Level Editor for Shadowgrounds

Game publisher Meridian4 and developer Frozenbyte are pleased to announce that they will release Level Editor tools to coincide with their release of their highly anticipated Action/Shooter, Shadowgrounds

“This is our way of thanking our fans for their support. We hope that the Level Editor gives Shadowgrounds more longevity and reinforces its position as a great, retro-inspired action shooter,” said Frozenbyte CEO, Lauri Hyvarinen.

“We didn’t plan to release the tools to the public, but the demand was there and we thought we’d just see what happens,” said Hyvarinen, “The Level Editor gives gamers the possibility to create missions that are on par with the original Shadowgrounds missions – and we can’t wait to see the results!”
