if you wanna make levels like me it will take time, especially when you're busy. the notion that it wouldnt take a lot of time is completely wrong

If we are talking about leveling in creating a map for say Babord. It wouldn't take a lot of time. I don't know how you create levels. Unless you're super picky about everything on the map. You should be able to create a fairly decent level if you know what you're creating and have the tiles and everything set fairly quickly. In fact, ill give an example.
Below are a simple Bazaar and mini town I made. Nothing too fancy or something that would make you go crazy over. i mainly just made it because i was bored and wanted to use this public tileset ( ill leave a link to it if anyone wants it. amazing tileset). I created levels for every house you enter as well as multiple rooms for each, Created cave systems. Animated the water and also animated the flags and some grass parts so they move with the wind. Animated the waterfall, and even set up an animation that allows the lily pads to move around if a character goes in the water. and gets close to them. And most importantly set up collision on every item so your character doesn't walk on the buildings. And I even did other small things like creating a simple system for when you buy potions, Mana potions. even made in a simple health system and mana system. to go with it and created bandit AI for the player to fight and level up against. Although I didn't create a character.
And how long did it take to create all this? literally made everything in 1 study hall in school which is about 40 minutes for me. And this would take even less time for Classic's staff. As I'd imagine there tileset is already set up for certain things to have collision or not, Any animated objects would already be ready and animated the moment u place it in. Any AI is already created unless they create new ones, And most importantly there is more than 1 person working on the level. And even as dusty said in another thread. They created the entire north wilderness area in apparently a day. I doubt even that long. So if they seriously wanted to, Creating Babord would not take a lot of time at all.
