srb2 level pack wip. jade grove INDEV

[spaydsq]

I'm starting to get into mapping more, my first level that will be published is being worked on right now, entitled Neo Jade Grove, Act 1. (The Neo is a reference to the original version of Jade Grove which will forever stay on my computer.)

made some progress, this entire area is new and i'm now using pixlr instead of a notebook to scribble down ideas. planning to make the level more open. (also please pay no mind to the lack of enemies, i'm saving most of that for the end :P)

Looks promising

the river that leads into the upper caverns...unfinished for now, but i'm still working on it today! it's all going fairly smoothly aside from fighting an uphill battle against ZB when pertaining to slopes, but smoothly nonetheless! :D
the next sector of the level should be a bit more open, with a clear path, so don't worry about the level being too linear.
(real talk, i was going to use the Aqua Paradise textures for the caverns, but they both don't fit the level and just don't work when playtesting.)

thank you! i'll try to deliver!

i did make some progress today, but it was all wiped due to an unfortunate bug occurring, and my idiocy showing itself by not saving before then.
it wasn't substantial enough to make me lose motivation or anything, i can easily replicate it tomorrow. :P

Ouch. I hate it when that happens.

welp. the wad got corrupted, and shortly thereafter replaced on accident.
great.

okay, so.
in an attempt to bounce back from the wad getting blown to kingdom come, i've decided to do Jade Grove again, but with a different theme than last time.
Jade Grove will now be an acid-infested-greens area, leading up to robotnik's main factory.
this zone will only have one act, and hopefully i'll be able to show you why.
a couple of screengrabs as a sneak peak.
(the gif is from an earlier state than the screenshot, don't pay it too much mind.)
