  • Patrol Creation - After placing an enemy you can design an enemy patrol. Each patrol waypoint can be placed normally, select the desired enemy rotation for that waypoint with Q or R | L2 or R2, and increase or decrease the wait time with E or F | L1 or R1.
    If a guard is already placed, you can add/change his route by holding MMB | hold Y button
Mission Objectives
There's different mission objectives available on user created levels. These objectives are:
  • Infiltration: Player must reach the target area.
  • Heist: Steal all relics.
  • Elimination: Eliminate all enemies in the level.
  • Target Hunt: Eliminate the special target.

All levels need at least one objective. To add one objective, go to the Objectives category, select an objective and place it.

Objectives can be mixed. For example, you can mix Heist and Infiltration by placing the relic to steal, and then placing a target area to escape to.
Publishing a Mission
Save Level
To save a level click Save on the Menu or in Level Settings. Saved levels will be placed at:
user folder\AppData\LocalLow\Lince Works\Aragami\LevelEditor\CustomLevels\LevelName

Level Settings
A level is defined by a Title, Plot, Preview Image, Allowed Techniques and Variants.
A good Title, Plot and Preview Image are crucial to create an eye-catching level in Steam Workshop.
Players will be able to use techniques that have been defined as 'allowed'.
Level Variants are modifiers which usually add extra difficulty to the level.

Review & Publish
To be published, a level must feature an objective, an Aragami spawn point, and have all Level Settings properly filled.
When you think your level is ready to be made public, go to Level Settings and press Publish. You need to accept the Terms and Conditions of Steam Workshop. If the level already existed in Steam Workshop (was previously published) then it will be updated with the new version.

Playing Workshop Levels
To play a published level you will need to subscribe to it on the Aragami Steam Workshop section. The download should start automatically and the level will be available in the game. All downloaded levels can be found in the Main Menu -> Missions -> Load Mission -> Community Missions.

Some levels are available to be played in online multiplayer mode. If you want to play a Workshop level online, all players must have the same Multiplayer Version of the game client, and the same version of the Workshop level.

If you want to keep your subscribed levels always updated, make sure to enable Automatic Updates in the Aragami Properties on Steam.

Great options but you should add more options in the editor, for example dialog options, animations, more relics, etc. :)

Hey there! Really enjoying the game so far - can't wait for own creations in the Level Editor
May I ask why there won't be any future updates towards the level editor? Is the motivation for it gone? Or is it too difficult to be coded? (I really don't know :P mainly talking about changing the landscape)
Because I've noticed that most building's fundaments adjust if you place it ontop of another object (ofcourse you can't really place it but you see the texture/fundament changing, so there's a function for this -> but why can't it be used in the editor?)
It'd push things even more and makes so many more things possible! :D Even tho already by now the editor is a lot of fun :P

I'm not too much into Unity just yet, but if somehow somebody can implement terraforming + changing the building's height, would you add it?


But as said - great game so far, I'm really enjoying it a lot! <3 Hope my question doesn't sound too pushy :P

It's a tragedy that the editor isn't more fleshed out with more things. I hope there's a sequel in the works...

why must it not be worked on anymore ;-;

Are the developers planning on adding water, bridges and hills? If so, when?

This level editor is absolutely fantastic. Will there be a variant to eliminate all enemies in the level at some point?

It makes me kinda sad that the 'Eliminate' goal was removed from the possible level goals. I get that after a time, the somewhat repetitive kill sequences can get a little boring for some, but a multiplayer map where overlapped enemies MUST be killed simultaneously, or alert the living one, has real interest for my friend and myself... Oh well, looking forward to upcoming additions to the level editor! (^_^)
Great game, guys!

Are we able to currently place more than one objective? (Victim and/or Relics)

I made a huge map only to find out I wasn't able to place more than one victim or relic which invalidated a huge portion of the map I created.

If we could place multiple, it'd also serve as checkpoints without being so linear. The freedom to go to any point first (assumign you made different areas with different themes...Like the ponds, graveyards, buildings, etc.

I hope you guys implement more 'pieces' into the mix soon too. There wasn't enough buildings, special characters (like bosses), different kinds of walls, etc. I'd love if we have rivers going through the base map too with bridges, etc.

Lastly the blue orbs/yellow barriers to block doorways would be an excellent addition.
I don't know what you guys are planning for with this editor but it could be REALLY fantastic if we had more freedom, like the actual game maps. Thanks for this game, in any case!
