Marooned! *name pending*

Archive: 5 posts


'ello fellow sackpeoples! I know I rarely (and I mean rarely) post my creations, I create levels very slow. This project has been with me for 3 months (omg!) or so, but I'm proud of my work so far.

Stranded in a deserted island, you are forced to scavenge your own food, find firewood, and escape this lush, but deadly paradise. Your true test of survival begins here.

It's basically a free-roam type level (some-what), where-in you must keep your hunger stable, if you don't eat regularly you will die of hunger. But don't worry, food are scattered around the island so it won't be impossible. This level would revolve around 3 days.

Day 1 (100% done.): First day in the island, you must find firewood, and after stock up on food so you won't get hungry, pretty much basic survival skills.

~~~~

Day 2 (Still in progress, about 70% done.): Adventure time! After stocking up on food, you try to find a way to get off this island. You head to ancient ruins where you find a destroyed campsite and corpses who were not as lucky as you were with a flare gun and a radio intact. You immediately call the nearest radio station and the signal reaches! Your rescue will arrive tomorrow, so you'll have to fend off by yourself until then.

~~~~

Day 3 (not even started!): Escape time. I would need help on this particular section.

Y'see, I don't really know how to end it. This will obviously be the hardest part, as you have to run to the rescue vehicle (which, I still don't know what is.) but there will be a challenge. What it is, I don't know what.

Should it be angry natives of the island chasing you around?
Or.. angry animals?
Maybe even some sort of deadly smoke that chases you?
I don't really know, so maybe you guys can flex your creative muscles and help me out here!

Okay, you've seen me blabber around, but I didn't go here empty handed. Here are a few pictures to satisfy your picture-needs. (Sorry, it's really dark, but it looks a lot better in game!)

Your campsite, the bar below is your health bar. If it reaches the one to the right, it's over!

My favorite part, the waterfall!

Are there other people out there? Also, cutting wood for firewood!

Froggies!

What mystery lies beneath the monumental landmark of the island?

I managed to get a fire going!


Anyone can suggest a better counter-thingie, I'm not sure how to end it. The thermo is 2.5/4 full, so I can still fit a buncha stuff in it, so don't feel limited! Also, it would be lovely if someone can help me think of a better name. I named it Marooned! because I think it's original, and if I named it Stranded or something like that it would be drowned by other levels.

Also, if you guys want to participate in a few rounds of beta testing just let me know

I would appreciate the feedback greatly, and would love to see your suggestions to help my little big creator's block! again, thanks in advance!

Hm... maybe the rescue vehicle breaks down when trying to leave once you reach it. You and the crew have to endure one more night while finding supplies to fix the vehicle.

How's that sound?

Love the level's idea, by the way.

That seems like a pretty good idea. I tried to think of something better, but I kept thinking of zombies.

Sounds like a sweet level, with a great concept!

After looking at a Thesaurus, a good name might be 'High and Dry' or some variation of that.

Also for an ending I have several ideas;

Maybe you anger the islands Gods, and they start an earthquake which makes things fall over and collapse, or havbe them make a volcano spew lava, and you have to escape that.

You could also have a bad ending were the character is trying to make it to the boat, but when he gets on it, it explodes, and you die.

Thanks for the feedback guys, really appreciate it!

@Xenifus
I don't think I'll be able to cram another day. I'm running out of thermo, sadly. But maybe that could be for a sequel! (possibly)

@Cog
Those aren't bad ideas, I especially like the angering the Island Gods, maybe you accidentally mess up their ruins somehow and they unleash their wrath on you?

Okay, I need help again. I am in need of a good boat-maker. I'm horrible at creating vehicles, and if any of you guys are able to make one, I'll include you in the credits. It doesn't really need to be functional, just something big enough to include the scoreboard.

Again, thanks everyone! You've been a great help, really.
