Yo what's up it's me again. I was doing my check in on the game ofc as usual and saw this thread and felt like replying... Because honestly, I've been thinking about this question for quite some time.

I think personally, what I would really want out of an "EE Style Game" is probably a lot farther away from EE what most people here are considering. To me, the actual "fun bits" of EE basically consisted of these core parts:
1. The ability for players to easily and seamlessly create content, play other's content, and find and interact with many other players.
2. The sandbox environment which allowed many ways to play the game
3. The ability to extend the game to make new ways to play (such as the bot protocol in ee's case)

I think you could change just about anything else about the game: the platforming mechanics, the graphics, the available blocks. You could probably get away with even just a chat room with a synced ms paint on the side, and it'd have about the same effect. As long as you kept those three core features I think it would achieve what EE was able to. That being said, there are unfortunately very few games I can think of that meet all three of those criteria. Take Minecraft for example. It has the sandbox environment, and it has the ability to extend the game through mods. However, while it does have the capability of making worlds and interacting with other players on them, it unfortunately isn't anywhere near as easy, accessible, or seamless as EverybodyEdits ever was.

Obviously though, that's not exactly a good comparison, so I'll add a couple more requirements to my "EE-style" game:
4. The game should be a side-scrolling platformer, and ideally would be in a pixel art style.
5. The game should offer some kind of new capabilities not possible in old EE

I think to have an EE-Style of game work, you can't just have a re-released EE with new graphics and extra blocks. We need a new game with new ideas that shares the same fundamental values of EE.
So I guess that's what I would really want in not just an "EE-Styled Game", but an "EE spiritual successor."

Hi I'm doing my once a year check-in, except this time i believe i've skipped a year or two.

So, I'm hearing EE is finally actually dead, and not of the forum meme variety? What's everyone doing nowadays?

Block Properties/Moving Parts suggestion thread: *exists*

Everyone: I suggest we make entities/moving blocks.

This would get really annoying really quickly.

If players had collision, players could make a wall to prevent other players from passing.

Or if other players were push-able, you could push other players off, creating a whole new level of trolling...

You mean, people still actually care about this dead game besides the developers, and the extremely small amount of people who play it?

I don't think there's much to worry about. It might at most make someone waste half an hour of their life.

That feeling when more people care about saving x minigames, boss to code, and stair EE levels than actual endangered animals.

Yo! I'm here again!

Minecraft modpacks exist, and modern day small mod packs average at about 150 mods. Most modpacks are around 200. If I'm playing Minecraft, I'm playing either pure vanilla, or a 200+ mod modpack.

Now on the other hand, if we were talking about Skyrim mods...I have a little over 1000...

Yo, wannabe game designer here.

In my opinion, it is true that no game absolutely NEEDS an easy mode. However, there are benefits of having one. If your game is designed to be hard, and expert gamers is what you have in mind, you may find it more difficult to expand your fanbase to more casual players. Casual players of course, don't necessarily always stay casual, as they may improve at the game. Some people(ex: people with lives), may quite simply not have enough time to perfectly master each game mechanic, but still want to be able to enjoy the game's content. The solution is to include an "easy mode" for those people.

If your game is aimed more toward casual players however, then it may make less sense to include an easier mode, but instead include a harder mode for the expert players, or casual players who want to test their skill.

TDLR; It depends on the game.

Love you, hun! Come back soon!

A'right peeps, every now and then I have a little informant link me to an interesting topic on the forums, and so big daddy two-seven-two has come to discuss...uhh...whatever the hell this topic is.

"Purpose of life" this time, eh? Lemme just add a new "category" onto your extraordinarily limited number of ideas - Nothing. It depends on your question though, I suppose. For example, if your question is, "How does life exist," then the answer is through chemistry, evolution, and a little bit of luck. If you're asking, "why does life exist," then you will never actually find a true, factual answer. Therefor, the best answer I can give you, is that the answer is null.

To understand where I'm coming from, remind yourself of the fact that we are one planet of eight in our star system of at least 200 billion stars in our galaxy, of at least a hundred billion galaxies in just our observable universe.

To ask why life exists is to ask why anything exists at all. The fact of the matter is, anything that has a point of beginning, also must somewhere have a point of ending. If there was a reason for existing, it would also have to have a reason for ending. However, because it all eventually ends anyway, even if there was a true answer, there'd be no point in finding it, for eventually, we would die, and then the answer would be lost anyway.

Therefor, my answer to "What is the purpose of life?", is "What is the purpose of the question?".

I suppose if what you meant is actually just, "What is the meaning of life?", then the answer is 42.

Time to poof until another topic gets sent to me.

Is it a meme to go find old posts made by guests and gravedig on them now?
