Did you ever wonder how a DLC stage for Emerald coast would look like?
Well, we may never get a official one, but atleast we can make one ourselves right?
And this is a fun quest I made for myself, making a whole brand new act for Emerald coast, while using concepts from original stage, with some of mine sprinkled in.
After drawing some rough sketches, I came up with something that could have some real potential, this is what I made throughout these few weeks:
I think that for someone that learned the adventure/srb2 level design from just playing, it looks pretty good, this is my first real non-remake stage I ever made in my mapping carrier, so some design choices may be wierd for more experienced mappers, but I think that it's a pretty solid stage for my experience. And this is where you could help me shape this stage to be as good as it can, but for now, everything goes rather smoothly, so I don't need any game-changing ideas, doesn't mean you can't share any cool ideas you might have, I would like to see what you guys can come up with.
===================================================================
I already have some ideas for this stage so I will write them down here:
The main idea/design for this stage is having both sections (Like in SA) and in the first half you will run through a more human-friendly places, mainly using bridges, stairs, and overall more man-made buildings, in short less natural and untouched enviroments. In second half you will traverse completly untouched enviroment, which means, wild rivers, huge mountains and rock formations and no man-made buildings in sight. This is a rough idea so I might change up some things later down the development.
===================================================================
You can give me ideas for a name for this stage, or if you know some music that could fit this stage, you can post it here. (I won't use it without permission ofc)
===================================================================
And here are some screenshots of the stage, atleast how it looks now:
(The skies are placeholder, they will be changed, when I decide on the final shape of the sector)
(Example of the Man vs Nature idea)
All of the footage shown is early in the development, so expect it to look better later down the line.
===================================================================
If you have some questions regarding this stage, then ask me, I would be happy to anwser it.
(I feel like this post will be a mess to read through)

Post automatically merged:
Here are some rough sketches I was talking about in the first post:
Act 1 (Concept art that can be used as a map If you want to see the whole stage at once.)
Act 1.5 (The second half of the man-made section, not finished yet)
The plan is, that you go down a slope and then you enter this wide hallway with a river, and you have two options to cross it, bounce of the water surface by using the slope to build speed, or go slowly by jumping from rock to rock. When you cross it, you have to spindash up the ramp to reach further section, or use spring on your right (This section may be changed).
After that, you run through this pathway that changes into balcony like path, to move forward you have to jump down to the beach below.
From here, you come across a lake that’s surrounded by big mountain walls, (I still have to think of a creative idea for how the player can cross it), but when you do cross it, you see a sign saying that there is...
A village ahead that has these tropical straw huts, and the other idea is a warning sign that tells you that there are massive massive rock pillars ahead that you will have to dodge, like a side step section, but I will mix it up a little. And both sections will be used, but I have to make a sign for the village or for the pillars. But for now I will polish up the first act and then I will build the second half, and I will have to make act 2 too, so there is a lot of work to do.
