Hey Vechs. Here's an idea. One that Actually might accomplish 2 things.

One thing we've all experienced is that when we get down to one-2 pieces of wool left, we basically just have to scour the whole map. Sometimes this can be frustrating, sometimes not, but it's obviously not the kind of difficulty you're looking for.

What you could do, is have a row of signs in the same location as the victory monument, set up like this:





Where the signs above the gravel tell the colour of the wool. Now, lets look at one of these from the side.

- Colour of wool on this sign, available for sight right away
- This sign has the hing, it's hidden by gravel.


If the player is really stuck on one piece of wool, they punch the torch out, the gravel falls down, revealing the sign behind it which has a hint as to the location of the wool.

While I doubt it'll be added retroactively, if you even take it into consideration, the hint could be as simple as, if added to Kaizo Caverns, or another map that's Kaizo style (Separated areas) merely the cavern or area name the wool is in. What this accomplishes is the player still has to go through the entire map, facing all of the challenges, but they won't have that period of exploring completely lit up safe areas after that they've already explored and finished, scouring for a piece of wool they may have missed.


Here's some shots:

this is a miniature model with only 3. Of course you'd need one for each colour of wool.

Here's with the middle one knocked out. Just punch the torch and it lowers the gravel

Gotta fit on one sign.

You can have the gravel and torch drop down into a pit if you want to rig it to something with pressure plates.

I'm going to be playing the new version of Canopy Carnage normally, and using the old version for my journal still :wink.gif:.
Any comments on my latest entry, Vechs? (hint: scroll up)

By the way, would you endorse it if I made an official texture pack for this series?

ARGH!
WHY DO YOU ALWAYS MAKE THE VICTORY MONUMENT SUTABILE FOR A BASE?!
(okay maybe not in Black Desert but still)
Oh, and I like how the monument was half blown up.

Dude, you're already asking him about the next one?! Chill!
(I think it's gonna be Kaizo Caverns 2... or I hope...)

All previews of Canopy did were make people anxious and post constantly about wanting updates and stuff, which took time away from me actually working on the map. Not only that, but it put me on a time schedule, with people constantly wanting to know "How long till it's done? Huh? How long?" and I really didn't like that - this is a fun hobby for me, and trying to hit some arbitrary deadline turns it into a job. So I won't announce or preview my next project. I like the idea of working at my own pace, then being able to post the finished map "out of the blue" to the forums, without stringing people along with previews and stuff.

I do, however, greatly appreciate all the interest in my work though - thank you all for that! :smile.gif: And I hope you enjoy my current and future maps.
