Raph's Level Thread

Just gonna drop these here, I know you might be wondering why you don't see any NPCs, that's because i'm using Gonstruct and it's a buggy offline editor that doesn't allow you to place any NPC's so use your imagination.

Thanks!

Here's another level, in-case you didn't read it in my first comment I don't use NPCs because Gonstruct doesn't allow it anymore for some reason and Graal Editor doesn't work for Windows 10 anymore. Now that that's out of the way; here ya go :)

Not bad at all honestly. You're pretty spot on with achieving clean creative layouts through each level,

1st Level
Id just stay away from such similar tiles as far as the floor and the roof goes.

4th Level
With some of the walls it seemed you were doing a bit too much as far as pillars or whatnot be , toning it down a tad bit wouldn't hurt the creativity you seem to have as far as sticking to a little simplicity on certain areas.

Other than that pretty solid submissions in my opinion, You seem very creative which is a great perk to have with creating levels and of course with practice and the more you actually level/create you'll fine tune things, get better and develop a more polished look through each level, but this is great. :)

Thanks for the feedback it's very much appreciated, and yeah creativity plays a huge role in any dev position definitely but it's mostly from previous Staff experience. It's been so long since I've done any leveling i'm happy to be getting back into it.

Here's another Level I did this morning! :D

Definitely love the creativity. I would say though that some levels seem too clustered, specially using the same tiles for 2 different things (like walls tiles being used to make tables).

I guess the main issue I see is perspective.

Thank you! I'll keep that in mind for my next level! For that level I was trying to stick to a theme and the other tables in the tileset didn't seem to fit the mental picture I had in my head but next time i'll try something different, thank you for the feedback it's very much appreciated! :)

Your levels are really nice and lots of creativity. My advice for you is maybe trying making levels on Testbed so you could put NPCs on your levels :)
and I think the shadows on the floor needs a bit more work.

Appreciate it bud, NPCs definitely can make or break a level. As for floor shadowing; that's not a mandatory thing, at least for Era PC. What you see in my levels is called floor design. I'm not really going for a 3D-ish approach to some of the levels you see up there. I do have a level I did post up there that has floor shadowing in it but as far as I can tell it's completely correct! Thank you though the feedback is very much appreciated :). If you wanna learn more about leveling feel free to send me a message. :D

I never did floor designing on my levels before ( or I think I did but never remembered ) but I think it's a great idea, I'm more into the 3D-ish type of levels to make it more realistic, For me honestly, NPC's could stand the level pretty well and make it not too empty. I mean sure I'll try to message you about leveling since I just recently came back from leveling. :p

Here's another level from this morning! This level here I intended to make much more simple, nothing crazy complex just a simple lil shop :).

Few comments about your latest level:
In red: the tiles used could have been any counter tiles. You used the exact tiles as the walls and that can visually confuse players, especially the one above the big window in the middle.
In blue: In the one on the left, its better to have the stairs placed in a continuous manner and the walls crossing over the stairs look a bit confusing unless you are planning to add some sort of glass between them, which will look sick actually!
In green: this didnt make a lof sense to me, since there is already a big table behind it and the area it was put in is very small, just wanted to point that out, nothing major.

Overall I like your creativity with your designs, looks great and its nice how you shaded the floor according to a specific light source! Keep up the good work and I'm looking forward to see more levels from you

Thank you, the feedback is very much appreciated :)! As for the green yeah I see what you mean. For the blue, yes! I wanted to add glass in the middle of the staircases and all the other window spots! Thank you for pointing out the ones in red I'll use different counter tile's than I use from my walls from now on so players don't get confused. Thanks again for the feedback you've been a huge help once again :D!

Another day, another level. Here ya guy's go :)!

Yo I love the looks of these levels. Would be awesome to see them introduced in game honestly, add something new for players to explore and maybe even a new hang out spot.

Keep it up man I can't wait to see what you have coming up next for us!
