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.

Arguably, SketchUp has become a tool of choice for many architects and designers, when it comes to sketching quick ideas, and somehow many of those drafts would look quite at home in Oni.

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). | ||
