Prologue
This evening I've been hosting levels at JJ2.. Some of my old classic ones (TEC Hotel, Cracco Mountain and Cracco Moon).. Then I wanted to host my old level Cracco Land of Coins and I realised that despite it taking very long to finish, it's still a fun level (Some of the people who've been playing JJ2 online for some years now may remember that level, also known as LoC). The last version of LoC was kinda messed up because I used 32 triggers instead of 31. So I altered LoC a little, fixed some other things too, and saved it. Then I just got an idea...
Conclusion
The very first version of LoC only had 5 coins (Air, Water, Fire, Earth and Nature). It didn't take too long to complete, but you had to do some searching though.
Most people don't have the patience nowadays to finish the full LoC quest (get all 32 coins), I'm sure that there are only a few people who have. But back in 2000, almost everybody who joined my server had enough patience to get only 5 coins. So..
The plan
What I'm going to do is make a single player pack of about 10 levels (each with a different tileset and theme) and put 5 coins in each. I will do my best to come up with some original ideas, and maybe convert some of the more popular quests in the original LoC (or TaD). I will try to keep the levels well-balanced so they'll be fun and not too hard or too boring. As some people may remember, my old level Cracco Land of Coins barely had any eyecandy. That's another thing I want to improve for the "Land of Coins" level pack, the levels must also look good.
I know I haven't been too busy with JCS lately and I'm about to end my level/tileset-making career, but I'm dedicated to finishing this. I'm uncertain yet if I'm going to do this alone or with help from some other level makers.. Depends..
What I need is; some good, fresh ideas! After having made levels for more than 4 years, I'm running out of inspiration myself. So if everyone has any ideas for these new LoC-like levels, pleaaase share them with me (post them or PM/E-Mail/MSN them). :)
