Need levels

Post by Levellass »

I have been working on my final mod project for Keen 1.It's been going surprisingly fast. However, as you know, I am useless at levels (Ok, they're what I'm the worst at among other things.) So, I am asking if anyone wants to use my tileset to make up some levels. Is anyone interested?

There are a variety of 'themes' in my mod, but at present only two are finished. (Meadow and Forest.) so if you want a different theme it may take a few days for it to get to you. The themes started so far are:

* Meadow
* Forest
* Haunted house
* Castle
* Cave
* Mountain


I need all the levels I can get if anyone's interested. I hope to have this mod done in less than a month, just to finish everything off. Levels do not need to be complete and may be altered slightly. Tileset-wise the following apply:

* There is room for you to add your own tiles (In the empty green squares)
* You may edit tiles present if you think they can be better.
* Currently no sprites are finished, so any yo put in may be altered
* Due to the mod setup, each level has a name in the status box that fits into a 16x64 rectangle. There is also a 16x64 hint box that appears when Keen gets a blue keycard. (If same as level name then nothing will appear to change)

If anyone's interested I can mail them a tileset and tileinfo. Levels are always what takes me the longest and this would be a big help.

Cheers!

Is the mod 'perspective'? If it is, that's a small pain, but I can manage.

Lots of interest, I see? I'll make one if you want me to. (And I have to tell you that I'm very serious about level design and making a level simply fun).

So what theme does everyone want to do? Or should I just roll a die to pick one? (Sorry guys, the way things have been set up, the tileset is in pieces, just so I can slot everything together.)

And no, this mod isn't in perspective, because I suck at that. It does have a palette patch however, and a few other surprises that I want to keep hush hush.

Doesn't matter to me what theme you give me to work with, at least.

I also don't really care which theme, but generally I like nature themes more than technical stuff, so I'd favor meadow or forest, and maybe mountain.

Ok, I've sent some tilesets out. If anyone didn't get theirs, do tell me, since I've had some problems with zip files and gmail.

Here's a screenshot of one of the mountain levels I made. It is of course, very bland.

Damn that looks cool. :eek I would also like to make a level (any theme is fine) if there are any positions left. (I didn't notice this topic until now...)

Edit: Address is keenrush314 somewhere at hotmail dotcom.
