So, I've had this idea on my mind for a while. I've always wanted to do a 'pass the level' sort of project with a bunch of fellow Knytters. The idea is, everyone who wants to participate takes a section of a level (about 10x10 or 25x25) and creates their own small world within. One person does this, then passes it to the next participant, then the next and the next until eventually we have a massive, gorgeous level.
The general layout would look something like this:
Mostly underground areas. You can make open areas that seem like outdoors underground, but for organizational purposes, pretty caves, underground cities, volcanoes, subterranean jungles, etc. are what should be going on. Now, on the map there are some terms:
-The Crease: Where the world warps around. There will be a few areas that I will open up at the edges of the map to create a fast lane from one side of the world to the other. They won't be
everywhere, but they will be there.
-The Edge: The 'end'. This area is a flat out "bottom of the world" type zone. Again, this will be something that I add once we're done passing the map. I'm currently working out how I will make that look but I'm thinking something that looks like a graphical glitch...
-Ancient Temple: The ultimate 'goal' of the map. This will be a moss-covered underground temple where a true challenge will be implemented. It will need to be accessed by means of four keys. Here, the player will also find the eye which will aid them in finding said keys.
Like the title says, this is an
environmental map, so anyone who adds to it should make it pretty. Pleasing to the eye. I've seen some great looking levels here on the forums, and I'd like to see something similar in the entries. Things like keys and power-ups will be added once the map gets done being passed around. Contributers should also name each distinct area they create. I will add some CO's to show the names of each area upon entry. Don't know what I'm talking about? Play SecretGlitch's 'Dark Sea 2' and get to the communications tower, then you'll know what I'm talking about. We will pass the level around via Skype, so if you're interested add me on there. My user is x60fourmaster. Each area should have at least two clearly defined entrances, but no more than 4.
Any further questions should be asked on here, and I will answer them.
Sincerely, 60FourMaster
