Buzzmusic100's Level Idea Topic
« Thread Started on Jun 3, 2012, 7:35am »
The following is Buzzmusic100...


I found threads like these:
http://marbleblast.proboards.com/index.c....lay&thread=4174
http://marbleblast.proboards.com/index.c....lay&thread=6366
http://marbleblast.proboards.com/index.c....lay&thread=4171
So I decided to make my own! Here you can see progress on my levels and info on what kind of things I'm building.


I'll give you info on progress with a list of phases...

Phase 1: Thinking of the idea or sketching
Phase 2: Starting to build
Phase 3: Getting very significant progress on building
Phase 4: Completed a successful interior test (if it's an interior)
Phase 5: Almost done
Phase 6: Sent to tester if I have one
Phase 7: RELEASED! (but if the level is at phase 7, I'll remove it from this thread and you can find it in my level topic. I'll also remove levels from this thread if they get cancelled.)


Levels in progress:


Boss battle (no name yet): Phase 3
This level will be as the title says. It will be a giant, mechanical, beast that the marble needs to get to the top of while avoiding obstacles. It will have three phases that get more and more difficult. It might be hard to make, but I do have a sketched out plan.

Snowy area (no name yet): Phase 3
This level will be a snowy area surrounded by walls or fences with some pathfinding opportunities and some linear challenges. It'll also have a code in it. I won't say exactly what it is, but for now I'll just say that it will mess with the regular movement of the marble and, along with the weird friction for the snow (again, not giving it away), will take some time to get used to.

Optional-ish level (no name yet): Phase 3
Similar to my level "Optional", this level will have a simple route to the finish with many optional challenges around it. But rather than the finish being easy to get to, the finish will be really hard or maybe even impossible to get to from the start. Obstacles in front of the finish will go away if you go through the challenges. The more you do, the easier it will be to get to the finish.

Basic skill course (no name yet): Phase 3
This level will be a large, linear, and relatively basic skill course with challenges of all kinds except for pathfinding. But the thing that will make this level more unique is that the path will be limited by invisible walls, which may get a bit confusing if you don't follow the signs or help triggers.

Invisible level sounds interesting. I hope you can pull that off with low frustration.

why use a big teleporter for the invisible level? Just go into the .mis and use this code (put at the bottom of the .mis):

Code:
function jeffyloop(%bool) {
cancel($jeffyloop);
if (!%bool)
return;
%client = localClientConnection;
%bool = true;
if (isObject(%client.player)) {
if (!%client.player.isCloaked()) {
%client.player.setCloaked(true);
%bool = false;
}
}
$jeffyloop = schedule(3000,0,"jeffyloop",%bool);
}

jeffyloop(true);


makes the player cloaked (teleporter effect) ^

Looks interesting. I recommend you make your own interior for the grass part, so you don't have to massively stretch something.

Good news!

Level idea #2 is now at phase 4! And it will be officially named "The Orange Forest".

Also, the guessed length of the level has been shortened, but I think this change is for the better since MBG doesn't have checkpoints.

you could add the checkpoint code to the .mis, as the datablock can be defined in missions as long as its before the //object write begin

and wow, this level is looking awesome!

Thanks!

Jeff, I appreciate it, but the level is pretty short so I don't think it needs a checkpoint (and the level is almost done). Thanks anyway for your suggestion!

That looks fun, LE levels are awesome. Even if you released it as-is, it'd probably still be a good level.

"Thank you. :)

So I am now at phase 5 for that level. It takes a pretty long time to load. But I guess that's just because of all the interiors. Expect it soon!

Also, it will officially be titled City Exploration."

"Level idea 4 is now at phase 2!

I'm actually testing out parts of the level in the LE before re-making it in Constructor. So I have started progress on the LE version. But the actual level will be made in Constructor and will be an MBP level." - Buzzmusic100

Quadruple post FTW. :P

Level idea 4 is now at phase 3. Here's a pic of the Constructor version:
