MY FIRST FEATURED LEVEL ! 7 - vesuve by pineapple (me)
STORY IN DESCRIPTION
Released on approx December 11th 2014 | GD update at the time : 1.9
Volcano themed level. The name is just the french traduction for the italian volcano (monte Vesuvio in italian)
With still pretty much no basics from the editor it's interesting I could still come up with this.
The wave effect as I said in a previous video comes from a skitten preview of a lv called all aboard. (but technically I guess that this is the first level that uses the "nine circles" effect, but you will understand later down this series of video this isn't the level that popularized it)
Spikes falling is something I reused from a previous level : mountains of gold.
Hm what else to say I also like the fake coins for 1st you let yourself fall after ship, 2nd you let yourself fall in the ufo and 3rd you have to hit a yellow orb before falling to the wave part.
In the description it says use gray because I thought it would help the immersion if particles were gray to simulate ash.
Also remember how I said mountains of gold weren't real ? It's because this level is the 2nd part, after you climbed the mountain you realise it's a volcano. Wild.
I was very satisifed of this level and it also turned out to be my first featured level which I won't lie made me pretty happy.Why vesuve ? Because that's the volcano where that witch from scrooge mc duck wanted to burn his first earned coin. Very fitting for a first featured lv.
Yup. Everything I made made sense to me. I built my own little world in my levels. And I will always be proud of that. And so should you.
Take home messages :
Try to avoid tight timings, avoid blind transitions, the usual
Building without meeting any sort of standard can lead to a unique style
The basics will still help you polishing what you made tho as long as you keep track of them (here I forgot corner pieces when I used them in the previous level, good thing it's not very visible because of the colors)
Ignore non qualified feedback (rates will make people jealous and you will always get hate which you should ignore, but feedback from qualified can help. It's just hard to differentiate both)
Be proud of what you make always
