The First Release

NeoPlatDS v0.9


The original post

'ello all!

I'm making a short sweet game, and need some levels designed.
Level design is never an easy task, so I've whittled things down to the lowest common denominator, and made things picture based.

There you go, a level.

The game is aiming for DS. The top and bottom screens are apparent, and there's a little red line at the top of each screen, where there should never be a floor. .. Because having a floor at the top of the screen would be silly!!

Other than that, there's green space to pad out the image a bit, (keeps it at a nice 32x64 resolution image) and then the white bits are "Floor/Wall" tiles.
It's all very very very very very simplistic.

What I need from you guys is a bunch of neat designs.
You probably shouldn't go WAY over the top, so aim for about 60% black, 40% white, at the most, but the game could probably cope with most occurrences.

In a couple of days, I'll nip back, steal everyone's pictures, and cram them all into the engine.

I've not left any room (at all) for adding credits to these, so if you're unhappy about not getting any credit whatsoever, I urge you not to bother.
Only post if you really mean it!

However many you can muster, as quick as you can.
Thanks all.

Game info soon!

Nope, that's the size of the picture.
32 tiles across, 24 tiles down per screen, top line of each removed..
32x23 *2.
That's all the size of it.

Don't worry about the controls, it's intuitive, the PC edition relies on purely random platforms, but .. it doesn't really suit the DS's tile based nature as well as I was hoping, so I'm having to tweak the game's rules a little..
I just need some nice designs.

Plenty of 'em, quick and easy to doodle, hop to it!

Well, I'm not exactly sure if this is how it should be...but if it works then that means we have 5 retro levels xD.
I'm pretty sure they are identifiable (I have one more, but I'm posting this on a school computer at the moment while the final image is on my desktop at home).

=) I now get how it's supposedly going to work. I guess I'll just start making a couple of random levels just to increase the level count (since it seems that nobody is motivated to actually help...or maybe nobody has seen this thread).

Hype Extension : Won't be Tuesday!

I'm currently in "Having a much needed rest" month, and it'll probably take another week or so to finish everything off.
Taking my time, making things slowly.

... Feel free to draw more, in the meantime
