I noticed this on the twitter earlier... "@Ignlimbo at launch you wont be able to make warp zones, but you can make 3 level chapters. you wont be able to make characters or edit them" I'm curious if we are limited to 3 level chapters. I have a full 20 level, Naija specific, chapter nearly completed and would be devastated by such limitations  If we are indeed limited, what would I (or other contributors) have to do to circumnavigate it? I know a few users in here have made chapters larger than 3 levels that haven't been officially hosted aside from Novas fun run 'Cramps'. Not to mention, Nova's other works (one of which I've been told by the man himself that you thoroughly enjoy enough to consider another xbox upload). Would we need some sort of special approval or am I reading into the 3 levels thing incorrectly? Graciously awaiting your reply. |

Well, I'm pretty sure you can either make a mini chapter with three levels or a full chapter with 20 levels, maybe even everything between 3 and 20 levels, but who knows.
Plus, I have a feeling that single levels cannot be uploaded until they are combined into a minimum set of three levels.

I have my fingers crossed that he meant 3 chapters total. I have no intention of breaking up my chapter into 7 parts to meet some criteria in place to keep people from making rubbish content in mass. Sure the level editor is going to be 40% genitalia maps, 40% content on par with 1-1 and 20% actual content; but that doesn't mean the 20% should be limited. I can understand locking bandages since they haven't figured out what they are doing with them, and locking out warps and dark worlds. But why lock content creation for those willing to put in the effort?

Yeah. I hope the limit for uploaded levels per user is very high. This is from Team Meat blog: Q: Can players create their own warp zones? A: Players wont be able to place warp zones in levels, but we will let players make 3 level chapters. Q: Can players make dark world versions of levels? A: Yes, but they will have to be another chapter. chapter uploads go in packs of 20 total, so you could upload a chapter called Forest with 20 levels. then make a set of 20 dark levels and name them Forest Dark. but you wont be able to make dark world variations the same way we have them in game. More about it here: Link |

I'm almost certain that you can upload single levels, sets of 3, or sets of 20. Yes, I could be wrong, but my conversations with Edmund lead me to believe this.

My bet is that you can upload infinite chapters with 1-20 levels each. Why? I believe that SMB's world maps are generated based on the number of levels. The SMB demo used the same snaking pattern, so did The End.
Also, why limit how many chapters you can put up? 20 level chapters made up of large levels are about 200kb (my largest level is under 10kb) That's TINY, unbelievably small. On a server using 1 500 gb HDD, you could save 2.5 million 20 level chapters.
500 Gb is really small. What if we assume team meat picks up 1.5 terrabytes of memory (About $70 on newegg)? That's 7.5 million 20 level chapters, for a grand total of 150 MILLION levels.
1.5 Terrabytes is still not very large. Edmund, if you do respond, how much memory are you picking up for your servers?
I don't think we need to worry about upload limits.

For future nerdy reference, server harddrives are A) more expensive B)usually come in smaller sizes and C) require you to typically get them in batches of 5. Plus odds are, they rent the server space from a host who takes care of all that, not them. So your argument is kind of null  |

Brownie is the same as Meat Boy ;p
But yeah, I agree the last slot should be given to him. Also neener neener, I was right about Dr Fetus

I know, but by that logic 8-bit, 4-bit, and Gameboy shouldn't be choices. Brownie deserves his own chapters; He's the shit  Well I don't think anyone really expected to see Dr. Fetus. I had my fingers crossed but wasn't holding my breath for it. Maybe one day... |

I didn't get a sneak peek. I just asked him "Hey where's brownie" when he showed that image. "I knew I forgot someone!" and then he added him.
