Our Contagion Steam Workshop is finally out allowing users to publish their maps and other mods! Be sure to check our Contagion WIKI and visit our Mapping & Modding discussions to share your work before publishing! Worth mentioning we will be adding in an in-game store later for the freelancers, those looking to step into that world, or those who've honed their skills allowing for Unofficial content to be sold (so long as no one is infringing on anyone's work) and possibly including work for Official content (no eta on this just yet).
Which is a perfect combination with our newly released (WIP) much demanded and recently added ZPS inspired "Panic" Game-Modes which right now are working on edited versions of existing maps especially with all the talk of porting maps over via workshop. This does not replace ZPS but we're hoping our veterans will step in and help us in quickly balancing it out. We're looking for enthusiasts in this regard to post in our Panic Specific Discussion
More has been added and more is being added with CE_Biotec nearly done and looking at an early release next month as well as much more every month. There will be balancing and fixes on anything we catch but as you can see we've even improved hit-box code! We are always listening both good & bad and even when we can't see it ourselves we rely on your eyes and comments.
Preview Biotec
Also keeping up with our Kickstarter backers another has contacted us and requested this golf club!
