Title: [Challenge/Maze] [Normal] Gustav`s son
Post by: Polana on November 18, 2012, 16:36:17
Hello everyone !
After my first level, I decided to make something more coherent and challenging. I  always liked the way, how is level Gustav`s daughter built, and I want to make something similar. I hope you will not see name of my humble level being  too offensive.
I am going to make some custom tilesets, so most of the graphics will be original.
Here are first screensots:

I like your second screen shot.

The way Gustav's Daughter ended I always expected a sequel. I considered making one myself until I discovered that Gustav is a real person. You should be careful not to portray him in a negative way.

I enjoyed Many Islands so I look forward to this.

Really ? Who is it (if it's not a secret) ?
He will not be anybody bad or stupid in my level, just somebody, who forget spare key of his cellar at his friends house.
Unfortunately, friend's house is far away (and there are more obstacles on the way), so when his son argues with his daughter, locks himself in cellar with full box of sweets and does not want to go out, he must ask Juni to visit his friend and bring the keys.
I still can change name of the character (I like the storyline).  :)

First screenshot is beautiful. I like city's screens.  :D

I can't wait to see the whole level.

I don't know him myself. He's in the credits for WaDF, "Moon Level Design - Gustav Nygård." I assume the character in Gustav's Daughter is named after him. I can't speak for him, but your storyline doesn't sound offensive to me.

Many Islands was a superb first level. This ought to be something to look forward to! both screenshots look pretty great, though the first is perhaps a bit crowded.

Is that a green Cave & Machine tileset?

This tileset is amazing!  :^^:. It's yours? Will it be for public-use?
Title: Re: [Challenge/Maze] [Normal] Gustav`s son
Post by: Polana on January 15, 2013, 23:12:50
@StraightFlame:
No, it is brand new tileset, which should look like it.
@ixMarcel:
It is mine and will be released to public together with the level. I would be glad to see it in anyone other's good level (and yours are good, IMHO).

I realized that my level preview is heading down pretty quickly. So I am attaching new screenshot.

That looks...fantastic. It's an art style of it's own, but it reminds me of a GBA game, or even Knytt in some ways. I like it, and am jealous. ;)

Looking forward to more!

You're too kind... :oops:

Those screens are stunning! That second one has a really great simple prettiness.

Have you considered using COs to put the rails on the bridges in front of Juni and the other figures?

Methinks this is going to be something very special.

There will be some CO clouds in the sky city, because I need Juni to fly throughout them. I am considering some trees moving in wind in the last area, but bridge rails ? I'll try it, it might look better.

This looks brilliant! Really looking forward to it!

This level is almost done. Only things to do are cutscenes and eye area, so this will be released soon.
Thanks to everybody, who is looking forward to it.

I like both of the latest screens, but the first one promises a gripping plot. I'm looking forward to this!

Thank you.
Well, it is in level releases now.
