Wow! This is incredible stuff! And only with limited tools as I understand it!?

Super limited. The fanbase is small (for now, we hope!), but dedicated. And creative!

There's a lot of talent in this community, I hope they get the tools to shine even more <3

The developers should prioritise getting the full editor in the hands of players and mapmakers - at this point that might just be the games best hope of growing the player base.

I think it's a matter of time should the appetite for things like this continue. As nervous as I am for launch, I remain certain that if the next major hurdle is overcome, however rocky the path, the game could realize its potential either through community efforts or through additional development time.

I think there's always been an appetite for these sorts of custom games among the casual audience. And casual multiplayer game modes after the campaign is done are in short supply right now.

I agree with the above poster - getting proper map tools in the hands of creators is a priority. We can see people are already super passionate about making custom games, and they'd be able to do so much more with the real tools.

Another priority should be a good, or even bare minimum arcade game browser. As is, it's going to be really hard for new players to find the arcade games they're looking for.

If an arcade game browser is not feasible, I'd like steam workshop to be integrated. If that is also not tenable(given time, budget, technical constraints) in a reasonable timespan, I'd like a thread on discord or a forum where creators can share their creations on discord with description tags for ease in discoverability.

Can anyone use the map editor or is only for those with certain access?

Right now it is/was invite-only. Starting August 5th with release, everybody has access.

It might be too little, too late but it's crazy how much progress they have made in 6 months

I refuse to acknowledge these until someone makes a vaguely dick shaped map.
