There are no standards that a level has to follow to be good. Not to mention hella awesome.

Tough (-), not everyone is going to like what you make. Stop being such a Dennis Dyack and just let the level speak for itself when you release it.

first of all you're no one to criticise whether some tile combination is right since you havent achieved anything when it comes to jcs. and no, best luck afterparty w/e doesnt count as an achievement. And "bg of two tiles" means what? because this level has lot of more then 2 tiles as bg.

im full of myself? not really, ive always welcomed criticism, and i always listen to it. but comparing creativity to those senseless images is just retarded. and when i finished this level i knew that not everyone would like it.. hah.

I remember emp saying that i shouldnt post a screen of this since there's so much to this level then that one screen.. i really should have listened to him. too bad..

and ive discussed this subject with multiple other people and theyve agreed that certain people here are usually just jealous, so there.

also, here's a tip: if you further want to bash my level just type, dont post those retarded images from clifferyB pack please.

Also, it's named after the music, os_mdstream.xm.
This is at the very bottom.
P.S.: Yay for pits! NOT

For some reason I really love this screenshot and it makes me wish I could make levels again.


PS: Next person to say "jealous" gets a headbutt.

Heh, the tile combinations make more sense than in the chasm. Really.

No, but stating that a personal opinion on art and/or people is a fact is.

Im jealous of the fact that you can say we deserve a headbutt and it goes.

Fawriel used Headbutt!

Ragnarok flinched!

It was almost as if you were ready for me D:.

Ragnarok ran away.

DON'T HACK JJ2 IT'S A BIG MESS

That looks interesting.. at least someone posted a screenshot after a lot of off-topic posts and spam.

I just have to say that 'Elsewhere' is an awesome name.

The tiles confuse me ;o

Succes!

(It will all become clear when I release this single-player pack.)

Uhhh i'm not that all happy with that look crimi. But I guess the gameplay will be more fun

Cool level. I like mazes like it.

back to topic,

this is some new CTF level....
nothing more to say


and another:


.....

Looking at the first screenshot, I'm having a bit of trouble with the three loose platforms... Wouldn't that, kind of, kill the flow, especially in a CTF level?

You can ran through them, and the base is under them. But I agree, one big platform seems better.

on the screen it looks worse than in-game when you're playing it, crimi

Well, that's true... and besides, I'm not really the one to complain about flow here *points at his own screenshot up there*, but somehow, the distance between those platforms kind of seems to ruin a perfect straight walk over them.

i keep it up with mp only.. (maybe people are going to review things withouth playing online first, that would be a pity)

Playing around with Jazz Graphics Pack...

AHHHH IT'S SONIC!!! (right?)

Violet you're my hero.

*hat off*

Violet posts so many cool stuff here, but I haven't seen any in action. D=. Isnt this thread show some of your levels that are "goning" on J2O? D:

I just learned that you should not run in Single Player (at least not all the time)

And that screenshot looks a lot like Emerald Hill Zone from Sonic 2.. which was one of my favourite zones from that game.

Anyway, here is a screenshot of the third level in Impressions A (it's the first CTF I finished for the pack and I finished 2 Battle levels too)

The grass is more like the emarald hill , yet the tiles below are green hill I guess.

Theoretically they're all eventually J2O-bound. :P I'm very... scattered. I get in moods, I work on something, I post a screenshot, I move on. But given that I'm being called out, I guess I could upload something? I guess. It's okay if it's three years old, right?

Valid point. The grass is much more like Emerald Hill (which I am not convinced is coincidental), but I liked the idea of not changing it, thus making it abundantly clear that one was playing Diamondus.
(Everyone recognizes the soil texture, or?)

ETA:
Going to focus on enemies for a bit now... so far I could have just used J1CS with bmp2blox, but I want to really play with what Graphics Pack can do. Should be fun. Here's an unfinished layout while I fiddle.

ETA 2: Success has been had with importing (though I had to make a supplementary program to make editing some of the files easier), now it's just down to actually making all the enemies. Why is there a Jill of the Jungle sprite in Jungrock's files?

<3 <3 <3

If you're going to have anything beta-tested, Violet, then let me take part in that.

Still working on it.
Fun fact: This level was originally inspired by Transport Station by DarkSonic.

layout for one of my SP levels is finished. I just have to add enemies.


Hmm, I don't have time to follow safety regulations...


...but I hope I find the right ventilation shaft before I'm blown away!
