[Psychological/Environmental] A Long Walk
« on: July 16, 2010, 19:53:15 »
Hello all :)

A Long Walk is a level that's been in progress for quite a while.
It follows a young girl on her search for the ghost of her father, and will feature original tilesets by Egomassive, as well as original music from various artists.

A few attached screenies can be found below, and there are a few others throughout the thread.
There is also a short beta in the releases section.

Thanks for reading,
Dj

I have never been able to figure out how to use the background mountains from that tileset. That's amazing.
Lurk more.

Aye, good use of those tilesets! I still have nightmares about the time I used the ocean rocks one.

Oooooooh, *very* nice! Who'd have thought the sea landscape tileset would go so well with the graveyard one! It really does, though - it's a great combination! Looking forward to this.

(Dammit, now everyone's going to think I nabbed the idea for using the background rocks properly from you... ;-) Honestly, folks, I figured it out all on my own! ... Mind you, the general look of my area that uses the sea landscape tileset is quite different, anyway.)

:P
Properly..

Anyway
It's not a graveyard level.. that's just an intro scene :3
Main reason that the graveyard can't be walked through entirely is that it was a 45 minute screen, about an hour including custom objects :/
Most of the level is flash backs, and you find more and more why she's leaving throughout the level.
I dont know how much you will like the format.. but it will be unique :)

Edit:
@Talps:
It's messy work :/

I'm sorry, I have no means of comparison. Is that supposed to be long, or short? Because 30-45 minutes really isn't that rare for a quality screen, in my experience. Then again, I am naturally slow, and perfectionist, so my knytting speed may not be normal.

Ah. Unique... is... always valuable.

(Sorry. Farscape flashback. The word 'unique' always triggers that for me. ;-))

I get everything properly positioned first.. taking about 15-20 minutes a screen.. the scenery is done later. :P
The mountains alone took 30 minutes :/ I feel the same way though, if it's worth it...
Explains why your levels are so nice :)
Anyway..

I'm in need of a graphic designer because my tablet is broken.
I'll edit details into the first post.

Who leaves their windows open on a rainy day? :) Anyway, there's something very rewarding about seeing people use tilesets I make. I think you've made it to work better in dim light than I did. I'll send you the update as soon as possible.

Being that this level is heavily based on music, it is temporarily on hold until I have confirmed that I can use the tracks I have been basing it upon.

I really like that city tileset you used. I like it when people use urban enviroments in their Knytt Stories.
