[Challenge][Very Hard] Dark Sea 2

This is good news.

im hoping this doesn't get scrapped. The first dark sea was good so don't quit on the second if that is okay with you.

Yay, great news!

I ain't plannin' on it. I've been busy as a beaver game projects but I've found that working on Dark Sea 2 was much more enjoyable after all that time I spent away from it.

BIG BUMP

I know I'm dragging this thread as if I were to create a zombie from a rotten corpse, but it didn't feel right to post level progress in the Beta thread. But anyhoo, I have been working on this, and have more or less approached a half-way point. Just wanted to share a few screenshots for those interested.

 
Anyways, i am hoping you put...

I liked the original dark sea and tested the demo. It had a bit more challenge.
If you need a beta tester, ill beta test...

But as far as beta testing I currently don't need anyone else yet, but in the future I may seek it.

This level continues to look top notch. I thought the beta was as far as you planned to take this level, so these new developments are a nice surprise.

I thought it would be too, but I just missed working on it after another hiatus and now I've dug myself in so deep it'd be criminal to stop now.

YES!!!

(Codec goes on: Hey boss, he isn't going to cancel it after all)

About two-thirds done with the level, and I've decided to make custom music for it too! It's ending up being exceptionally longer than I planned, for an experienced player it'll probably take over an hour to complete.

i guess i am in for a good time when playing this level...
An hour to beat it regularly or an hour to beat it reguarly and secretly...

To beat it regularly. Any secret-finding should take longer.

Man this level is long, but it's about 85% done now!

Here's a final set of preview shots.

Hello all!

Dark Sea 2 is 95% done. But I think I've gone and made it just a little too hard overall. Unfortunately, I didn't really want to call this a Lunatic level due to the limited appeal of such things, and I've put a lot of effort into this level.

As such, I'm looking for a fairly skilled beta tester who is a good judge of difficulty to play what is basically an almost complete version of this level to get some outside impressions and insight on this. It could take a good few hours to get through this level too, so it's going to take some effort on the beta tester's part.
