So it doesn't matter =/

I have now decided to call my level "Action Station."
Here is another screen:



ARGH! Why did I upload it as JPG?!

You shouldn't use foreground tiles in the background. Otherwise not bad.
Well, some slight tile-bugs, but that's nothing.

So I just recently finished, or at least 99% done, Castle of Mysteries. It uses Blades newest set, Fortress of Forgotton Souls. Quite a hard one to learn. And pretty tough to build Eyecandy in the brick tiles. Anyway, here's a few shots of the recent level.









The last picture has a nice impression of spaz acting like a retard. Anyway, as for the rest of the pack, I'm not sure if I'll be continuing this pack, meaning, it will only contain thr 4 levels it has now. But I'll be starting in a new genre of level making, not CTF or Battle anymore, but Flag run and Assault and a few others for JDC events and things like that. But if I do change my mind, you might see one more level in this pack, if not, exspect a release in late August.

The spikes in the walls just looks ugly to me. Still looks decent though.

Need to finetune everything etc.. Nothing is finished yet.

Tileset = IC - Carrottus.

Hitch: why are you using the background bricks on layer 3? Otherwise it looks good even if the walls need work.

Dx: interesting take on Carrotus there.

It's hard to create eyecandy in the bricks, I thought the black made a nice touch to it, though it's just me.

You're getting there, hitch.

Interesting style with carrotus, dx.

Unfinished etc.. But I want to know, do you like it? The style? (see screens above this post too)

I really do.

I don't, hills should be built with filled tiles (FILLED I TELL YOU!!). And these rooms remind me of crappy hotel rooms that are linked with warps.

Reminds me of you .

Dx I can't wait to see this come out it looks great.

I'm pretty impressed by the Carrotus pictures Dx, but what Iconguy said made me think about something... The logs look like they've intentionally been placed by someone but yet there is a load of moss or leaves and vines all over the place- Looks unreal to me. Not like it matters, it still looks good. One thing I dislike however is that the logs bend (which I dont think I've ever seen in real life, baring in mind that this is a game still) and that they aren't very well separated from eachother, at least you thought about supporting them with vertical logs. ;P On a sidenote, it does look as if there are little rooms, except that's not a bad thing.

(I feel like I just rambled on pointlessly, it looks good. ;o)

My only problem with it is the minimalistic background and middleground tiles clashes on occasion with the cluttered and messy-feeling foreground tiles. Its most apparent to me as feeling 'off' in these two screens.

The one where Jazz is on a vine hook and the vines fill up the areas between the other hooks looks extremely great and is an exception to what I mentioned.

There has never been a post on this forum more worthy of a high-five than this one.

Rag: At a guess, the wooden structure was build before the moss grew all around.

Wait, since when are levels realistic?

Gosh you guys made so many typos that Im not even gonna bother correcting them. D:

That doesn't explain the bending logs Cooba D:. And also, yeah Iconguy is right once again, ;[ I care too much about the little things... BUT BUT BUT, nonetheless it still looks good D;.

(Im now taking back anything nice and hi5ish I ever said to n00b) D;.

Edit: I thought this post was too negative, so I'm gonna say something fun. I like cheese.

Obviously there isn't any layer 6/7 eyecandy yet. This is a really small but very vertical level. But when there is this level is supposed to be built around a waterfall in the middle of a jungle (that explains it's name and why it is so dependent on the Y-axis).
Also, it's named after the music, os_mdstream.xm.
This is at the very bottom.
P.S.: Yay for pits! NOT

Firrst of all, I think you should have added the layer 6/7 eyecandy before uploading just to make it look as good as you possibly can, I mean these screenshots don't actually show much about gameplay... Is that a race? A CTF? - So probably showing off your EC should be shown more... And also, if I'm not mistaken isn't a stream like a river? I probably am wrong, I hate geography. ;( (I'm also curious if that level has pits or not, because if it has, why would you say "Yay for pits! NOT" D:. Anyway anyway, it still looks good ;o.

And erm, PJ, I can only assume that's a battle (I guess I'm right o.0) and so I'm wondering, is there a lot of water in that level, or is that just the bottom? It looks quite nice and I wasn't quite aware such a pallete existed ;o. (I bet its either made by PJ or IC) D:

I like it this far.

And that level does really look nice, Dx.

Yes, it is battle, no, this part is pretty much the only part where you need to swim, and the pallette edit was made by me.

HOLY (-) IT'S THE APOCALYPSE, EIGUS FINISHED A LEVEL



looking for betatesters

Looking good. I see six tilebugs. Fix them and maybe I won't KILL you. D: (Mainly on the brick areas). Other than that looks good ;D

I am blind, I don't see them :l

The WSF bricks lost all their depth

It's a CTF level.

So probably showing off your EC should be shown more... And also, if I'm not mistaken isn't a stream like a river? I probably am wrong, I hate geography. ;(

(Is there not such thing as originality? :P)

I'm also curious if that level has pits or not, because if it has, why would you say "Yay for pits! NOT" D:. Anyway anyway, it still looks good ;o.

Yes, it has pits, but only at the very bottom near the power ups.
And thank you! ;D

EDIT: A small little update:

Added the BG eyecandy now.
(P.S: If you look at one of the blue springs, you might see what you think is a tile bug. If you look more closely, that is a water fall in the background. ;p)

Rag's criticism is going overboard.
"Be ever judicious" and whatnot.

All recent screens look nice and interesting to me.

Most of people have seen this level but i figured i should post an actual ss.

Confusing! Can't wait to see it in action

that looks creative

PAGE CLAIM !

Butbutbut I saw the pic just not in-game, which is what I think Snooze meant... Right guys? Right?

*awkward silence*

I saw that level in-game and I was really LOVIN' IT!
The eyecandy was absolutely INCREDIBLE! I am so looking forward to seeing the finished version.
