You can't ask a bunch of questions and pretend it's one question. Each question mark ends a question and starts a new one.
i should change my signature to be rude to people who hate pictures of valves

Oh yeah, two... For the second question I think I might settle with "Do you plan on making more games like Intensity XS or frazzled?" I apologize for my lack of attention to the rules above.
To give a slightly more informative answer than Nobody: Yes, there was a MOFI editor. Most of the adventures in MOFI were created by forum members, so there had to be one. IIRC it basically was the same as the WA editor, only with the MOFI elements added. If you want to know why it was never released to public, you'll have to ask MS though
(MS - I hope you don't mind me giving away that information, but I figured it wasn't really that secret)

The editor has to come first or else MS won't be able to actually make levels.
He could simply use actual code to generate levels, but that would just waste time and be too complicated.

What I meant is an official MOFI editor, not the hacked one.

If you bothered to copy and paste this signature, or zoom in, to make it possible to read, then I wasted 5-10 seconds of your life.

That is also possible, but coding a level editor first then improving it as he goes seems more plausible - you need to code it anyways.
I know that, I've done a bit of coding myself. It just makes more sense to make a small level editor for yourself (and other level designers) to create levels, even if it is as non-user friendly as possible.
Even if you do not plan to make a public level editor for other people to use, it is still much easier to make one for yourself, rather than coding every single level.

And that's exactly what Lucky-Luc was talking about. There was an official editor with MOFI elements added made by Patrick, which was given to the level designers of MOFI.

Ah, but what I also meant was one that was released to the public. Was this editor by any chance one that is user friendly?
Maybe I should just simply rephrase my question...
Did you ever plan to release a MOFI Editor, did you just intentionally skip it, or did you just forget it?
