I am no longer loving Gruntz as I did some monthz ago, since now I have many other forumz and other gamez to play. I have lotz of CL projectz, all incomplete, but they're good onez and each have a specific idea. Since I'm no longer interested in them for now, I am giving the projectz to whoever wantz to continue them. These are the following: - Winter World - some classical puzzlez, along with some timing required, but most of it is logical. There's no main idea in this big level, just some puzzlez scattered around.
- Space Station Gamma - the Space Team was rebuilded since the Puzzle Arena destroyed most of it. Each grunt was randomly launched on an asteroid, and it's your job to get everyone together until the King!
- Magical Casino - you use many Wandz here. Impossible to play without some new ideas to connect the partz.
- Backwardz - shoot 'em away! Push 'em away! There is timing on this level, but it is not tight and also requirez a lot of thinking.
- Halloween! - Halloween themed CL, in which you can 'eat' the sweetz! Might want to wait until next year's Halloween to release it, if it's done before that date.
- LavaRiver2 - re-design of LavaRiver, with some puzzlez added. Definitely needz work.
- Impossible Mission - this one is really impossible. Too little space to walk, and maybe too much timing. With some work, will be a good one.
- Nightmare - just like the last part of Final Battle, all around the level. No timing, though, or very little.
- ToyLandVI - almost finished, just needz one puzzle, which I can't think of.
- Under Construction (Puzzle Plateaus) - has some complicated puzzlez, and an amazing graphical intro.
So, for anyone wanting a few or many of these CLz, reply here, and I'll e-mail it to you, with some designing tips and the basic idea of the level.  Red is taken by BattlezM. |

I cannot take on anything until after Christmas, but if any are left then, I will take them. For that matter, if you are not planning to frequent this Forum, you could send them all to me now, and I could take on the task of sending them out to interested Designerz.

GooRoo: I'm still checking here daily, and it's still one of my favorite Forums. My problem is that I'm having no more ideas, and no interest in finishing these levelz.  BattlezM: I'm going to find the onez I have here, some I will only be able to get tomorrow. Will send you via e-mail the ones I find. Edit: I think I'll get everything tomorrow... I'm leaving now and don't expect to be back soon. My time is full.

Everyone getz a dry streak now and then. Getting new ideaz for Gruntz is pretty difficult now that so many puzzlez have been made.  |

It took me several months to do "Weaponless" and that's a very simple level. The trouble was that I had the beginning and the end done, but my brain dried up as to how to do something a little bit different in the middle.  I find that if I just walk away from it and do other things  ( including playing other levels) then I will begin to get some new ideas. |

I agree... sometimes I got ideas from completely different things, and inserted them in a CL. My problem is that I always have ideas, but each are for an unique CL, so I have quite a lot of undone levelz. |

There are 2 types of ideas you need to be able to design an efficient gruntz level. First you need a design idea ( SwordGrunt has many of these  ) and then there are puzzle ideaz. Design ideaz outline the entire level and give it it'z title and main concept/puzzle. The puzzle ideaz are all the fillerz that are put in as obstaclez to the gruntz. Puzzle ideaz are by far the hardest these dayz... |

BTW, BattlezM, I'm sending you some levelz right now. Check your e-mail inbox when possible. |

what is wrong with classical puzzlez...  IMHO youre problem is, that you're trying to put battlez into the CLz and make it look like a game... |

I have been willing to design some CLz for some time, but I lack design ideas to make them from start  . I'd love to try to finish some of yours, if you could send them to me. |

Let's wait for BattlezM's word, and I'll send you the ones he prefers not to continue. |

BattlezM opted for Magical Casino and Space Station Gamma. Manu, I recommend Winter World to you, since it's basically composed of classical puzzlez and some different. You can choose of any in the list which are not in red. |

Alright, I think I'm too young for retiring. I've got an idea for ToyLandVI, and that will finish the whole thing. Then I need a beta-tester, anyone who actually is good at puzzlez with toys or good at puzzlez in general. I'll have to 'connect' Backwardz, or at least remember what does what. If I manage to put some puzzlez to finish Winter World, will also do that. However, don't expect those to be released much early as I've got a tough CL to test. |
