The Ukrainian game Threads of War, which 13-year-old Askold Kostyushko created with his father Andriy, a game designer at Creoteam, has received a major «Freedom of Creation» update. It allows you to completely redraw enemies and the environment and supports Steam Workshop.
«Do you want to fight in space instead of in the middle of embroidery? Or underwater? Go back to the classic 8-bit style or recreate the battles of World War II?», the update description says.
«Freedom of Creation» allows players to change enemies and environments; you can share your modified version on the Steam Workshop. You can also download mods from other players with a different playstyle.
The developers have prepared two custom mods that demonstrate the available features of the update. They have also created a guide that explains how to use the new tools.
Let us recall that the Ukrainian game Threads of War, created by game designer Andriy Kostyushko of Creoteam studio and his 13-year-old son Askold, was released last summer. It combines the mechanics of the classic NES Battle City game and roguelite mechanics with pixel graphics in the spirit of Ukrainian embroidery and tells the story of a full-scale Russian invasion.
dev.ua spoke with the developers and learned about how they set up the workflow, created the graphics and soundtrack for «Threads of War,» and why the game will have Japanese localization at release.
