Again, as I said to Edwards and Dogbert, I already have Fire Falcon and D-ATTACK testing it and I don't need much more than that. But I might, we'll see what the future holds. Once again, thanks for offering, it's really considerate.
Usually I have free times on my hands, thought I would offer.

Compare with mine:
A transparent, light-blue sprite in layer 9. At least it was easy to do
Actually, now that I think about it, yours may be a bit processor intensive. I hope not, as it looks pretty cool.
I will say that your water looks more "sketchy," whereas Silverwind's looks very... un-sketchy... but both look neat. Can't wait...

It won't be long 'til the release now, I've just added the final gun colour. All that's left is the final area and a bit more detailing in the rest of the level.

Which area is behind that extremely impressive 3-D arch, I presume?
Edwards wanders away, rather stunned at that incredible bit of sketchery.

Greetings,
I am ashamed of myself. I'm making a map of my own and looking at what others have done I am stunned. How on Earth did you get that door?!?!?!

I am totally going to use that arch in my next level.

I'm always glad to hear my work is appreciated. I actually think it looks rather scribbly, it was built in fifteen minutes. Not to worry though, I'll probably add a better 3D object near the end of the level, and if I take the time to add vines going up the wall and a sign hanging from it it will look a bit cooler.

Nah, the arch is back at the waterfall, the final area has a much more stunning entrance... freaky Crystal Maze like grin Remember I said I was only blueprinting the level first, and then I'd go back and detail it? Well that's kinda what I'm doing now, as well as the last area. By the way, sorry I've been so long sending the next BETA file, I've got all the changes and suggestions done, but I'm spending allot of time on the difficulty. I don't want it as hard as TTOTP, (which was really cool by the way GSN) but I want it a good bit harder than my usual work. (I think I've achieved this) I'll have the next update finished by today I expect, so just let me know what time suits you for sending it, if your still interested.

I look forward to seeing what you have up your sleeve.

Well, given the detail level of the beta I played, this ought to be rather impressive.

As soon as possible would be good, as my internet connection will become very questionable starting around noon on Saturday. Assuming I get the file, I'll try to send a review the first chance I get.

In about a week, I'll release The Cathedral Of Chaos. It might be a slightly longer, because I want to wait for the BETA testers final opinions on it, but I don't think it will be much more then a week. It's file size so far is 916 KB although it doesn't take nearly as much time to complete as TTOTP. My run of it so far is 22 minutes, and all I have left to add is the big nasty at the end. I wouldn't say the final version would take more than 30 minutes to finish if your a decently good player. (although there's a mine that I keep forgetting about in a narrow corridor that gets me every time, that might add another five minutes to it!) While the difficulty could be considered hard, it's no where near as hard as TTOTP or The Five Seasons. I only hope I haven't made it unenjoyable for everyone, as I myself prefer a nice easy level. (well, easier )
One last thing. The framerate slows down a bit (usually only when your shooting) whenever there's a considerable amount of detail on the screen, and also because of the ridiculous size of the level! While I am trying to trim down the amount of onscreen sprites, I hope this doesn't ruin the level too much for anyone in the finished product. My next level will definitely be smaller...
