Making a Level Plan

[obtuse plume]

Main Idea: A frantically paced classic demon level centered around travelling through abstractly built pockets of the universe in an electric fashion, slinging sparks as you fling yourself into different segments of the known universe.

Secondary Ideas:
While the level will be themed around electricity, I think with such a funky and cosmic idea, the electricity that the level is themed around is constantly flowing with colors to really give off that sort of psychedellic universe jumping feel.

Tradeoffs:
With such an ambitious idea, the level would have to take a lot of time to reach the quality that an idea should deserve. I think spendings loads of time on a level in order to make it a memorable experience should be done for many levels.

This was the song I was listening to while making this plan, and probably would be the song I'd use:

The level must have:

• Fast-paced gameplay to fit with both the theming and also the song.
• Fittingly chaotic and flashy decoration.

It should have:

• Demon difficulty gameplay. Since I'm bad, it would likely have to be medium at most. If I wanted the level to be more accessible at some point, I could tone down the difficulty.
• Absurd shader usage used for several effects.
• A low detail mode that reduces the flashiness because epileptics deserve to play games too.

Could have:

• I don't know how much I'd budge on this, but I'd prefer if the level wasn't XL. Using the full song would greatly extend the length of time and effort needed for the level more than what I'd like. However, if I felt that the level needed it, I'd use the full song.

Won't have:

• Excessive camera usage. I feel as if rotating and zooming and moving the camera too much can really be disorienting.
• Shader usage just for the hell of it. I want the shaders in the level to have a purpose beyond just adding "polish."
