When are modding tools being released?

[Craig_Sutter]

Any hints? Hopefully, we'll get map maker right out of the gates. If there are not significant changes from civ V modding, the rest might come quicker. Dll is always slow.

I seem to recall reading an article that says they intend to release modding tools shortly after release. What that translates to quantitatively is uncertain.

 

[Acken]

We don't exactly know.

That said modding will be possible before that. Just not in a user friendly manner.

I'll be disapointed if it takes them more than a month to release just the .modinfo file compiler (modbuddy).

Has anyone heard anything about a map editor?

 

[Manifold]

Will there be from the release a world builder?

 

[SpaceCommunist]

Is the Civ 6 SDK not being released with the game on launch? That really stinks. :'(

The SDK should be available on release in my view. Especially with CTD errors happening to people. We are going to end up at the mercy of patches.

I think world builder will be in. I think we'll still have access to modbuddy, and fire tuner. I hope so.

That's good news the world builder would be good enough for release. Is this sure or a rumor?

He clearly signalizes that he "thinks" that it will work that way.

It's an informed guess based on past releases.

I think there with ultimately be a new modding tool released by Firaxis to make custom civilizations/city-states/leaders/buildings/etc. I assume they are targeting release for it to be available, but given the priority of other things it could lag behind the release as it's one of the easier things to push back.
