I have improved the way the game fills the level with objects. Each level tile represent 2x2 tiles in-game. Each of the 4 tiles has a 50% chance of object placement with multiple objects allowed. Except for statues and readables, because there are more unique objects.
For the level editor, we can still choose between the current simplified level editor or a full level editor.
I currently use a simplified level editor where each tile is actually 2x2 tiles in-game. This allows for smaller shareable text levels. It can also fit larger levels on a single screen with clear tiles without scrolling. So it's quick and easy to design a level and keep an overview of the entire level on-screen.
Alternatively, I could also revert to a full level editor where each tile is exactly 1 tile in-game. This means that either I have to make the level tiles twice as small, or allow for scrolling in the level editor. So either the level tiles are less clear, or we no longer have an overview of the entire level on a single screen because of scrolling. Also the text levels will be twice as large, which means they are less convenient to share.
Hopefully I made the right choice for a simplified level editor. I know it's an unusual choice. If it doesn't work well, I can always revert to a normal 1:1 level editor. Please let me know what you think.
