[Challenge - Normal] A Foreign Land
« on: May 06, 2009, 03:47:51 »
A Foreign Land
I've decided to start making a level for knytt stories. I have most of the areas mapped and planned. It will be around 200 screens, minus the final boss, in at least 6 or 7 areas. There will be a boss at the end.

Plot: Juni goes to sleep one night and ends up in a strange but beautiful place.  She meets the Queen of Dreams, who wants her to help save the Dream World from the Nightmare King's evil influence.  She has to figure out how to leave the dreams (and nightmares) and defeat the Nightmare King.

Progress: (updated 20090925)
Screens Made more than 133/200 (more than 67%)
Mapped/Planned 200/200
Music 75% (still need boss music, but may have to wait a bit)
Boss 25% (have ideas rough drafted, have to implement)
Current Task: get music for boss, make/change powerup icons (4/5), make next area
Now that school's started, I have a lot less time to work on this. Currently my focus is on beautifying the current areas, instead of making new ones.

Betatesters: 4/5 spots taken, pm me if you would like to betatest!

I will have to make most cutscenes after I finish the rest of the level.

Welcome to the forum.
Could you share some screens perhaps?
Sounds very ambitious for a first.
Good luck  ;)

Update (May 20, 2009)

Juni has been trapped in a dream-world and cannot escape. She must explore the world and find something that will let her escape this world and go back home. She must also find the rest of the plot before...I don't know. The world dies and she is vanished into nothingness, maybe.
It sounds very interesting. Maybe if you don't get out of the dream world in time, you begin to have a nightmare (that can still be escaped, but is a lot harder). Or you could make it a series of dreams that she must get through, and your actions determine how hard the dream or nightmare is?

could get complicated, but i like the idea.  Implementing something like that into the level now.

Just out of plain curiosity, why are you not editing your previous post instead of posting a new post? Anyway, I like the idea, glad that you might try to implement my ideas into it...

Edit: took out the question about greed... didn't mean anything by it, just curiosity.

He's probably bumping. The topic hadn't been posted in for awhile. Athough that many bumps isn't needed.

Check out my tilesets!

Agreed, and he could have just edited his old posts a little, not just his first post, but as he goes along.

Sorry about that, but I at one point added all the information to the main post but forgot to delete them (something else distracted me and I forgot about it).
And making it a hot topic was not an intention. Anyway, it's fixed now.

EDIT: Even without the extra replies it's now a hot topic anyway XD. oh well.
