March 17^th, 2006 (1:29am) - Finnish game developer Frozenbyte has announced that it will release Level Editor tools for its action game Shadowgrounds.

The Level Editor will be released in April - coinciding with the North American and United Kingdom retail releases
of the game, which are set for April 18 and April 28.

With the Level Editor, gamers are able to create totally new missions and even mini campaigns. Other gamers can play the new missions or bigger modifications easily, because the Shadowgrounds Launcher configuration tool
will be updated with an easy-to-use mod launcher.

"We didn’t plan to release the tools to the public, but the demand was there
and we thought we’d just see what happens," said Hyvarinen and continued:

"There are some limitations, for example it’s not possible to create such complex buildings as in Shadowgrounds, because those were created with
professional tools like LightWave 3D. However, we are creating a set of small building blocks that can be used to create indoor spaces very quickly. The Level Editor gives gamers the possibility to create missions that are on par with the original Shadowgrounds missions"

Shadowgrounds was released in November 2005 in Finland and Germany, with France and Australia following in early 2006. Spring 2006 sees the game
released in North America, the UK, and many other territories. Shadowgrounds has a suggested retail price of 29.99 dollars/euros and the official website
is located at http://www.shadowgroundsgame.com/ .

The Level Editor will be released in April.
