No time, today, for my planned rambling about transitions, alas.

259. Mostly rebuilt some older screens I didn't like. Now I like them a lot.

Also, it's taking all my willpower to *not* post screenshots of at least three new areas I've started recently. Really. Epic amounts of willpower. MUST. NOT. SPOIL. ENTIRE. LEVEL. ARRGH.

No time today, either, but: combined map screenshot! Behold Falling Water at 270 screens minus one! (I think. It's been a while since I did a proper count, area by area.)

Couple of notes:

The long horizontal line of screens, bottom right, is not part of the level (and not included in the screen count). It's just a series of concept sketches for areas still to be built.

The vertical line of screens in the middle *is* part of the level, but not part of the screen count, because it's just a bit of sky which I put there so as to have an axis around which to orient the level.

Oh, and the City, the part of the level you guys already know? That's in the upper right third of the map. Everything below and to the left of that is new.

That looks very nice.
I very much enjoyed testing the first one, and I hope I will also do so for this one.
I am still tester, I hope.

Btw, how many screens is is gonna get? (estimate?)

Sure!

Many. Manymanymany. Very rough guesstimate: hmm... it's beginning to look like 800 or so. Now that the general outline of the world is almost finished, it's a bit easier to estimate how much is still needed to fill it in.

I'll probably release the second part at around 600 screens (100 of which are the first part), though I may chop it into two releases if I happen to finish one side of the world a bit sooner than the other, as looks likely at the moment. The last part (either the third or the fourth, depending on whether I chop the second part into two) will be smaller again, though probably still bigger than the first part was; maybe around 200 screens; and it will be a separate 'continent', so it will make sense to release it separately.

Thanks.

Well, time for another progress report. I've slowed down a bit due to RL stuff again (job hunting: so much fun. *sigh*) but I've made a few new screens in the last couple of days, and improved some older ones, as well. So, the latest screen count is 275 (I think. Kinda hard to keep track of it...)

Heh, yes, I hope so! (You never know: when I was at 100 screens, I still believed I'd be done at 300...)

Huh. I just discovered a bit of nasty history that I really didn't expect. (Sometimes a screen experiment just looks so *right* that it feels like it always was part of the world... so now I have to find a way to accommodate that screen - and the ones that will develop from it - in my world's history...)

ETA: Err, okay, I think I'm being a bit too mysterious here. Well, basically, I'd meant to put something nice into that nook - maybe a small garden. But that prison just goes really well with the rusty... structure; and the idea of a whole rusty 'cliff' dotted with prisons like that just sparked my imagination. I think the history of the world of Falling Water had some really unpleasant periods...

There may be something just slightly disturbing about how excited I am about building a whole tunnel system full of prison cells.

ETA: Here, have one more screenshot.

New screens are nice, the tunnel full of prison cells is a good idea  :)
