Mine should definitely be visually interesting, I just hope it's also finished :/Zipper wrote:y'all better have some visually interesting levels
99% for us, we have mostly cleanup and testing.MosaicMario wrote:i'm like 98% done
i can guarantee you'll see some visually interesting levelsZipper wrote:y'all better have some visually interesting levels
I did have to recolour an entire tileset myself (That took two f*cking hours btw I'm not exactly good at Paint.net), but it's really just a matter of picking a theme and choosing custom graphics and music accordingly. Keeping it consistent is a test in self-limitation and creativity.Doesntpostverymuch wrote:i tried but i'm bad at custom graphicsYoshi678 wrote:
Well, mine might not be the most striking or original, but I have put a lot of care into the scenery, colour palette and enemies to make a cohesive and consistent theme.
Have you tried using global painting and/or the tileset compiler? it would only take 10 minutes if even that in that caseYoshi678 wrote:I did have to recolour an entire tileset myself (That took two f*cking hours btw I'm not exactly good at Paint.net), but it's really just a matter of picking a theme and choosing custom graphics and music accordingly.

Well, here's how I did it: I loaded the tileset's individual pieces into Paint.net and started using the brush tool to slowly paint over the bits that needed to be recoloured. Then after about 10 blocks and 10 BGOs I learned I could actually get the fill tool to work as I wanted it to by disabling anti-aliasing. From there I just used to fill tool on each individual bit of the tileset until I was done. What matters is that it's done now.MosaicMario wrote:Have you tried using global painting and/or the tileset compiler? it would only take 10 minutes if even that in that caseYoshi678 wrote: I did have to recolour an entire tileset myself (That took two f*cking hours btw I'm not exactly good at Paint.net), but it's really just a matter of picking a theme and choosing custom graphics and music accordingly.

And I probably won't be able to get my level in time. Guess we will have to wait next contest.
Very far off. And it appears that Jupi has not even started his level.MECHDRAGON777 wrote:How close are you two?Electriking wrote:3 Days left, good luckJupiHornet wrote:

Be careful with switch blocks lad. There's a difference between fun level gimmick and padding out a level's length.Mr Briney wrote:My level can be played in 2 minutes so I'll add some switch blocks.
I think this is what you call "artificial lengthening"Mr Briney wrote:My level can be played in 2 minutes so I'll add some switch blocks.
