Spiral Knights is a straight forward game when it comes to maps, like games such as runescape, its built up of squares. This makes it extremely viable to add a custom map making method. This might seem very abusable to alot of you but if you hear me out you might like to hear more about the idea.
1. A greenlight system and a workshop where you can add your map and try other maps. There won't be any rewards in the map unless a mod adds rewards to the map for you so you won't abuse it.
2. You can connect buttons and other things to each other to react once they come in contact, you can place monsters used in other maps to create challenges and other obstacles.
3. If you can model and animate using your models you can create your own individual monster skins. En example would be a zombie with a more dark tone too it.
4. While in the testing phase the map will always revive you when you die, however if rewards are added by a mod the player must use their own sparks of life.
5. In the final stages of testing if results are great the map will be put up for a poll for all players to vote for its existance.
6. If a map breaks any of these rules it will be rejected instantly.
7. If a mod feels as if the map doesn't fit the game it will be rejected.
8. You can only have one active map up for review at a time.
9. Maps must contain atleast 4 different monsters of an amount of atleast 5 each and 2 different monster weaknesses. This does not apply to mobs such as Trojans or bosses or other tanky monsters.
10. If a map gets added the one who made it will always be the first to try it.
11. No copyrighted content can exist in a map.
12. All maps added to the workshop is of fair use to spiral knights and may be used in any way they want.
13. A map cannot be added without a poll.
14. Early access to the map will always appear in the extension pack for everyone to try as soon as the creator has played it or 24 hours after its release if creator is unavailible.
Additional rules can be suggested by you guys.
Please tell me what you think of this suggestion.
