Hi, who would I contact in regards to participating in the Level Editor alpha/beta testing? I’d had a blog post or article saved that said contact Carlos, but with him moving on from Ansca, I wasn’t sure who to contact.
Thanks!

Good question. Would also be interested. [import]uid: 118947 topic_id: 24948 reply_id: 101303[/import]
Wanted to follow-up… Anyone at Ansca able to respond? Very curious to know how I could possibly take part in the Level Editor beta testing. I’m working on a fun, complicated game that will rely heavily on level generation…
Thanks!

Me too.

there used to be a link to the Alpha version some time ago for testing, I was using it for levels in one of my old projects but it stopped working so I guess there’s a version coming soon. Think I have to pause that project until its released or switch to levelbuilder. [import]uid: 13560 topic_id: 24948 reply_id: 111229[/import]
So the final version has a price tag? I’m interested in this. [import]uid: 128294 topic_id: 24948 reply_id: 113401[/import]
Should be more info available about Levels soon I believe. Stay tuned. [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 24948 reply_id: 113458[/import]
So I guess the beta of Levels has been doing the rounds - why didn’t it go open ? [import]uid: 6086 topic_id: 24948 reply_id: 113471[/import]
I got so tired of switching from device-testing to my PC for level-tuning and then building again and installing on device and so on that I’ve come to build level editors for my upcoming apps right into the game. It’s a lot of fun just designing on the device itself, with instant feedback. It takes some work but I can definitely advise this method!

If you added some way to save and reuse the level information, you could probably create a public level editor for your game with your existing code. [import]uid: 151029 topic_id: 24948 reply_id: 113543[/import]
Hey Corona599,
The saving and reusing level info is in place already: my level are saved as text files with some JSON trickery, and loaded the other way around. I am thinking about making the level editor accessible to users, but I think the best way to do this would be allowing uploads and downloads of levels made by others, and rating them etc… Social-gamingwise this would be cool, but all that network-stuff is not my forte.
And on top of that, I’d need to put serious work into writing a manual for my level editor, because on an iPad this means loads of tiny buttons crammed together, and the whole parallax, tilebased thingy is not immediately obvious for most users.
But I’ll probably try! I hope to get a video online of the game and level editor in action. The cool thing is that the game logic keeps on running while you edit the game so you get instant feedback 
Cheers,

Peach or whoever, is the level editor coming? How soon? [import]uid: 153530 topic_id: 24948 reply_id: 120943[/import]
Hey Charles, I believe it is due very soon - I don’t have an official date though I will see if we have an ETA I’m able to share with you. [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 24948 reply_id: 121109[/import]

Just to clarify, level editor only sets up a level so the programmer doesn’t have program where to place sprites, tiles, vector images, etc? Plus is the pricing going to be affordable, like 25 or 30 USD or as much as corona project manager? [import]uid: 128294 topic_id: 24948 reply_id: 121110[/import]
Hi Everyone. We haven’t yet defined the final release date. We are getting closer, but we are probably still a few (~4) weeks away (but this is subject to change). If you have any specific questions, please email me at davidATcoronalabs
