Greetings everyone!
In the past couple of months, I've been working hard on the functionality that allows anyone to side-load almost any content into the game. This way when anyone wishes to create a mod for the game, they can follow a structure supported by the game to make it happen.
You can:
Yes! You can use the Steam Workshop Uploader Tool built-into the game to upload your content.
Yes! As long as both players have the same content via Steam Workshop, you can. Please note that this feature is still under development. If you find issues or something does not work, please report them so they can be fixed.
Besides the legal limitations and a few internal functionalities, I have not put any limitations on what you can create and load into the game. If you make something and it doesn't work, you should let me know! Almost everything should just work!
Yes! I worked very hard on making the guide on almost every aspect of creating custom content, available in two places:
The HTML file in the game folder, is the most reliable and up-to-date documentation. This documentation gets updated periodically (where necessary) with every update of the game.
Since this very very big feature is still under development, make sure you are on the Beta channel of the game (on Steam: game properties -> 'Betas' tab -> select beta). This way you will receive the fixes within a few days and can continue creating your content.
I hope this announcement reaches you and I look forward to receiving enough constructive feedback to improve this feature as fast as possible.
Please let me know when something does or does not work for you!

What kind of mods can be made for the game?
You can:
- create any environment along with your own objects (stationary or allow user to interact with), animations, interactions and basically customizing almost anything in the game (visual as well as behavioral).
- add your own music loop files to be played during the games
- create and add your own board games with their own elements.
What about Steam Workshop? Can the creations be uploaded and shared there?
Yes! You can use the Steam Workshop Uploader Tool built-into the game to upload your content.
Can we play a custom game, music or environment in multiplayer?
Yes! As long as both players have the same content via Steam Workshop, you can. Please note that this feature is still under development. If you find issues or something does not work, please report them so they can be fixed.
Are there any limits on what can be made and published?
Besides the legal limitations and a few internal functionalities, I have not put any limitations on what you can create and load into the game. If you make something and it doesn't work, you should let me know! Almost everything should just work!
Is there any guide or documentation for this very very big feature?
Yes! I worked very hard on making the guide on almost every aspect of creating custom content, available in two places:
- An HTML file in the game installation folder named: `library_items_guide.html`
- On Steam, under the Guides section of the game.
The HTML file in the game folder, is the most reliable and up-to-date documentation. This documentation gets updated periodically (where necessary) with every update of the game.
How frequent can we expect updates and fixes?
Since this very very big feature is still under development, make sure you are on the Beta channel of the game (on Steam: game properties -> 'Betas' tab -> select beta). This way you will receive the fixes within a few days and can continue creating your content.
I hope this announcement reaches you and I look forward to receiving enough constructive feedback to improve this feature as fast as possible.
