Copy pasting and slightly editing this from a REAAAALLY old thread of mine from months back when the forums first got their avatars. Let's see how people like this.

Okay, Haven has seen snow in the past few months, and a number of the levels are already basically undergoing some sort of weather phenomenon if they have the right theme (Ice themed levels get snow and Shock themed levels get thunderstorms, you know the drill).

There are "Sky Islands" but no levels where you can stand on poofy cloud platforms or suchlike.

So... with the above in mind, what I came up with is this.

WHAT IS THIS THING SUPPOSED TO LOOK LIKE?
Basically, it's a bunch of levels, much like Aurora Islands and Scarlet Fortress, that can appear in any theme and has the basic "fake sky" thing in the background. Except NOW you see a lot of girders with Gremlins and other critters running around on them (think of a scene from the music video for Pink Floyd's Welcome To The Machine), clouds and the various floating mechanical islands in the backgrounds instead of the artificial moon/suns. Because you're now in the place where their weather comes from. And presumably also in proximity to their sun.

It's got platforms with clouds forming on them, I guess it can also have a bit of Greek architecture here and there (as a homage to how they portrayed Olympus in Disney's Hercules), and lots of fancy machinery that produces clouds and rain and stuff. and cyan paint buckets and lots of panels lying around that presumably get welded into the "sky" at some point.

ENEMIES
Gremlins seeing as they do pretty much everything in the clockworks, it only makes sense for them to micromanage the weather in the few places that DO have it. What other monsters should be there? hm, I dunno actually, perhaps unique ones? Erm... Spectralisks (Chromalisks with a weird Rainbow effect to them)? I don't need to say Constructs since they get everywhere, but obviously not Lumbers (unless they wore cloud costumes instead of their tree costumes).
and perhaps each room can also get a weather-themed miniboss squad of sorts? Cloud/weather elementals?

Obviously we'll need weather machine puzzles that you need to mess around with in order to progress

and perhaps if there's a boss it can sport one of these halo things

THEMED VERSIONS? WHAT WOULD YOU CALL THESE?
Normal/Unthemed: Windmill Workfloor (it can have windmill islands a la Feelgood Inc.)
Shock: StormTech Systems (probably the one place that should look high-tech at all)
Ice: Blizzard Builder (duh lol)
Fire: Solaris Sunlight Simulator (This could even be a puzzle-esque room where you use the rays from lightbulbs to burn/melt stuff)
Poison: Acidrain Assemblyline (Though Smog or Haze might also work)
??????: Rainbow Room (a rather brightly colored and garish and freaking creepy boss/arena level where you see Gremlins harvesting monsters, NPCs and what look like Knights to make various colored fluids that are evidently what Rainbows are made of in the Clockworks and lots of weather puzzles/traps... and perhaps an insane fallen weather/sky god from a world that got Clockworks-ed sporting a rainbow sundisk)
