Blue Heaven level pack version 0.5 released

[Tets]

More news pertaining to my level pack, Blue Heaven, hitherto known as Chaos Zone. I've got a single screenshot and an announcement that I'm nearly done with object placement in Burning Cavern. This of course means that I'm dangerously close to the next release, which will also feature a full set of special stages (or at the very least, as many as there are zones right now).

UPDATE:
It's finished, the wad is released and ready to be played by the masses. Just follow this link! http://tets.sepwich.com/blueheaven.htm
The "official" release thread can be found here: http://www.ssntails.sepwich.com/mb/viewtopic.php?t=6391

There have been some changes since my last announcement. As you can see I've decided to go with the "lava-based lighting" plan in Burning Cavern after all. Additionally I'm retracting my statement that Shuffle's exe will be required to play. Burning Cavern should work well enough without flamethrowers. It seemed like a good idea at the time, but I'd prefer this pack to be fully compatible with the standard game, and it would just look bad to have a bunch of unknown thing errors showing up.

Sweet. Hope it gets done soon. We need more custom special stages around here. =P


Personally, I don't really like the lighting... it just seems unnatural somehow. Just an opinion, though, I may just have bad taste.

 

[Shuffle]

The shadows are supposed to go up because the lava is the source of "light".

 

[clairebun]

Yeah, I know. It still just seems unnatural for some reason. <_<;;

Sounds like an insintive to get back to work on my bonus pack.

 

[Tets]

I admit the lighting does look a bit odd in that area. It looks much better when the ceiling is closer. But I'm pleased with how it turned out anyway.

Alrighty! How tough is this zone gonna be? Also, why "blue" heaven? I don't think you should use a color in the name, since I don't see anything thats blue in burning cave zone.

Though "Blue haven" sounds better, I think...

Unless you play as Tails/Knux, or a other non-blue character.

Don't forget all the blue Crawlas.

You do know Burning Cavern isn't going to be the only zone in there, right? =P

For all we know, Blue Heaven could be some later-to-come... awesome stage thing. In the pack.

Maybe. ;)

Also, here's another teaser.

Nice looking Special Stage, I liked the last version of Blue Heaven and I hope this version will be good too. :)

Offtopic: KingOfFlames, you just posted your 1337th post.

Anyways Blue Heaven/Chaos Zone is looking really good, Tets. I'm definitely downloading it when it's done.

Level pack released

It's out now. Grab it at the link provided in the first post or in my sig. I haven't been able to get many people to test it, but it shouldn't be as bad as the original Frigid Peak release was. Have fun now, kids. Discussion of Blue Heaven should now go to this new thread in the releases forum, where it belongs.

A good underwater zone name would be Tsunami Dungeon Zone.

 

[Chaos]

Why not an underground cave as well?
