Revived after 8 months of limbo, I present to you The Unofficial Level Design Collab


Notice: This level pack does NOT WORK in No Save mode. If you want to play the ULDC pack with custom characters or scripts, load the ULDC pack LAST.​

Spoiler: Notice

Neo Palmtree is not included in this pack because I was unable to get the necessary permissions from GoldenB4. If you are GoldenB4 reading this, I'm planning on updating this still, and will be glad to include your stage in here if you want it in.

Also, if you had a map intended for ULDC that is completable that you never released separately, again, I'm making updates to this, so I will add your stages to the Hub in an update!

This was a project organized by MellowJacket back in February 2020 to fill the void caused by the OLDCs 5 years of absence.

Due to personal issues, MellowJacket wasn't in the mental space to continue managing the project, and it was unfortunately shut down. After it was shut down, some people decided to release the stages made for it separately. Some people decided to work on their stages further and include them in other packs events or contests. Unfortunately this pack does not include the aforementioned stages. It didn't feel right to do so. Some people also never released their stages.

8 months after it was cancelled. Apollyon and I decided to compile all ULDC content together. After reaching out to people, I got permission to released and unreleased and include them in the pack. Stages that aren't complete enough to include in the pack, are planned for contests/collabs in the future, or already released in a pack are included in The Gallery.

Major credits to Apollyon by the way, she did most of the technical work in the compilation of this, as well as most of the ideas for its execusion. It's super impressive! Check out her stuff.

Here are the stages included in the pack:

Spoiler: Included Stages

* Gigalopolis by Rexeljet

Play tested this earlier and on Android too! I don't know how you guys do it but you guys are literally crazy haha. Other than that, everything checks out in terms of functionality and playability. Welcome to releases and Merry Christmas!

 

[little guy*]

A collab sounds much nicer than a contest...
Merry Christmas! This seems fun

 

[Othius]

Added a Supporters / CoAuthors list, apologies for not initially including it.

 

[Fres]

ChrispyChars coming out AND ULDC rising out of limbo? Christmas really delivered this year!

 

[Micro]

To use in no save, Type MAP U0 -F into the console during the opening cutscene.

 

[MK.exe]

Added a Supporters / CoAuthors list, apologies for not initially including it.

Might want to double check since im not there

 

[glaber]

Special stages are broken in this pack.

 

[Rolly Polly Pal]

Special stages are broken in this pack.

We are well aware, next update shall fix that

 

[Tayes]

Where is The Sky in Gigalopolis?

 

[yfyfyfyfyfy]

Oh my God! My eyes. Why is the hub white?
I see no reason to write anything about levels, because most of them I have already played. Maybe I'll write later.

 

[Othius]

Oh my God! My eyes. Why is the hub white?

 

[yfyfyfyfyfy]

It doesn't look very good. Although, in 2D it doesn't look so light
Any way, I slightly changed the hub for myself, making it darker.

 

[RazorionLVII]

Botanic Space had me thinking of Botanic Base From Knuckles Chaotix

 

[RazorionLVII]

Problem: Whenever i start up the pack with and without mods, after the save file set up screen it sends me back to title, even though i didnt press spin. Any reason this might happen

Oh my God! My eyes. Why is the hub white?

Kwiin, you could definitely knock the white palette texture down by one or two shades.

White and off-white are actually very different colors. You very rarely want an arctic white for almost anything. (Except maybe as the top color of a color range for a sprite or texture, but try an off-white there too.)

It sets up the save so you have level select at the start. go back into the save file.
if playing with custom characters, make sure you load this pack last.

 

[Just Silus!]

I really love the reference to Sonic Generations. (well... if it is)

Anyway, stupid question, is there a way i can participate on this? ._.XD

Not unless you made a stage sometime between February and April that was intended for the ULDC.
