Envious of Extravagance in Errors

Once upon a time, a young girl, a collect- oh, sorry. I'll save that for later. For now gaze upon this very interesting screenshot:




The level's going to contain a lot of firsts for me, and unlike pretty much every other level I've ever started (a lot), I have a plan. A big plan. And it's been planned for a long time now.

Here's a breakdown of what I'm trying to work with here:

- Will use KS+ to the fullest extent.
- Contain (as per my usual) mostly if not all my own tilesets and gradients.
- Intention to release most assets for community use after completion.
- Has a story. A good story.
- Medium to longer length.
- "Looks decent and plays decent" goal. (or better, hopefully)
- Actual sound/non-default stuff.
- Non-confusing level design, but plenty of places to explore.

I'm working on the basis that if there's something to improve upon in my level making, it'll be in this level.

This is already sounding great :^^:

It seems like the release of KS+ v0.9 really got people inspired.

As much as I liked the simplicity of the tileset I made...



Also, I might retract my statement about using only my own stuff- there's some very good tilesets that haven't been used a lot that I want to work with. Plus, it'll speed up designing the level for some areas.

Technically speaking the sky isn't plain, but I think it's lacking contrast. I think I'll work on that. As for clouds or something, I'd like to, but I fail at making clouds look nice.

I just didn't see any kind of gradation and thought it would look quite a bit more beautiful with it.  Doesn't have to be clouds, just a value or color shift.

I decided to modify it anyway- it was fine before, but it just wasn't sticking out enough. This version should add some 'pop' to it, I hope.

Cool.  I do like that better.  Now it is more of a misty sky which works well.
