Inspiration, Butter and Level Design


Context: Our level design contest (rules are here) will be over in about three days (a timer is here).

Something catched my attention when I last went shopping: butter. The packaging and name inspired me to design a level.

  1. ROOMBOTER (“butter” in Dutch) sounds like the kick-kraftwerk word ROBOTER (“robot” in Germany). Robots are important in our game Nikki and the Robots..

  2. The packaging design aesthetics remind of pixels and tetris; blocks in a grid. Many of the existing levels in Nikki and the Robots are similar.

You can download this level [mirror 1|mirror 2].

Copying existing designs is not how I would usually create levels. The instant inspiration I got compelled me to do it in this case though.

When did you last have spontaneous inspiration for game locations/levels lately? Do you rather get ideas from nature or man-made things?

Some time ago, we posted a screenshot of the Mexico level. A curiosity about it is that, like some other scenarios of the game, it was inspired by a real landscape, The Basaltic Prisms of Santa María Regla. It is one of the natural wonders of the country!

Hello my space friends! Now I added a space background to the ship. I love that space look but I still feel like stuff is missing. The lighting on the ship needs some improvements I think. Please tell me your opinion!
