Can you dig it!? Steam Workshop comes to Volcanoids this October!
Big announcement by independent, Prague-based studio Volcanoid! The gears continue to turn as their steampunk shooter survival game Volcanoids ramps up for another major update that will bring Steam Workshops support to the Steam-powered title.
Previous updates in Steam Early Access have brought new weapons, modules, enemies, and more to Volcanoids. Soon, it will be time to open the floodgates and let the full creative power of the modding community erupt on the Volcanoids island.
Volcanoids sets players on an expedition to a forsaken island racked by mysterious volcanic eruptions triggered by mechanical beings. In order to survive the island’s natural elements, players must commandeer and upgrade a drillship to dive below eruptions that make the surface uninhabitable for periods of time. By exploring the island, players can discover new blueprints for ship upgrades and equipment, resources to refine and build, and rare technologies that will turn the battle against the mechanical monstrosities. Discover the mystery behind the eruptions and reclaim the island as your home on your own, or tackle the challenge with two to four friends in multiplayer.
To aid the modding community, the Volcanoid team plans to make Blender asset galleries available and unlock every aspect of the game they can think of so that modders can change up drillships, guns, armor, buildings, modules, characters, decals, and more.
“Once the workshop is live, there will be full support for the modding community so that players have the power to create pretty much anything they want and make it part of the game,” said Volcanoids Marketing Manager, Richard Rampas. “Even if it doesn’t work 100%, our goal for Steam Workshop is to make pretty much anything that can be modded available to players who want to tinker.”
Modders interested in getting a head start with Volcanoids can hop on the game’s Discord to request access to a beta branch with work-in-progress Steam Workshop tools.
Volcanoids is currently available for Windows and Linux in Steam Early Access.
