Note: this is part of a new series of levels that I will post. If you have level ideas, please post them, I might use them. Most, but not all of, the details for each level will be posted. However, if you (The Spiral Knights Team) would like to use them, feel free to change anything. These ideas are more for use in brainstorming, than in-game, but they could work for either. With that said, please enjoy!
Level Name:
Junkyard
Variety Names:
The Dump of a Dead World
Gremlin's Playground I
Gremlin's Playground II
Deadman's Land
Accidental Automatons
Description:
When the Gremlins tear down a level and fail to rebuild it, they turn it into a garbage disposal unit. Wandering this place, you will find toxic lakes and puddles, rusty and dying constructs, and even the poor souls who died from the radiation. Spiral HQ advises caution to any and all who find themselves here.
Variety Details:
The Dump of a Dead World:
This is the most basic level. It has a few arena style rooms, the enemies are poison, construct, and slime themed. Along with that, there are a few beast enemies, mostly Virulisks. Lastly, the level does have (as all the others do) poisonous puddles, that inflict minor damage and the poison effect.
Gremlin's Playground I-II:
These levels are basically Deconstruction Zones with poisonous puddles and a poison theme. Gremlin's Playground I has a feel of Cravat Hall more than a Deconstruction Zone (but a lot more mechanical of course) and Gremlin's Playground II has a small arena room right before the lift.
Deadman's Land:
First of all, yes, this is a play on No-man's Land. These levels are wide and open, covered in poison vents and puddles, and filled with undead poison enemies.
Accidental Automatons:
These levels are similar in lay out and enemies to The Dump of a Dead World. However, it also has three different construct variations that only appear in those levels. They are all poison themed, and leave puddles of toxin behind them everywhere they go, similar to Oilers. These new monsters are: Wrecka Knights (Mecha Knights), Radioactabots (Scuttlebots), Garbatrode (Retrode).
So, tell me what you think, giving me ideas, share your own, or just bump this thread below!
All I can say is +1 for Garbatrode.
Garbatrode garbatrode garbatrode it's so fun to say :D
Ok, in all Seerusness, this seems like a nice idea. A garbage disposal type area would be really interesting to see. Although there are already the Wasteworks, the poison-themed Clockworks Tunnels. But they aren't really garbage disposal like, are they?
IMO, a different idea of putting mutated monsters in this area seems to fit this; we're dealing with radiation and toxic waste and junk in general it seems, judging from all the poison and stuff. Perhaps some sort of poison-themed mutant Gremlin?
