3 upload limit? NO.

Archive: 19 posts


Yo guys. Just in case you are not searching the net for answers as well, heres a little update from the devs.




"This looks like a thread with some questions to answer. A quick FAQ :

I heard you can only upload three levels...

This isn't true. There is a limit to the number of levels you can have online at a time, but it's more than three. I won't give the actual number as it may change again before the game launches.

Can I replace a level I've previously uploaded?

Absolutely.

There was mention that you can get your limit increased, how does this work?

This is true. Creators who put out a lot of high quality levels may have their limit increased. The exact process whereby this happens is still being worked on, however it is likely to be awarded in an on the fly basis rather than in an automated fashion.

Why is there a limit in the first place?

For many of the positive reasons stated in this thread so far, and also so that we can keep the growth of the shared database to a manageable size - if we were to see 50k new levels published in a single day, many of them "tests" or works in progress we'd miss a lot of quality content. With no limits there would also be no reason for anyone to ever delete a level they'd uploaded, so pretty soon the collection of shared levels would become very large and unwieldly with a large quantity of incomplete or test levels.

As with all the features of the online game we'll be paying close attention to how it's used once it's out there refining and improving features and functionality in response to how they're being used."

This is good news and thanks for sharing it! I like the limitation in first; otherwise there will be too much *spam* I think. Users have to be aware of the fact they can't just upload crap without any concequences

Cheers

As I've said before, I can see reasons for limiting it small, but, I'm also happy to get more spaces as well. At least this way I'll get to upload a fair few of my ideas.2008-09-19 11:58:00

hmm, couldn't the test levels just be tested with playing them on your moon with your friends and not publishing it?

also, how is it that the playing other community levels works, like is it random or do they let you view a page of them choose or something, cuz i was thinking that they'd make certain requirements for a level to stay online, eg. have 3 plays every week, or something like that, and if you didn't meet them, then they'd take your level offline.

Yes that's possible! Before publishing you can share/test your selfmade levels with the persons who are in your friendslist.

Excellent. Removes a lot of complaints. And it still limits people from posting random junk (mostly). Sounds good with me.2008-09-19 22:24:00
