Challenge Editor Beta coming soon!
We're glad to tell you that internal testing of Challenge Editor is going on without critical problems, and we'll make this beta open before the end of this month.
You can read the following article to know more about the Editor: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1372530/view/5654813342042542864
Releasing this Beta will be the biggest update in the game's history yet. We'll create a separate topic in Steam Discussions and a separate channel on our Discord server for sharing and downloading challenges made by you, players. We'd like to make it possible to upload challenges on a server so that you can download and upload them without exiting the game. So, if you don't want to make your own challenges, you'll still have the content to play.
If editor will be popular, we'll gradually extend its functionality. It all depends on your support.
Besides the Editor, we're working on fixing especially annoying bugs and rewriting code of the project (a quick reminder: we decided to re-write the game almost from scratch. For example, the new version uses much faster and reliable algorithm of route search). Another functionality to implement is the new version of World map (we hope to make it scrollable from both sides, as you asked). However, this is going to take quite a lot of time, so the scheduled arrival of reworked version is this atumn, closer to the release of the game.
But we have other plans to bring into life beforehand: improve saving system and optimize performance when creating new routes on the late game stages, when there is a huge number of routes.
We read your messages and try to adjust out plans in accordance with your desires. We might not always succeed in making things as quick as we would like to, but all noticeable and useful bugreports and requests are put in our task tracker.
Below you can see a picture which will be displayed if event "Show message to player" is triggered by Editor - creator of the challenge will have the possibility to show any text to player so that he sees it in the specified moment of gameplay. If you combine it with other events, like adding or subtracting money, unlocking countries or cities, you can create interesting situations. Maybe, you would like to create a story-driven challenge? As always, feel free to write whether you are going to try yourself in creating Challenges in the comments (maybe, you've already got some ideas about them?)
Thanks for attention, and have a good flight!
How about joining our Discord server? Different game tactics are discussed there, and sometimes you can directly chat with the developers :)
