Ready
Set Furthermore, we've decided to share these tools with anyone who purchases Arcanum! We're giving you the power to create your own custom worlds filled with oceans, forests, mountains, and even cities, all in a matter of minutes! When your done, you can send your world to your friends and play it together online.
Go! All the interfaces are point-and-click or drag-and-drop, making editing simple. We've even included a function that will allow you to create a map over a LAN with your friends simultaneously! And sharing the maps you make is a breeze because they are small enough to fit on a floppy disk. With Arcanum's World Editing tools, the possibilities are endless. You can create continents by spraying down large areas of pre-generated forest, swamps, snowy plains and more. Want a tropical forest in the middle of your snowy wasteland? Then zoom in, select from a large list of ground tiles and spray down the new ones you want. Watch how they properly transition automatically from ocean to desert to frozen tundra automatically. Ready to build a town? Create buildings simply by dragging out a box. Place a door or window by simply clicking on the walls where you want them to appear! It's as simple as that. You can use any piece of art in Arcanum, including spell effects, monsters, even castles to flesh out your world. And you can modify any creature or item in the game! Place down a regular rat, then scale him up 200%, give him the ability to shoot fireballs and rename him a "Giant Lava Rat". Place any item and edit it with the abilities you want. Make a sword that turns people to stone! Make a shield that deals an opponent electrical damage when struck! Make a staff that disintegrates everything on the screen! It's all up to you. Using wav and mp3 files, you can easily drop in custom speech for your characters, or sound effects for the areas you create. Want to add special movies or still shots that play at certain points in your module? It's all possible with the Arcanum Editor. And the control doesn't stop there! You can edit just about anything, even the lighting. You can set it up so that the entire world glows a dim shade of green, but only around midnight when the zombies rise from their graves! Or maybe you're the tricky type? You can set up elaborate traps throughout your module. You better be careful picking that chest. One wrong step and every door in the castle will lock itself tight! Handle that door with care. If you open it the wrong way you just might find yourself teleported to room full of Giant Spiders! We believe that the tools that will ship with Arcanum will truly revolutionize the game industry by putting the power to create in the hands of the gamer. The Arcanum World Editor. The possibilities are endless.
