changedA good word for forking/modding/recreating maps - Voila! Let's call it Remakes
changedFirst off, collaboration . We noticed that many players feel that they lack the skills to make real cool pixel arts. Coloring for example was an occasion. So, we came up with an idea. Let's make it easier to players so that a creator can upload an original map, then have someone else edit it. It's as simple as that.
addedSecond, Permission . Moving forward, when a creator uploads a new map, the creator can select to allow remakes of this map. If you do not wish to allow other players to re-create your map, you can simply mark it off and Tah dah. On the other hand, if you see a pixel art that is marked with a [RE], it means the creators of the level has allowed other players to re-make it.
addedAnother important aspect of the whole REMAKE concept was recognition . We didn't want someone to upload a new map without recognizing the original creator. Hence, with the new update, all the original creator's nickname will be encrypted to the level. You will be able to see who has worked on it to make the most recent level possible.

We thought it would be really cool if our workshop community could collaborate creating pixel art levels together. Razorflamekun and moondaesa for example created these levels together.

So the team had long meetings trying to figure out a good way to implement a collaborative model and to design it into the game. Here are a couple of features that we considered very important.

  1. Collaboration

  2. Permission

  3. Recognition

  4. A good word for forking/modding/recreating maps - Voila! Let's call it Remakes

Hence, with the new update, all the original creator's nickname will be encrypted to the level. You will be able to see who has worked on it to make the most recent level possible.

The most difficult part is always deciding on what to call this new feature. As much as we are still open to better names for this collaboration model, we are calling it REMAKEs for now. Please feel free to let us know if you think there is a better word to describe what we are doing here.😃

Looking forward to collaborating with you all!

Cheers,

-Team Cogoo
