I think he is a Stinker, and the Wonderland Series is his autobiography.

My question ... Do you knit your own hats or get them imported from Beanies R Us?

What do you think!
He is not a stinker! Stinkers are Wonderland game Characters they are not real!
She was joking.
This is our community now. This is it.

Unfortunately learning takes time.

As said multiple times, the typing mistake was an honest mistake.

How do you know they aren't real?

Who does the music for the wa series, is it still Purple Motion or someone else?

Muzozavr · Post by **Muzozavr** » Tue Aug 20, 2013 10:21 pm

Starting from MOFI, all the "new" music, as far as I know, was done by Dan Reynolds. That's the jungle theme, the Kaboom! village and so on.

The music in the first WA game was still done by Purple Motion.

Ok, Here's my second question:
Will there be any future games for Wonderland in the adventures trilogy?

You can't ask a bunch of questions and pretend it's one question. Each question mark ends a question and starts a new one.

That's a lot of questions

Wait, so your saying that trilogy is basically 3?
So, there's only 3 wonderland adventures games...

That's the definition of a trilogy, yeah.

Oh yeah, two... For the second question I think I might settle with "Do you plan on making more games like Intensity XS or frazzled?" I apologize for my lack of attention to the rules above.

Where do you get sounds for wonderland adventures?I just got one in quake 2 game.

Were you commissioned to make Krabby Quest, or did you make it for some random reason?

What's your opinion on all the hacks made to the WA Editor?

md · Post by md » Mon Sep 30, 2013 9:29 am

Did you ever plan to make a MOFI Editor, did you just intentionally skip it, or did you just forget it?

Nobody · Post by **Nobody** » Wed Oct 02, 2013 5:06 am

He did make it.

Lucky-Luc · Post by **Lucky-Luc** » Wed Oct 02, 2013 11:41 am

To give a slightly more informative answer than Nobody: Yes, there was a MOFI editor. Most of the adventures in MOFI were created by forum members, so there had to be one. IIRC it basically was the same as the WA editor, only with the MOFI elements added. If you want to know why it was never released to public, you'll have to ask MS though

(MS - I hope you don't mind me giving away that information, but I figured it wasn't really that secret)

Don't worry about it, that information was given away back in 2009.

Which came first for the first WA game, the editor or the actual game?

The editor has to come first or else MS won't be able to actually make levels.

He could simply use actual code to generate levels, but that would just waste time and be too complicated.

What I meant is an official MOFI editor, not the hacked one.

Whoops, sorry, didn't realise I made 2 separate posts instead of combining them both into a single post.

That is also possible, but coding a level editor first then improving it as he goes seems more plausible - you need to code it anyways.

I know that, I've done a bit of coding myself. It just makes more sense to make a small level editor for yourself (and other level designers) to create levels, even if it is as non-user friendly as possible.

Even if you do not plan to make a public level editor for other people to use, it is still much easier to make one for yourself, rather than coding every single level.

And that's exactly what Lucky-Luc was talking about. There was an official editor with MOFI elements added made by Patrick, which was given to the level designers of MOFI.

Ah, but what I also meant was one that was released to the public. Was this editor by any chance one that is user friendly?

Maybe I should just simply rephrase my question...
Did you ever plan to release a MOFI Editor, did you just intentionally skip it, or did you just forget it?

Question:
Is the POTZ game going to come with the editor like RTW or will we have to download it seperately?

Actually we know the answer - Patrick mentioned somewhere they'll be separate downloads.
