Today we are excited to let you test a new mode: The Level Editor

This will be part of the scenario sandbox creator mode where you can design your fantasies with Melody.

Our goal with this first iteration is to make sure we identify any remaining issues and learn how to increase quality of life for the interaction with the level editor.  We have also added 5 Sample Maps showcasing future asset packs we will be adding for you to use. This means: Items in the Sample Maps are not represented in the Asset Content Browser yet.

Alpha 2.0.0 release is here! Check it out at: Mega

"For those not on a mega plan to avoid the download limit you need to make a free account and it will download as we are paying for a service that lets free users download larger files."

We are excited to see what you create! We have added a  #level-submission channel in the discord get creative and show of your work!

You can also ping Helltaker on discord and join the temporary voice channel #ask-helltaker-htf-level-editing-works if you have any issues with handling the editor.

Quick Tutorial

The level editor is a powerful tool with a lot of depth. We know this needs a tutorial, we are working away on a video tutorial that will drop in the coming days. In the mean time here is a quick tutorial for some base controls.

  • WASD to move
  • QE to move up and down
  • RMB hold to look around
  • Any UI element has mouse hover information
  • ESC opens menu to return to main game
  • To load sample maps use the arrow down icon in the save/load UI

New Features

Level Editor 

Level Editor added. Characters and S*x animations coming soon. 

Player Scale Increased

We did increase all characters scale by 1.25 in order to fit them better to the environments. This might cause issues in some areas that we have not discovered yet, so please keep a look out and report anything that's weird or game-breaking!

Known Bugs

Main Game

- Main Menu Music might not be playing in some cases  - Mirror in Bathroom is not showing the player character (in main game)

Level Editor

- quest marker icons are visible all the time (needs to be fixed in next build)

- using the back button in level editor´s  can lead you into an empty folder without any way

- camera rotation needs a rework, can currently randomly flip the view in some cases because the mouse leaves the main screen

- not all keyboard shortcuts are currently working in level editor.
