I spent a few evenings with Theme Hospital non secular sequel Two Point Hospital final summer season, and it was kind of what I anticipated: the calming pleasantry of a cruise ship filled with ambiently holidaying retirees, versus the wilderness backpacking expertise of modern-day administration sims (yer Banisheds and RimWorlds and Frostpunks). Nowt improper with that, after all: alternative is king.
After a profitable launch, now the main target is on the lengthy game, one thing its Bullfroggy predecessor didn’t actually have to consider. The new, free Interior Designer replace seems like an necessary step there. With it, you may plaster partitions and flooring with any nightmarish design of your alternative, after which share it with the Steam Workshop. I demand a picture of Charlie from Casualty on each obtainable floor, stat.
The Interior Designer replace, launched yesterday, is free and two-pronged. Prong the primary is a brand new in-game software with which you’ll be able to impressively quickly apply your individual pictures to varied wallpapers, flooring and footage. Prong the second allows you to share these designs on the Steam Workshop, thus serving to out folks who don’t know their means round Photoshop or have hit the restrict of how amusing it’s to plaster a hospital’s partitions with deeply threatening pictures of Two Point’s artwork director, as seen above.
While puppeteering the lives and loves of trouser-wetting pc folks was the rapid promoting level of The Sims, a giant a part of its long-term success was the doll’s home ingredient, styling their houses and garments to your individual, hateful tastes, and an enormous modding scene to help this rapidly struck up. (Which EA subsequently sought to manage in favour of promoting design choices themselves. The H&M growth pack stays the stuff of eternal infamy).
As such, visible mod help is one thing I feel is important to the persistent lifetime of a game like Two Point Hospital, so it’s good to see that they’re embracing it wholeheartedly.
Here’s a video displaying all of it off:
Needless to say, somebody launched a recreation of the original Theme Hospital’s wall’n’floor textures inside about 5 seconds flat. Meanwhile, I’ll clearly be putting in this Twin Peaks Black Lodge pack forthwith.
Damn high quality textures, and many others. This art deco pack is swell, too.
The Interior Designer replace will provides itself robotically through Steam. And right here’s our well-chuffed Two Point Hospital review, in case you missed it.
