As promised, the Level Editor for Gorescript is now live!
The Level Editor allows you to create custom levels for Gorescript. You can:
Create entirely new levels and share them on Steam Workshop
Add monsters, weapons, powerups and explosive barrels
Add switches, trap doors and elevators
Modify lighting
Script various parts of the level using Lua
The editor is a separate app from the game itself, built as a JavaScript desktop application using GitHub’s Electron.
Mouse and keyboard controls
Here’s a listing of the primary mouse and keyboard controls for the editor.
Mouse:
Left-click and hold to select/draw (depending on the currently selected layer and mode)
Right-click and hold to move around
Keyboard:
Hold left CTRL to append/deselect an element when multi-selecting
Hold left SHIFT when drawing segments to draw them at 90 degree angles
Tutorial videos
The level editor might seem a bit scary at first, so we prepared some videos showing you how to build a simple Gorescript level. Since there’s never enough E1M1 tribute levels out there, here’s our take on the subject.
Setup, Segments and Sectors
https://youtu.be/Copo_nO9aws
In this part we go over installing the level editor from Steam and making your first room.
Levels in Gorescript are 2.5D, meaning you can never have one room over another one. Similarly, you can’t build actual bridges (the type where you can walk above and below them). Think of a level as a blueprint for one single floor of a house.
We’ve detailed how to install the editor step by step right here:
Step 1 – Go to the Library – Tools menu
Step 2 – Search for “Gorescript Level Editor”
Step 3 – Click to install
Step 4 - Start the Level Editor
The usual steps for building a room are:
Draw polygons using segments
Go through each polygon and convert it to a sector
Go through each sector and modify properties such as floor height, floor-ceiling distance, light level, light color, etc.
Mark certain sectors as doors
Add lights

The time has come for us to reveal Gorescript’s editor to our players who are passionate about creating new nightmare fueled horror filled game levels.
The editor will be available on Monday and we’re going to ease you into this by providing a series of tutorials. We’re quite sure you will surprise us and other Gorescript players with your creations.
Check out this first episode in which Sergiu is demonstrating how to start your journey into level creation. This part will cover how to add walls, pillars, stairs, doors and lighting.

Make sure to stay tuned as on Monday, September 18, we’ll launch the editor and the 6 episodes containing all the elements of the editor.

Gorescript is a classic FPS and some people, including us, would swear by that. However within the game the developer snuck some game elements that might change a bit your perspective.
Some areas in Gorescript’s levels seem like a platformer. Besides moving and shooting you need to tune your reflexes to move around with precision.
Some of the platformer areas make use of the “Strafe run” mechanic and if you manage to master that several goodies in the form of weapons and power-ups await you at the end.
For the fans of roguelike elements we have the permadeath mode. This is a high risk high gain game mode. Your score will increase and we have several achievements linked to this but at the same time, you need to be tough, pick yourself up and literally enjoy seeing the “You Died” screen followed by a new game start from the 1st level.
And finally you should be able to identify some survival horror elements in the Blackout mode. Your ammo is more precious since you’ll need it for lighting as well, making running for your life a very valid strategy, the darkened halls may get confusing and the special trigger events, unveiling monsters behind you come with an extra shot of adrenaline.

More than a month passed since the launch and it’s time to go through Gorescript’s press mentions. We were extremely pleased to see a lot of players and reviewers felt the same way we did about the game and identified the elements that we thought were the strong points of Gorescript.
Of course their feedback was valuable and we also managed to see some game elements are either not that strong or they require some tweaks to make them better.
PC Gamer caught on our intention to capture the classic feel of the old FPSs and obviously we’re glad they placed Gorescript in this special category.
Gorescript, through its early embodiment Gorescript Classic, started as a project that meant to recapture the feeling of Doom. Sergiu, the developer of Gorescript, besides being an avid Doom fan, also made some design decisions to keep Gorescript aligned with its inspiration source. Hand made levels, secret doors, the key card search and the 2.5D levels are some of the elements that became key features in Gorescript.
The fast pace and the ever present danger in the game is meant to keep you on your feet and moving constantly. We wanted to make an equally satisfying game for people who like to clear levels and for people who like to speedrun while dodging everything the game throws at them. We’re glad our “run and gun, get killed and start again” recipe works :D.
We’ll leave you with one of the reviews that identifies another key design element, the trap doors that open up and reveal monsters, just when you thought you were safe.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oK4RTO2Gojw
People have asked about the game’s story as well and judging by the speculations out there we could sum it up like this:
You are trapped in a labyrinth in space and The Illuminati and some diabolical Pac-men (or Swedish meatballs) are out to get you.
In truth, Gorescript is a setting similar with some of the 80s movies that feature the inside of a computer game. It also draws its inspiration from titles such as The Last Starfighter and Nightmares.
We’re so happy that our players and reviewers were spot on in identifying Gorescript’s elements and we’re extending our invitation to join the pixel horror filled maze.

Let me show to you some of the mentions we got on our first week (drumroll please!):
“...this is a classic-style FPS, but oh so much more deadlier, and presented with some charmingly enormous pixels.”
RockPaperShorgun
“We've seen a few other classic FPSes on this list and Gorescript fits right at home among them, a lot of fun in its own right.”
PC Gamer
“Keen understanding of both what made the arcade FPS of yesteryear great, and what could make it better: a rare homage in spirit over form.”
7/10 – OpNoobs
Cool huh? We are very excited that people actually "get" the game and move past the voxel wall.
Leaderboards time! You know about our global leaderboard right? Time to cheer for the people that made it to the top of the world (excluding Sergiu (the creator of Gorescript) who probably cheated his way to the top).
In the next week's update we will announce some awesome stuff that are coming (and when) in Gorescript. Till then,
