It has just been announced that Blizzard Entertainment?s team shooter, Overwatch, will be receiving a new Workshop Mode. In the Workshop, players will be able to create various types of game modes that they can play with friends, much like Fortnite?s Creative Mode. Blizzard described the new mode as a ?simplified game scripting system that expands the customization features available in the Game Browser.?
When you create a mode within the Workshop, you are creating a script. This script adds on to the already established Game Modes within Overwatch. You can then add rules to that script to dictate things like how a player moves, which abilities they can use, whether or not text displays, or even to change the ways in which players are healed or damaged. Blizzard used the Molten Floor option as an example of one type of game mode you could create using the Workshop Mode. Molten Floor will make it so any players on the ground will receive fire damage over time.
Players will no doubt find creative ways to make some interesting game modes using this new feature, and I am excited to see just what people come up with over time. One of the great things about a Workshop Mode in a game is that the only limitation is the creator?s imagination.
