THE LEVEL EDITOR UPDATE

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 ...?

At the time of publishing, the Supporter Package is now on sale for 25% off! Check the storepage for more details. Since The Local is free, this DLC helps supports my work. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2560140/The_Local__Supporter_Package/

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

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

Rapid climate events and mismanaged scientific endeavours have left Australia largely flooded and abandoned. Those who remain are not willing to stray too far from home to take care of their basic needs. So, who will help satiate their growing appetites? You. Put on your running shoes and get ready to sprint, jump, grind and survive in this fast paced, parkour food delivery simulator!

There are many options to help you navigate across Australia...

You've got rail grinding, the primary option. Rail grinding will allow you to quickly gain speed to complete your orders or get out of a dangerous situation as fast as possible.
Sliding helps when going down hills. You will quickly gain speed as you descend.
Wall running will maintain your speed for its full duration, so try this after finishing a rail grind.
Lastly is ledge climbing, which allows you to reach some trickier spots.

The people are hungry! They will most often use the official, government-controlled order app to order generic "food" and / or "drink". You can view these orders on your phone and by looking out for tall blue, sky beams marking the customer’s home.

Beyond the typical orders of "food" and / or "drink", some residents may want something more specific. Seek out these special orders for a large payout. Some people may want fruits from trees, while others will want raw materials, some of which can be very dangerous to collect, so be careful!

In an attempt to cull all dangerous life, heavy machinery was set up to exterminate anything that gets too close. Now these machines are out for you, and as the day goes on, more and more of them will activate. Missiles will track you down, Quake Makers will shake the Earth and launch you into the air, and lasers will give you deadly burns. You should avoid these obstacles at all costs. But if you do pass out, don't worry. You'll be ready to clock on again tomorrow.

Scattered across Australia are many "Vaults" containing useful perks for you to use for that day. Some will influence the economy, others will open more potential movement routes, but they will all help you get a larger paycheck at the end of the day.
