The level editor has been serving us faithfully for a long time. Like our game engine this is also a custom built project. The level editor has hardly seen any changes in the past months. You could say it works just fine!
Sometimes we are asked if we will also release our level editor. User generated content would of course be a beautiful addition to Caromble! and sharing this tool is one of those things we would really love to do. However, currently our level editor is not user friendly and undocumented. So without any investment on our part it is not ready to share. So far, the plan is to reconsider this feature until after the final release.
So why stir up this conversation? I just wanted to share my enthusiasm about this tool and give it some credit!
This is me navigating between different cameras in the editor:
Some details that hint that the level editor is not polished: the black circle is the camera object popping inside its own view frustrum, which is equivalent to blocking the camera lens with your own finger. The red-blue object is a placeholder graphic for the paddle. Why don't we use the actual object? I'm actually not sure why that's still the case :)
Happy gaming!
