Nope.
If you look at the post dates I've abandoned this thread some time ago. Eroticdad was in charge of this but I haven't heard from him. I actually wouldn't mind finishing it tbh, but that's only if I know what direction to take it. Spriting bits and bobs for me is ok, it's leisurely, but spriting an entire z-level is a bit of a commitment, especially when I have very little source material to work with. If an admin wants to jump on this train go ahead, you could have a cool z-level on your hands.
With reference to carcosa, I dunno. With making the z-level, I had a concept in my head to gear the sprites towards, so I constructed a storyline.
The story behind this z-level is that it is situated on a planet with a very powerful magnetic pull, that would send any and all space-craft that would attempt to land or survey the planet plummeting to the ground. As a result the signal you receive from telescience is a crashed nanotrasen ship. You port in there, and no surprises the crew is gone. You search around the water-drenched landscape to find that the survivors are dead, drove insane by parasite mushrooms or dragged off to an area unbeknown to you as of yet.
(I also had this funny idea of there being 1 survivor, who would look like Alan from Jumanji and would start following the first player he sees crying about how he is saved and complimenting said player. He would also helpful shake the player, if the player is ever downed)
The unbeknown area in question is this Aztec structure where the survivors joined a weird cult involving the color yellow whom would torture and sacrifice any evac and medical crew nanotrasen sent for the survivors in the name of their "king". The cult you find there are horribly mutated and will attack on sight. You find that the "king" is a disembodied creature whom bends people to his will to do things of horrifying nature. Event Horizon anyone?
But regards to carcosa in an actual spriting sense, I wanted something to juxtapose against the gloomy swamp. I suppose I could use my wizard wall and floors for this purpose.
I also needed something as a boss-battle, and to tie it into other z-levels. I personally think a boss battle could still work, now with rajijah or w/e you spell it, you could have a boss battle where other players are potentially hazardous. I dunno about the carcosa cogs is doing, but yer, I'm still into this project for any go-ahead and I'll flesh out, alter or re-purpose any sprite needed.
