Ryuki Ishii<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Game developer Arvi Teikari announced the release date for the <em><strong>Baba Is You<\/strong><\/em> level editor update. It will be released on November 17 for PC\/Mac\/Linux and Nintendo Switch. The \u201cBaba Make Level\u201d free update will add a level editor, along with 150+ new puzzles including ones that showcase unused designs and cut content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Baba Is You Editor Update Trailer\" width=\"1160\" height=\"653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/U4W_9rfjSus?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll be able to create and share your levels using the new level editor, and of course, try out other players\u2019 creations as well. Place various word objects such as WIN, AND, STOP, and PUSH, as well as the normal terrain or building objects to bring your ideas to life. You can place or erase multiple objects at once, undo your actions, and check the tutorials, making it easy to use. There are numerous visual options to customize the look of your level as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the levels that are shared online will be featured in the curated \u201cFeatured levels\u201d list, so there\u2019s a chance your levels will be in the limelight. The level editor feature has been in the beta phase for quite a while now and has been refined in terms of both functionality and UI.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20201215-146201-header.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6015\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20201215-146201-header.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20201215-146201-header-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20201215-146201-header-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20201215-146201-header-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20201215-146201-header-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20201215-146201-header-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20201215-146201-header-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20201215-146201-header-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20201215-146201-header-747x420.jpg 747w\" \/><figcaption>*Screenshot from the beta version (December 2020)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>In addition, more than 150 new puzzles will be added. You can see some of the new levels in the trailer above, including the one that looks like a <em>Space Invaders<\/em> game, and levels with new gimmicks such as turning yourself into a ghost. New word objects will be introduced, and they will likely test the players\u2019 puzzle-solving skills even more. \u201cA lot of additional tweaks, bug fixes, and polish\u201d will also be included.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Baba Is You<\/em> is a puzzle game where you move your character and push blocks to find the solution, similar to <em>Sokoban<\/em>. A level is cleared when the character is moved to the object with the WIN property attached. There are noun, property, and operator (words that go in between a noun and a property) objects placed in each level, and you can change the level\u2019s rules by making sentences out of them. The game won critical acclaim as a unique puzzle game that requires players to think flexibly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This major update had been planned for a long time, but its delivery kept getting delayed, likely due to the time needed to make improvements to the level editor. Arvi Teikari apologized for the delay by saying, \u201cI&#8217;m very sorry for the 1-year delay \ud83d\ude41 Nevertheless, better late than never, I suppose.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In any case, players will be able to enjoy this game even more with the significant amount of new content included in the upcoming update.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/babaisyou_\/status\/1458928584979058692\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Baba Is You level editor update to release on Nov. 17.
