Hi everyone 👋

Just a quick heads up before Steam Next Fest regarding the Steam Deck and Linux compatibility - Planetiles demo runs perfectly fine on Valve's device, with locked 60fps.



With all the support from Linux community, we wanted to give back with a native game build for this platform and you should be able to launch Planetiles on any OpenGL/ Vulkan compatible OS with x86-64 architecture.

In this video, a Survivor encounters a surprise User-Created Cosmetic Costume dynamically added onto any server, including official servers.... and then, journey into the brave new world of Total Conversions using the new Mod game framework, which enables nearly anything that Unreal Engine can do to be released as a cross-platform Mod. We've created a quick example to show one way to use it.

And then next up, the Mod Spotlight features basic examples of player-created Custom Structures which as of next week can be dynamically added onto any server, including Official Servers, allowing infinite functionality and visual variety. Finally, onto the Cross-Platform Mods released this week!

This video features:

• Amissa by Sicco0803
  
• Horizon Wyvern by EclipseModding
  
• Cyrus’ Critters by CyrusCreates
  
• Primitive Weapons, Tranqs and resources by Frenchie
