The Level Editor allows you to create custom levels for Gorescript. You can:

• Create entirely new levels and share them on Steam Workshop
  
• Add monsters, weapons, powerups and explosive barrels
  
• Add switches, trap doors and elevators
  
• Modify lighting
  
• Script various parts of the level using Lua

The editor is a separate app from the game itself, built as a JavaScript desktop application using GitHub’s Electron.


Here’s a listing of the primary mouse and keyboard controls for the editor.

Mouse:

• Left-click and hold to select/draw (depending on the currently selected layer and mode)
  
• Right-click and hold to move around

Keyboard:

• Hold left CTRL to append/deselect an element when multi-selecting
  
• Hold left SHIFT when drawing segments to draw them at 90 degree angles

Tutorial videos

The level editor might seem a bit scary at first, so we prepared some videos showing you how to build a simple Gorescript level. Since there’s never enough E1M1 tribute levels out there, here’s our take on the subject.

In this part we go over installing the level editor from Steam and making your first room.

Levels in Gorescript are 2.5D, meaning you can never have one room over another one. Similarly, you can’t build actual bridges (the type where you can walk above and below them). Think of a level as a blueprint for one single floor of a house.

We’ve detailed how to install the editor step by step right here:

• Step 1 – Go to the Library – Tools menu
  
• Step 2 – Search for “Gorescript Level Editor”
  
• Step 3 – Click to install
  
• Step 4 - Start the Level Editor

The usual steps for building a room are:

• Draw polygons using segments
  
• Go through each polygon and convert it to a sector
  
• Go through each sector and modify properties such as floor height, floor-ceiling distance, light level, light color, etc.
  
• Mark certain sectors as doors
  
• Add lights

Gorescript Level Editor Help & Reference

• Only individual custom levels can be created and published. There’s no option to create and publish campaigns at this time.
  
• Since only individual custom levels can be played, there’s no “Permadeath” option when playing one.
  
• Your inventory and all random powerups are reset every time you die and respawn.

Gorescript is a classic FPS and some people, including us, would swear by that. However within the game the developer snuck some game elements that might change a bit your perspective.

Some areas in Gorescript’s levels seem like a platformer. Besides moving and shooting you need to tune your reflexes to move around with precision.



Some of the platformer areas make use of the “Strafe run” mechanic and if you manage to master that several goodies in the form of weapons and power-ups await you at the end.



For the fans of roguelike elements we have the permadeath mode. This is a high risk high gain game mode. Your score will increase and we have several achievements linked to this but at the same time, you need to be tough, pick yourself up and literally enjoy seeing the “You Died” screen followed by a new game start from the 1st level.



And finally you should be able to identify some survival horror elements in the Blackout mode. Your ammo is more precious since you’ll need it for lighting as well, making running for your life a very valid strategy, the darkened halls may get confusing and the special trigger events, unveiling monsters behind you come with an extra shot of adrenaline.
