Hello! In the previous progress report post I mentioned that I was working on documenting the game for the Steam Workshop feature, and I'm happy to say that it is now fully documented. The upcoming update is now available on the 'develop' branch of the game. In addition to the Workshop support, you'll notice that some things have also been changed, that is because the Steam Workshop update will feature various changes meant for an easier introduction into the game. With Steam Workshop support integrated, the next step for the Workshop update is creation of a couple of more example mods for developers, and then moving on to improving the tutorial by splitting it up into multiple separate parts, instead of having one big tutorial scenario. The existing tutorial will remain in the game, but will be renamed to something different, since while it does introduce people to the game, it is also very challenging and punishing. Think of the current tutorial as a final exam of the player's abilities after the initial, easier tutorials that will be added in this update. Once that is done, I will be moving on to further optimizing the game, while working on a rather large Workshop example mod in parallel, to further showcase what can be done with mods, and how it all works, which is very important for developers, as the more reference material they have, the easier it will be for them to get into modding, and start making all sorts of cool content. If you wish to start making mods for the Steam Workshop of Game Dev Studio, then switch over to the 'develop' branch of the game, read up on the documentation, and check out the example mods. Currently the Steam Workshop is accessible through the tab at the top of the Community Hub, since the update is not yet fully released. Goes without saying that the first couple of weeks (or maybe even a month or two) will see very little mods, but as people get familiar with how the game code words and how mods are made, you can expect all sorts of mods to be made from the community. Thank you for reading!
