Re: Entity #37 - Need greenlit

So, as it is right now, there just isn't enough in the article for me to greenlight it. Right now it's a description of a spooky thing that kills you, and that just isn't enough. There is some potential here though, but you definitely need to add something. If I were you, I would add some sort of log of someone who is exploring the level and encounters one of them. I feel like it could be interesting to show someone's experience of trying to stay calm in a situation where they are essentially walking on eggshells. It's your choice though, but you definitely need to add something more. Let me know if you add something, and I can take another look!

WATCH ME NOT GET SNIPED PT 2 WOOOO

Ah, I see. I do hope your idea gets noticed by one of the mods, you clearly have a lot prepared and I would love to read this on-site! You could probably PM one of the staff on the Critique Team, or go on the Discord server (although I'm sure you know that already).

We'd just take their word for it since there isn't really a way to prove it.

The Artist does have some relation to them, but that would fit being elaborated on in a Tale of its own. I'm planning on writing a few tales and an entity entry for the Drawn Ones so that you guys can read more of the lore I've cooked up for them. The Sanity Sisters are not related to them, but they are on good terms.

I don't like the implication that this is the only way to access Cluster II, especially given the level numbers were designated by the M.E.G.
Even with that issue aside, this is… a bit underwhelming for the 1000th Level. It's a place that makes you lose sanity points and shames you for the things you did wrong. If I wanted that I'd just talk to my dad.

Speaking of, I have a question, if the photo you use for an article is something you took yourself and edited, how can we prove it?

Not a mod, sorry, but I do want to say that I'm intrigued by this idea. I like this concept of the Drawn Ones being a functioning society, Although, I do have a question.
You stated here that these rooms are filled with many, diverse types of art, any we could think of in fact. So, with this in mind, are the Sanity Sisters and the Artist related to this level? After all, the Sanity SIsters deal with the musical kind of art, and the Artist… well, she paints.

Don't worry, I don't remember where it came from, but I know the picture is definitely CC. ;)

Level 321- The Infinite Art Studio

Paint Palette 24 Jan 2021 01:14
in discussion Writing Help / Help: Ideas Critique » Level 321- The Infinite Art Studio

Page Type: Level

Elevator Pitch: The 322nd Level is an infinite art studio with near infinite floors of potentially infinite width, and length. Long winding and colorful hallways with bedrooms, art studios filled with all sorts of art supplies for any type of art you can think of and ballet practice rooms. Its theme is art and creation. It seems to be the main focus, in fact.
But it isn't, is it?

Central Narrative: Recently, it has been confirmed that this level exists. This level is themed around art of many sorts and seems to be very peaceful as levels go. But don't count on that being a constant. It has an entity native to it, many of whom have a functioning society. You will rarely run into them, but if you do, and they are not hostile, tread lightly. Be kind with the Drawn Ones.

Hook/Attention-Grabber: The Level is art themed, more specifically on creating art, than just observing it, like in Level 57. It's centering on creation is something I believed would be one of the things that would make it stand out as an intriguing and clever concept for a level.

Additional Notes: I'm hoping to make an Entity page for the Drawn Ones soon once this gets a greenlight.
