澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Grounded's upcoming update lets you build custom exper🅰iences in the backyard using ꦕin-game tools.

Obsidian's Honey I Shrunk The Kids remix has spent the last year refining the c🐓ore bug-squashing, base-building loop. But now the team is ready to hand things off to the community in the Make It And Break It update coming on November 13. 

The upcom💧ing update brings something called the Playgrounds mode, which sounds similar to other custom-level editors like Halo's Forge. Essentially, you can place an unlimited number of buildings, obstacles, critters, and more around the pre-existing backyard or an entirely empty sandbox. The team has supposedly already built a functioning wave-based Coliseum and a sound-based puzzle using the tools on offer - just to give us a taste of what's possible.

"This feature has been on the backlog for a very long time," says game director Adam Brennecke in an interview with . "Giving people the opportunity to extend the lifetime of the games they enjoy is ꧒always really cool, which was very importanꦇt to us. We've always wanted to see what the community can make with these tools."

Brennecke also says that the modding community was incredibly influential to the Playgrounds mode: "That's the po🎶wer of mods, you never know what's going to happen. We'r💖e going to provide the tools, and someone's going to make something magical that others might get attached to, and we have no idea what that might be."

Adding such a mode has been a big boon for fellow Xbox exclusive Halo Infinite, which recently saw an influx of MOBA mode♊s, Pokemon arena simulations, and Kaijua versus Spart💜an events. I'🐈m more than excited to see similarly wacky creations crop up in O🦂bsidian's garden, too. All-out bee warfare? Horror mazes stuffed with spiders? We'll see what the community dreams up on November 13.

Despite the inevitable zaniness to come, Grounded is still a purely terrifying experience.
