Re: Descent 1 1/2

I can take a stab at one of the secret levels, it seems I enjoy making puzzles that are different from the norm. The puzzle to get the yellow key in L14 of my yet-to-be-released mission comes to mind.

Re: Descent: The countdown development thread

It feels wierd just placing lasers and quad lasers in random places after neatly placing everything else in D:TC secret level 2 like they did in D1 SL2. Also quick question: After finishing secret level 2, shall I move on to level 22, or go back to level 18 to rebuild from scratch to get rid of the ...

On the other hand, the level that took the shortest time to build was my first one, Brimstone research lab RL1096, with almost a week.

Re: Descent 1 1/2

Just a quick off topic-ish question. Should we place a reactor in boss levels like parallax did or nah?
They'll disappear on load anyway. I think they are for anarchy or something. I've never played multiplayer so I'm not sure.

Well I can change it, I just didn't understand from your wording what exactly you wanted changed - is the issue with metl139 or the underlying texture?

What's the longest time it has taken you to build a level?

I've just finished building level 21 of The Countdown, it took me 3 months. Even though my first level (Brimstone research lab RL1096) took me a just a week.
What is the longest time it took to build a level for everyone else? Just curious.

There is unlimited tries as long as long as you dont hit the switch that turn the forcefields off. Then you have as many tries as you have guided missiles.

The robot reactors get used a lot in obsidian to cover switches. Same with level 6 of apocalyptic factor inside the yellow door. So maybe if there is a switch heavy level somewhere it might not be too weird to have one like that

Ultimate necro but...
Levels, both official and user made, use two 20x20x10 cubes for doors quite often. ( And it annoys me every time I see it because it looks untidy and forces surrounding textures to be aligned a certain way. Unless you want an ugly seam between textures.)

Re: Descent 1 1/2

I've thought of a good name for level 39 now.
I'm calling it ul'go k'doc derelict quarter.
The first two words are an anagram of 'good luck'.
It has a nice ring to it and it also sounds like a base name for the orcs in The lord of the rings.
