Dear Devs: What're the chances of an eventual map-maker?

Postby Matoka » Mon Sep 18, 2017 7:56 am

For a while there have been mods that allowed map creation for Slime rancher and using those you could make fancy new locations using in-game assets in the game already.

I'm aware mod support isn't something on the table right now, but would the base game ever receive a mode like this where you can fly around and design your own far-off ranch for people to play on? I as a simple player tend to not appreciate what kind of implications doing this could hold or even how difficult it would be, but I think it would be an awesome addition to the game that would add a lot more shelf life to the game after a few years.

This combined with the long-term possibility of mod support, and official map-making mode could add so much more replay-ability for people who have played the base game to death and have loved it all to pieces already c:

Dunno how likely I am to get a response, but it's definitely something i'm very curious about, designing my own Far-off ranch to give to friends seems like a very fun thing to be able to do.

Eventual is relative, so the chances are 0-100%. In the near future, 0.000000000000000000000000001%, maybe less.
