Greetings, Void Hunters!
We have an exciting new feature coming and we need your help!
We are introducing Community Skins to the game! We have integrated Soulstone Survivors with Mod.io and we are looking for awesome players to be among the first to add their creations to the game’s library before this feature is released to the public!
You will now be able to create and share your own custom 3D models of characters AND weapons as free skins to all players! Not only will you be helping us in test out and improve this feature, but the top voted creations will receive Steam Gift Cards AND be showcased in our feature release video once this update comes out to everyone!
If you are feeling inspired and would like to help us, it’s super easy, barely an inconvenience! We have prepared two official guides that go through all the steps, so check out the details below:
How do I participate?
First, you will need to access a special version of the game. To do this, go to your Steam Library, right click Soulstone Survivors, go into “Properties”, and under the “Betas” tab, you will see a drop-down next to “Beta Participation”. Click it and you will see an option called “communityskins”. Select it, and your game will update to a different version.
Step 1:
Step 2:
Warning! Any game progress you make while in this version of the game will not be saved! Your save files will be safe, but make sure to use this version ONLY to create skins!!
How to download, create and share skins?
To download skins all you have to do is go to Characters -> Appearances -> Community Skins. This will open the Mod.io interface where you can browse and subscribe to any skins you fancy!

To create and share skins, we also tried our best to make this process as easy as possible, and to help guide you through these steps we have created two official guides on Mod.io. You can find them in the links below:
Creating a Weapon Skin Guide
Creating a Character Skin Guide
Since this feature is still under development, we are sure there will be a few bumps along the way. We advise you to backup your save files before you proceed. You can find your save files in the following folders:
On Windows: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Game Smithing\Soulstone Survivors\
On Linux: .config/unity3d/Game Smithing/Soulstone Survivors
On Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/com.GameSmithing.SoulstoneSurvivors/
If you run into any issues, make sure to let us know! You can contact us on our official Discord (https://discord.gg/gamesmithing), or the Steam Forums!
Best Community Skin competition!
We thought this was the perfect opportunity for us to put some skin in the game... he he… so to make this whole process even more exciting, we are hosting a friendly Community Skin competition!
