Official Everybody Edits Forums

I'm gonna preface this post by saying it's just my current understanding and that our plans may change. I'll also be including my opinion and I'll do my best to signify that, but basically what I'm about to say may not be a true reflection of what actually ends up happening.

As far as I know, there are no plans to create an archive of EEU worlds. My understanding is that there will be a period of time in which you'll be able to import EEU worlds into EE!, but after that anything from EEU not saved will be lost.

EEU worlds would definitely be broken in EE! and require adjustments - especially if the world requires precise jumps based on the EEU physics. We have confirmed that edit and vision zones will be returning, but the physics will be much closer to EE's physics than EEU's. Naturally, the different textures of blocks used between versions will also cause some issues, but I don't see that being too problematic for EEU since it only had very basic blocks.

I believe strongly that whatever is made to transfer worlds into EE! will be made with little or no faults as the team that would be working on it are paid professionals. So I'm confident that metadata will be fine, subject to the fact that not all EE action blocks will be in EE! at launch. I'm also not certain whether the tool will receive updates as and when those blocks do get added.

In honesty, I think there will be a far greater focus on EE and EEO worlds, especially as their physics will be compatible with EE!. There just isn't the same amount of passion for EEU. Time isn't really much of a factor but the financial aspect is. Even as someone who has no real stake in what money is spent I'd probably not consider it worth it to preserve EEU. Sure there were some nice worlds made, but they were all very basic and can easily be remade in EE!. I think a simple copy-paste of the layout of the blocks and then an adjustment of the art would fix most worlds. And considering how hated the EEU physics were, I don't think the physics and the graphics of the game are anything worth preserving in their own right.

If you want a physical preservation of EEU in the form of EEUO I'd recommend it be community-made. Alternatively, if you rallied together those who are passionate about EEU to show us how loved that version of the game actually is, I'm sure we'd consider creating an EEUO if it is something the community really wants. But right now I personally do not see that passion for it and I never really have - and I don't think anyone else on the EE! staff team sees a passion for EEU either.

Lictor's Gloomy Castle. The only world I've ever had a sense of determination to get better at and beat (which I eventually did). It inspired me to build a little more before the end of EE and I aspire to build fun and unique high-quality worlds like that in EE!.

The fireball was a direct hit, but the slime's bouncy gooey body is a little resistant to fire. You did 16 damage.

You didn't stop anything. All you did was needlessly hurt mini by dealing 7 damage to him.

You are successful, you melt away the slime's 4 remaining HP. All that's left now is a little puddle.

Unsuccessful, you remain hurt.

You swing your knife into the pitch black of night and hit nothing.

Your flare shoots off into the darkness. You don't hit anything, but shortly after you hear a low growling. It seems you've caught something's attention.

It has 60 hp.

I don't create these monsters, I'm just the messenger.

Correct.

We're also making a new game! You can read more about it in the 'Game Business' section of the forums as well as the official discord server: https://discord.gg/2kZYX6bFZq

I think it's time to revive the EE political parties. You can be leader of the conservatives you progress hater.

We might campaign this.

I don't think there's any pressing need to remove the scary warning. Those of us with experience on the forums just ignore it and new users probably are better off being discouraged from gravedigging.

If someone were to play EE now, even if it were entirely the same as it was with a high player count and everything, you're not going to get the same experience as you did from the days that you miss. I don't think I've ever returned to a game that I played years ago and had the same experience. Because the games might not have changed, but I have. Nostalgia is a powerful thing but it builds expectations that can never be lived up to.

How old are we talking? I think I have some stuff from 3-5 years ago but nothing from the earlier days.

Edit: Finally got to my PC that has my EE stuff on. Nothing there is very interesting tbh. It's mostly just stuff from 2017/18 about my own worlds. If you REALLY want it then just ask but I feel that everyone else has shared much better stuff.

Progress is good. This most detailed progress update is given in the interview with Fixel.

We are due another forum post from Satanya, but as I say:

It's not necessarily an update post but it is an informative one. Though, due to its delay, it may end up including more than was originally planned.

They're working find for me?
