Create your own Shadow Gambit missions with the free "Modding Tool" update and share it with the world.
Ahoy there!
We know, we've said the Shadow Gambit DLCs would be the team’s last update. But they actually have one more thing to share with the community.
Since Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun, many players have been requesting some sort of modding-level editor for our games. So, they took a first step in that direction with the implementation of the "Level Editing Cheats" for Desperados 3.
Today, they are thrilled to release the "Modding Tool" for Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew as a free update!
Please note: This tool is officially supported on PC only. Be aware that bugs may appear in the modded content, which we won't be able to fix in the future.
Create your missions & stories!
Get ready to unleash your imagination. The new "Modding Tool" empowers you to create your own custom mods!
This new feature puts the creative powers in your hands, allowing you to craft your own missions and forge your own captivating stories.
Spawn characters, enemies and NPCs throughout a level. Have fun placing different objects and interactive elements to create a new dynamic landscape within the existing locations of Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew. Set animations, establish routines for enemy guards, and even add your own dramatic flair with (non-voiced ;D) dialogues and cutscenes. Just let your creativity run wild!
There are some limitations as it's not a fully-fledged modding editor. However, the emphasis of the "Modding Tool" lies on the thrill of adding new elements in real-time and shaping the game to align with your vision for crafting custom missions.
All in all, they hope that the "Modding Tool" will offer a really fun way for you to get creative and to keep the Shadow Gambit flame alive!
Sharing is caring!
Of course, the "Modding Tool" wouldn't be complete without the ability to share your masterpieces with friends and fellow players.
To facilitate this, they've added a very handy "Export" feature. This allows you to elegantly export your creations to a designated "Mods" folder on your PC.
You can then easily upload your mod to the official Shadow Gambit modding space on Mod.io: https://mod.io/g/shadow-gambit
