In recent weeks I've been over the toolkit and how it's been a lower priority for a while now. The reason for this besides the extra workload was trying to get the kit to a point it can be used by anyone which was the whole reason for starting it.
When working on completely different games you'd be surprised how often doing something new in one can lead to drastic rethinks in how you develop the other. Having reached such a point I think I can safely say the toolkit if reworked from ground up could be far better.
What I propose to do is make it into an actual game rather than a collection of scripts. One that will work in the same vain as Mario maker, providing an in game map editor where you can set up maps and animatronics, save them as a simple file and be able to distribute the files so others can play maps through their copy of the game.
NOTE: The game would not support custom animatronics or objects for a while so it would be limited for the moment in exchange for simplicity and easy sharing.
