Looks like a whole bunch of awesome.Sweet. Let me upload it somewhere and then I'll PM you.
I would like to be a beta tester. :)
I too would like to help you beta test the level.OK, I'll send you a PM, too.
Count me in. :)That's 3 beta testers.
this is very cool looking.Thank you. :3
Wow this looks very goodThanks. The three beta testers have said it was big, but it's not even done yet. X)
Offtopic: could you pm me the link to the userbar I had on the old forum? :OMe too.
The one im look forward to is the "garden"Heh, it's from Smashy's All Purpose
Ehm, well. I think atleast...Reeeeallllyyy....<_<120122 screens...
The one im look forward to is the "garden"(Yes, I'm quoting this again. No law against that, right? *knock on wood* X))
Ehm, well. I think atleast...Reeeeallllyyy....<_<120122 screens...
...XD
He was joking. That's 122 is one more han I have currently. (Well, now I have more, but I didn't update it yet. :oops:)Ehm, well. I think atleast...Reeeeallllyyy....<_<120122 screens...
...XD
With so many different area/tileset ideas, I think 120 would be kinda smallish.
I think it would be cool to have a kind of easy-exit shift maze. Like this guy says to keep taking a certain shift to get out, but it's cool to like explore with no idea what you're doing.Eh, I might implement a maze in the level.
EDIT: But that mightn't fit in with the scheme of this level.
Is it too late to apply to be a beta tester? :<Yes. I'm sorry. :( But you can look at teh prettiness in the preview. :3
I may not be able to finish this level if someone helps me.Oh no. Lets hope nobody decides to do that. :ohnoes:
Then you wanna help me? I'll send you a PM with the tileset.I may not be able to finish this level if someone helps me.Oh no. Lets hope nobody decides to do that. :ohnoes:
Seriously though, I think I'm fairly good with tilesets. It just takes me forever to do anything.
This level is getting better and better! I'm really looking forward to when you finally release it! :) As for houses, or tilesets in general, I don't know how good I am at drawing them, but I've just done a saloon (heavily inspired by this picture: http://www.kolpingjugend-peissenberg.de/Reports/Images/saloon.gif), and if I can help in any way (be it good or bad, or just with one single saloon ;)), I'll try because I'd hate to see this project abandoned! :) So, well, have a look at the attachment......:O That's amazing! But, unfortunately, I can't use it because I told Purple Pineapple he could do it. :( But it seriously looks a-freakin'-mazing. :D
C)p That's okay! I just took this as a sort of inspiration to draw something - at first, I didn't even draw it with the primary intention of uploading it so no bad feelings there ;) I also realise that strictly speaking, it's not even isometrically correct - just have a close look at the planks (is that the right word?) on the floor in front of the windows; but I suppose that's a general problem when trying to introduce perspective into pixel art... But it's not as evident now as it is at 800% zoom, I can tell you... :P If you like it anyway (I'd be honoured if you did), I would be okay with Purple Pineapple integrating it into his/her tileset (if he/she is okay with that too); I wouldn't even insist on being credited, just feel free to use it any way you like ;)This level is getting better and better!

EDIT: You can probably make a tileset yourself. Just make sure to put transparency in. It's either pure black (RGB 0,0,0) or magenta (RGB 255,0,255)
I'll get in contact with Purple Pineapple about that. :)C)p That's okay!

I could also make a tileset if you want me to, just tell me what kind of tileset you'd need - but it would be my first real tileset so you shouldn't rely on me alone X-P And I ought to warn you that I'd only be able to work rather slowly because I have to move in April and there's so much to do for university... But if I can shorten the waiting time for the level a little by contributing something (even if it would just be an unfinished tileset) that would be nice :)
By the way, I use GIMP, which has "real" transparency - would you be able to work with that as well? (In fact, I think I used pure black for the borders of my saloon - I could paint them over with (1,1,1) though.)
Great - it would be nice to have helped in some way :)I talked to Purple Pineapple, and he said it was okay. :3 Thank you.
Not at all :) Oh, and have a look at your inbox ;)I did. Thanks.

And I'm surprised that Purple Pineapple doesn't seem to have been confused when you asked him/her about a tileset he/she didn't even make... Oh well X-PI read the topic, not so much the PM. X)

Alright, back on topic. I'm running out of ideas, so people can post their ideas and tilesets they would like to see in the level. No garuntee(sp?) that they'll be used, but hey, it's worth a shot. :)That would explain it, yes X-PAnd I'm surprised that Purple Pineapple doesn't seem to have been confused when you asked him/her about a tileset he/she didn't even make...

guarantee. :3*headdesk* Thanks. xD (I seem to be a lot of headdesking these days. We need a headdesk and facepalm emote. :shifty:)
Anyway, there could be a space station possibly?
Well, I wanted it to go in space, so a space station could be a good idea. I just need a space station tileset. I looked on the broken forum, but I don't think there's any (good) tileset like it. :/ I'll look again.Googoogjoob once made a space station level using Tileset 6.
I'd rather use original tilesets. But I might use that tileset if I need to.Well, I wanted it to go in space, so a space station could be a good idea. I just need a space station tileset.

I can't remeber who created the tileset but it looked very spacey I believe it was called "unfinished area" something along those lines also if you are putting in a space station you should put in a deep sea laboratory or study area XD that would be SHWEET!Every KS levels needs an Underwater LabTM ever since AUA. ;)
I think it's just "UA." Also, area suggestion: Up in the cloudsAh, so many KS stereotypes. Clouds, Underwater LabsTM, dark foress, and pith-black underground caverns. XD But that's actually a good idea. :)
Looks cool, Its that my tileset remix in "the other side of the earth" area ?Yup. :3
Well, where else is there? Besides mountains and the ocean.I think it's just "UA." Also, area suggestion: Up in the cloudsAh, so many KS stereotypes. Clouds, Underwater LabsTM, dark foress, and pith-black underground caverns. XD
Mountains are either not in the level or the main theme of the level. Oceans are kinda neessary for any level near the water. :/ Anyway, yoou have a suggestion?Well, where else is there? Besides mountains and the ocean.I think it's just "UA." Also, area suggestion: Up in the cloudsAh, so many KS stereotypes. Clouds, Underwater LabsTM, dark foress, and pith-black underground caverns. XD
I meant where else could you set a level besides stereotypical spots.So that's a "yes" to underwater labs? XD
lol it's your level.I meant where else could you set a level besides stereotypical spots.So that's a "yes" to underwater labs? XD
And it's still growing. :Olol it's your level.I meant where else could you set a level besides stereotypical spots.So that's a "yes" to underwater labs? XD
EDIT: Ooh. I like that you attatched a map. Quite a few screens there.
That is the big thing these days. >.>Yeah, I don't see why everyone is so worked up over custom objects. It's a nice addition for sure, but unless you pull it of extremely well and make sure that no two objects on the screen are in sync, it will look weird.

This looks great. Keep it up.Thanks. ^_^
You should use my new tileset in there ;) http://nifflas.ni2.se/forum/index.php?topic=410.0*downloads tileset* Of course. Every level needs a snow area. :crazy: Also, anybody know any good cloud tilesets?
Id like to see it put to good use. Besides, youre missing a snow area. :^^:

EDIT: Or any good music, small in file size?
This keeps looking better and better. I enjoyed the demos on the old forum - the beehive had very nice usage of COs.The first part with the beehive was this level, and the part with my Pumpkinbot was The Terrain Deviates. And lemme see what tilesets you have made. I want to see if I could use some of the ones you've already made. :3 I may make a Vista area, but don't count on it. (And I hate Mac, so don't suggest it. <_<)
I don't remember if that was a demo for this, or another one of your levels, but there was an excellent PumpkinBot CO which gave me an idea - perhaps an 'Behind the Screen' area where Juni passes through the fourth wall and fiddles around with motherboards, processors, etc - perhaps even sliding down the Intarweb cable to end up in the forum (I know, that's sort of been done, but it could be done differently - with COs of certain users such as mods, etc... Maybe even Nifflas on his AdminThroneTM? Like a combination of the Nifftown level with the Forum part of Don't Eat the Mushroom).
Also, if you need any tileset help, gimme a shout. I'm always happy to lend a hand.
"background tilesets..."X) I decided I'll make my own cloud tileset. But I have another problem.
not exactly an oximoron, but...
just convert the music to a lower bitrate and be done."background tilesets..."X) I decided I'll make my own cloud tileset. But I have another problem.

The music I'm currently using is HUUUUGE in filesize, so I need a lot of really good music I could use in this level. Just post some and I'll see if I'll put it in TMG.
...I suppose I could...Alright, I'll do that. And I should also be getting more music. X) But I know where to get it.just convert the music to a lower bitrate and be done."background tilesets..."X) I decided I'll make my own cloud tileset. But I have another problem.

EDIT:I've come to the conclusion that Spheric Lounge's music (that's where I got the music) is too quiet. I'm gonna go on Newgrounds and ask people if I could use their music in this level.
EDIT2: Okay, all of the good songs on Newgrounds are too long and will naturally have large filesizes. :( So, starting now, post any music you made that you'd like to see in TMG!
Yes, that is what I mean by "too quiet," but even making it louder would...I don't know how to explain it, but...I don't know!

If by "quiet" you mean literally too quiet, it's possible to amplify any music.
Any songs that are too long could very easily be edited down and/or changed to a lower bitrate. (You might need the musician's specific permission to edit it. I'm not sure if an edit counts as a derivative work. Probably not.)
Amplifying/editing/bitrate changing can all be done with Audacity (http://audacity.sourceforge.net/).
Hum. I just looked at some of that music, and the three tracks I looked at were actually louder than the default KS music (on average).Really? o.0 Maybe it's just me. *shrugs* (Also, Under the Ice is one of the default KS songs. :O) Well, I'll download more ('cause I need more; I only have 8 songs. D:) and decrease the bitrate.
Also, Under the Ice is one of the default KS songs. :O
...Oh, well...Anyone know a site with good music? That I can legally use in this level (obviously)?
...You need to ask Paula if you could use her "Helpful Mod" userbar. :P Seriously, thanks. Though I guess I coulda got off my lazy butt and done it myself. :oops:Also, Under the Ice is one of the default KS songs. :O
No it isn't. It contains a four-note figure that is very similar to a figure occurring in one of the KS tracks, but the track itself is not in KS. (You can see all five of the musicians who did work for the game in KS's credits section.)...Oh, well...Anyone know a site with good music? That I can legally use in this level (obviously)?
A quick Googling comes up with (http://www.joshwoodward.com/music/) several (http://www.sectionz.com/home.asp) sites (http://www.jamendo.com/en/) that have Creative Commons-licensed music, then the Creative Commons site itself has a search thing (http://search.creativecommons.org/) that lets you find legally usable music. (Be sure to check the relevant license information, though, before using any music, as there might be a few situations where the license would prohibit this sort of use.)
So, starting now, post any music you made that you'd like to see in TMG!
Yeah, I guess. Post away.So, starting now, post any music you made that you'd like to see in TMG!
Does this request still stand? I might have something for you. :)
Please! I'm desperate! If I don't have any ideas by 8:00 (Pacific Standard Time) today, I'm abandoning all 200 screens of it.
@ JC Grim: I guess. :/
And there's a LOT more than 21 screens! X)I forgot the 3. X)
Another idea - you could let her watch TV and suddenly get zapped into the show she is watchingTRON! A TRON tileset wouldn't be too much work at all...
TRON! A TRON tileset wouldn't be too much work at all...I must admit I don't know that one - maybe it's an English-speaking countries-only (or -mainly) thing... But that doesn't matter! :D
I must admit I don't know that one - maybe it's an English-speaking countries-only (or -mainly) thing... But that doesn't matter! :DWell, being zapped into the TV reminded me of TRON - a film where a hacker gets sucked into a computer. Not really the same...
Well, being zapped into the TV reminded me of TRON - a film where a hacker gets sucked into a computer. Not really the same...Okay :) I only know Freakazoid, who basically does the same ;)
Don't give up!! Here, I made a gradient just for you:What a sweet idea! It inspired me to start with the piano gradient, if you're interested, of course. In my opinion, it has turned out a little too plain, and it's only the piano keyboard because somehow I don't really feel up to drawing the rest of it... Maybe someone else feels he/she can manage it... :oops: Hope I could help at least a little... :)
I may be able to help - I'm a dab hand at garageband. What sort of music are you looking for?
why would you abandon the whole project just because you ran out of ideas? that makes no sense.It was sort of a dirty trick on my part. X) It was to see if anyone posted. If they did, then that means they care about the level. If nobody did, then that meant nobody cared about it. See, I wanted to make sure people wanted to play it before I send it out. But I was out of ideas. And I did add a small canyon part that's part of Cydonia.
still needs a snowy area X)
And I did add a small canyon part that's part of Cydonia.
Cha-ching. ;)It's only about 5 screens or so. :/ And I guess I should update the banner for the last time.
It was sort of a dirty trick on my part. X) It was to see if anyone posted.A filthy trick!
That was a terrible trick. Unfortunately, it sounds exactly like something I would do.I don't think so. Earthbound did something like that with Doden Vantar, didn't he?
And is it against the rules to point out that your PT says that this is released?

EDIT: Alright, Feline's not posting, so I'm going to get more songs by myself.
Eh, I've already downloaded 7 of the 21 songs I'm using. It's from Spheric Lounge, which says you can use them in free games. :)That was a terrible trick. Unfortunately, it sounds exactly like something I would do.I don't think so. Earthbound did something like that with Doden Vantar, didn't he?

GEH! Sorreeee! I'm afraid I can't play your level at the moment because I'm not at home, so if you really want the songs that urgently I can't do them.
Yay. Where is it?Not here. This is the Preview forum. It's in the KS Level Release forum, but there's no link as of right now, because Mediafire's taking it's time uploading it. <_<
