Upcoming Changes/Releases

Greetings, hard working Janitors! I hope everyone had a good, and decidedly spooky Halloween.

Well, it's certainly been a while since the last update, but we've got some exciting developments taking place!

New Content

First up, we have a new DLC level in the works. Similar to House of Horror, it will feature a single large level with a new and unique setting, some new gameplay features and generally all the other bells and whistles that come with its new theme.

• Achievements

• Collectibles

• Music

• A satisfying feeling

Along with the large DLC, we're adding two more free maps:

• One is a backwater jail subjected to something rather unfortunate.

• The other is an energy facility that may have stumbled upon something it didn't count on.

There are some interesting new features in there as well.

Now on to the second order of business, and it's an important one if you subscribe to any VCD workshop items, or create them. We're replacing the old(and pretty faulty) system with something new and better. For subscribers, it'll still work similar to the old one, but it'll be more stable and give you a bit more info.

For creators, there are some significant changes. There is now an interface for uploading mods, and the upload process and linking has gotten a bit clearer.

Unfortunately, this all comes with some problems...

Unforeseen Consequences

As a consequence of the workshop system changing. All existing mods will become unavailable to subscribers. At least at first. Needless to say, this is utterly horrible...

All workshop creators will be required to re-upload their mods once the changeover occurs, before anything will be available to subscribers again.

We're going to do our best to make this transition as smooth as possible for everyone involved, so if you are a workshop creator and want to find out all the info and give us your thoughts, then please proceed to this thread: https://steamcommunity.com/app/246900/discussions/4/1735469230216563373/

We're not yet fully committed to the changeover, so if enough of you think it's a bad idea, or it proves too buggy, we'll stick with the old system. Please let us know what we can do to help you migrate your mods, and what concerns you have.

More Workshop

Along with the system change, we've also been taking special note of the needs of workshop creators and are including a slew of improvements and fixes in the next update. If you would like to put forth ideas on things that will really help you, then head on over to this thread: https://steamcommunity.com/app/246900/discussions/4/1692669912403161024/

Some Better News

Besides all these workshop changes going on, we've also got a cluster of fixes for VCD. Many were aimed at smoothing out the rough edges. Some attention was paid to Multiplayer syncing, and also to speed-run stuff. More in the works, as always.

Now, VCD isn't the only thing we've been busy with. Oh no. We've actually been tinkering with a number of other projects. Some are further developed than others, but all of them have been a learning experience as well as helping us narrow in on a favourite.

We'll have something eventually. Things are still very much up in the air at the moment I'm afraid, but it's for a good cause. We're still as busy as ever.

Right, well that's about it. Send us your thoughts! They fuel the Argent Reactor that powers our machines.

Clean well!
