Summer vacation just started for me, so I began to work on this level a little bit. Apocalyptic City will have Juni as a lone survivor living in the midst of a destroyed city long abandoned. The level will have little to no text messages, and instead I'll try to convey the story elements of the city, and the disaster that took place, through hand-drawn graphics. There will be a ton of original content, such as custom objects, ambiance, music, sound effects, and tilesets. I plan to work on this for a long time, and I hope to have several distinct sections of the city that will be fun to explore.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Here's a basic idea of what the city will look like: Destroyed

Here's a song type I plan to include: The Rose Window

And here's a spoiler image of the first screen. It's not done yet, but it's a start.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

I'll be working on this for a long time, so any ideas or constructive criticism you guys have will be great for motivating me to finish this!

Important! Demos will be posted on the archive.

Update 1: Demo of nearly finished first screen.
Update 2: New demo. A few more screens (which aren't finished) but you get the idea.
Update 3: New demo on the archives, entitled "Apocalyptic City Alpha 1." A new gradient and a few minor tweaks.

The new forum's levels page is still looking pretty empty, so I'll post this here to fill it up a bit.

The Great Race is the first level I made for Knytt Stories, but I spent a lot of time on it trying to polish and perfect it. The level doesn't have a lot of custom content in it if that's what you're looking for, but I focused on making it a fun platforming challenge with some nice scenery. I posted this on the old forums and received a lot of great feedback on it, but any comments or criticisms are still welcome. Have fun!
