I'm working on a new level, I stopped the other project with the connected levels. My new idea is a level with a scary atmosphere.

And I'm still waiting for n00b to betatest that episode I gave him 5 months ago...

Here are some screen shots from my coming single player pack:

The level in the second screenshot could use more tile variety and less blue tubes. Everything else, though, looks neat. Good job so far.

Oh no, I took the wrong image :P this one should have been instead of the second one:

Seems good as well .

Wow, that looks like something I would have made in '01.

DS' level looks way better than any level you've made in 2005, so...

When I see all those new levels coming up, I fell like making one too.

You're not counting the various unfinished ones lying around then.


Be extra nice and maybe I'll finish that one (and maybe tone down the amount of ammo too).

I myself find too much eyecandy better.

Imageshack is down, so I can't post a sarcastic image D=

Actually, I'm disagreeing with Cooba here. Defosts screenshot > DS's sorry :(.
Because if a level has barely any eyecandy it would be too boring for me to play in, but if a level has too much I would still play in it because there's a lot to look at and keep you busy, but I just wouldn't have serious matches in it.

No offense intended to either of you, I'm sure your levels will turn out good when finished :).

Looks awesome. Nice to see that tileset used.

And Cooba, I have to disagree too, it looks way better than that level by DarkSonic. It doesn't say much about the gameplay though, ofcoruse.

Except way worse.

........and where did I say that DS's level is better than Defost's ISLANDS one? They're equally unpleasant in my opinion. But then again Stijn you're one of those people who assume that excessively clobbered layers mean good eyecandy so I don't know why am I even arguing with you

Well, the level is a bit rushed.. it's not completely done yet, although I'm really far with it. The tileset doesn't offer alot of eye candy except some trees and caves, and slopes to use in the foreground. While I look at the screenshot, I find some bugs in them. But it will be fixed as soon as possible. And that Islands level looks good in my opinion.

How about this: both levels have eyecandy that will not appeal to certain groups of people, although some people might be more willing to tolerate that of one level than that of the other, and some other people might even like the eyecandy of one or both of them. For maximum approval, however, it might be wisest to make levels with eyecandy at sufficient but not excessive levels.

Assuming Defost's was made in 2005, which he was indicating by saying that thing about the unreleased levels.
Or do you mean gameplay? In that case, where did I say that the gameplay of one of the levels was better than that of the other?

When I said "anything you've made in 2005" I obviously meant anything I have seen him make in 2005. Why would I judge unreleased levels (which I had no idea even existed)?

My thoughts exactly.

I tend to take things literally when I feel like it

I'm too lazy to make levels right now but I might soon

New screenshots :







The level will be uploaded soon so then you can play the level.

Well, to say the truth: I'm incapable of not overworking the eyecandy in my levels. There.

Is it just me, or your level is very linear, DS?

Hmm, from what I can see in your screenshots, the level looks pretty good. And you've choosen a good tileset. Blade rocks!

Can't wait!

Well, the level isn't that linear. There are enough paths to the bases and such. I'll upload the level today or tomorrow.

It's Distopia!

Everything made with that tileset looks like a Distopia clone ;(

Looks good, though. I don't, however, like the placement of the scratches.
