I've had this idea for a level for a few days now. Basically, I want to start at the top with the player force to choose one of three tubes to jump into. Each of these tubes goes to a different place within the level. Basically, three sub-levels (for lack of a better term) independent of each other, if that makes any sense. The problem is, I don't really know what I want each of these three "sub-levels" to consist of. I'd like them all to be different from each other. I'm really lacking inspiration right now. I made a dinosaur out of boredom yesterday, but had to leave for work shortly after. I'm not thinking of creating any sort of epic level, just something I can work on for the next four or five days. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. If this thread is in the wrong forum, I apologize. I'm new here.

Under water, fire and darkness. Any elements will do nicely. Decorate the top of each tube with the chosen element. Underwater could have sharks and electric eels/jellyfish. Fire should be simple. Just use emitters to do some cool effects. Darkness could be very dimly lit by lights and use gas in some imaginative way. A factory would use conveyor belts and electricity. Lots of platforms with pistons etc. You get the idea.

I haven't played around with the lighting effects very much.

I dont think so. I would just use lots of lights to light the other two or not do darkness and do light or elecricity.

I wish I could think of ideas for myself... I will help you out along the way and beta test for you if you want me to.

If you make a lot of lights and make your entire level pretty dim.... you CAN adjust the brightness of individual lights, thus one area would be brighter then down another tunnel.
