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:
DestroyedHere's a song type I plan to include:
The Rose WindowAnd here's a spoiler image of the first screen. It's not done yet, but it's a start.
Juni's shelter, constructed out of debris from the city, plus her trusty generator.

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.
