My main reason why i bought Gish was because of a few things in the GameDev.net interview:
What's the game editor like? Is it an in-game editor or a separate tool? How was it made?
Alex: it's an in-game editor, nothing too fancy; it was coded in with the rest of the game. You can change the background and foreground, add objects, change objectives and stuff like that
and
Was there any scripting used in the game?
Alex: No. There are things that will appear to be scripted events, but are actually simulated, like huge blocks falling down or things collapsing. For example, Edmund made a level where you have to ride collapsing pillars over to the other side of a chasm, by placing blocks in a way that they fall as you get near them. We will probably add something similar to scripting to allow for different events, but it won't be a scripting language, because I'm too lazy to put that in :-) It will probably just be something with the object editor
I've searched and searched but i haven't seen a level editor or object editor anywhere. I am very disapointed and quite mad about that.
I just finished the game and probably won't play the game anymore now. But i (and others) can have endless fun with a level/object editor. Especially with a game like Gish. Think about mappacks, level contests, challenges, speed mapping and more. I've showed the game to a couple of friends of mine and they all said "this game needs an editor". And i'm pretty sure every Gish customer agrees.
So, is it coming in a patch? If so, how long must we wait for it?

Why? They never said that the initial release of Gish will feature a level editor.

I think thats a bit unfair... look at what came out in the 1.5 patch, i think a level editors still in the cards...
A full chapter creation tool would be awesome. Fan created gish expansions would add months of gaming goodness.
Also, Gish got a write-up in Penny-Arcade yesterday
a recommendation from the two most prominent figures in gaming... well...

The level editor may be released at some point down the line.
