Maybe some good news here
Devtools definitly need an overhaul. Not everyone want's to work online using /te and sometimes, it's just faster to work offline - especially if you wan't to be able to get a good overview quickly. Gonstruct has is mostly doing the job, but it's not really supported anymore and there are no additions.
Things that would be great for a new level editor:
- Work palette, where you can dynamically pick a subset of tiles you need next. It could maybe open as a small window next to the mouse with shift/rightclick, so you can change tiles very easily
- Resizeable random spraybrush, together with a filter which tiles should be replaced so you don't overwrite already detailed parts
The website needs a very urgent overhaul. Not only, but for example the guild system is very broken.
I like your post, as communication definitly needs to change to the better. Official structures and officials more or less appeared to be nonexistent leaving aside some forum moderation.
One last note, the witchhunt on avalonia players who formerly deved on graal should end, it absolutely has no positive effect at all and is pure revenge. Rather take up the challange and get better, but seems you have already started to do good effort.
Good luck, seeing forward to positive news, has been some time
