Developer Saber Interactive now gives interested players free rein when it comes to creating their own content for Warhammer 40K Space Marine 2. To do this, they even provide access to their most powerful tools.
What tools are involved? In the official Discord Channel of the modding community for Space Marine 2, Game Director Dmitry Grigorenko assured players not only of support from the developers for creating their own content, but now even hands them in a way the keys to the game.
Interested players now have access to the internal editor that the team uses for the game’s development. The so-called “Integration Studio” provides them with all the tools to create all kinds of content faster and more enjoyably.
With this, modders have the opportunity to modify the game to an extent, as is possible and popular with Skyrim, design it according to their own ideas, and share it with the community.
The “biggest milestone in community support so far”
Game Director Dmitry Grigorenko describes this step in the Discord Channel as the “biggest milestone in community support.” Additionally, he highlights the advantages of this approach and looks forward to what is to come:
This is exactly the same editor that we use internally for all game development. No more editing files in Notepad and praying that you haven’t missed a bracket – Integration Studio makes editing SSL-related content ten times faster, safer, and more intuitive.
Not too long ago, I promised to support the modding scene – and we meant it. Watching this community grow, push boundaries, and create incredible experiences has been both inspiring and humbling. We can’t wait to see what you build next – whether it’s a cinematic campaign, a wild new game mode, or something we’ve never seen coming.
What is included in the toolkit? With Integration Studio, interested players can access the following tools:
- Level scenarios
- Game modes
- Custom designs – and even custom game logic
- AI behavior trees (in progress)
- The AI director
- Skills and melee combination logic
- VFX editing
- UI and HUD elements
With this, they can basically create anything they can dream of for the game. From their own campaigns to completely new game modes to co-op raids for 12 players (via x.com) pretty much anything is possible.
Space Marine 2 is among the most successful and best games in the Warhammer universe. In the future, there is also supposed to be an MMO that sounds almost too good to be true.
