A video is worth a thousand pictures

And I really was considering creating a thousand pictures to make one huge panoramic view of the Snow Go death route so I could show off the whole thing, but that proved impractical almost immediately, so I decided that a video is surely a much better method!


 

 Enjoy this footage so you can see just what you're letting yourselves in for... heh-heh-heh.

Early screenshots of Snow Go (6)

Hello again! Still hard at work and here's some new progress for you!

At long last, minus a couple of errors that I'll be correcting soon, the red gem area of Snow Go is now completed. Here's the final screenshots from inside of the route, along with one screenshot of back on the main level in the 3D sections.


This formation of boxes... what could it possibly mean?!

Introducing the Nitro bridge! Complete with penguins that spin and spin
forever, allowing you to cross as long as you aim carefully...

I think we have a problem... now, where do you plan to hide from this?

Somewhere outside, Crash is observing some awfully positioned crates.
Hint: Jumping isn't the only way to clear holes.

And finally, a random shrine dedicated to Sword0fSeals, who, in spite of
his name, adores penguins. Aren't they cute? They'll kill you.

So, the next task on the agenda is all of the 3D areas (which are proving... interesting, you might say...) and the other parts of the main level not yet shown. That's still a lot of work. But we're getting somewhere! Currently this level has more than 250 breakable boxes. I can't think that number is going to decrease any time soon either, so get ready for a lot of crate abuse when this is finally done.

Have a great evening, stay tuned for more updates. And there are more to come soon!

Early screenshots of Snow Go (5)

The show must go on!

So, you know how I said my time had cleared up? It really hadn't at all. No sooner had I said it did I get myself dragged headlong into a totally different project; one that is still ongoing. However, I got back to Crash 2 recently, and am continuing level design despite the fact that we still have issues with cloning objects and whatnot...

So, new screenshots. More of the red gem route, no less!


A whole stash of goodies! But they're a little high up...

How about asking this penguin politely to loan you its head?
...And even if you do, is it really all that simple?

I will make you work for your box gem. Or, you know, even just to survive.

Standard annoying puzzle type A. At least you get a life out of it.

Did I really just go there? Why yes I did.

It is worth noting that in the final screenshot, the TNT are currently drawn incorrectly; that shall be fixed in time. The screenshot implies the edge two TNTs are further forwards than the others; that is not the case, they are simply slightly lower.

There WILL be more to come soon as I continue to build the level and as soon as it is ready... this one level will be made available for playtesting. Hope you guys look forwards to it :P
