Build your own challenge modules
Challenge Mode is not just a mod. It is a foundation for challenge creators who want deeper gameplay, reusable systems, and clean modular delivery.
Why build on Challenge Mode?
- Reusable challenge systems: Don't reinvent the wheel. Use our built-in UI, save data, and event hooks.
- Module discovery & initialization: The core automatically detects, initializes, and manages your module on save load.
- Shared persistence: Store your module's custom data directly in the challenge save state safely without breaking user saves.
- Common UI patterns: We provide the Dashboard interface, you just inject your own data, stats, and text.
- Easier maintenance: Keep your module clean. The framework handles the dirty work of game updates.
- Clean separation: Focus entirely on content and rules, leave the system-level interactions to the core.
