Hey Alan,
Thanks for letting me know. I need to see what kind of format the
levels will be in - do you have a template I can play with for that?
You can tell me the specifics over aim (or even just another mail to
the list, but I will need to ask questions of course!)
I'm totally down for making an area with Kent, but if you want me to
make my own little area, I can do that too. I used to build a lot of
areas on one of the muds I played, and I've been thinking about
converting one of them in particular to this game, if it fits the
environment. It was a simple area that had two ascending staircases
parallel to each other, with a logic puzzle and a boss at the top. I
made two because walking out of an area the same way you came in is
quite boring, so you could walk down the other way and get more loot
in the process after beating the big mob.
I know I need to more or less "prove" myself to you guys first, and I
don't want to get in anyone's way in terms of the creation process. I
really loved Kent's megaman levels, so I know he'll be great at this.
I've also seen Eric's website and some of his art works, so I am sure
his graphics for this game will excel as well. I don't need to
mention your skill though Alan :P
Are the files at the state where we can view levels in the engine as
we create them? I know asking for the files is a bit useless because
you're going to be updating them constantly, but having a release to
use for looking at our area would help.
How would you like to approach this, Kent? Also, could you let me
know what screen name you use currently, Eric?
