Hey everyone. Started on my newest level and thought I'd share a bit, plus I have a question(s). The premise is.. you start just chilling under a tree. Admiring the view and all that jazz but then you realise it's getting late. Better head back to your castle before it gets dark. But as you head through a small cave on the way home day turns to night and mysterious things begin to happen. This castle your living in hasn't been yours for long, in fact you moved in only last week! Your butler was busy unpacking things in the basement but unknowingly unpacked something that hadn't arrived with your things. It lay hidden away in the basement in a strange box for decades or more. A dusty old thing which upon wiping clean unleashed beasts and ghouls from another dimension. Rather like letting a genie out but this time it was HELL! Like the title says werewolves, vampires and aliens have erupted into your castle and the surrounding area. But that's not all, zombies, ghosts, robots and giant spiders are among the creatures that have emerged and if I can come up with more they will be no doubt waiting in some odd corridor of the castle for you. Keys are needed to access parts of the castle and so on. You find them around the place, after boss battles etc. Parts of castle are not in such good condition creating obstacles and platforming. I'm thinking you got it so cheap becuase there is so many things wrong. Like half the castle you weren't allowed to enter before is still rather castle like with traps still set. I don't know but I'll see when I come to it. Obviously the thermometer will not allow that much in one level so I think it has to be a multi-part story. Perhaps one main boss per level, the first one will be the werewolf. First question! I want to have a sort of symbol in the basement where the alternate dimension was opened. There is lights attached to it and each time you take out a boss one of the lights goes out. It has absolutely nothing to do with religion but right now it's a pentagram. I know I said Hell above but it's not hell so to speak, just as many creatures from science fiction I can get in and make it over the top. Would a pentagram be acceptable? I could tweak it and make it less pentagram like so as not to upset anyone. Second question, looking to make the ultimate bouncy mushroom. Right now it's a piston set to stiff, on/off and hooked up to a sensor switch. This does give a nice bounce but if you die right next to a mushroom the things starts bobbing up and down for a second which looks highly unprofessional and just plain ridiculous! Springs I find have no strength to them, not strong enough to propel the player high like I need. Is there a way of combining a spring and piston? I had a quick attempt but not much happened. Some images so far, still a lot of polishing and creating to do. The basic pentagram is there too. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v239/Almwitch05/APhoto.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v239/Almwitch05/APhoto_1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v239/Almwitch05/APhoto_2.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v239/Almwitch05/APhoto_4.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v239/Almwitch05/APhoto_5.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v239/Almwitch05/APhoto_3.jpg
