Re: Some news from ByteArray about the reboot

The thing to consider about bringing over levels is: Do we really want to take a fresh new game, that's supposed to revive the core concepts of EE, and fill it with a massive number of broken and mangled levels? I feel like that would greatly hurt the game's potential...

Automatically set them as hidden? Unless that function is being done away with
(I suppose that could be problematic in itself, but if the worlds aren't going to port without being broken then what can you do I guess)

Re: Some news from ByteArray about the reboot

Will the reboot contain the prequel levels and the sequel levels? Also I suggest the name Everybody Edits: The Complete Saga

What prequel and sequel levels are you talking about?

This game doesn't have any episodes though. Hmm, are you talking about LEGO Star Wars?

Of course I'm all for people manually carrying over levels, and potentially automating the process a little with bots! There are a lot of great levels that could probably be fairly easily ported to the reboot, with minimal changes to adapt to the different blocks and slightly different physics.

hmm agree i should check whci worlds i really want to carry over and whci worlds are ok to not be carie dover

I've checked all of my worlds and none of them are okay with being Carie Dover.

Re: Some news from ByteArray about the reboot

I would like to add that I personally would prefer the reboot wouldn't limit itself with it's content.

Indeed the staff will have to think if it's just an (actual) EE 2.0, or a new game (as mentioned).
Because if it's a new game, maybe we can start from scratch with the blocks too. Who knows, maybe we can make packs who are all different, but follow a similar style (while currently it's just a bunch of different blocks).

Obviously this would break the art of worlds, both in macro and mini scale. Also would this be troublesome with converting block/smiley ownerships from one game to the other.
This isn't, however, unfixable. What I'd personally probably would do is create a sort of coupon (let's say the concept of energy and gems stay for the sake of argument).
"Oh, you got items worth X gems?"
"Well, we don't quite yet have that much items in the store just yet..." (probably start with a limited amount of blocks/smileys and add later on).
"But how about we offer you Y gems for the new game? You can buy some of the new blocks, and still have plenty left for the upcoming couple packs!"
