The modding tools for Dying Light, released earlier this month, have quickly taken off with a number of super creative Steam Workshop creations by Dying Light's fans. Techland reveals in a teaser trailer that the recently released developer tools are only just the beginning.
The trailer shows the upcoming features that Techland has in store for Dying Light developer tools which will soon be available in an upcoming major update for Dying Light. Techland has also organized the 'Beyond Dying Light' contest, encouraging players to try out the developer tools for some sweet prizes.
Dying Light developer Techland released the developer tools for the PC version of Dying Light in mid-April, allowing players to unleash their creativity and create their own quarantine zones, maps, stories, and custom scenarios. Players have since begun modding the game via the Steam Workshop. Recently, Techland has announced that the currently available developer tools are just the beginning as they continue to work on expanding and developing the editor. Techland has also released a teaser trailer regarding the upcoming update which shows the new features in the developer tools.
Some of the new features of the developer tools shown in the trailer include terrain creation and editing, custom models import, and multiplayer support. Techland promises to keep regular updates on the developer tools as they continue to expand it.
Techland commented alongside the teaser trailer, "Thanks to Dying Light Developer Tools you can take the quarantine zone in your own hands to create new maps, tell original stories, and design over-the-top scenarios. Don't miss that chance to unleash your inner developer!"
Techland, in partnership with NVidia, has also organized a content based contest called 'Beyond Dying Light,' challenging players to design the "most creative and insane piece of content" for a chance to win an ASUS GTX 980 Strix graphic card and an exclusive Dying Light Swag Bag. The rule is to create a custom map using the Dying Light Developer Tools with a theme of "3 minutes of crazy gameplay." The deadline for submission is on May 11, 2015.
Dying Light is an open world zombie apocalypse game that has become one of the most successful game releases this year. The game has further expanded with the release of the Dying Light developer tools for PC. Players are advised to keep in tune as the upcoming update will soon be released.
