That'll be $20 please. Even LittleBigPlanet did miles better a decade ago.
For the record you actually can move objects to other layers. Hold R or L while it is selected, and press up or down on the directional pad to do it

Let me also add: >Can't change spawn points >Can't cover the entire background with a platform; the top of the stage will still be visible
This is the kind of content they release post-launch in 2019? How incompetent are they?
John Thompson
>Absolutely no preset blocks / platforms, even Brawl had those Yeah, this pisses me off, too. Also: >Still no ability to give stages a TRUE roof/ceiling because once someone dies they'll just respawn on top of the goddamn thing instead of inside the stage where they're supposed to be. All I've wanted since Brawl's Stage Builder is to make Bowser's iconic World 1-4 bridge and I fucking can't because of this. ;___;
Xavier Jackson
>That'll be $20 please. The stage builder is paid DLC?
Anthony Collins
No, It's free
Blake Garcia
No ceiling is also pretty fucking stupid. So many basic things just plain missing.
No, but if you want to take part in the amazing process that is sharing content, you have to pay. All that extra money goes into getting really good online play and great updates like this one.
Juan White
Oh, right, i forgot about paid online. But i'm guessing you can still build stages for yourself, right?
Alexander Kelly
To workaround, you can place a cannon that shoots you down and lava besides it to prevent camping on the roof, but yeah. My biggest dissapointment is that we only get regular lava, and not the one from Great Cave Offensive that offs you at 100%
Luis Jackson
The update is free nigger
Oliver Nelson
Yes you can >You need to pay for online to use online features what a surprise There are things to complain about (mostly the quickly reached size limit for me), but price isn't one of them since it's literally a free update
Jackson James
shit thanks for the tip, i was literally and painfully redrawing shit when i accidentally drew on the wrong layer
Jason Foster
Are you kidding me? Goddamn it. I had to keep redrawing shit several times cause I kept doing it in the wrong layers.
No problem, I actually made like six or seven stages before I found out you can do it. It was by pure accident too, the game kind of hides that feature for some reason. It's actually really helpful even if you fuck up and draw on the wrong layer on TOP of another object it seems to let you remove it and correct it to the right one

>Can't change spawn points This one is downright stupid. It would be okay if it ended up putting players in sensible positions, but no, let's place players within grab reach of each other.
Dominic Hernandez
>>Limited to 12 "backgrounds" which are just pngs of existing ones, no animations
I wouldn't see this as a problem if they didn't reduce it to jusrt 12. There are over 100 backgrounds already in the game. Why can't we use those?

>Even LittleBigPlanet did miles better a decade ago. Are you retarded or something? Of course LBP did it better, because the game is basically just a level editor. The literal core of the game. It's like me going into LBP, download some level made by a dude that did a smash level in LBP and say >Ugh. LBP is so shit. Smash 64 did miles better a decade ago.
Cooper Torres
Maybe he thinks you need the online subscription to download updates/patches
Asher Moore
>Even LittleBigPlanet did miles better a decade ago. LBP is the best editor in a video game ever you fucking retard.
Luke Bennett
reminds me of littlegbigplanet but looks worse
Owen Barnes
It's immensely flawed in a lot of really obvious ways, but I wouldn't say it's shit. It just could've been a lot better, and it is sad that they delayed the level editor for half a year and still fucked up so many key elements, but it's alright, and it's better than no level editor at all. If they charged for this shit, THEN I would be mad, but as a free update, alright, fine.
Thomas Price
>Limited to 12 "backgrounds" which are just pngs of existing ones, no animations I honestly don't get this, they look so lousy. The only excuse I can come up with is that they were trying to give the complexity meter as much as possible, and the little Switch can only handle so much, but even then I doubt it'd be that big of a factor. >Can't change characters for testing This pisses me off, Smash 4's let you change characters. There's no way it would've been hard to do the exact same thing. Laziness. >Shitty size limit that's reached quickly To my experience, it seems a bit better than 4's? Blame the Switch as a console for this, really, not the editor itself. >Can't use assets from other stages One of the things I liked most about Brawl's editor was the ability to use assets, it really irks me that they never bothered to give us the option. Plus, with the switch item as an example, the programming is there to have placeable objects on the player-level that move along with the platforms, so they easily could've done that, but, again, didn't. >Eraser isn't an actual eraser I hate this. Make one tiny mistake on a huge object? Draw the entire thing again, fucker. >No "My Profile" This is absolutely nonsensical, even Nintendo, as bad with online as they are, have made content-sharing systems before which give you a profile page that allows you to view all of your creations and their stats. >Can't delete the shared content you upload This is such an intentionally obtuse thing that I'm pretty sure they did it on purpose so you couldn't upload a lewd map really quickly, have people download it, then take it down. But that feels like it's giving them way too much credit, they were probably just being retarded as usual.
