Now that Revamped Reality is out, we have more news... Survive the Editor starts this week!

Survive the Editor is a 3-week long Distance level creation contest. We're so excited to be working with members of the community to bring you a fun competition with amazing prizes!

Running from Oct. 3rd to Oct. 24th, weekly winners will be chosen during the "Speedy Saturday" multiplayer meetup. Each week we'll announce a mode and theme, and it's up to you to create a level that impresses both our judges and the community.

TL;DR:

STEP #1: CREATE A LEVEL Each week we'll announce a new track type and theme. It’s up to you to create a track of that type, in-theme, and submit it before Saturday. STEP #2: UPLOAD TO STEAM WORKSHOP Once you're done, click Save & Publish to Steam Workshop from the Editor tab. Feel free to update your level as much as you like up until the 11:59pm deadline. Also make sure that your level is properly tagged by placing "[STE]" at the start of your level's name! STEP #3: JOIN SPEEDY SATURDAY Speedy Saturday is a community-run multiplayer meetup. Players come together to hang out and play Distance multiplayer from 11am - 1pm PST each Saturday. Simply start Distance, go to Arcade > Online, and either join a server or start one with "Speedy Saturday" in the server name. We'll be streaming, so if even if you don't feel like playing you can still join in the fun!
