Hello, i'm an avid gamer that's been playing the game almost non-stop since it got out on steam and a thought came to my mind while i were playing;
"What if players could add their own maps and then have a group of people that check if they're genuine and not just some map full of coins or heat without any real enemies.".
I told my friend and fellow player Tentacles about it and here's the steam log where we brainstomed on the topic.
10:36 - [S]: Ocfos: I hope they'll let players submit maps at some point.
10:36 - [S]: Ocfos: I'd love to make some.
10:36 - Ten_Tacles: Yes.
10:36 - Ten_Tacles: That would rock.
10:36 - Ten_Tacles: Maybe for the dangerrooms?
10:36 - [S]: Ocfos: I'd love to make a few levels on my own.
10:36 - Ten_Tacles: But most clockwork levels are randomly generated.
10:37 - [S]: Ocfos: True but still.
10:37 - Ten_Tacles: Yeah.
10:37 - Ten_Tacles: Maybe then we can make use of Golden Gun Puppies and Golden Trojans.
10:37 - Ten_Tacles: Or slooms.
10:37 - Ten_Tacles: Hehe.
10:37 - [S]: Ocfos: And to ensure nobody makes a "Floor full of gold coins" map they'd need testers.
10:37 - Ten_Tacles: I would say, people can make them.
10:37 - Ten_Tacles: And upload them.
10:38 - Ten_Tacles: People judge them, and the devs check out the ones that are on the top of the list.
10:38 - Ten_Tacles: If they are dumb/too hard/not hard enough they will not be taken.
10:38 - Ten_Tacles: Even if 20000 people want them.
10:38 - [S]: Ocfos: Hmm.
10:38 - [S]: Ocfos: That wouldn't be a bad idea.
10:38 - [S]: Ocfos: And then people could "Test" them.
10:38 - [S]: Ocfos: Without getting loot.
10:38 - Ten_Tacles: Yes.
10:39 - [S]: Ocfos: Or get a set loot.
10:39 - Ten_Tacles: Yeah.
10:39 - Ten_Tacles: I would say without loot.
10:39 - Ten_Tacles: But without energy cost either.
So what would you say about getting this feature to the game? As said in the log i'd personally love it and even contribute with maps myself if it ever gets added.
Whilst I like the idea in theory, I have a feeling that moderating levels would prove a bottomless nightmare for the devs.
