[EDITOR] [SUGGESTION] [ADDED] Change default level size?
« on: February 04, 2016, 05:06:35 PM »
Status: Will do this; seems people are in favor of 320x160 as the default so have gone with that. Similarly, used 640x320 as the new default for SuperLemmini.

So - I'm wondering if the default level size in the editor should be changed. Currently, it's 1584x160, but this is simply a holdover from vanilla Lemmix, where levels were *always* 1584x160. Since NeoLemmix levels are resizable,and most levels tend to not get that large, should the default be changed to something else - and if so, what?

If I had to guess, I'd say the average level size was somewhere between 480x160 and 640x160. Another option is to simply set it to the minimum that actually works - 320x160.

I fully support this suggestion. Don't forget to change the screen start as well.

I also fully support this idea, and I agree that the minimum should be 320x160 with the screen start at (0, 0).

Have level designer's block right now? Have some of my incomplete levels for LOTS of ideas!

I put a poll up just in case (feel free to comment if you don't like any of those options). I'm also leaning towards 320x160, but I'd like to hear what other people have to say.
