The Escapists 2 Prison Editor Feedback
Hey everyone

As I'm sure you know, we truly value feedback from our players, and use this feedback to continuously improve our games. The Escapists 2 Prison Editor is no different, and as such I'm opening up this mega-thread to collect all of it in one place. We want to ensure we don't miss any requests, suggestions or general feedback, and this will help with that.

Thanks, as always, for wanting to help us make our games even better!

editor feedback
i love it BUT i feel this editor is very limited
my feedback for team


  1. More floors with underground
  2. Custom room designs (possbily a room maker) example stair in kitchen to upstairs (seen in centre pars prison)
  3. able to join the pre ready rooms with other rooms - example kitchen and meal hall together
  4. abity to edit out the rooms - example if you dont like the chairs in meal room - edit them out and replace with different chairs etc or add the spatter of mess in room
  5. some objects have two directions (wooden bench has west or east - needs north or south faces)
  6. More objects and more doors
  7. Guard patrols settings
  8. Wall cameras (seen in main game)
  9. wide metal detectors
  10. Smaller shower rooms
  11. Windows
  12. escape rooms - more faces eg north or south or west or east - example West facing water jet
  13. Keycard doors
  14. stairs would be can be placed outside (like one seen in wild west prison)
  15. restricted zones
  16. Themes like dessert prisons etc
Edit: i removed floor grates (they are in editor on different floor)

Edit2: added theme on list - thanks to | TajMahBalls |

Agree
If i had all ten of my fingers as thumbs, all of them would be down on the editor

The editor is GREAT, but it seems lacking to me too. There are sooo many props, objects, interactables and so on that are nowhere to be seen. No electric fence, garden, visitors room, no mail room, no variation on gyms/outdoor gyms, paint room, telephones, and soo many more things.

It was a bittersweet release for me. I had high hopes and although T17 delivered, I was hoping for a bit more.

Fingers crossed, maybe in the future we get some updates with more themes and objects/rooms.

I hope we get more. It'd be rather disappointing of this is all there is.

The Escapists 1 editor is looking superior at the moment...aside from that weird bug where half the prison is left tied up in their beds whenever I try to apply a roof.

All of that and themes, like the space station and such. Music choices. All the props from all the prisons. Instead of pre made roll call, cells, infirmary, work spaces, You can create them from scratch and use a territory tool to map out what is what.

I've noticed that there are no cooks or people serving food on the cafeteria. No other staff either, on office, churches (which are not even a thing), etc.

I had all the fun I could get from the editor in about 2 hours, and the results are rather dissapointing. I won't be coming back until we get an update and expansion, if any.

I can see the effort put in the editor. Great job Team 17 but you really can't get very creative with it. What hurts the editor the most is the preset rooms. You can keep these in the game but make it so we can actually create our own rooms with special purposes.

My only other complain is let us change the themes of prisons. It doens't have to be anything complicated just let us set our prisons in different locations such as in the desert or tundra. Heck maybe even space if ya let us.

| TajMahBalls | thanks for your suggestion - i have added themes on list
Exequiel 6 Dec, 2017 @ 4:56pm 
You should add NPCs too. There is no one on the kitchen or serving food in the cafeteria. Nor people on the office, warden, etc.

Can you and the team make it similar to the last escapists, where we can make custom rooms such as canteen, roll call, Ect..? Like zones?
Also, the tile set and music is just center perks 2.0. Only. Is there going to be a change for that?

Done :)

I have a little suggestion
The possibility to customize the look of the warden and his name
That would be nice :)

- What do you think about custom quests? It can be used for escape, like in Syberia prison, when you have to make 8 quests to get special hammer. Just you can set a prize for quest. (maybe quest of guard too? I mean just like one map from first game, with island prison, when you can give a bribe to guard to escape).

- Custom room patterns too. When you want to make a lot of the same cells, you can make only one cell, save it as pattern and use it to make more rooms in few seconds.

- Maybe more places for one job? I mean, then 3 players can be a blacksmith in the same time, for example.

- Tutorial to the editor
