[Challenge] Eye of the storm
« on: March 14, 2009, 19:23:37 »
Joony's village is ravaged by the Storm Lord! Can she even make it to his lair, much less confront the Storm Lord Himself? This is the first level in a trilogy I will be making. there will be several bosses per level, (about 3) and the story shall continue to unfold! I also plan to make custom objects! Here are some screenies. Hope you enjoy!

Don't worry, It'll be more than just spikes and lazars  X-P

No they don't. Not unless it's going to be an environmental level. Atleast the second and third screens look fine.

Just 'cause it's a challenge level doesn't mean it can't look nice. :/ The first level I ever made (that was eventually abandoned) was like this. I remember Goog saying thst it was a good challenge, but there was no "eye candy" to look at.

Yeah, I'm...not sure how to say this delicately, but the graphics look like utter crap.  It's obvious no attention was given to the looks of the level at all.

There are a few people here who don't care about how levels look, but the vast majority of us play Knytt not only because it's challenging but because it's beautiful.  Therefore, I'd suggest actually putting in some effort and decorating the screens - even if it does take 50 times longer than it does to just slap down some blocks and obstacles, it will make your level 50 times better! :)

Personally, I'm only going to play a level as bland as this if it's a trickjump, which it's obviously not.

Scenery for the epic win.
grao!

Don't worry, That's just my demented way of making levels. I make the basic level layout first and then make it look nice. There will be better graphics later, I promise.

Well, due to all the constructive criticism (some of which could only loosely be called constructive :moody:) I have decided to give this level a complete makeover, with ten times better graphics.
More screenies coming soon.

EDIT: Here they are!
