Since when can you drown?

You can be slowed down by water and be unable to reach the blocks you need gun 6 to destroy before the water reaches them. That's how you drown. You drown on FRUSTRATION.

Any idea about the release?

Poor tileset choice, in my opinion. Interesting level, though.

what's wrong with jj1 tilesets? the concept evilmike tells us completely fits with the set.

Yeah because a level themed around raising/lowering water levels using a jj1 tileset from a level built around the same concept is definitely a bad idea.

The jj1 version of dreempipes is better than the IC one (the remake), though I would say both are decent. Even cooba admits that. JJ1 dreempipes is hard to use, but if you use it right it looks good, and that's all that matters.

The episode is still a long way from being finished. My plan for a while has been to release it in the first half of 2009. More specific than that, I cannot say. Hopefully it will come out before a year passes from the release of the previous episode.

The Dreempipes remake I'd committed about two years ago is unsightly and useless and I don't understand anyone who uses more of its tiles than the rocks (which I'm kinda fond of).

(This calls for a meta-remake!)

Hopefully this is ready for wednesday so I can release this project asap

freaking ossim

That will indeed be something to look forward to. And that set is very underused, hopefully something good will be made out of it.

Pretty much the whole level is like this.

great now it'll seem like I'm stealing your ideas :<

well, that's what I get for taking so freaking long

Its coming sooner then you think ;D

Should we assume that those aircrafts are in the background? The way you took the image kind of makes them look like they're layer 4.

Layout of my new upcoming CTF; Snowy Caves. The thin blue line represents the height of the water.

Snz: Very cool, nice and creative. You are such good with concepts :3..

Crimi : no comment, let me just laugh my (-)(-)(-) off. :M

Spaz18: Good one, but i wonder if you also think more creative with concepts ;D. i also think the level is quite tunnely, with pretty small paths. try to prevent that next time!

as For now, My first collab and for Pj's contest. A level by Hitch and me . (we still don't have a name yet) Hitch is such a whiner in that case
Here comes the ultimate spam off fotoshoots ->















that's all.. hehehhe Your pc won't lag, promise me

I don't really like holiday themes, but that level has wicked eyecandy! I'd like to see that in gameplay.

me neither actually.. but still it gives a nice feeling playing it while xmas. and It's for Purplejazzs contest of course ;D

Looks good so far Faw, that level's gonna have a nice atmosphere :P

anyway it's BOOM BOOM

This is a screenshot of my level for the Christmas Contest. I'm using JJ1 Nippius (sorry EM, but I just wanted to use it again because I've gotten much better with it)

Better than I am with it, that's for sure.

Not sure why you're apologising though.

never known there were so many possibilities with that set

Well, I thought that because you're using it for the main level in episode five I couldn't bother using it. But because I suddenly got some EC ideas with the set I decided to use it.

The eye candy might be a bit confusing, but all tiles in layer 5 and 6 are unmasked (except a few in layer 5 but those are in the walls) I think I will finish this level today or tomorrow.

IT BURNS MY EYES.

Good use of the set, though.

some more screenshots

Snz's screens give a real nice feeling, lemme see that asap.

but holy smokes, DS, good job... although it still looks DS-ish.

Love the epic feeling the second shot gives off, Snz!

Snooze thats beutiful.

Dark sonic your levels are very good. looks very nice that level:P
I still building the 5th level... Maybe I will put a short trailer about my singleplayer pack.

DS: Loving that screenshot. Very original use of the JJ1 Nippius tileset. Eyecandy is looking awesome.

Snooze: Very nice looking Christmas level. The background in the second screenshot looks lovely. Too bad the Xmas Floating Lizards can't be used in 1.23 as they would really fit very nicely in the level.

In the screenshot below is the updated layout of Snowy Caves. I have made the tunnels bigger and removed the unecessary small platforms and replaced them with trees.

I alredy finished 5 level but I need to do some changing. Like i put some moth on levels and making shadows. After I finished these, I will make the level 6 and 7 and two new own tileset and 2 story level.

I'm working on shadowing now:

Still very platform-y.

Oh sweet.

I've always had a soft spot for these Hocus Pocus stuff.

Looks nice, but what's new there?
Another palette?

And don't besmirch MS.

It seems to be the Crispy palette with the background of Dark Reign. And that line 'Looks like a clone of Medieval Skyscrapers to me!' is a joke, find out what's meant by that by browsing through this thread. It looks nice, but I have no idea what's going on..

Anyway:

I knew I should have finished that race in WTFSet D:

[Yeah looks nice]

Absolutely styme it.

The hell! Be ever judicious.
