Heck ya, would love this as well. I'm pretty sure it's been mentioned before, and the devs said it's something they would definitely like to do at some point down the road
100% for a level builder.
It was once a thing but it got complicated quick.
Also Cosima has said a few times that the devs use it to build the levels
(I just love the fact that your handle is BobConstructeur and you're the one suggesting it haha)
Indeed, we would like to do it but it's easier said than done! Technically and as mentioned, the level builder already exists: our level designers use it to create all the maps! But it's not very user friendly. It'd need a tutorial, a better UI and UX. Even if we solve this, we'll have to think about how to store levels and make them available and playable for every platforms (and we're working on releasing the game on PS and Switch, so that's a LOT of platforms).
So, these are the obstacles we face, and as a small studio we're trying to prioritize as best as we can!
This suggestion has been in the Trello Board for a while but I'm glad it made its way back in a topic here so people can discuss!
I agree with the not so user friendly part of the thing when I played around with a really early version it was like learning a new language to understand how to use it XD
I totally understand all the challenges this would bring, particularly to a small team, it's no mean feat. Would be very lovely to have tho if the time becomes available. 🙂
Are there any screens or videos of the early tool? I’m working on a game map editor UX case study and would love to include a tool that isn’t currently ready for users/ made for internal use. Plus this was my game of the year and any excuse to play more is great 😅 (I’m happy to sign an NDA and get anything I’d want to include reviewed by the devs before publishing)
I could get some screens from the alpha build if I have permission from Cosima
I appreciate it! And no worries if they don’t want to/can’t let me work with it
@golden veldt is it okay for me to share some screenshots from the alpha level builder?
Sure!
Thanks @golden veldt @pastel otter !
