Komstructor Collective
All of the dungeons in King of Meat have been made with the same tools that you will use to create your own fiendish playgrounds. If you can play it, you can build it. There will be around 100 levels available for you to play at launch, but that number will quickly grow as the community pushes Create Mode beyond its limits.
The Komstructor Collective is a group of exemplary community members that love making dungeons. If you’d like to join, please submit your dungeons in Discord throughout our Technical Test. If your creations catch our eye, we’ll reach out via Discord. We’ll also host "Build Challenges" for you to show off your creativity and potentially join the Komstructor Collective. There’s no restrictions or requirements for what you can build, we just want to help empower players that love Create Mode.
Komstructor Collector perks include:
Featured in-game dungeons and title
Exclusive Discord channels
Appearance in the game credits for those that join pre-launch
Exclusive in-game Contender skin
Feedback play sessions
And more!
