hmm that might be an idea ;) should you be able to see that you are in the balloon or should it be sneaky?

Reminds me of the airship levels in Super Mario 3.

gotta get it working properly first, always have to do some weird stuff to get polyworks when I've downloaded it

The first screenshot looked a bit dubious, the new one looks nice and interesting.

hey, the map is nice (I especially liked the rotors  on the plane and the ship :)) but there were 2 things which could be fixed:

1) The ship looks kind of awkward at the moment. Consider making the baloon holding it a bit bigger, but not too big, so it still looks like a ship and not a blimp :P
2) You don't get the feeling that everything is moving - the map feels pretty much perfectly still. I have messed around a bit, and made a version of the map with moving clouds below the ship - it feels much better IMHO. If you want, I could send it to you so you can see what I mean

1) I want the ballon somewhat small for gameplay + want it to look somewhat akward ;)
2) the whole background is moving its a bit dark though so might not be noticeable. so I made it a bit lighter. still interested in the moving clouds though so post it ;)

Here's link to the updated map + the cloud scenery ;)

And yeah, I have to agree, the background planes are pretty good. And I liked the birds below the ship ^^

well I like the animated clouds and the usage of them however they are bit too cartonish to fit with this map imho.

I think the best animated scenery would be the lightning, not only will it be used in many maps after this, it's also so cool :D. I think it fits in very well at this one
