Aquaria shorts

[ladeda]

I noticed that in the Aquaria Modding section, a lot of people were focusing more on trying to make big, hearty expansions with new storylines and characters and so on. With all due respect, this is TOTALLY AWESOME, it seems like it would take a long while before it would be done. I think that instead of doing that, I should create Aquaria "shorts", quick coffee break levels that are admired not for their depth, but their design or innovation. I've had little experience with the editor, but I'm sure I'll be able to post a few shorts by the next week and a half.

A few ideas I'm working on...

1:A kelp-foresty cave with seaweed everywhere, lightly covering up and hiding secret passages or important items.
2:A vertical downwards passage not unlike the one with those projectile firing squids, but with many side passages to make travel/combat more varied.
3:A level in which all the currents go in circles, creating puzzling whirlpools that meander your progress or makes fights more frantic.

Wow that red hurts my eyes.  When I was messing with the energy barriers on my first map I had an idea to do something like what you're talking about. Maybe I'll throw it together during all the other map work I'm doing.

Come join the aquariamods IRC could use a little more talk in there.  It took me a couple days to figure how to get things working in the editor and I'd be more than happy to help you out if you have questions (Alec knows everything though). Good luck with the mod!

I concur with Bear, that red hurts my eyes, please change it, I flinched when seeing that.

Then, I also was working on a pretty short mod, a jumping one, not having made it known or even showed anything from it and it's only half way done AND having short break seeing I can't think of anything nice, which... sucks.

Anyway, if you make small levels, mind the details, they're needed and further good luck.
Here's a link for keys in the editor, and when you got to the homepage you have loads of other stuff, you propably already know the site.

Yay! Make sure than when each one is done you add it to a post in the mods list topic.

I think I'm gonna enjoy this.
