also add levels to your library through a direct .rdzip file. Select Import Levels and use a .rdzip file on your computer or a download files URL to add the level to your Library! Feel free to join our community Discord server to discuss custom levels and find new ones to play!

FOR LEVEL CREATORS

On the Main Menu, select Level Editor. Start with the Sounds timeline. Import a song file onto the timeline for the song youd like to use. Make sure you properly set the BPM (tempo) and Offset for the song. You can read this guide created by our community for tips on setting this up correctly. Proper BPM and Offset values are needed for making sure your gameplay syncs up with the music! Use the Rows timeline to add characters to the level, decide what type of heartbeat theyll have, and chart the notes on the timeline. Use the Actions timeline to add backgrounds, add special vfx, add dialogue, or move characters around. Use the Rooms timeline to split the screen between multiple rooms of patients. Use the Rows timeline to make sure each characters setting is set to the room youd like them to appear in. When youre finished charting and animating your level, make sure to add three Finish Level events at the end of the Actions timeline! That will allow the song to end and display the players grade. Press File > Export in the main dropdown menu to export your level. Youll be prompted to fill out Export Settings, some of which are required before you can export. When youre finished with the settings, press Export from the main dropdown menu again to send your level into the world! Select rdzip to create a file you can share with friends or on our Discord! Select Steam Workshop to upload to the Workshop for other Steam users to play.

Important Note

We ask that you please respect the musicians wishes regarding their songs before uploading your custom level to our Steam Workshop. In order to upload your level to the Rhythm Doctor Steam Workshop, you must use a Verified song. This means that the musician who created the song has specifically given you (or all Rhythm Doctor players) permission to use it in a Rhythm Doctor custom level. You can check for whose songs are Verified at this site or you can create a new submission of an artist who hasnt been listed yet in the Export Settings. You must comply with our User-Generated Content Rules and Steam Subscriber Agreement. Failure to act responsibly and comply with these rules will result in disadvantages, such as function restrictions of your Steam account. For more information, please read our full terms. This is all a very quick, basic introduction to creating custom levels. We recommend reading this guide written by community members Klyzx, WillFlame, and huantian. For more tutorials and advice on levelmaking, you can join our community Discord server! ----- Even before Rhythm Doctor arrived in Early Access, our community has been working with the level editor and pushing beyond the limits of what we imagined people would make. There are some really great levels out there, and really talented creators, so we highly recommend you browse the Workshop to find new ones you might like. If you enjoyed Story Mode, theres plenty of more levels out there, on a broad spectrum of different difficulties and music genres. Good luck treating your new patients!
