Magic Forest series

Archive: 4 posts


I'm considering on making a 3 part level series centered around a forest and the portal that brings you there. I have a few notes for a storyline but they're less than impressive. The only creatures that I could think of so far were traditional fairies to serve as an introduction to the area and something of a guide. I have massive creator's block for the level design and a decent story. If anyone could give me some ideas i'd greatly appreciate. Maybe I shouldn't try so hard though seeing as my level would swept under shark, bomb, and zombie survivals.2010-02-21 05:40:00

If you post the level, people will probably play it.
I'm confused as to how you have a 3 part level series in mind when you can't think of a story/level design. You should have some ideas if you plan on making it multiple parts?
As for creatures, there are a ton of things you could put in there. There's things like centaurs, fauns, elves, minotaurs, spiders, wolves, monkeys, rodents, toads, etc. It would be cool if you made your own creatures, though, because those are all used very often. Perhaps something that's symbiotic with the environment?
As for level design, you should have something to do with the environment. Jumping through treetops, going inside of giant trees, etc. And include water if you can.

The three part story was something I had planned since Candyland Adventure. I have written down a few storylines down but as i've said before, not very impressive. I do plan on making my own creatures and water is something I want to throw in but it won't be used until level 2.2010-02-21 19:42:00

So you need a storyline for a Magic Forest Series. Using the excellent creature ideas JellyWeasel gave you above (centaurs, fauns, elves, minotaurs, spiders, wolves, monkeys, rodents, toads), you could base your level off of these different creatures placed at different points along the path to the scoreboard.

The level could start off as you suggest, a magic portal that could be surrounded by something mysterious, like an ancient minotaur who is tasked with guarding the portal for 1000 years to ensure the evil "Someone or something you dream up" does not enter the realm of "Some cool name you think of for a Magic Forest", or the forest could be destroyed/changed forever. He tells the player he has been in search of "The One" who is to take over watching the portal, but "The One" has gone missing, and he asks the player to find "The One" and bring him to "Some Inner Sanctum, a place deep in the magic forest, which is hidden from human/sacky eyes". To find this place, the player must venture through all types of trials, conquests and puzzles, and acquire knowledge from the other creatures in the forest.

To make this 3 parts, the first level could end at the edge of a cliff (jump off and ending on a scoreboard that is out of view). The second level could end at the edge of a lake/pool of water. And the third level could end at the Inner Sanctum.

Hope this helps with the block.
