Hey again everybody, it’s been a minute! I don’t intend for there to be a 2-month-plus gap in updates in the near future, things just kinda worked out that way this time around. Anyways, without further ado, here’s what’s new:

Level Editor and Steam Workshop Beta
The long-awaited level editor and workshop support are finally here… in beta form! This early version is being released as a way to gather feedback and for players to add content to the workshop before it releases officially. Since this is an “unofficial” launch, you’ll need to do the following in order to enable the level editor and workshop beta:

1. Join the the Streets of Rogue Workshop Beta group. This will allow you to see the Workshop content when you visit this link.
2. Right-click Streets of Rogue in your Steam library. Go to Properties -> General -> Set Launch options, and enter “leveleditor”. This will allow you to use the level editor beta.



And that’s it! Check out this video for a quick overview of how the editor works.

The non-beta version of the editor should be coming in January if all goes well. Be sure to post your feedback in this thread and start sharing your creations on the Workshop!

New playable character: Mobster
Shake down business owners for extra income in your pocket at the start of each level. Or just mug random people for their cash. Just remember to pay off the cops as well, or you’ll end up in a bunch of trouble!
