A launch option has been added to Leadwerks on Steam that allows you to launch the Leadwerks Game Player outside of the editor. When you launch Leadwerks Game Engine from Steam, a dialog box appears and lets you choose whether to run the editor or the Leadwerks Game Player. (If you just launch the app from a desktop or start menu shortcut, the editor is run automatically.) You can subscribe to other users' games in the Leadwerks Workshop on Steam, and play them by launching the game player. The option is not yet available on Linux, since this requires an additional shell script the current stable build does not have yet.

One of the Leadwerks 3.3 features that's built into the current beta is the ability to select which Workshop packages get packed into your game when you publish, as a standalone or to the Leadwerks Workshop. In the current beta branch on Steam you can right-click on a Workshop folder and choose the "Add to Project" menu item. This will tell the publisher to include the contents of this package when your item is published. You must add each package you want to include, or it will not be included when your project is published.

This allows you to publish games without including every single Workshop package you are subscribed to.

These changes are available now on the beta branch on Steam.
