Here you can see my levels in progress!

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:

Cozy - Phase 3
This will be a diamond hunt with a semi-realistic tone and some puzzling mechanics.

Multiplayer levels in progress:

Layered - Phase 4
This level is relatively small, but varied in its gameplay. It contains many elements of verticality.

Territory - Phase 4
Essentially, this level is Diamond Territory under a multiplayer filter.

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) ^

Here are two pics of level idea #2:







There's a LOT more to do but I am now at phase 3. This is a very early demo that you're seeing and I'm trying to be very secretive. There will be a lot more scenery and the level will be a lot longer. - Buzzmusic100

My computer's in the shop so I won't have any progress on the .map file for a few days or more. But when it gets back, it'll probably not be too long until I'm at phase #4 for the level. - Buzzmusic100

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.

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



Since I am so close to completion on level idea 3, I will be accepting testers! If you would like to volunteer to test it, please leave a reply and I'll PM the level to you (when I finish it up of course)! - Buzzmusic100

Interesting. Speed levels are probably the hardest type to pull off, but the reward is worth it!

Thank you all!

Here's another picture of the speed level.







Also, I'll probably finish City Exploration today. Stay tuned.

I'm finally getting more progress on the latest level! Here's another picture. I still have some work to do, but it should be released in like a week or so. - Buzzmusic100
