[DSG] CRIMSON STAR: new screens + new functionality

PROGRESS///

Added a few new rooms in the MAIBUU RAINLANDS, and a NEW FEATURE. for those of you who played the "demo", I've changed the functionality of the ghostmode.

Take a look at the screens. You can only enter and stay in ghost mode within 100 pixels of an anchor. Why? well, This adds the much needed puzzle element of the game. Some anchors move, some appear after acheiving small goals… etc.

The ghost mode is used for reaching places that you cannot walk to e.g. an elevated platform/under a bridge to turn a switch.

Ghost mode is finished as far as I'm concerned. =D

What MAIBUU RAINLANDS is becomming is actually a 3-world place: the MAIBUU RAINLANDS SOUTH [crash site], the MAIBUU RAINLANDS NORTH [location of the GHOSTMODE powerup and the entrance to the MAIBUU RUINS] and the MAIBUU CANAPY [location of the crimson temple]

p.s. the MAIBUU RUINS will be an extensive network of underground passageways, where a few power-ups are located and on the opposite side will be the entrance to the MAIBUU SANDLANDS =P

ALSO, who liked the soundtrack thus far? =P

Ghost mode sounds really cool.

He still looks a little too dark.

I personally would make him a bit reddish/brown, so he stands out a little more, (if most of the game has green in it)

If that's too dark, calibrate your monitor. It looked pretty bright on this relatively dark monitor against as white background.

No, the game won't mostly be green, only Maibuu Rainlands… which is one out of… 10 major locations?

@retro: na, it's not that dark

I just played the demo… I have to say you're doing a really good job. Already you've created a great atmosphere. The music is great, very similar to Metroid Prime – that's a good thing, a very good thing. Nice and smooth too, except for some of the collisions with the boundaries.

I want to see this finished.

Unfortunately, I can foresee this project dying already… But I really want to see this finished too :(
