Official Everybody Edits Forums

Hey, a changelog!

For me, the game's performance tanks when the minimap opens, to around 2-3 FPS in some worlds. Otherwise, the game runs smoothly. I'm using Firefox.

You might be wondering what happened to this. I stopped updating this for a few reasons:

Everybody Edits Offline was released under MPL-2.0, and this version uses proprietary code from the online version. If I continued to update it, I would prefer to use the licensed source-code as a basis, so I would need to rewrite the physics code.

The drawing code is also super inefficient. It would need to be heavily reworked to work well, either using hidden canvases or WebGL.

At this point, there have been at least three other versions of Everybody Edits in HTML5:

• Project PixelWalker (working title) has multiplayer and even more stuff like portals and doors and gates. Currently has players, but you need to register to play.

• ByteArray's HaxEE has online play and some basic blocks.

• Velipso's fork of EE Offline. This one is licensed under MPL-2.0, and is incomplete. I can't get it to run anymore though.

I'm planning to do something else close to EE's code, but much different. It's planned not to use ActionScript or JavaScript, so it will likely share no code from this version.

Legend says that if you use all six dragons, you summon Xenonetix:

Wait really? I guess that was somebody else who messaged me about an EE remake in C++!

This is pretty easy to miss, but early in development Satanya expressed plans to let worlds in EE Flash and EEU be transferred.

In addition, these worlds would likely be possible.

Another statement clarifying the physics:

When transferring worlds I'm most concerned about graphics changes, as the red Basic block now uses warm hues of red instead of cool hues. Small changes like that may add up to make old worlds look a bit off.

Though, I'm also expecting people to make texture packs that change graphics to look more like EE Flash.

Assuming Kira and Kiraninja are the same person, they're a known troll with several hoax threads. People would probably be taking the post slightly more seriously if anybody else made it.

But since you're interested, I decided to go through the four points I saw from OP:

1. the game dies out in relevancy with nothing new

2. the game does not look promising

3. cutting off communication killed expectations

4. the community has moved on

1 is well-established criticism. mutantdevle has mentioned that even the smallest of updates stirs up stuff, so I'm guessing they're avoiding that. I don't find relevancy important until release, as EE has well gone into irrelevancy. We're self-sustaining at this point, and can boost the activity among ourselves with chat, and creative projects, when we want that occasional boost.

2 is subjective, and maybe the most open for discussion. I've seen little constructive criticism over the new EE itself, but I guess you could critique the graphics and music shown off. It would be interesting to see, if we can manage to avoid breathing in the toxic air.

3 is likely true for some. For me, it's disappointing, but doesn't really affect what I expect from the final product. There isn't much to do here but survey what people think.

4 is subjective. No doubt some people have lost interest over this. But this has always happened with EE, and will happen in every fandom when fans aren't pleased with what's happening, or just lose interest. The old players still here when EE is revived will be passionate ones who can handle EE going through anything.

Nothing substantial, but I'm guessing it comes down to "we don't see development, therefore it stopped entirely".

When development continues in silence, people get the impression nothing is happening. I suppose it's reached the breaking point for an increasing number of people.

It's been brought to my attention that The Stone Temple, with the ID PWwwAAAA (ID mentioned by Xenonetix) is not included in ArchivEE. It may be because the world has no owner, as seen in the video below.

Do you have saved worlds with no owner?

Welcome back. I appreciate the graphics you messaged me, and I was quite surprised you returned after three years and one day after my message.

Do you have the update log for EEU?

Do you plan to share extra resources from EEU? Like past versions, unused SVG files, source code, and such. I do have a copy of the current version and the physics source code, but I would love to see the game more broadly archived at some point.

The same would go for EE Flash, but that game's been archived much better at this point, and I don't know if you would have anything else to add.

I believe this is because Facebook updated their API, and EEU didn't fix it.

EEU is on v0.2.55b, and hasn't had content updates in years. Like a year ago, there was a minor update to remove the holiday theming and update the message in the lobby, but I don't know of any other changes.

I'm guessing you mean worlds with names and no owners, like this one.

Sadly, I can't find any on ArchivEE.

I decided to message Xenonetix and he replied. WE HAVE THE IMAGES.

Not only that, but I got several bonus images!
