The main idea behind this is to make a series of levels that tell a story. (Perhaps 20 levels per story?)
I got this idea after finishng Marblaxia's Hideout and The House, both of which have a themey feel to them with good scenery and still having good gameplay factor. I feel like this sort of balance isn't really found in many MB levels and hopefully this mini-mod can promote these kinds of levels.
If you remember that brainteaser level project, that was actually intended to be part of a story in Marble Blast Legends.
Here's an example to give you a more descriptive heads-up of what this mini mod will be like.
Story #1: Marblaxia's Revenge
Chapter 1: Land of the Marbles
“Welcome to Marblatius!” (Basically, think of this like a level that shows you around Marblatius.) I’ll leave it up to you on how you want it to look like.
Chapter 2: Fall of Marblatius
Marblaxia's forces attack the homeland of the marble, Marblatius. The marble must rescue all the precious gems of Marblatius. The level ends with the departure of a ship that brought about the last bomb on Marblatius. It is also revealed that Marblaxia has stolen five of the precious gems of Marblatius. (More or less the same interiors as Chapter 1, except that parts of it are destroyed, look burnt, etc.)
Chapter 3: The Pursuit
A Moving Platform level. Pursue the ship that was referred to in Chapter 2 while avoiding debris. Collect the gems as they pass by.
Chapter 4: Lost in Space
Chapter 3 continues but we end up losing Marblaxia’s trail. Meanwhile, our Gem-powered aircraft moving platform runs out of power, and so we must stop on this strange land and collect as much gems as possible. The pursuit, then, continues when all gems are collected and we end up in Marblaxia's secret base.
Chapter 5: Co-Enemy
The marble is detected by Marblaxius on camera, a slave and faithful servant of Marblaxia. The marble's task is to find Marblaxius. He then sends different booby traps to prevent the marble from going into the control room. The level ends with Marblaxius, being impressed by the marble's skills, becoming an ally.
Chapter 6: Nuke Factory
Marblaxius orders the marble to disarm all of Marblaxia's forces' ships and sneak into the weapon factory while avoiding the weapons themselves. The marble must destroy all of the machinery in the weapon factory. This level ends with Marblaxia standing right in front of the last machine to be visited.
Chapter 7: Weather Machine
Marblaxia then uses the last machine, a weather machine, to cast a tornado in his base while he is on his ship flying by it. Marblaxius and the marble are both thrown away and must go into the tornado to be able to find the last machine and destroy it. The level ends with the machine's destruction.
Chapter 8: The Final Showdown
Marblaxia is pissed that he sacrificed his own base and failed to destroy the marble. Marblaxia then goes to the last undestroyed section of the base. The marble chases him down and sees Marblaxia on his throne. The marble must steal the 5 stolen gems that give Marblaxia his power. The level ends with Marblaxia's surrender and Marblaxius's farewell.
Here are some more details...
1. This is a mini-mod that should balance scenery and gameplay.
2. Writers and level makers are welcome.
3. All levels should be playable in MBP
