Why the decision to omit the creation of custom levels?

Guilderoy · September 21, 2003, 09:20:10 PM

Yep, without custom levels the game looses much of it's attraction.

The levels are much much more detailed now, so there is not an easy way to make custom ones. They would have to be created in 3ds. This and the cost/time constraints on making the game is why custom levels were not included.

I think it is a mistake that the game only works on Nvidia hardware. I know it´s a "The way it´s ment..." game but it should atleast be playable on other dx9capable cards.
I had been looking forward to this game... now I can´t play it

Hope they patch it if possible.

I can understand that, then. In leiu of custom levels, will there at least be the option to have a sandbox mode, of sorts, so we can go crazy with the included levels without any budget or material constraints? That would at least somewhat make up for the lack of custom levels, and shouldn't add much to the development time (maybe in a patch?)

I guess Nvidia saw it as a great tech demo opportunity to show of their cards. :/

I can't find a way to activate Complex Mode. It is in there somewhere, right?

170 mb is a little much for a modem

As far as I know there's no possibility to download the program. You have to pay another six bucks for shipping.
BTW, purchasing the game is a clicking-odyssey: First, I had to become a member of the Auran club, then I needed to start IE with java, javascript and everything (Opera seems not to be supported), then I can't download the game ... annoying!

A free build mode is very possible, I will check to see if anything like that is being implimented.

kgalocy · September 26, 2003, 12:11:57 AM

Complex mode editing, earthquakes, etc. are included in the full game.

Chronic Logic · September 30, 2003, 04:33:09 PM

I belive they are streamlining the purchasing process, after some feedback on it

Oh... i thought you had a choice to download it if you wanted to and then the gamebox would arrive in a few weeks... damn.

Chronic Logic · September 24, 2003, 07:02:54 AM

Yes there is a cheat for a free build mode, but you will have to find it.
