Devlog №5 Announcement of Work on the Custom Map Editor and New Update

Announcement of Work on the Custom Map Editor and New Update


Dear Players!


The Only Climb: Better Together development team is pleased to announce the start of work on one of the key features that will significantly expand the game’s possibilities – the custom map editor. This tool will allow the community to independently create unique climbing routes, share them via the Workshop platform, and organize gaming sessions using their own creations.

Key Features of the Editor:


  • Map Creation: Players will be able to design routes of any complexity, using a wide range of tools to bring their ideas to life – from massive towering structures to intricate obstacles.



  • Workshop Integration: Completed maps can be published in the Workshop, giving other users the opportunity to download, rate, and test them.



  • Support for Co-op Play: A feature will be added to create gaming sessions using custom maps, opening new horizons for cooperative and competitive interaction.


At the moment, the team is focused on developing an intuitive interface and functional tools for the editor to ensure ease of use and a high level of creative freedom. We are actively testing the system and refining its key components to deliver a stable and high-quality product to you in the future.

In addition, with the release of the new update, we are excited to announce the following additions:


New Skyway Map: A unique route with breathtaking views and fresh challenges for height enthusiasts.



New DLCs: Additional content packs that will enhance your gaming experience.



Collectible Cards: Exclusive digital items for your collection, available as part of the update.

Inventory Items: New customization elements that will let you stand out among other climbers.

We will keep you updated on the development progress and inform you about the next stages in upcoming announcements. We invite you to share your suggestions and ideas regarding the editor and new content through our official communication channels – your feedback plays a vital role in improving the project.

Thank you for your support!

Sincerely,

The Only Climb Development Team

    NEW MAP ANNOUNCEMENT - SKYWAY

    Hello! This is the Exbyte Studios team! After a long period of silence, we’ve received a lot of questions about the new map and its release date. When we started developing the Astrolift Terminal map, we realized that it didn’t quite align with the concept of Only Climb and could potentially have a negative impact on the gameplay experience. Therefore, at the nearly final stage of development, we decided to abandon that map in favor of a new one. The new map is currently in its final stages of development, and we’ll be able to announce its release date very soon. It will be called SKYWAY!

    We've also removed the Discord link from our main page on Steam, but you can still join our Discord server by following this link: Discord Link

    Hi everyone! While we continue to work on new locations, we would like to introduce you to a feature that allows you to increase FPS on weak computers.
    AMD FSR adds the ability to increase frame rate on DirectX11 and DirectX12. You will get the best results on DirectX12.
