Thats pretty unique topic. And because this is is internationala forum, many drugs are banned in some worlds and legal with some worlds. But did you boost your sense make levels using some psychoactive drugs?
I´ll personally most use regular beers. But sometimes used cannabis, only when i have to make some greatest visual levels. I am artist. I have to sometimes boost my visuals skills make visions work well i want.
Which is your way boost your visual sense make levels? I´ll especially ask that persons who make really tough levels.
Cannabis give me some extremely visual ideas. Yes its inlegal in finland. But in most country its legal. How ever as far as i know most artist use psychoactive drugs making those great ideas.
Many (though not all) of my levels were created with at least a little bit of cannabis influence. Some of them, a lot. The same also goes for a lot of NL / Loap development, too.
Edit: And the next post reminded me, caffiene was definitely used for the majority of my work too!
In spite of the title, none of the levels for "Lemmings, Drugs, & Rock 'n Roll" were made under any kind of substance influence. Nor were any of my other packs. Unless caffeine counts. :crylaugh:
I made a fair number of my levels drunk, so, yea. Both conceptualizing and making in whatever editor I was using at the time.
I´ll see im not only one who like make levels little bit drunk or using cannabis. Yes those give some visual ideas.
In fact, Im not want make EXTREME Hard levels anymore. Thats way too frustrating and its not even fun to make. Take tons pen & papers and much replays and finally Armani help me make levels harder. That was painful make extreme levels. Always backroutes and fix again make all again. This take hours and days.
Making easy/medium levels are always fun. Also make hard levels is fun. I can always spend good time. But when i make extreme levels. I have to use all possible boost what i can. I´ll still pass backroutes and unwanted things. That was so frustrating.
Im not personally very nitpicking guy. I am quite relax guy. But i am extremely nitpicking when i make some serious progress like build lemmings levels. I´ll want i did those all best possible what i can.
I did dream up one ToS level when I was ill in the middle of the night (while trying to avoid puking up), but that's about it.
