Hi there everybody, let's cut to the chase. I'm going for a fair challenge that people can enjoy. Keep in mind, of course, that it's still a WIP! Stuff like decor and scenery will be added later, right now I'm just focusing on the level itself.       Screenshots for this level will come at a steady pace. |

I'd say make the castle blocks more numerous. Break 'em up, it'll look somewhat better. Other than that, looks nice. Not much else to say other than it looks difficult. |

Not much else to say other than it looks difficult. I've got to agree with MercuryPenny on this: - You should break up the stone blocks into tiny pieces and compile them together rather than having those huge stone blocks. Kind of looks better in my view. - You should also lower the stone block a little on the 4th screenshot it looks like a blind jump to me, and I don't like blind jumps... =( Both of these are optional, you don't have to do it, but I guess these are the minor issues. |

Out of curiosity, was this inspired by that one fortress level in TSRPR? That combination of the obstacles in the first and second screenshots looks awfully familiar. On a perhaps more useful note, you're missing the background flames. -------------------- My YouTube channel Get the official ASMT resource pack here! |

Yeah, I really liked how TSRP (or TSRPR)'s level design was, in a way that is was "hard" but is still something that can be pretty fun to most players. Anyways, more screenshots coming in a second. EDIT: Okay, here's some more screenshots. I guess it did look a lot like TSRP, but I just love that hack so much I guess the levels just got stuck in my head  But that happens to me with a lot of hacks that I like!Anyways, I changed some stuff up a little and added new parts.       |

Are you gonna make a custom palette for this ? You really should, none of the base palettes really give the "Death Keep" feeling. |

Looks good. Yes, a palette would be nice. If it's supossed to look like the original, what about some different game modes? I think you can make some nice effects with them.

I don't know what palette I would use, though. Anyways, more screenshots:     |

Keep messing around with palettes until it gives a good atmosphere to the level. "Death" feels like a darker color; a paler color. Think: what colors suck life out of everything? Make everything darker and paler, so it feels like death.
Apologies for what I'm about to call the enemies, I forgot the name of them already. If you're gonna keep the name to the level, I highly suggest putting more of the skelekoopas in the level. The electric guys give a feeling of life to the level. Maybe make them darker in some fashion, so they give a radiation of death rather than electricity. |

Just saying... "skelekoopas" = Dry Bones, and "electric guys" = (small variety) Lil' Sparkies, and (big variety) = Hotheads. Anyways, how's this for the Lil' Sparkies and Hothead palettes?  Edit: 600th post! |

Not good at all, way too bright for the Death Keep theme, and even without the theme in count, it looks decent at best. |

What are you talking about, I colored the Lil' Sparkies and Hotheads GREY, I think it fits the "Death" theme. |

Let's be honest, it doesn't. Here's a very quick palette mockup I did to give you a rough idea of what I think when I hear Death Keep.  |
