Sibling Halls (No more openings!)

[Awakenyourmind]

I'd make one myself if I could think of a fun gimmick.

At this point just a level that fits the background would work. I don't have ideas myself, but I know they will come once the GFX mix well.

[Awakenyourmind]

I can't make levels for shit, so I usually pad them with a gimmick.

Are you any good with that background thing? I've never used it before myself.

[Awakenyourmind]

I just need the Iris background to fit with any tileset. Whatever you can do will be fine, I'll find a way to make a gimmick of it. I say whatever you can do, so that you don't have any limits other then the mandatory limits. You could mix it with a set you'd like to see it work with, or just whatever is easiest for you. :)

[Awakenyourmind]

I guess just the background setup into Lunar magic. But if you have to mix it with a set right off that's also fine. The main thing is getting the background onto the latest "Final Level" IPS patch. From there I can mix it with GFX myself. Though you can also mix it with something if you wanted. So really however much you'd like to do! But just the background in a level would be fine, I can then edit the level palette as you normally would to accommodate objects. Though I'm not sure if these backgrounds will also use GFX slots as well which would limit which foreground tilesets I can use?

[Awakenyourmind]

Backgrounds have their own designated MAP16 slots.

I'll get the background ported for you.

That'd be great, I'd like to get started ASAP. I'd like to be alive for the release of this hack, at very least lol Thank you.

[Awakenyourmind]

Ahh no problem, thanks! I sorta like how it looks with the vanilla level.

If I can get this level finished would you do the same for another one? And possibly the 3rd if I finish a second? Again, wont rush, but I'm so used to making huge levels it shouldn't take long!

[Jolpengammler]

I would love to make one of these levels, but:
a: Do I have to assemble the backround thing?
b: how long should it be?
c: how hard should it be?

[limepie20]

a. Someone else can probably do it for you.
b. short and sweet
c. hard but not too hard

[Jolpengammler]

If someone can do the background thing for me, I would like to make the pily level

[Lv27MarkerMMan]

Wait a minute I already took the Pily level. Check my posts in this thread and the submissions thread.

[limepie20]

Oh my god, I'm terrible. Let me fix that, heh.
Jolpengammler, why don't you take Calleoca instead.

[Kerkec]

I would gladly do the Calleoca level, but I would probably have to have someone do the background for me as well, unless it's actually simple enough to just explain. Also I don't actually know anything about this project, like, do these characters have some sort of theme their level should try to include, or what

Also I've never worked on a collaboration before, so I'd need some pointers there too, although I can't imagine that could be that confusing or anything

Basically I'm saying I can try to throw a level together if the process of helping me actually get it to you isn't more trouble than it's worth. I have more than enough free time for this, especially if it's meant to be short

EDIT: Oh, but if Jolpengammler wants to do it since Pily is apparently taken already, uh, first come first serve I guess, so ignore this

[MechanicalPen]

I can see why Calleoca is left, a shapeshifter is hard to design for! I had an idea for her level though;

Her level could just be portions of her world's level, but 'wrong.' Pipes that led to bonuses now lead to spikes. Power up blocks now contain poison mushrooms/enemies.

I've never used Lunar Magic before though, so I am probably not the best person to try and make a boss level...

[Jolpengammler]

Oh, if that is the case, I'll take Calleoca of course haha, don't wanna ruin Lv27MarkerMan here!
edit: huh? so many peoples, well ok, I already have a level, other people have priority
edit2: Now that I saw all these edits, I don't know what to think :s
Just tell me if I should, or if others should, I am ok with everything :)

[limepie20]

Kerkec, all the levels seem to be taken, but you can be on a reserve list of sorts.

Or Schnurmanator's level actually isn't being worked on right now. I plan to pick it up and finish it, but if you'd like to that would be fine.

[Jolpengammler]

So, hooray, I guess? :D
Err now I just need someone for the background thingy...
and calleoca is the shapeshifter, right? oh man

Alright, that's fine, thanks! You can go ahead and finish that one, I'll just stay on that reserve list of sorts. Which I suppose means I should actually check in here more often than once every few months, huh

[Awakenyourmind]

I hope it wont take you guys that long to make these levels. If you're going to be busy you shouldn't request a level. Only if you feel you can complete it! :D

I don't think it will be a problem, but if someone drops out I'd be glad to pick up their level. Any deadline?

[limepie20]

Any deadline?

Too long.

[Awakenyourmind]

Any deadline?

Too long.

I mean for completing the levels.

[Awakenyourmind]

Well guys, my mom is going to kick me out onto the streets because she is garbage and always has been. I've no other people to stay with, but hopefully I can make it back on my feet.

If things change I'll be doing the iris level, but if you guys don't hear back from me I'm probably on the streets.

[Awakenyourmind]

I'm sorry to hear that, bud. You should put real life first and work on getting that sorted out.

Is it ok if I pass your level on? Or do you think you can manage?

Not sure at this point. Lets wait until later tonight just to be sure.

[limepie20]

Hang in there Franky. I hope everything works out.

[Jolpengammler]

I think, Kerkec can have this level.
Not because I am a nice person, more because I f***ing forgot how to make levels.
I will officially quit making SMW stuff.
Maybe someone should just cut out my brain or something. I am too terrible for everything.

[Awakenyourmind]

Thanks Limepie, I just don't know anymore.


But anyway: What type of element would iris represent? I've read the details of the siblings and iris seems to be the most confusing. The others seem kinda straight forward. I seen different iris sprites though so I can't get it down to one image in my brain.


Any specific things I should do for this level? Does it tie into the story more then others?
