Hellsplit: Arena News

[h2]Hello, Friends![/h2]

Lately, we've been putting a lot of effort into developing tools for creating mods, but we've also always kept in mind that the original game still has some issues that make it difficult to play comfortably and break the gameplay.

• The preset Light Zombies Only (no Archers) is added to the training mode - the same as Light Zombies Only preset, but without archers

[h2]Dear friends: players and content creators![/h2]
As you already know, we released our new update Hellsplit: Arena 1.2 a few days ago, in which mods support has been added!

It is really nice that the game now supports UGC (user-generated content), but only one important detail was missing - instrument for mod creation. And now we are excited to share the news with you that our instrument for mod creation called Hellsplit: Workbench is officially released and is available to everyone! 🥳 🎉

Hellsplit: Workbench is a Mod SDK designed for Hellsplit: Arena is set to revolutionize the game by allowing players to customize their experience and create their own unique content. Built on top of Unreal Engine 4, it offers all the tools needed to design custom maps, weapons, and game modes. With its intuitive interface, customizable parameters and large set of predefined templates, players can easily create their own levels, weapons, and more.

We also began to prepare the tutorials, the first of which are available here ⬇️

[h2]Hello, dear Friends! 👋[/h2]

We are back again and we are happy to share wonderful news with you! 🥳 Today we are one step closer to probably the most long-awaited update of our game - Update 1.2! We are launching alpha-testing of the new update 1.2, and this means that the testers team from among our players will already get access to the first mods created for our game. Special thanks to those modders who managed to prepare their releases for today's update. At launch, a limited amount of content will be available, but this is just the beginning and the game store will be constantly updated with new works!

Let's share some technical details: players will be able to install mods in a couple of ways at once.
1️⃣ The first and the main one is Mod Workshop build-it in the game. Choose, download and install mods directly from the game! Currently we are using the mod.io service to interact with mods online, and the testers who got access to the alpha version today will need to have a mod.io account to download mods. Fortunately, you do not need to sign up namely on the site, this can be done directly from the game by simply indicating your email and inserting the verification code. In the near future we will make an optional link to a mod.io account and you will be able to download your favorite mods without any registration.

2️⃣ At the same time, if you have another favorite site for downloading mods (for example, nexusmods) - the game now supports manual installation of mods!

❗ By the way, if you are not yet a member of the tester team, but want to try mods right now, then it's high time to join our Discord and apply for joining the tester group!

Thank you all for your patience and understanding. Today alpha-testing of our most anticipated update begins, and the final release is just round the corner! Stay in touch!
