Level Variation

I hate to be that guy...but I'm gonna be that guy

Is there any chance of getting levels that aren't spa/beach/island themed? The current release I think has explored that theme to the furthest it could ever possibly go. I live in south florida so I might be a bit biased, but I'm kind of tired of beach/ocean levels by now. Something like a winter forest level or night-time city-scape level would be a welcome change of pace (or maybe even a jungle or rainforest level). I don't think the new level is bad in any way btw, I just feel like YL is a bit lacking in variety with the post-modern style that seems to dominate the current level design.

Also, food for thought: any chance of levels with dynamic time settings or variants for morning/afternoon/night? Would be nice to have a slider for this (also hilarious if it ties into snapshots and you have characters fucking from morning till sundown and so on)

No need to hate to be that guy! All feedback is welcome. I'm glad you're sharing this.

If you have images that would be the absolut best way for us to understand exactly what kind of environmnet you'd like to see.

Dynamic time is trickier. It would require more performance since the reflections would change with dynamic time. I think variations of the same level might be more likely to happen. Thanks for planting the idea tho!

OMG the new level is the island from Lugia App from Odes? really? Or is just a original island similar from the Lugia App?

It's a completely differnt map. I didn't even make it. Pegashis, our level designer, did. As you might have noticed, the lugia map did not have a house in it. ^^

I was thinking more like a rain forest or dragon's lair level would be cool. Y'know, like Smaug's lair, where it's just a cave filled to the brim with gold or something.

I would love to see a cozy log cabin map at night-time with a fireplace. Something like this:

... Maybe without the sofas and chairs with jarring patterns and with compete wooden flooring (without the tiles).

@odes I think it'll be cool to have some kind of open forest: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c3/Podlaskie_-_Czarna_Białostocka_-_Puszcza_Knyszyńska_-_Góry_Czumażowskie_-_E_-_v-NW.JPG

or maybe even a castle-like environment: http://seniorpaws.com/wod/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/1024ThroneRoomRender01.jpg

Howdy, Stranger!
