As always, I'm having problems (since yesterday night) to upload the fixed bugs here on LOK. You can check the latest version on KAEC site, listed on page 1 of this thread.
Biles Wrote:My proposed idea: Access to the Subcon realm could be a possible bonus option.
It would be nice to retain the original idea of taking a given potion and making a red door appear. (she can be browsing for this potion in the leaves, along with other vegetables). Then she could get in that level with some surprises, like a goomba, some toads, and even someone that might be fucking there, even Krystal. Subcon bonus areas make me remember of the game ToeJam & Earl 2, when those characters find secret areas.
Biles Wrote:Could be more than one gateway doors connecting to the realm, but are scattered throughout the Mushroom world. Therefore only certain Mushroom kingdoms will have some of these doors, but in order to unlock these doors and go through, Peach would have to find artifacts (whatever they may be) throughout the levels of that particular kingdom.
The problem is that we already have artifact plans, like the blueprints in order to unlock World 9, as E.Gadd needs those to fix the spaceship. Right now, the spaceship is working all the time.
Even if we dont use artifacts, gaining access to those hidden levels (reversed and dusky ones) should be limited in size, otherwise if Peach finds a potion in world 3-1 (subcon world), she would be able to wander around the entire 3-1 level in reverse.
Biles Wrote: If she finds them all and completes that Mushroom kingdom level, Peach would be able to have the option to enter the Subcon realm.
Ok, those dusky reversed levels. But again, having more artifacts to be collected might be a hassle right now. What we could make is those red potions which makes a door appear. If Peach enters on some of them (only in world 3) she could unlock an optional dusky level (like 3-9) which will be fully playable and she could see flying subcons, having some scenes with them and Wart can appear too.
Biles Wrote:Of course, I'd also like to have the ability for Peach to travel from one Subcon world level to another directly in certain areas of the Subcon world.
It will add up complexity right now. I just would like to TEST the funcionality of grabbing a given potion and making a red door appear, then a certain fixed area of a reversed dusky level appearing (only on world 3). I might succeed or not (SUBCON SUBAREA).
Biles Wrote:Mushroom kingdom levels may have elements from Subcon bleed into their levels and vice-versa as a way of hinting to players that there's a Subcon gateway in that kingdom.
You say, in other worlds except 3? So lets say Peach is playing in 'normal subcon levels' in world3, but she can access those dusky levels WHILE in world3 AND in certain levels of other worlds, like world 4? But I still cant think of gateways that makes she warp to world3, then the player would be able to stay in this world (this will add up complexity). The best bet now is to have SUBCON SUBAREAS, as said above. With no artifacts.
Toyloli Wrote:oops, I thought we dropped the 'courtyard' idea and were going to leave the castle as is? I know we were saying that the bridge would become part of the dark castle levels (the ones with the boos and the chomp standing on the bridge). I haven't got around to optimizing the bridge, been dealing with minor emergencies. Will try to get through it this weekend. Hopefully have result for you monday.
Ok, If I return to this matter, I'll take the job to make the countyard. That's because it would be nice to have a garden for Peach, with flowers and the possibility of threesome scenes. But hmmm the scenes could happen right in front of the exit door (the star door), as it will be a scene 'out in the open', and this is nice for an ENF theme. I'll see what can be done.
Toyloli Wrote:Why can't you simply have peach start a level, then a baddie comes and conks her on the head (knocks her unconscious) . One cut scene later and you're in the subcon level. Then when she finishes the level she wakes up, finds herself covered in cum, in a different location with a box of cholocates and a card on the ground next to her. Card: "Thanks for the good time". Peach: "Oh dear, what happened. And where did this key come from?"
Possible too. But SubCon levels are considered real levels, those are not just dreams, but a kind of paralel world, reachable from portals. It might be better to make Peach play sky levels if she is unconscious. However I dont think it will hurt if we also make Peach reach SubCon that way, as she will wakes up 'used up', a proof she was really there. But this will be ANOTHER way to reach there, as the main way is to go through those red doors (spawned from red potions).
