Mage Game - Level Designer (2nd April 2010)

New video released showing off the new features in the level designer:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWJchFH8u4I

This new video shows off how easy it is to create ground in the level designer with only four basic pieces. Another big improvement is being able to select multiple tiles and items at once. You can also copy, paste, and delete a large group of selected items/tiles. There's also an undo and redo feature not shown in the video. There is now a background layer of where you can carve any mountain or graphic you want without having the character collide with it. You can toggle which graphical layers are visible, view tiles when they do not conform, and toggle if the grid is shown. A new feature is turning a group of tiles into a planet or rotating block, which are planned to have fully customizable movements, settings, and gravity control.

This video shows the Level Designer of the Mage Game.
Runouw, if you come online laetr, you can eplace this with whatever you want ;)

Personally, I think this looks way more thought out than SM63's LD. The Copy 'n' Paste function really was needed, but OH MY GOD PLANETS I LOVE YOU RUNOUW

Yeah. I think the planets option would be really cool. But I think it would be even cooler to add a gravitational pull towards the planets. The bigger the planet, the stronger the pool. I don't know, that would just seem to give it a better feeling of a planet.

But aside from that, it looks really cool, Runouw. Do you have any plans for Undo/Redo options?

This is just..... epic. I won't be surprised if there is a future gaming company called Runouw.

I think my head's going to explode from awesomeness.

Anyone see how you can just randomly sway your mouse about, and you get a awesome looking structure? Well it looks awesome.

The undo and redo feature already exists, but just didn't make it into the video.
+ the gravitational pull is already programmed and is planned to be used on planets.... And other levels will have switches that change the direction of gravity....
