Hey all, I'm back from a rather lengthy hiatus. I'm hoping everyone is staying safe and adjusting well to life with the pandemic tearing across the world. Since we're stuck at home regardless, I figured it'd be a good time to propose an idea I've had for a new extreme demon.
Deception Dive quickly became one of my all time favorite levels in the game due to its fun gameplay, elegant design, and the good challenge that it poses. Unfortunately, its time on the list is coming to an end as many other extremes are being verified and added. Because of this, it gave me an idea to do an unofficial sequel to it, a spiritual successor if you will. The idea is to start from scratch and use a similar formula with the same music, but with significantly buffed and altered gameplay. This would include things like much tighter waves, more straight fly, trickier timing on cubes, dual game modes, swing copters, etc.
I will openly admit that I'm not really experienced with creating levels, much less hosting a collab, so I will try my best to take charge of the project. Anyone can feel free to volunteer themselves to help direct it, as well.
I feel pretty comfortable working on the layout of the level and giving ideas for gameplay, however, I have absolutely no skill in decoration, so I would need designers with experience decorating levels to take that job.
Afterwards, I can verify the level myself, although I would prefer to have someone with experience verifying difficult levels to undertake the task.
Remember, this is just a proposal. Work has not officially begun, and will not begin until we have a team set up, I am simply putting my ideas out there to see if any others would like to pursue it.
The level
Name (can be discussed): Duplicity
Difficulty: Extreme demon
List placement goal: Top 100 (main goal), top 75 (preferred)
Epic: Optional, not a necessity
The team
AOB
(Hopefully many more, will add as people join in)
Roles still needed
Gameplay designers
Decorators
Verifier
Hoping some people are interested. I feel it would be a lot of fun and help pass the time while we're indoors.
