Not sure how many people care, but I have started working on a Ghostbusters level. It takes place aboard the Space Ecto 1. After discovering alien existence, the world also discovered that even aliens like to cause trouble in the afterlife. So the Ghostbusters decided to expand the business to the far reaches of the galaxies helping various planets with their ghost troubles. As of now, you start as a new recruit and spend some time exploring the ship and taking part in some Space Ghostbusting training. I am hoping to create a few levels off of this idea. The first level will be on the ship, but then something happens and you escape to a planet to uncover information on what happened during the next couple levels. I am hoping that this will be the best looking level I have ever created. I am taking a new approach to working on this level and I think it is working quite nicely. Well, as I mentioned, I am not sure how many of you are interested of if you have any ideas for me to possibly use, but I will keep you guys updated. Thanks for taking the time to read this post.

Just as a stylistic/aesthetic note, since drastic change in location would probably imply 'updating' the ghostbusters image a bit for the level - I thought I'd post this here in case it would help on how the ghostbusters imagery could be evolved to fit a more 'futuristic' theme.

Thanks...that was cool. Ya, the initial ship you fly in on to board the main ship has a similar look that the Ecto-1 has, I will have to try to upload a pic later. And I am trying to make a cooler looking containment unit.

You know, this was Dan Akroyds initial idea for the ghostbusters...in space. They scrapped that idea since it was too far out there. Space and Ghosts, it didn't make any sence to the director/producers. But as a level, this sounds really interesting!!

Wow Zwollie, thanks for the fun fact! Ya, I am hoping it works out as well as it sounds. It looks pretty good so far, but I have not done much yet.

Space and Ghosts, it didn't make any sence to the director/producers. To be fair, it is a natural contradiction of themes - a combination of supernatural/mythological fiction and natural/science fiction. Alot of audiences would probably reject it as an uneasy mix unless the 'ghosts' were given a psuedoscience-babble-explanation. Then again ... *Star Wars. (*Before the force became 'a field generated by metachlorians in your blood'*) Still, it is an uncomfortable mix. However, if you're going for comedy - that's kind of a benefit. It makes me think of the Futurama joke "Scientists today have discovered Magic!" So, if you're going for charm and humor ... don't given them a scientific explanation in this level.

Not sure of a release date quite yet, I should have a better idea of release by the nd of the weekend. I might release the first level before the 2nd level is complete, but we will see.
