My main goal for the third installment of the series is to make a fun level revolving around solving puzzles, rather than blazing through with guns and thunder.

And to that end, I would like to know what kind of interesting puzzles you would like to see in the level.

could you put in like a dead door game? like have a room with to doors. and have one door lead you out of your destination, and the other get into another room like that but with 3 doors, the dead dorrs lead to the room you begin in with a teleporter. in the beging room you should have a path of a different floor on the gound well that is not like a path you fallow but has like the answer like have on on the left and then it goes to the center.

A reply! Applause! :D

Joking aside, basically, your idea is to have a room with multiple doors, only one of which is the correct one, and the others go through more doors, then circle back?

correct! don't forget the answer key in maybe a secret room!

Alright, I'll toy around and see what I can come up with.

cool, i may have some more up my sleave though im wearing short sleaves i'll come up with some more

anouther one, why not make a room with lots of sectors that go up and down not at the same time. did you ever play paper mario, they do this in shy guy toy box

Good idea, but I already have one of those in Idiotic Jones and the Temple of Chex.

oh all right, i'll post when i get some more

Xbolt, sorry this has been gone for a while, but got any screens to show us so far? I really can't wait to see what you have so far.

Very well. Here is a screenshot of inside the caves:

And here is the earlier shot I took of the jungle:

And for progress updates, the level is very nearly finished. I should have it out in time for the second anniversary of Newmaps. (Sheesh, I can't believe it's been that long already!)

Have you done the doors of doom yet?

Maybe. Maybe not. You must wait until the release to get details of which puzzles I included. ;)

I've never been much of a puzzle fan, except the kind of puzzles that are in Zelda. You know - the kind where you literally have to sit there and do random things (while looking around) until something happens. Except, being Zelda - it's not as bad as it sounds. Do you understand what I'm saying?

I think so. You're the kinda guy who likes things where you just hang around until something happens.

You could make a script where you stand there for a second then a door opens or something...

I'm sorry xbolt, I myself am not one for solving puzzles, or making them.

Really? I like puzzles in games. (Up to a certain point, of course)

Just make it fun, not boring. I like puzzles in games up to a certian point (like when there are too many and it gets boring.)

I do too, but I get frustrated when I can't solve certain ones. And I can't make really good ones either, I have tried.

That's my plan. ^_^
