Custom Edition Part 1, Out Now
Arena Fans,
This is the first release in many (probably around 6 total) updates that are part of the Custom Edition package. This first one focuses on creating fighters as I have been working to make the jobs of content creators a bit easier.
So what's changed? On the main menu the layout is a bit different, you'll see a "Steam Workshop" button which takes you to the upload screen. From here you can see your current fighters that you've uploaded to the workshop and for the first time you can actually update your fighters. (this will be important for upcoming updates)
On the user side, fighters from the workshop now are decoupled from your personal catalog and are at the bottom of the fighter list. No longer do you have to delete and redownload characters to get the latest version, they automatically update!
Eventually this functionality will extend to Maps, Events, and Text after I've confirmed everything is working as intended. The next custom edition update will focus on Maps and will add another dimension to the current gameplay. Your bug reports are appriciated and I'll be watching the forums to make sure issues are cleared up ASAP!
