Oh no, that's neither yes nor no. I guess i am gonna do a compromise, in the next days/ few weeks i am gonna show you some new level design which is accompanied by a new track, which i want to edit some more due to some advices i got from @AuroraxPhilic.

I needed a little break and spent time in other things. But i redesigned my space Tileset and now i am satisfied and tiles for Brinstar are totally used up. Next step is building level layouts and start a mockup of the next area, which is set up in a cavelike terrain with fluids all over the place, a dark amd creepy area filled with secrets. I already showed few example pics above.

Stay tuned! =)

Quite happy about it. =)

Yeah i wanted to let it end sometime, and then later i couldn't change it back. Nevertheless, since the last poll didn't have a clear result, i opened up a new one. This time WITHOUT a time limit. Cheers!

[Flower]

I started designing the Space area, whoever wants to play-test the progress till now, may pm me. Curious about your response. Cheers!

Prototyping a Glassy Area.

That liquid needs definitely more work though, it's much too flat yet...
First attempt to do so and it's gettin' bubbly now:

[passarbye]

not bad, keep it up  :^_^:

[Scout1297]

You can't go wrong with bubbles  :razz:

This guy gets it.

In all honesty, I haven't really posted in this topic yet, but I've been keeping an eye on it because this looks really good. Can't wait to see some more NEStroid stuff show up.

Why thank you kind shy guy, people say I have quite the popping personality.  :twisted: (get it, cuz, bubbles and popping them?... i'm going to be going now...)

[Flower]

What's about that fanatic desire for bubbles in this forum?  :lol:

Once you pop, you'll never stop?

And there is also a "King of Bubbles". Great =)

Had a good laugh though!

Thanks for encouragement!!!

Plan for another area, some kind of pyramid/chozo ruin/bricky area. A dangerous place.
First prototype of a structure (for sure still work in progress!), looks familiar eh?  :cool: :

Cheers!

EDIT : I am not yet lucky with this chozo brick, i am guessing what i could improve, do you folks have some idea?... I am still learning and improving pixel skills as you can see.


EDIT2:
CHOZO BRICK V2


EDIT3:
CHOZO BRICK V3


EDIT4:
CHOZO BRICK V4


... as you see, it's iterative work!
Guess I'll leave it like that and carry on.

[Scout1297]

I think you should have V4 and put in a texture more like V1.

[Flower]

I think you should have V4 and put in a texture more like V1.

Do you mean the chozobird from v1 and putting this into the brick from v4? Or the other way round?

[Scout1297]

Other way around

[Flower]

Other way around

v4 bird (which i absolutely like more) and v1 brick. sounds like a (good) plan. Mission briefing accomplished!  :wink: Results follow soon NOW:

CHOZO BRICK V5


EDIT:

CHOZO BRICK V6

EDIT2:

CHOZO BRICK V7

NOW I carry on

Guess there will be a clear result,  gonna close the voting in January.

By the way i composed two more songs, and more are on the way!

You should do like Optomon and just record a video with the music and upload it to YouTube, then you can post it in your thread.

[Flower]

I wanted the users to decide if they want to hear it now or later. I could post mp3 links as well (as there is no finished area that fits to the music). But apart from that  good idea!

Trying out Designs for Stones in a Cave Area

[passarbye]

Those all look great Flower.
Personally, I like the middle-top and lower-right ones the best.

[AuroraxPhilic]

I'm going to be on a hiatus very soon for quite some time, and I won't be around to help with musical advice Flower. It would be in your best interest to record and upload to YouTube or another website. Here's my recommendation: Create all the songs your hack will have, then upload them. Next, take the criticisms of the people to improve and even change your music to something better before release. I urge you to seriously consider this if you want people to enjoy your music; you can think of it as the beta soundtrack.

I like the idea of composing the soundtrack as a whole and then upload it to utube. Sounds like a good plan. Most people here voted for waiting for the new songs till a release and that stresses the usefulness of having a full soundtrack. Cheers!
