maybe you should bring this a step further, have a board for blockland development and another for development of other things/announcements (this is the BLOCKLAND forums after all, not step1/badspot forums)
I would love online support on this
Free is good.
Or Bario.
If the game had a level editor, custom content support (music,gfx)...woah the possibilities are just huge.
You can edit the existing levels using Tiled (which is awesome, by the way).http://mapeditor.org
Regarding the Perennial engine, is there ever going to be an official level editor, or are we stuck with editing the levels with a text editor?
