Create bonus blocks for the story mode worlds

[korbanpapa]

So, for the story mode can we have bonus blocks for the different worlds? for Antarctica we have the classic blue bonus block, but for the forest world, shouldn't we have a green bonus block instead of blue? something like:





For the tropical world maybe yellow, then for the cloudy peak, something like red, grey, or cyan.

stuff like bonus blocks and checkpoints based on world themes wont be added. although i will share this forest bonus block someone made on the old forums a while back

Ok, is it just too much code for the tilemaps and sprites?

Well, even if I put away the fact that we lack graphical capacities, there are fundamental problems with you design. Namely that there are already bonus blocks coloured differently, which have different function. And there are also info blocks. So you would have to deploy alternative sprites for them too. If they differed only by colour, there would be soon so many colours, so keeping a track of which colour does what would get too hard soon.

An alternative idea is making them completely different, not only revoloured variants of the original. That is valid and has been already done by some people. Just note that it's not only about redesigning one bonus block sprite, it is about redesigning all the admissible variants and also info blocks.

[korbanpapa]

True, i see your point. and that would probably get confusing for each world as well.

[korbanpapa]

yeah ok, it's a scrap

[Hypernoot]

It's not a total scrap, it just needs to be reframed correctly. And it is way more work than you originally expected. For example, the add-on TuxQuest has 7 worlds and each worlds has its own bonus blocks and matching info blocks.

yeah, i dunno, I'll probably just put it in an updated version of my supertux world. The guy that made the desert world did a pretty good job with the yellow bonus blocks. I'll probably do something like that if it's not used. Either way, we'll see how it goes.
