Is it going to be easy to create new holds for flash DROD? Because if it is, it would be really cool to have a new short 3-5 level hold each year. With AE building materials to make it easier.

To avoid competing room size standards, user-made FDROD holds are probably never going to exist. If people want to build their own puzzles, they will have to install the DROD program and use that.

Yes, I realize that. I just think that if the option was out there you could get SMS people to build one or two. But does that fall under your title of "User-made"?

Well, if the hold data was built with the intention of becoming an SMS, then that would not fall under my definition of a user-made hold. However, a strictly public level editor for FDROD is not likely for the reasons I described.

Not my decision by any means, of course. skell (and maybe Imer), plus the architects making the FSMS would be in charge of that. So who knows?

Aw, come on, don't discourage others. Just do modifications to the TCB engine (remember to use the correct version up to the third number), compile and voila - you can make levels. You can't play then in the flash engine though...

But jokes aside, there is no chance for it in the current plans. Once we release KDDL4-6 and the Special hold, what will come next will have to be properly thought out.
