There is currently a bug where holding the Jump button allows the player to climb

walls to their right (but not to their left). This is not intended behavior and

will be fixed eventually. For a work-around, draw overhangs at the tops of walls

# Level Creators
|
||||
|
||||
## Future planned features vs. levels created today
|
||||
|
||||
While in beta, this game is sort of evolving as it goes and some features added
|
||||
later may break or affect custom levels created today. As a general rule of
|
||||
thumb: the game's built-in levels are expected to _mostly_ keep working as the
|
||||
game is developed further as I don't want to create too much more work for
|
||||
myself revisiting old levels to fix them up.
|
||||
|
||||
Here are a few current quirks in the game and how they're going to be handled
|
||||
in the future:
|
||||
|
||||
### Enemy mobs being invulnerable to fire pixels
|
||||
|
||||
Currently, fire pixels only kill the player character but enemy mobs can walk
|
||||
through them unscathed.
|
||||
|
||||
Eventually, fire pixels will be able to destroy enemy mobs and the mobs will
|
||||
_try_ and avoid walking into fire but if they fall into it on accident they'll
|
||||
be destroyed.
|
||||
|
||||
Planned feature: a "Fireproof Mobs" Game Rule, so existing maps that have lava
|
||||
pits and dumb mobs (like Azulian Tag, where the Azulians chase the player to
|
||||
Hell and back) will be able to gain backwards compatibility by toggling a
|
||||
game rule on.
|
||||
|
||||
### Jump height and reach
|
||||
|
||||
The platforming physics and player controls may be tweaked still but generally
|
||||
the player's jump height and reach will be kept close to its current state.
|
||||
Use the built-in levels for inspiration.
|
||||
|
||||
### Multiplayer features
|
||||
|
||||
The game may eventually have multiplayer features where you can design a map
|
||||
meant to be played by two or more players. Doodad Script functions such as
|
||||
`Actors.FindPlayer()` will operate on the _nearest_ player character and try
|
||||
and maintain backwards compatibility for maps made today.
|
||||
|
||||
### Player is not meant to climb walls
|
||||
|
||||
See [above](#player-shouldnt-be-able-to-climb-walls). Currently there is a bug
|
||||
where the player can climb some vertical walls. Built-in levels avoid the issue
|
||||
by drawing overhangs at the tops of walls or slant the wall back towards the
|
||||
player. Do not rely on the ability to climb walls for custom levels - they will
|
||||
break on a future update.

A new beta release of _Sketchy Maze_ is now available. This release brings a
|
||||
lot of new features to the level editor, such as a Text Tool and Flood Fill
|
||||
Tool, and adds a couple new levels for a game mode called "Azulian Tag."
|
||||
|
||||
In Azulian Tag, the player who is "It" (that's you) needs to avoid being
|
||||
tagged by the enemy characters, most of which are Azulians. The Azulians
|
||||
on these maps have an infinite aggro radius and will chase after the player
|
||||
no matter how far away you are! To get the gold medal high score, you need
|
||||
to find the secret exit hidden in each level. Otherwise, you're awarded a
|
||||
silver high score based on how long you survive until one of the Azulians
|
||||
catches you!
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## New Level Editor Features
|
||||
|
||||
Some new drawing tools are added:
|
||||
|
||||
* The **Text Tool** makes it easy to stamp text messages onto your level,
|
||||
choosing from one of the built-in fonts (including the Azulian language
|
||||
font!) and using any of your level's colors.
|
||||
* The **Flood Tool** implements a paint bucket to replace contiguous
|
||||
regions of your drawing with a new color.
|
||||
* The **Pan Tool** lets you easily scroll your level viewport with your
|
||||
left mouse button or finger swipe on mobile. This is especially useful
|
||||
for devices with touch screens so you can avoid accidentally editing
|
||||
your level when you just wanted to scroll it!
|
||||
|
||||
New **Game Rules** can be customized on your level to change the game's
|
||||
default behaviors, including:
|
||||
|
||||
* A **Difficulty** setting that can adjust the way enemy mobs behave.
|
||||
On Peaceful, enemies ignore the player and do no harm. On Hard mode,
|
||||
enemies become more aggressive, such as the Azulians having an
|
||||
infinite aggro radius and run at the player at level start!
|
||||
* The **Survival Mode** rule changes the meaning of "high score" for
|
||||
the silver medal tier: you're awarded for _how long_ you survive before
|
||||
dying rather than how quickly you beat the level. On these levels, the
|
||||
gold tier for finding the Exit Flag unscathed is still awarded for
|
||||
fastest time finding the flag.
