Not mine, but built by members of my forum. There are about 20 levels released in this year so far! Check out last 10 (http://www.kapitanpazur.piasta.pl/clevels.html) and get DzikenS ' complete anthology here. They are really good, worth trying.

And what about you, guys? Are you working on something at the moment? I'm in the middle of my level based on La Roca, but it won't be released as soon as I would like to because of school, of course Sad

Somehow I missed this thread. As you know my last level ended in disaster so I'm a bit hesitant to start a new one. To make a DzjeeAr statement, maybe I'll get back into it.

The levels I've gotten the most good feedback on are not the ones I spent lots of time and effort on (ie Blackout) but the ones that are simple yet fun (ie Waterfall). So if I do a new level it will be something like Waterfall.

*luckily still owns the biggest level ever made, DHOT Cool

Indeed it was more a matter of setting a score rather than getting good feedback, even though I think the level a good challenge and came out nicely playable.

My hesitance in making new claw levels is still for the sheer amount of time it takes to make them. But hey, it's been a while. I should try and get some new ideas for a new and interesting level.

What I personally find very important in any level is the ambiance, the way it looks. It needs to look interesting and pretty, preferably natural. Of my own levels, Canyon Refuge succeeded best in that regard.

I thought Blackout is bigger Razz

Anyway, if you have time to create something like Canyon Refuge or CBJ, just know I'm really looking forward to playing it Exclamation

Sorry my friend...DHOT is 85kb and according to my custom levels folder there are five levels bigger than that. In descending order they are Blackout, Escape, Encounter in the Deep, Crystal Caverns and EDDBROWN10 (by only 1 kb).

But it's not a contest to design the biggest level and never was. Your level set the standard of quality for many year.

Oh I wasn't talking as much about the level's KB size (I know that had been beaten) but moreso about the general length of the level. I think (hope) DHOT still is the top dog at that list.

By the way, GC, would you check your email and respond for a change? :p I I sent you an email at the 28th of April.

Sorry everyone...I've been AFK for a while.

Teo: I haven't played it properly but it looks really good. Lots of eye-candy, treasure etc and the level was very well design. But you ripped off the tower house idea from Remora Bay!

@ Teo:

What I particularly like about your new level is the addition of adventure-game puzzle elements, such as where you need to run back and forth to trigger the elevators so you can cross.

Challenging, nicely put together with a lot of care for detail, high amounts of eye candy and me managing to get all skulls = HIGH rating from me Cool
