Welp, Ville Lumiere is probably somewhere around 15-20% complete in terms of bare-bone level design with tiles and whatnot. That's something to look forward to I guess.

Rapid update post:

• Starting FLOODED PAST tomorrow, it should be done between next week-end and the Wednesday after that. I have a few ideas, including for graphics, but also gameplay. This one'll be interesting, because we have yet to see a level revolving that much around water in this series.
• VILLE LUMIÈRE is canceled until further notice, as Harmless seems to have given up progress on his level. I might re-take the idea of VILLE LUMIÈRE though, but without using Harm's level. Indeed, his level looks nothing like Paris (sorry, but it's the truth).
• So, to replace VILLE LUMIÈRE, I am introducing MECHA STORM! It is the name I gave to BY's level that he also canceled (unfortunately). I'll continue it for him, as it looked really epic. (VILLE LUMIÈRE will most likely come back later).

Just forget that level as a whole. It sucked anyway.

Hey, if its any help at all, maybe I could continue Ville Lumière? I have some inspiration for a city level right now, and I've been to Paris so hopefully I can keep the atmosphere.

Sure, MP3, I will gladly accept your help. I'm going to send you the level tomorrow or something.

Change of plans!

I... barely started Flooded Past yet, but I've been thinking: I guess I need a break from SMC: I just feel like it is the only thing I can do anymore (since that recent failure in the 26th LDC of me not getting the motivation to finish a slow-paced level like Lethal). So I'm just going to prove myself wrong with a level I had on my mind since the 23rd LDC. Just so I'm not only remembered thanks to this series (even though it's epic and I love it).

This means in no way that this series is ending.

A long time has past without anything happening.

If I can ever find some time between LDC's (or if there will ever be a long gap between 2 LDC's, just like between the 26th and 27th), I can give a shot for one level or two. Or even more.

Has it really been 8 months?

Darn. It surely is time to bring this series back from the dead. I'm going to restart Flooded Past... today, as a matter of fact, so admitting I don't run out of motivation midway because I'm unhappy with what I've done (which is what happened last time), I can make it for next week-end. Woo?

Also I mentioned it earlier, but MECHA STORM (name not final, another highly possible name is RUST STORM) is now officially a thing. It used to be BY's level, but he gave up a little bit after starting, but the start looked so good I have to continue it. I don't know when I'll do that though, probably something like after Heliopolis. It takes place inside a fleet of ships which is stuck in the Arctic ice, and is slowly decaying (you could say it's an Ice/Factory-themed level). So if anyone is interested by this idea, or if anyone is willing to make another level for SMC, feel free to suggest.

Let's do this

I wanna pick GHOST DEPTHS! (is it the replacement for VILLE LUMIERE? And is Yuri's HANGING CITADEL still part of the series?)

I'm still doing progress on it. Sorry for all the delay though

Nah, Ghost Depths is part of the original 10 levels I planned so, unfortunately, I'll be making these levels (original 10 levels are all the current levels in the first post except Rust Storm + the final level I'm keeping secret)

Now, if you want to make an Underground or Haunted level, there is nothing stopping you ^_^ It'll just have to not be too similar to Ghost Depths.

And I guess it's good to know Hanging Citadel is still in. I didn't know so I removed it from the first page. I'll add it back.
