I'm making another weird environmental level for KS. All custom graphics, all custom music. I hope to release it sometime during the summer. Here's a screenshot!

thats so cute! :D

Thank you :)

Yay for minimalistic monochromatic goodness! :D
Looks interesting. Can't wait to try it.
-
I love the graphical style.
-
Thanks for the encouragement! I'm still unsure if I want the entire world to be the way it is on the screenshot, but anyway, that's what is getting done right now.
-
I have to say it has potential, but there is not enough here for me to go gaga... yet.

Well, so far I've continued working on the black and white tileset and made a few music tracks. I think the level is going to have at least two different areas, and I want to make it particularly silly in a way never before seen in KS levels! (Or so I think, anyway.)
-
I'm looking forward to this. I hope you finish it. 8) <3

Looks like it would go well with 8-bit music.

Well, the music isn't classic 8-bit (I thought the rough sound would clash with the more polished visuals), but somewhat inspired by classic 8-bit stuff.
-
Just reporting that some progress has been made, although I have little time for KS right now and it's scorching hot here (35-40 degrees Celsius >() anyway, can't do much work. Here's a screenshot of the the same area posted before in its current state. I'd welcome opinions as to whether the background is believable - I suck at drawing and may have screwed up in some basic way :crazy: I'm thinking of maybe moving the foreground waterfall to the left...
-
Yeah, the waterfall is dead center, which doesn't quite look right.
I don't see a thing wrong with the drawing. It is a great combination of playful and mechanical.

Thanks! I actually didn't notice the waterfall was dead center :oops:, I only noticed the background one kind of flowed into it and it didn't look good... I'll move it somewhere.
-
Generally speaking, I like the background. But, yeah, move the waterfall a bit. :-)

You know what could be cool? Making water and waterfall COs to fit this style. 'Cause seeing the water like that in a world like this is...weird. :/
For inspiration and ideas, try playing Hero Core (in the OFG board).

Yeah, I thought about that but grew to like the current look of the world too much :crazy: I seem to specialize in weird (http://nifflas.lpchip.nl/index.php?topic=1942.0) levels (http://nifflas.lpchip.nl/index.php?topic=2716.0) anyway, so eh. Besides, I'm having a very hard time drawing stuff, and COs of something as difficult as water would take me forever and half to finish.
I've tried Hero Core before and couldn't get into it precisely because of the graphical style (not that I don't like 2-bit graphics; it was this particular game's design).
-
Well, in case anyone is interested, not much progress here. We've had a horrible summer with +40C temperatures and smoke from wildfires covering the entire city, so I haven't had a chance to work on this further. Not only that, but I'm starting to think I need to make COs for this to look the way I want it to look, and like I said, I'm terrible at drawing... So probably I will only continue working on this after I finish Complacency (http://nifflas.lpchip.nl/index.php?topic=3799.0).
-
Just posting to say that this is still under development, as is Complacency, but I will probably release another level before those two are finished.
-
Another progress report in case anyone cares (anyone? anyone? Bueller?..): I've been working on tiles for the area that can be glimpsed in the screens already posted. Several screens of a different area are completed, and another area is worked out, but is currently in tileset development stage. Can't give a release date yet, sorry, but I think Concealment (http://nifflas.lpchip.nl/index.php?topic=4287.0) will come out first in any case.

Aw, your last three posts look so lonely. Well, I have a comment!
Another promising level from yohji. You are quite prolific, and your levels are all very unique and entertaining. Good luck on this one. I'm liking the minimalist style.

Thank you very much! This and the other comment you left at the Concealment topic are very encouraging for me :)

dead?

Not dead, but on hiatus. RL is very busy at the moment, no time for knytting at all. :(
