    Build, Shape, Remake — Pompeii: The Legacy Gets Steam Workshop, Map Editor & Mod Tools in Monumental Update

    Siscia Games unlocks endless creativity for Roman city-builder fans with its biggest release yet

    Independent Croatian studio Siscia Games has dropped one of the most substantial updates in the life of its Roman city-building title Pompeii: The Legacy, opening the floodgates to community-driven content with full Steam Workshop integration, a powerful in-game Map Editor, and a suite of dedicated modding tools.

    What Just Landed?

    This isn’t just another patch — it’s a transformation of how you’ll play. The update rolls out three major pillars:

    Steam Workshop Integration

    From today, players can browse, subscribe, and download custom maps, scenarios, building packs, gameplay tweaks, and total conversions directly through Steam — all without leaving the game. Siscia Games has built the system to be seamless: one-click installs, automatic updates, and built-in rating and discovery tools to surface the best community creations.

    In-Game Map Editor

    You don’t need external software or coding know-how to craft your own Campania. The new Map Editor lets you sculpt terrain, shape coastlines, place rivers and mountains, and paint soil fertility and resource distribution — all inside the game. Lay out your own version of the Bay of Naples, reimagine Pompeii on a different scale, or build entirely new regions across the Roman world. When you’re done, publish straight to Steam Workshop in seconds.

    Dedicated Modding Tools

    For creators wanting to go deeper, Siscia Games is releasing official modding tools alongside the update. These allow modification of building assets, economic systems, event scripts, visual effects, and beyond. Whether you’re adding new temples, rewriting trade mechanics, or crafting custom narrative scenarios, the toolkit is designed to be accessible to beginners while offering depth for experienced modders.

    Why This Matters

    Pompeii: The Legacy has always stood out in the crowded city-builder space — not just for its striking setting, but for its respectful, detailed approach to recreating life in the shadow of Vesuvius. Now, with this update, the game evolves from a carefully crafted experience into a platform for endless player creativity.

    Siscia Games, an indie team based in Croatia, has built its reputation on listening closely to its community. Every feature in this update has been shaped by player feedback, with map-editing and modding support consistently topping community wishlists since launch.

    What’s Next?

    The team has confirmed this is just the beginning. Planned improvements include:

    • Expanded editor brush tools and terrain assets
    • Official curated showcase of top community maps
    • Support for scenario scripting and custom events
    • Cross-promotion partnerships with leading modding groups

    The update is live right now and completely free for all existing owners.

    Start Building Your Legacy

    Whether you want to design the perfect city, reshape the landscape, or reimagine Roman life entirely on your own terms — the tools are in your hands. Step away from history books and start writing your own.

  • Mod the Apocalypse: Terminus: Zombie Survivors Gets Steam Workshop Support in Free 1.3 Update

    Mod the Apocalypse: Terminus: Zombie Survivors Gets Steam Workshop Support in Free 1.3 Update

    Longplay Studios has officially launched the highly anticipated 1.3 update for its award-winning turn-based survival roguelike, Terminus: Zombie Survivors. Having surpassed 150,000 copies sold on Steam, the hit indie game is giving back to its thriving community by delivering one of its most frequently requested features: full Steam Workshop mod support.

    Best of all? The update is completely free for all existing owners of the game.

    Endlessly Customizable Survival

    Since its initial release, Terminus: Zombie Survivors has captivated players with its deeply tactical turn-based grid movement and unforgiving mechanics. Every step in its procedurally generated, 150+ location cityscape demands careful planning—forcing survivors to strictly manage hunger, hydration, morale, warmth, and energy while dodging hordes of the undead.

    With Update 1.3, the power to shape the end of the world is now directly in the hands of the players. With full Steam Workshop integration, modifying the apocalypse requires nothing more than a single click to subscribe.

    Mods can modify or extend nearly every system in the game using simple JSON files, including:

    • Occupations, Traits & Perks: Craft custom survivor archetypes or tweak existing traits.
    • Weapons, Armour & Items: Adjust durability, damage, weight, or introduce entirely new gear into the pool.
    • Recipes & Crafting: Expand cooking, crafting, and survival mechanics with new blueprints.
    • Enemies & World Balance: Alter zombie drop rates, spawn stats, or make global adjustments to trait points and stat limits.
    • Custom Visuals & Localisation: Swap out in-game sprite art or create complete fan translations with custom fonts.

    The update also ships with a dedicated standalone Workshop Uploader tool and bundled example mods, making it easy for aspiring creators to package, validate, and upload their own creations.

    Over 50 Mods Already Live

    The community hasn’t waited around to start tinkering. Thanks to a busy beta testing period, over 50 player-created mods are already live on the Steam Workshop right now.

    Interestingly, early modders aren’t just making the game easier—many are aiming to make the post-apocalyptic nightmare even more brutally realistic.

    “The first thing beta modders did was make the game harder: tougher zombies and a crueler balance than we ever shipped. That told us we were right to open everything up,” said Shin In-geon, lead developer at Longplay Studios.

    How to Get In on the Action

    Whether you’re looking to turn up the difficulty, download custom survival gear, or build your own post-apocalyptic scenarios, Update 1.3 offers endless replayability to an already rich roguelike experience.

    If you haven’t yet taken your first steps toward safety in Terminus: Zombie Survivors, now is an ideal time to jump in. The game is currently discounted by 40% on Steam as part of Steam’s PvE Survival Crafting Fest (running through September 14).
