I recently released part one of a fantasy adventure game called "Greece" that I made myself with a cool program called GameMaker. You can download Greece 1.0 here:

I have not done any OBW work recently, and do not plan to in the near future.
If anyone sent me levels, music, graphics, etc, and they have not been posted on the OBW site, please yell at me on this topic so I will get around to uploading them.

Eldar, please do not post Greece on the OBW toic. Go to the Just Chat board. But I like it. ARRGGG... What is that song?!?!? 
Aschaaf, I am working on finishing some of my levels. I have completed Misunderestimation, Plummit Summit, The Lockbox, Timed Escape, and The Surface. They have scenery and everything. Level exits can't be defined until after the levels have been put into one file, but that's all that needs to be done on them. I'm working on finishing one more, then I'll send you them all.

Yeah. I'll do that when assembling a build.
Put exits in the levels, but don't bother setting the info for them.

You're right, sorry.
"That song?" All the songs are original, which one do you mean?

Oh man, have I got an idea for a NASTY level. I suggest that AVN make it, but someone else could. At first I though storm valley was tough. Then I thought the ice levels were tough. Then I thought the scrolling fire levels were tough. Then I thought an ice windy level would be tough. Then I thought an ice scrolling level would be tough. Now I think an ice level that scrolls, and has a global air push would be fun. Whadda ya think? ::evil grin::
Sorry, gotta withdraw from the project. I'll continue making Ferazel worlds, but I shall not work on this project anymore. I have other things to do.

The one at the end that plays when you win.

I love that, Thok! I won't make it, though. I have other things to do. Aschaaf, I'm just going to send you what I have now because the other levels I was planning to send won't be ready for a while.

I haven't been to the boards lately but still have been keeping up with my Ferazel creations. Can I join OneBigWorld.org? 
I'm not asking to own a kingdom just be the putty that fills in the cracks. I don't have enought motivation to design a whole kingdom. I've read up on the topics (yes...everything since Dec) :D.
Okay. Things this group and I need to keep going (as infered by Burnum):
()Motivation
()The Password to download the files please
()Is there one file I can download to get everything in One Big World?
()A World Screen to replace the seven lands of Tektornon (At least change the # to 9 :D)
()More Levels
()Anything else?
Suggestions (as suggested by Burnum):
()An e-mail list. Shoot this idea down now, if you don't like it. I like stuff like yahoogroups because we'd be the only ones reading it. You can post files up there if you want. It's organized and comes directly to your mailbox.
()An updated web site? "Last updated at 8:13 PM on Sunday the 31st of the 12th month of the year 2000 A.D (Which, by the way, is NOT the "new milennium". That's very soon, though.)" Let's get moving here buddy.
Things I Can Do (as to be done by Burnum):
()Beta test all levels.
()Create levels for kingdoms. I notice some people have dropped out and/or can't create as many levels as they originally planed. Think of it as a contracting service. Someone yells out "Burnum! I need another level for my Ocean Kingdom NOW!" And I say, "Okay Boss." My specialties include Forest, Ice, and Ocean (well I really don't know what ocean is, but it sounds cool. :D)
()Create music...although it looks like we have that taken care of.
()Draw up specialty graphics. I'm semi-okay when it comes to computer graphics
()Design a better web site? No offence, but ick. Notice I didn't say host a better website. I could only host on homepage.mac.com or someother service, and it would be slow.
()Be ListMom for the list...if we create one.

Play Ferazel's Wand? (url="http://"http://homepage.mac.com/burnum/ferazel.hqx")Download Equity Of Redemption!(/url) - A New Ferazel's Wand World
Yay! I love forest levels. BTW, my e-mail is burnum@mac.com so send me that passphrase (don't you love that term? :D) plz.
Another suggestion:
() Make a version of the game that doesn't require any modifications to the actuall FW files.
()And on a related note...you may want to think twice about replacing certain sprites to free up space. Someother world may utilize those sprites, the user unsuspectedly trys to play that level, but gets your sprites which you replaced. I know that makes it harder for us...or we could just put a disclaimer: Place these files in the FW folder when playing our level. Use the normal files for other levels. Dunno.

Sorry.

It's in the mail.

No.
There are three files: The levels package, Bob's BG tiles, and the Tech tileset.

Yes.
We need a world map NOW.
Not a final one, but just enough to tell the "general direction" of each kingdom. (In Teraknorn, the fire levels were "down", Xichra's levels "up", etc.)

Yeah, Dr Tall Land seems to have more now.

Hmm.
It'd be nice to have other people not read it, but I like using the Ambrosia boards.
I'd rather keep using this topic.

OK, I'll make a better one.
BTW, That was for the main page, not the whole site.

You can make levels for whatever kingdom you want.
We need Dark Woods, Sand, 9th Kingdom, and Tech (I may have forgotten some other kingdoms that have very few levels, but you get the idea) levels the most.

That website is only for the developers, and they can tolerate it.
There will be a MUCH better site for the consumers.
BTW, onebigworld.org is free.
Maybe we could all split the $15/year.

That would ruin the Tech Kingdom, and "Delusions of Mediocrity"!

Yeah, but I really want to replace the big bug with an owl.
Hmm.
