Nice. What's with the water though?

Ew ew ew jpg. D:

Aside from that, cool!

This looks suh-weeeet!

CO?

CO?

That's what I was thinking. It looks weird moving all in sync.

Hey everone.

Believe it or not I'm still working on this level. I've had lots of uni work mounting up though, it's been difficult to get time in on this.

What I'm saying is, I'd love to have someone to collaborate with on this level. I have plenty of ideas for tilesets and things, I just need to execute them.  So, perhaps, to start of with, we could share some screen designs or whatever? I don't know. Hit me up with the PM button, anyway.

Love the screenshots, especially the aquacavern. I don't know why I overlooked this thread so far! I hope you find someone to work with, because I think I really want to play this. :-)

Hello, all and sundry. Remember this? Well, unfortunately, partially due to a computer crash, and partially due to me being a berk and not backing it up, it's gone. I'd had problems getting it done before, mostly just not having the time to get things done. And after this, I feel like I've lost the impetus to recreate every single bit of my work.

However, I am pressing on as best I can! If I require help I'll give a shout out in the topic.

With regards to a collaborative level, I /do/ have some ideas that I wouldn't be able to wrangle into a level by myself - an "Environmental Puzzle" I'll think about it, though, and post a topic anyway. (I'm torn between doing that for KS or Saira).

Oh no. :-(

This is making me so very sad. I *loved* the look of that level, from the screenshots I'd seen. You had such a beautiful look and atmosphere there.

I can't contribute to a collaborative effort, as I'm already more than busy with my own mammoth project, Falling Water - and also, I'm no good at tileset making. But IMO it will be hard/impossible to replace your work with somebody else's, anyway. You have your own style and vision, and I'd like to see *that*. :-(

This is a tragic loss.

This is heartbreaking  I wasn't around to comment on the older topic, but I've just looked at the screenshots... man. I wish I could help but I can't really make tilesets 

I think this shows which way I've decided to go!

Thanks so much for the comments. ^^

Mods, feel free to merge this topic with the other one, or whatever you like.

Assuming I didn't completely miss the point or something (what's up with the strikeout tags?), I'll make some stuff, because the idea of a collaborative project will all-original content really appeals to me.

I will try to help you too. Too bad I am currently totally out of ideas for tilesets.

Nice screenshot... Recreating a lost project is a painful thing to do, from experience, so I'd just start again using the lost ideas as inspiration rather than trying to re-build. Nice looking screenshot, though how about some custom water? I can explain how you make it animate like proper water if you're new to CO's (it's not *that* complicated, but SO worth it).

And what's this strange cipher in the top right?

Thanks, Sendy. I completely agree. I spent a few hours recreating that tileset (because I really do like it) and that was enough of a horror. I'll be recreating ideas from my sketches rather than any of the screenshots I've posted up.

I'll add some more stuff about the level in this topic for the moment. The water was something I wasn't too worried about - I'm more interested in using my time creating critters and other custom objects, after all, water is pretty much water. Elixir of life, and all that, sure. :p But you can't really tell it apart even if I did make some myself.

I'm also planning on creating lighting maps for some areas, the pictured cave being one of them. Something to give these "discoveries" a little more interest.

Oh, and the cipher? Well. It's a human language, I'll start you off with that. :p
