Title: Forum Kaplooie- Lost Levels
Post by: Bood_War on April 05, 2009, 00:40:52
Jus wondering, but what levels did you anticipate before the old forums crashed, that are gone now? Personally I was looking forward to The Obelsik...

The Obelisk, you mean. (By JerkDouglas.) That level had lots of promise. Also, Resolution by Si, especially because it has two other excellent levels setting it up. And Etherworld III by Noi, which also had two other excellent levels preceding it. (A portion of Etherworld III was released as a beta, but withdrawn after Nifflas voiced his disapproval of the usage of pip's NG tilesets.)

These levels aren't necessarily dead, of course. It's just that anyone who starts a large project is bound to lose interest at some point, at least for a little while. JerkDouglas, Si, and Noi hadn't been particularly active on the old forum.

However, I can think of two instances where a level maker returned to finish a major level; Farik came back and finished Harvest, and Johnny Chthonic came back and (nearly) finished Paradise Last before drifting away again.

It is a shame that some drift away from here and the levels they are working on. I have many times. I gave up on trying to finish any of them.

If I recall correctly, Resolution (Si's third level) never got finished.

I don't recall that Demon Contract was ever officially cancelled.

Personally I think its a real shame 'windows advanture' (deliberate sp, I think) wasn't finished. It was funny, and I really wanted to find out what happened after Windows 2000.

It didn't. I managed to contact Si before the old forum went down; he said he was rather busy, but wanted to finish it...Haven't heard anything else. :/
It's a shame because I wanted to see it finished as well.

The last I heard of Demon Contract, I had spoken with Fredrik Annderson, and he told me that he has just purchased a program called... Well, honestly I can't remember, but it was a program he could use to draw things directly onto the computer. Anyway, he said it would make creating tilesets much easier, and progression would be much faster, but that is the last I heard...

I for one am looking forward to a jolio III or whatever that series was called. We've had a cliffhanger for a while now.

Noi released the first third of Jolio III as a beta, but the level stalled once Nifflas objected to the use of Pip's Night Game tilesets, which are used extensively in the level. If the level comes out, it will have to be after Night Game, or with massively altered graphics.

I was looking forward to a tileset getting finished. It was a dark forest tileset called trollskog or something, and it was going great. There was even going to be a gradient released after the tileset was done. :sad:

I don't understand why people abandon their projects just because the forum went down. They worked so hard, and all they needed to do was make a new account. Why waste all their hard work?
Title: Re: Forum Kaplooie- Lost Levels

The TrollSkog tileset was done by Fredriks Brother, who last posted in the tileset's topic two days after the original post- eight months ago now.

Maybe (hopefully) he abandoned it to work on Demon Contract.
Title: Re: Forum Kaplooie- Lost Levels
Post by: Dandelion on May 24, 2009, 20:06:09
So it got abandoned before the forum crash? Why didn't he release the gradient then? >( The tileset depends on it!
On a side note, is there anything you don't know goog?
