Featured Download of February

Another month has passed, this time it was a month with almost no good levels. The best uploads of the month were tileset conversions.

And the latter is the Featured Download. IC-IF Medivo was part of the project IC-IF(Impressive Flashback) but the author decided it wasn’t of high enough quality, and thus the tileset was scrapped. The other tilesets are still secret.

I played the example level a few times and it was fun, especially the end of the example level (with the springs and the 3D bolls) but I’m not here to talk about the example level. It’s all about the tileset.

Let’s start off by saying that the tileset has 4 versions/palettes. The fourth palette has a weird colour, that’s not the colour most people like I think. Palette 1 is red to look like JJ1 Medivo. Palettes 2 and 3 are the ones from the original Medivo sets (dark and light pink).

There is enough eye candy in this tileset. Tiles from JJ1 Medivo are taken and also the tiles from JJ2 Medivo are still there. The tileset now has lava falls, the tiles from the original Medivo have been changed a bit(the colour) and everything else is just fine.

The tileset has 960 tiles, which is pretty much. There are enough animations to make with the tileset. Every tile in the tileset looks useful, so that’s good.

Now on to the usefulness. This tileset might be hard to use for some people, but it’s not too hard. If you don’t know how to use a tileset then you can always look at other levels with the tileset. Most of the animations in the tileset are easy to make, like in the example level. Overall this tileset shouldn’t be too hard to use.

Even if there will be a better version of this tileset, this one is good enough for now. I don’t think this will be overused, but it will be used a few times.

Next month we will have better uploads. I know people who are making packs(including myself) so see you next month!
