SFO Level Design Showcase

[TitaniumFist]

First of all, this thread is in no way a contest (official or otherwise).

This is simply a thread for members to post their new level designs. Much like you would in Non-SFO character edits. This is mostly for fun, but an NWO/MOD/ADMIN/SYSOP may at anytime add your level to the game.

Before we start posting levels, remember that:

1. We're only posting new levels. (IE: no levels posted in the LDC topics.)

2. Levels must be a minimum size of 700 x 400 pixels or a maximum of 1000 x 1000.

3. You may ask thedekstops, blockattack, or myself to test the level in the game.

4. In the event a staff member likes your level, and decides to use it for any purpose, you will be notified via PM. If you request your level not be used, it will not be added.

5. If you make a level, please leave your IGN (in game name). If I feel the level is adequate, level creators (who aren't staff) can go ingame and test their levels for a limited period of time. Come back with screenshots please.

Lastly, here's a quick run-through of most levels already created and/or ingame, but especially all levels created during official contests:

Previous image removed. Here's another level:

New stage,I know it's ugly.

[TitaniumFist]

The only thing wrong with is the blur/smudge in the wrong places. And some of the skyBG.

Try burning parts of the street instead of smudge/blur.

[Strider26]

I'll have a new one soon.

[Strider26]

New stage.

[TitaniumFist]

Much better than the first.

2 points for me to nitpick: The stuff above your rooftop, on the right, is choppy. Sometimes for small items like those, if I can't get it to look clean, I'll cut it off completely. Try that.

And your clouds - they could be more fluffy. Lol

Good job. Looks like it's just me and you Strider.

[(-ObNoXiOuS-1-)]

I was going to make one of these threads, again non official, but I didn't think there was a point to it. But seeing as someone else thinks it's a good idea. Then I'm here to support it, and I'll post my entries too.

Here are two of my previous entries. I still love these stages because I put a lot of effort into it. I had to grab, render, cut and such resources from various places just to make these two stages.





EDIT: If you're wondering why this has so much snow, well because it was a working in progress before Christmas.

[Strider26]

Real nice stages (-ObNoXiOuS-1-),love them.

New stage,I sharpened it to add a realistic feel to it.

[TitaniumFist]

I really like your stages as well, (-ObNoXiOuS-1-), but please remember the first rule:

All the levels created in the public/VIP LDC contests that didn't win are not going to go unused. (At least those that are acceptable)

Not bad Strider. I'm having a hard time finding something brand new to create - most of my new stages are uhm, a secret. o_O
