Poll: Is 2.2 going to make levels bad

[frail bay]

I'm thinking like what happened in 2.0 where creators were given something to abuse (move trigger/camera controls) and it just lowered the standard so that any full level got featured. Do you think this is going to happen or do you think people have enough experience to not abuse things?

[flint sonnet]

yeah no youre right

it's going to be just like 2.0

then after like

ten months when people get used to all the new shit it'll die down

and people will start making actually good levels

[clear birch]

People will abuse the new features
That's a given
But once everyone realizes that they're making trash and learn how to use the features properly some really cool levels will be made

Here's an example of what was made in the gdps

When people know how to use the editor

As for the standards
Maybe they'll be raised in 2.2 because with all the new shaders you can make a layout and plop some shaders on it (and hope is still sightreadable) and boom
Rateworthy level

i personally would just keep on making 2.1 style levels

[frosty wigeon]

added reactions to the original post so yall can go ham there

[frosty wigeon]

you can stretch the camera in 2.2? that could be interesting

[clear birch]

That's done with the help of the split screen shader

If you input negative values it reverses the cam

-2 to make it look reversed

[frosty wigeon]

ohhh i see that's good to know

that's very good to know

[clear birch]

Negative spit screen is better in some use cases than positive

[frosty wigeon]

yep i can imagine

can the split screen be individually controlled on the X and Y axes? @clear birch

[clear birch]

Ye

Lemme make some visuals rq

[frosty wigeon]

very nice

i am keeping that in mind

and you can also set where the screen warps from too, right?

[clear birch]

If you make the camera static on a point

You can't control where the stretching comes from tho

[frosty wigeon]

ah

[clear birch]

Yeah that's the only downside with this effect

[clear birch]

Also wanna know a trivia fact about the teleport trigger for fun

[frosty wigeon]

yea sure

[clear birch]

There's a setting called force which pushes the player right
So with a certain setup depending on how you rotate the tp trigger itself will determine where the player gets pushed by the force

So now rotation influences trigger behavior

✨2.2✨

[frosty wigeon]

oh damn

can teleport triggers be rotated by rotate triggers? @clear birch

[clear birch]

Idk
Lemme check

[knotty dawn]

What level is that
It looks like prexium

[clear birch]

It is ye
The next update to be exact

[knotty dawn]

Ok

[fair comet]

Hey ninjarium777, you just got to level 3!

[knotty dawn]

Didn't know it had an update

[clear birch]

Ye you can
And if you spawn it with a toggle orb at random intervals it'll teleport you in a different direction each time

[frosty wigeon]

damn

[clear birch]

Ultranox has been working on it since January

[knotty dawn]

Cool

[clear birch]

I just realized I'm your main source for 2.2 trigger knowledge lmao

From my pov

[frosty wigeon]

ive played a fair bit of the gdps myself but never really got too into it lol

not enough time

so yea
