if you press button you'll obtain 100.000$, but EE/rEEboot domain, and all EE code'll be erased
would you press that button or not?

and why switches have to have ID number near them, and normal portals not!?

As you move from PIO, what system will you use, how will the API look like, and will it support Swift, JS, ..?
We'll be making our own API most likely on top of WebSockets, at the start we'll probably only make a JS and a .net core API, but I guess either you could port it yourself, or we might make them for other languages in the future
Will you add "lifes", "guns", "monsters", etc. in EE Universe? Basically RPG possibility?
Pretty sure the answer to this is no, personally I would want to make sure that EEU stays close to its roots, rather than trying to be some completely different game
Will the amount of maximal switch ids be increased to example 4 digits?
Idk, its definitely possible... there are 3 reasons that they are 3 digits currently: Firstly its hard to put lots of numbers in a 16x16 graphic (and we're going to 24x24 for the rEEboot so this will no longer be a problem), secondly in the current system the text is pregenerated, so internally there are 1000 copies of the switch block graphic, and increasing this to 10000 etc would probably result in a lot more RAM being used , hopefully we can make a better system for things like this in EEU, thirdly is the data limit, and this is no longer going to be a thing in the rEEboot
With more layers, will you add condition blocks? ((If switches 9, 10, 11 are enabled and team is yellow or red) or deaths < 5)
Not sure about the rest of the staff, but I'm not a fan of 'combine these x blocks into one' suggestions... Personally I think it would be much better to have a simpler set of blocks which you use multiple of for more complicated features

just add a door where we can set what the requirements are exmaple get x coins x detahs switch 1 2 and 5 as for digit problem just use 1 simple ghrapic and use som sort of text from text block that is printed on top

will you add a reminder that you won't forget your daily login streak in the rEEboot when you've less than 6 hours left of your day left?

ZeldaXD · 2018-09-09 21:35:20

Have you thought about adding more action blocks to EE in the reboot so it has more platforming features (i.e. moving platforms) since we will have another layer?

Also, will you add vision blockers to EEU ASAP so worlds which depend on visual effects (i.e. separate two boxes so you cant see the other) can be transfered to EEU ASAP?

why can't you just have 10 textures, 0-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9, and then overlay them on top of every switch block? not sure how flash works but couldn't you do that?

Well you could, but I guess originally it was thought that that could be quite slow if there were a lot of them on your screen (~3x slower if you filled your screen with two digit coin doors), so they decided to go the pregenerated way. We will probably do something better for EEU though

This was pretty much what Anatoly was suggesting wasn't it? It just sounds needlessly complicated to me, and makes them confusing to use... I'd much rather just use the blocks seperately...

and a .net core API

While I understand that a number of bots are written using .net, don't you think (the team as a whole) that this would unnecessarily eat development time away from other features? Especially with the game being made in web-based languages, which makes the .net API not needed for the core game.

I'll copy my question from another AMA:

Is there any plan for customizable blocks instead of being restricted to a smaller subset of the existing ones?

next content update when?
when are we going to see more nice stuff on the rEEboot?
how's the weather at your location?

Depends what you classify as "content". We're hoping to have the Lobby Overhaul released before the end of September! There may be some smaller updates before then.
ByteArray will have the multiplayer tech demo up and running soon. Alpha Testers get to see more stuff earliest, Patrons get to see more stuff next, and then we show them on the forums.
Varying hugely at the moment - One day it's a heatwave, the next day has a 10 minute downpour, but it's still hot. Today, it wasn't too bad, but completely overcast with light grey clouds.

As far as I knew, this was fixed with the Team Door fix. Apologies if that's not the case, but I'm sure LukeM and/or Gosha could take a look into it.

What's your favourite music right now also are you more of an album person or a playlist person

I've been listening most to MDK's entire playlist recently, combined with sometimes listening to TheFatRat. Geometry Dash introduced me to them both, and I'm very glad it did.

I would say it's relatively equal between album and playlist. I certainly own a lot of albums, a lot of which I still listen to.

HG wrote:

What are your thoughts on volunteering for the game's development?

I greatly appreciate the volunteer staff we have now, so I would say positive thoughts. If you mean people volunteering to be staff, we usually approach the people we're interested in, and follow-up with an interview process before bringing them on as staff officially.

Xaddii wrote:

Who do you admire most in life?

That's a tough question. I'm a big fan of comedy, so there are definitely some comedians who have been a huge influence in my life, including Bill Bailey, Tim Minchin, Dave Gorman, Danny Wallace, and Richard Herring. Futurama is probably still my favourite TV series of all time, so I have to admire Matt Groening for all the work he's done over the years (and I did recently watch all of Disenchantment). Before he passed away, it may seem cliché, but I did admire Stephen Hawking a lot, just because he was not only incredibly smart and knowledgeable, but also had an amazing sense of humour. From a book point of view, Douglas Adams will most likely always be the author I admire most, which, as many of you know, is now reflected in Everybody Edits itself.

I recently realised how much Ben Walker has done to influence me without even knowing it, but I find it very unlikely any of you will know who he is.

Yonanoke wrote:

those suggestions will be added in reboot? if no, why? if yes, how?

Those are quite heavy questions, but we have discussed almost every suggestion listed in that thread. Some have already been implemented, many will be addressed in the Lobby Overhaul (and I know that Gosha has been experimenting with custom keybinding), and some just aren't reasonable within the current version of Everybody Edits. For Everybody Edits Universe, most of these suggestions simply won't transition, because the overall user experience will be improved.

30. I've wanted to have an NPC selector within the UI for a long time. That was actually planned to happen when we reduced it down to just showing the one NPC in the selection anyway, but technical difficulties came up, and then Gosha went on vacation, so it was put on hold.

I think LukeM answered this one fine.
Guns and monsters, certainly not at launch. As for Lives, it's something I've been considering myself a lot recently, but still relatively unlikely to come up at launch.
We plan to increase to 9999 in Everybody Edits Universe. That won't be happening in Everybody Edits.
Probably not. A lot of people have a lot of fun trying to work out ways to achieve those sorts of effects without such shortcuts. That being said, (and this isn't something I've spoken to staff about, so it is purely an idea at this stage), I do like the idea of a Keypad block, where you would have to enter a 4-digit code to activate certain actions (such as opening a door). It may be something we look into having in Everybody Edits Universe.
In their simplest forms, no, but I do think that alternative "vision" options could be viable in Everybody Edits Universe.
Possibly. We don't know at this stage.
Ask the Campaign Team.
No?
Not necessarily a block, but something. I have some ideas.
Probably not.
I find it unlikely - They're not the clearest fonts in-game right now, but I'm guessing it'll still be something that feels like it fits EE.

Players need to be able to see Switch IDs, and don't need to be able to see Portal IDs.

The actual game will be using HTML5, but the serverside stuff will still probably use .net, and although there will be some differences between the client side and the server side, it shouldn't be much extra work to add / change what's necessary to make a .net client API. (If it turns out that it would be, we'll probably leave it until later)
