Thread: In-Game Instance Builder

Thats sick good job!

I have since been working on this newer style builder for some time now during my free time when I have the chance (not often) but it's shaping up together nicely. I actually wanted to do it this way originally but was unable to figure out how. There's still a lot to do and a lot to figure out, but I think building in itself is in a state worth showing. I'm not sure yet if this will incorporate any kind of map editing (water, ground textures, etc), probably not though, that's kinda pushing it. I'm tired of writing map editors. I am however considering how I might extend it onto a second plane for more room and more complex structures with stairs or whatever.

As much as I really loved the feel and look of the interface-style builder, it's really not all that practical and scalability is pretty much non-existent. I spent countless hours on it though, so scrapping that is a tear-jerker.

Agreed! before-hand, I had no idea how to do anything about that, however it is now something I will do when the important stuff is complete

Thanks I have yet to see just how l33t it is in a multiplayer environment though aha.

Pretty much done with the builder itself. However of course to make it a 'real' content I'd need to populate more objects, make an interface for object and resource management and some methods for gathering resources as well as determining pricing for spawn and unlocks that reflect the rarity and use of the object. For me, that is the hardest part of content creation ahah so this may never even see a multiplayer environment anyway
