No map editor or modding?

[Banjo Oz]

I really wanted to buy this, but without any way to make our own levels I just can't justify it. Does anyone know if there are plans for an editor being patched in later, since the game is still fairly new.

Did the first Escapists game come with the map editor from the start or was that added later?

Hey Banjo Oz,

We don't have anything to announce about a map editor or modding, but we will continue to support the game.

Thanks for the reply and glad to hear you have plans for this game; more levels seem like they'd be welcomed from what I've read here so far. I love the art style from the screenshots, by the way! The game looks really neat.

*Some* sort of modding tools or a map editor (something like the game Halfway provides, for example) would definitely sell me on this game in a heartbeat. Not being able to make my own levels, however, is sadly a deal-breaker for me. As cool as the game looks, I'll likely only buy this if I have the replayability assured by being able to make new stuff for it, especially since the game looks tailor-made for that kind of thing. These days, I rarely buy a game that doesn't support modding to some extent, as that's what gives most games longevity.

Again, I believe the original The Escapists at least has a map editor, right? I'd much rather buy TWD but The Escapists might be something I'd go for instead in that case.

Just checking, still no word on a map editor or modding tools, official or unofficial?

Hey Banjo,

No news yet, but we do have some exciting things lined up for both The Escapists and The Escpaists: The Walking Dead over the next two months. Stay tuned!

Okay, just letting you know that this game is an instant buy for me the moment there's news on a map editor or mod tools!

no survival mode.. ( map editor please )

[Banjo Oz]

Yes, still waiting for an editor or mod tools. Really want the game, but no editor is a dealbreaker for me sadly.

An Editor would be really cool.
Or an Zombie Mode.

There is many options to make the game even better
btw. sorry for my bad english, im german ^^

I would still love an editor (or even just map maker) for this game. Sadly it seems like the devs aren't interested in adding one, which is a shame since they did so for The Escapists. Games like this live or die long-term by having mod tools or at least "scenario editors".
