The modding update has been out a little while now and we're having SO MUCH FUN riding through all of your amazing creations. We hope you are too!

To celebrate, here are our 5 MUST TRY MODS to get you started and thinking about what YOU could create!



https://descenders.mod.io/stoker-bike-park

Although this is still a work in progress and Spe says there's still a lot of content to come, this is a GREAT flowy map with tons of potential. If you're looking for a nice realistic park, make sure you load up this one!



https://descenders.mod.io/descetopia
Mountain biking through streets, across buildings and climbing to the top of skyscrapers? Yep. Descetopia has it all for you! A great place to show off skills you've picked up across levels like Favela!



https://descenders.mod.io/oso-creek
Looking for a bike park with a little more bite? Oso Creek is a great & fun wooded environment with lots of challenging ramps and flowing sections to navigate!



https://descenders.mod.io/mega-park
A hardcore map for those looking for a serious playground. Showcase your skills and be ready for some surprises - there are quite a few!



https://descenders.mod.io/forest
Another work in progress but a really great idea that with some more content will be a STELLAR map. If you're looking for that bang on downhill experience down muddy tracks with some really interesting technical aspects, you've got it!



We can't wait to see what else folks come up with in future, and can't wait to see videos and screenshots from these and all the other maps up on mod.io already!

As always, thank you for playing <3

IT'S HERE! The Modding Update is live for Descenders!




This is one of the biggest updates ever for Descenders, and we're so excited that it's finally ready! It includes:

- Mod downloads! Boot the game up and you'll find a new MODS option, where you can download levels other people have made (and find details on uploading your own!)

- Mt. Rosie! A gigantic new map to explore, 4km x 4km in size, hand-crafted for your entertainment. Take some friends out on the slopes!

- Bikeout! It's the classic Wipeout game show, but on bikes! Try to survive until the end (if you can)

We know we said Steam Workshop originally, but since we've been exploring options and found if we used the mod.io system then it would make a TON more sense, as it allows PC players on Steam to also play with PC gamepass folks! We're sorry to have changed plans on you, but we wanted a system that would work for everyone in the end!



If you're up for learning how to make levels of your very own, or looking for some collaborators, head to the DISCORD, where we've got some channels up and running for budding track builders!

Here's the trailer showing it all in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqiCxfm_qcM

See you on the mountain!

We thought we'd update you on our next adventure - Steam Workshop support!

A little while ago we talked to you about how the modding community had started to gather over on our Discord, and we've been blown away by the response. We've seen some crazy maps being built, and we were inspired to work on a way to support the community officially. We can't wait for these maps to be played and enjoyed by as many people as possible!

Not only have we been excited to see everyone else's maps, but we've been busily making our own too to give you an idea of what you can make and play! Welcome to BIKEOUT!



It's coming soon, though if you're into sneak peeks, Rosie from Rage Squid is showing it off RIGHT NOW over on the Rage Squid Twitch Channel!

We can't wait to see what you come up with, and we can't wait to introduce you to more of our wacky maps!

Love,

RageSquid xoxo

Hey all,

Thank you all for the amazing support you've given us since Descenders launched in May. We're here with the first real content update. The number 1 requested feature was 'I want to be able to play career with my friends' so that's exactly what we're introducing today. We've also seen that a number of people in the community have started hosting their own tournaments so we made a few improvements to spectator mode to accommodate for that a bit better as well.

That's not all however, this little update comes with some new items to unlock; Discord user Kingkrautz has been making some awesome gear based on nations and we're happy to include his gear officially in the game. Redeem code: 'NATIONS' and see if your country is there. If not it might be included in a next update.



Next update? Yes, we're still working on more to bring to Descenders. We are looking into workshop support so that people can download awesome custom maps through Steam. Another thing that's in the works is this BIG environment (16 times as big as a standard terrain) with lots of exploring. Stay tuned!



Much love,

RageSquid & No More Robots

Changes:

• Multiplayer Career:
  - The 'Casual' option in the Game Modes menu has been renamed to 'Multiplayer'. The lobby now defaults to a career session but a casual session without health and unlocks is still available in the lobby settings.
  - Unlocks can be earned in this multiplayer mode. The rarity of the unlock is based on the average rep of all the players in the room.
  - When a player runs out of health they're forced to spectate until the rest of the group finds and finishes a Medic camp. This brings back the knocked out players in the following level.
  
• New unlocks:
  - Added several new items of all rarities to unlock. This includes several items created by our lovely community members over on Discord <3
  
• Spectate quality of life changes:
  - You're now able to start a lobby as a spectator.
  - Spectators can now see the leaderboards in the post-game screen.
  - Seed list games are now treated as a single session, scores no longer reset after each level.
  
• Misc:
  - Sponsor office leave team button moved so it isn't pressed accidentally as easy.
  - Drastically lowered the multiplayer network traffic.
  - Lobby browser now shows which rooms are locked or password protected.
  - Inactivity timer in multiplayer session down to 90 seconds from 120 seconds.
  - The 'Descenders' track by T&Sugah added to the pool of songs used when the shuffle option is toggled on.
  - Bugfix: Team can now be left using the controller/keyboard in the sponsor office.
  - Bugfix: Volcano environment is now accessible in multiplayer sessions.
  - Bugfix: No longer able to pause/leave the game during the multiplayer level start countdown.

One of the most requested features of Descenders has always been a level editor where users can build their own levels to share with friends, and thanks to the amazing efforts of Mayhem and the modding corner of the Discord, you can now build your own levels, import them and share them with others!



You'll have to get to grips with Unity and some 3D Modelling software like Blender, but the results are amazing and we're so excited to see what people start to build. A few cool looking maps are already shaping up, like this one from Chicken666!



We'd love to keep supporting modding if enough people are interested in it, so this is your invitation to get stuck in and involved! The modding section has all the details you'll need to start importing and building maps as well as some helpful advice, streams and guides to building the map of your dreams.

Find out more here - http://Discord.gg/Descenders

Let us know how you get on, help other users build and get involved and get playing some custom maps - we can't wait to see what you dream up!

1.0 is finally here! We're so excited to share the complete Descenders experience with you and we cannot wait to see you share it with your friends!

First off, a big thank you so much to all the folks who've been watching the game progress since we first launched into Early Access - your kindness, your passion for the game and your sick runs have been keeping our fires lit and pushed us through, we could not have done this without you!

So, what's new?



MULTIPLAYER IS HERE!
Find other players from around the world in the new hub and career modes, or join up with some friends in a casual lobby! Race down the steepest tracks, chill out at the skate park or play a game of hide and seek, the nine worlds are now all yours to play with however you and your friends want to!

NEW WORLDS
Mastered Peaks? Got that Volcano run down? Then it's time to jump into the FOUR NEW WORLDS complete with their own boss jumps! These are testing environments with some difficult obstacles, so make sure to bring your A-game! You can even get practising in the BRAND NEW HUB!

MORE GEAR
It's time for a new colour scheme. Trust us. Maybe even a new handlebar companion, complete with totally not annoying noises. Perhaps a community built item (shoutout to the amazing designers in our Discord whose items made the cut <3) or a female rider? Don't worry, we've got you covered!

To celebrate all this new hotness, Descenders will be 25% for a whole week! There's never been a better time to grab some friends and jump in!

We're excited to ride alongside you and see you all at the bottom. This has been a wild ride for us, and we're glad you're right there with us.

After 15 months, and more than half a dozen major updates, Descenders is ready to leave Early Access. Thanks so much for taking this journey with us, and prepare yourselves for what the full Descenders experience has in store for you!

Here's what you can expect when The Multiplayer Update drops on May 7.


Imagine this: You boot up Descenders, into the brand new central hub (more on this below). All of a sudden, a bike goes flying by... then another... and another!

When you boot up Descenders, and anytime you go back to the main lobby, your hub will be filled with other players. You can ride around with them, check out high scores, explore the outskirts of the hub, whatever you like.

When you dash off into a Career session, you won't be alone either. You'll encounter random riders, playing the same seed as you in real-time. There are no collisions so you can't smash into each other, but you can race through the world and explore together.




If you're not a fan of stranger danger, you can choose to start a Casual Lobby with friends. Invite your friends via Steam, and they can join up with you, and race through any of the worlds in the game.

It's up to you whether you race, explore, compete for score, mess around together, see if you can line up 7 riders and jump over all of them...

How you play Descenders with your friends is up to you!


Was five worlds not enough for you? How about four brand new worlds you've never played before?

Introducing CareerPlus Mode. When you've collected enough Rep, you'll unlock this mode which essentially gives you a whole new Career to play through, complete with four new worlds.

Check out the gifs for a sneak peek. And speaking of new areas...




Whenever you boot up the game or finish a run, you'll be booted into the new central hub area. It's much, much bigger than the original hub, and features a bunch of really cool areas to explore.

You can still find The Shed, and your team's tent, but you'll also find other useful areas, like a giant leaderboard that updates to show your best scores.


New music! New options! New sounds! New items! New bikes! New achievements! Play as a man or woman! New everything!

When the 1.0 Update hits on May 7, Descenders is going to feel like a very different game -- and we can't wait to share it with you.

See you all next week!

Love
RageSquid + No More Robots
