Topic: Waterworks concept art candidates
I recently finished some possible concept art for Waterworks Zone.
Let me know what you think.

Re: Waterworks concept art candidates
That's about it.
The platforms go up and down. Have you imagined some rollers / rolling platforms there?
Glad to hear from you.

This picture is based on that first gimmick on the Wiki page
on http://opensnc.sourceforge.net/wiki/ind … works_Zone.
The brown platforms are in fact the ones that rise and fall, and the blue-green
gear on the side is meant to move the platforms (or the water). I had not
thought of rolling platforms, but I could design some.

Yes, that would be awesome.
Re: Waterworks concept art candidates
Here are some moving platforms.
The green one is supposed to be propeller-powered.
The blue cylinder would be the rolling platform.
Let me know what you think.

Re: Waterworks concept art candidates
Nice!
I think I understand the green one, but not the blue one. What's the underlying mechanic?

I think the mechanic is rotate the cylinder, or circle if we see it from a 2d perspective.

Yes. My idea was that Surge would run on top of the cylinder (circle from 2D),
and rotate it to move forward.

Re: Waterworks concept art candidates
I think it makes sense.
I have seen that you uploaded your concepts to the wiki. I have updated the Waterworks page so that your contribution is listed:
http://opensnc.sourceforge.net/wiki/ind … works_Zone
We'll use that page for future reference.

More art:
The backdrop here is a rock face.
In front of the rock face is supposed to be the transport pipe.
At the very front are platforms suspended by cables.
Let me know what you think.

Re: Waterworks concept art candidates
Hey, that's really good.
Let me ask you a question: you imagined a rock in the backdrop. I initially had though Waterworks Zone would be a more "industrial" thing. What do you have in mind?
Re: Waterworks concept art candidates
I was thinking that the industrial setting would be built around/on top of
a rocky, possibly grass-covered waterfall. So Surge would pass by a few
sections of rock and moss while scaling the dam under construction.
Would that idea work, or should there be much less rock face and much
more industrial?

Re: Waterworks concept art candidates
I think more industrial works best, because we explore grass and similar elements in Sunshine Paradise.
A few years ago I visited Itaipu, a massive dam between Brazil and Paraguay.
Usina Hidroelétrica Itaipu Binacional / Itaipu Dam by Deni Williams, no Flickr
I visited the outside, and it looks like this:
Now, check the internals:
There are rocks and stuff, but they are more on the outside. Since Waterworks features all those sophisticated industrial gimmicks, I believe the focus of the level could be more on the inner part of the dam.
