The repository of unfinished levels.

[n0]

So, I make a good design for a level. I even get it to the point where there are no tile bugs. I have some generic other layer eyecandy. And then I give up.

This is the state that I find all of my levels in. All of them. Every single one.

I've uploaded around one level ever that was not a concept level of some kind.

All of my concept levels have generic eyecandy, but that's fine, that's not what is getting rated.

So, basically what I'm asking is for someone who has problems coming up with good designs but has no problem making eyecandy and placing ammo and stuff to contact me, because I have a couple of levels that could use releasing / re-releasing, that have potential but don't look pretty.

Oh! Almost forgot to mention, the levels are using the tilesets "Unreal Imagination" by Disguise, "Cornflake01" by Radium, and "Nature's Ruins" by Disguise.

I've had the same problem in the past. I still haven't finished my 2nd release.

This is what you do, and it works remarkably well for me:

Make a list of all possible events that you could use for the level. When you get to a point where you don't know what to add next, choose an event at random and think of how you can use that event creatively. When the level is done, go over it a second time and try the same method to add more events to each "area." A good level has LOTS of events (used creatively, of course). Shade Castle, Alien Chemistry, and any of chandie's levels are good examples of this. A great deal of gameplay in JJ2 is based off of what you might call "gimmicks." Remember in games like Donkey Kong Country where you'd have to bounce off of enemies to get somewhere, or shoot yourself out of a barrel at the right time. It's very much the same thing. Each level you make is like creating a new game, and you have to base the level off of trademark event/scenery combinations like the loop-de-loops in Sonic.

There. That should do it for you =)

You should see my folder... It's full of levels never finished. I think about an idea "Wow, that sounds cool!" I start making the idea, after few days, it just forgots to my folder...

FORGOTS TO YOUR FOLDER? :O

I get that all the time. I had an awesome single player idea called Draago and I got the intro going, even tho it didn't work properly, that needs replacing and start of the first level. I accidentally managed to host TCP while running Hamachi... woops. In case you saw it it's Draago Castle Dungeons.
