Title: [Challenge/Exploration] Land of Clear Colors (working title)
Post by: yohji on May 12, 2009, 20:05:07
This is a level I've been working on for a while. I'm aiming at a fairly large world, kind of like a small Gaia. Except that the areas are more fully developed and the world has quite a few dangers, obstacles, challenges and whatnot. There will be custom music (in Robot Garden (http://nifflas.ni2.se/forum/index.php?topic=547.0 (http://nifflas.ni2.se/forum/index.php?topic=547.0)) vein), custom tiles.. and maybe, if I can make them, custom tilesets. I'm quite horrible at pixel art, unfortunately.

So far, two areas are sketched more or less fully. Here are screenshots of both. Although you can't see any of this, there's a giant waterfall, a large and complex cave maze, floating color islands suspended in the air by advanced technology, etc.

Just wanted to share now, since it'll definitely be quite some time before I finish it. If anyone would like to volunteer for beta-testing, I'd love to hear from you (although it'll be some time before the level is ready for beta-testing).

Perhaps..... Juni's clothes.... will be transparent?
 
Oh, wait... it's "Land of Clear Colors", not "Land of Clear Clothes"
:crazy:
j/k

This seems intriguing.
Any estimated release date?

Sorry, wearing transparent clothes is illegal in the Land of Clear Colors! At least in the more civilized parts of it... ;)

This seems intriguing.

Sorry, I've no idea. At least a couple of months, I'd say. I do try to work for at least an hour every day, and will post screenshots now and then.

It has been a while. Unfortunately, I no longer have too much time to devote to KS; hence I won't be able to complete this level the way I originally wanted to. I would still like to make a level, though, so I salvaged the better bits and am currently developing them into a Normal/Challenge type level. It's called "The Catastrophe" and takes place in the dark land of Yyj. I went as far as to create some mythology and general background story for the land in question, so I really hope I'll finish this.

One more screenshot. Because its from an area most people will miss, and yet it's nice.

Unfortunately, I had to cancel the project, I've run into quite a few design problems, and the sheer size of the part I already have finished was too large to implement changes easily.
