S&L support for Secret Worlds map and maps editor now in beta

[David]

Stinky and Loof in Wonderland now supports maps! Map support is available in beta and includes the Secret Worlds map and a map editor that allows you to create a map for any standard or custom story.

The Secret Worlds map is available on the Story Selection form. Players who haven’t begun the Secret Worlds story will see only the map. Players who have begun the story will see both, with independent status (completing a level in the map doesn’t complete it in the story and vice versa). Levels entered from the map use the original Secret World graphics for coins and level exits.

Documentation for the editor can be found at https://tootsuite.games/en/storyMapHelp.html. You can create a map from any graphic and any standard or custom story. Once you’ve completed a custom map, you can publish it to the Custom Level Database where it can be downloaded and played by other players.

To access the beta, right-click on the game in your Steam Library and select Properties. On the Properties form, click on Betas in the left column, enter password SecretWorlds (all one word) in the Private Betas field, click the Check Code button, and accept the beta. Your game will be upgraded to the maps version. On the Steam Deck, tap the gear icon to access Properties.

Please let me know if you try the beta. I’d very much appreciate comments, suggestions, and bug reports, so I can incorporate them into the game before making this version publicly available.

Which brings me to something I should have said long ago: although I’ve made massive changes to the game based on your feedback, I haven’t always responded well immediately. I took some criticisms of the game personally, which was dumb, and sometimes responded bitterly when the criticisms did become personal, which was dumber (much dumber). This was particularly true in my response to Qloof, whose seven-page review was inciteful and very useful. My response was … neither inciteful nor useful, and I’d very much like to take it back. I’d like to apologize to anyone whom I frustrated. I’ll do my best to do better in future

Anyway, please let me know what you think of S&L’s maps!

Is the map available on the mobile app?

The map will be available on the mobile app when this version is publicly released. The beta is currently available only on Steam.

It's not often that a 'cutscene' or 'story-based' item from a Wonderland game makes it into the realm of the editable...thank you for this!
