is there any chance that you'll release some mapping tools so the modding Community can make its own Maps oh I mean it would be really cool yeah that's a big question but I mean I don't really know how easy this is and I have a I have an, a suspicion it's not easy at all I have a suspicion this might actually be really difficult for us to do cuz I mean might be one of those things where like potentially you would just have to make like it in the same way that I do in unreal, and then somehow save them as a specific file type and then import it somehow I don't really know how this will work, because like we don't have we don't have a custom engine for this and I think a lot of games that have like created like mapping tools have a custom engine where they essentially like tore out part of that engine, and then made it available for people to use and then probably also made it more accessible for people that aren't game developers and don't have five years to spend learning this thing, so I don't know I don't know, this this could be easier than I think or this could be even harder than I think and I think this is probably extremely difficult, something smaller might be possible like Aliana is saying in chat like node placement like that might be something easier to do but I don't know if that is a a a direction we want to go down I don't know I've I've always liked and this is in no way something that like is being worked on or anything like that or or considered for a pipeline it's just a personal thing that I've always had where some sort of randomizer for notes placement or I don't know a a very maybe Bare Bones kind of, sort of map generator that just kind of uses our acid library to make something very simple but random so that people that are looking for a very specific kind of challenge can have it but I don't know again this is something that is just in my head and I am not a very like technical person I don't like work with the engine in that way I just face the trees and write the words you know so I don't really know how much of a can of worms this is but it probably is a giant can of worms so yeah I don't know
