New levels are typically idle content - stuff that we're aware of, but not actively working on - because the task is too complex, or not compelling enough. Mostly there are ideas floating around, but to actually make a fully working level (complete with meta-data) is not exactly fun. | New levels are typically idle content - stuff that we're aware of, but not actively working on - because the task is too complex, or not compelling enough.

Another problem is that the bridge is even more gigantic than the ACC level. As you can see, it has a ramp at either end that goes down 2 floors, and those floors are about half as tall as Oni's original flight of stairs (on the right). If the bridge is scaled up to match that, you get something like this... | Another problem is that the bridge is even more gigantic than the ACC level.

Then the bridge no longer fits between the original towers, and one has to toy some more with half-bridges, bridges with the midsection taken out, etc... maybe it's all for the better. Anyway, it looks megalomaniac in an Oni sort of way, which is comforting, and it's more architecturally sound than the original geometry. | Then the bridge no longer fits between the original towers, and one has to toy some more with half-bridges, bridges with the midsection taken out, etc... maybe it's all for the better.

Of course it will take Forever(TM) before it is Oni-ready, but at least we are now at a stage where we have imported completely new level geometry and viewed it in OniBrowser ([http://geyser.oni2.net/edition/levels/andreika/imported.png HERE]; monochrome is just a temporary substitute for actual textures and vertex shading). | ||
