Here's the latest view from LVL Edit 0.7 alpha 7

LVL Edit 0.7 alpha 6b is finally fixing this squished cube effect. It was a wrong aspect ratio bug. Sorry for that.

Here's the latest video showing LVL Edit 0.7 road to: alpha 6

Thank You! 

Finally. Hint system at the bottom is one of many small improvements in LVL Edit that should help understanding it.

My latest creations using LVL Edit 0.7.x builds...

Finally! I did some major changes in a new blank-template_v1.mfa (it's a .mfa file with a LVL Edit's level loading engine).
From now enyone will be able to make a standalone game way easier without separate files from LVL Edit. I'll provide some simple examples soon. Also did some important one event fix for LvlAssetsLibDir (a big problem in fpp_example.mfa). No need to worry about backslash at the end to preview level correctly.

LvlFileDir - Your level file full path,
LvlAssetsLibDir - Assets folder full path,

LvlFromAltString - this checkbox gives the ability to load level directly. You must then specify level file directory and assets library directory to be loaded at the start of frame,
LvlFromImport - this option just reads level and assets library paths from LVL Edit's import.ini file,
FullscreenFromConfig - reads fullscreen mode from LVL Edit's import.ini file,
FullscreenFromMfa - mfa has a priority to decide going fullscreen.

If You found any difficulties using it - feel free to ask here! I'm improving it.

I'll take a look on this and try to make a new video series but with some talk this time.

Sure, here's a playlist. The main idea behind the tool stays the same:

Latest LVL Edit creations ;)

There's definitely a place to add transform handles. I need to find the right method to do it in Firefly.
Here's a latest look into LVL Edit (:

I'll take a look on that because at the moment I'm refreshing some UI elements. Fixing some old ideas.

Hi there,
LVL Edit was stopped for some time. After that I came back... here's some of the results:

Some big UI changes. More 3D Viewport, exploring textures is now a much better experience, panels changes, snapping position to grid. A lot of new things. Trying to make all user experience much simpler but still fun.

Keep fingers crossed for next release...

Going back to the project (new Cave Engine 0.98!). Some particles and mist ;)

Nice and simple mechanics, I like it.

Thank You, currently project onhold (I'm waiting for visual scripting)

Hello everyone,
I decided to share with You some of my progress for a new game project using Uniday Cave Engine.
I'm also working with Sprytile add-on for Blender  to design levels.

Here's how it looks in engine (ofcourse You can turn off green wireframe - it's just for collision's preview):

I'm trying to make some old-school, 90s style game. Visually something similar to Doom, Duke3D,  Blood, Ion Fury etc. Low poly 3D and ybillboard objects. Keep fingers crossed for this project ;)
You can download first build from Uniday International discord channel ;) at the moment it's more about exploring levels (there is no enemies, obstacles etc. yet).

Here's how LVL Edit 0.7.x  will look like.  UI changes, bug fixing :)

This is  a place You can post levels designed in LVL Edit. Now You can see what You can really do with it.

Here's my example ;)

Here's  a survey. If You're interested in further LVL Edit development, please take Your time to complete it (about 5 minutes).
