Human Fall Flat Character Workshop: A New Opportunity for Creators

The Human Fall Flat character workshop has been a game-changer for mod makers and developers alike. By allowing creators to work on their mods full-time, the workshop has opened up new opportunities for community creators to receive a share of the rewards. However, it's clear that this case is different from previous attempts at community engagement.

In an effort to better support mod communities, we've been shipping features aimed at allowing community creators to receive a share of the rewards. Unfortunately, we didn't fully understand the implications of our actions, and for that, we apologize. We've spoken with the team at Bethesda, and they agree that our approach was misguided.

To make amends, we're announcing a refund policy for anyone who spent money on a mod through the workshop. Additionally, we'll be removing the payment feature from the Skyrim workshop to prevent similar issues in the future.

However, this doesn't mean we're abandoning our efforts to support community creators. We're introducing a new feature that allows users to insert Sketchfab previews into Steam Community Discussions, Announcements, and Greenlight submissions. This will enable creators to showcase their work in a more interactive way, allowing users to zoom, pan, or rotate around the model to get a better view.

To use this feature, you'll need to create a free account on Sketchfab's website and upload your model similar to how you would post a video to YouTube. Once uploaded, you can insert the URL into the new field provided in the Steam Workshop when editing screenshots and videos for your item.

For example, Johnskyrim's Doomhammer mod showcases this feature beautifully, allowing users to interact with the 3D model of his Skyrim weapon mod. This is just one way that Sketchfab previews can be used to enhance community engagement and provide a more immersive experience for users.

By incorporating Sketchfab previews into the workshop, we're giving creators new opportunities to showcase their work in a more engaging way. We hope this feature will encourage even more community creators to share their mods with the world, and we look forward to seeing what they come up with next.
