GOLF - Candy Mountain

RogelioD · Jan 2014

Very rarely are humans allowed to visit "Candy Mountain Miniature Glof Resort".

Only the universe's Mini-Golf elite are allowed to pass through the gate to gaze upon the wonder that is "Candy Mountain".

Will you accept the challenge and putt along-side the Universe's elite?

Do you have what it takes to take a lick out of "CANDY MOUNTAIN"?

This is what the title reminded me of

Can't see the imbedded link but if that's a link to Charlie the Unicorn goes to Candy Mountain... RogelioD make it so!

RogelioD · Jan 2014

There will most certainly be a reference to Charlie the Unicorn embeded in there as well as inspiration from Sugar Rush from Wreck it Ralph and Ice Cream Mountain from Rugrats [!]

With that said, most of this will be of my design completely made from candy and sweets!

Looking forward to coming up with some awesome Mini-Golf design as well as some awesome game art design!

Super pumped!

There's so many great ideas you can do with this concept! Looking forward to seeing your posts. That Rugrats picture just made me so happy, I remember that episode!

just don't let them take your kidney

I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with this

Tobbo · Jan 2014

This is such a cool idea!

qtbon · Jan 2014

Excited for this idea. The minigolf episode of Rugrats and the ice cream mountain was one of the first things to pop into my head when reading the contest description.

That's one sweet idea

RogelioD · Jan 2014

@Fashoomp: I'm definitely hoping to be as creative as possible! and yes that Rugrats episode was awesome haha memories =P

@mr gelmir: Unlike Charlie, no kidneys will be harmed in the making of this level xD

@Tobbo: Thank you! I quite fancy it myself; hopefully I do it justice.

@qtbon: Thanks! The Rugrats episode is actually what sparked this idea of in the first place. I'm hoping to do it, and the idea, justice!

@redhonour:

So I'm finding this competition might be a little rough because I work here at Turbine from 9-5 every day, but I'm going to try to get in as much time on the weekends/nights/lunch as I can. Still blocking out my top down layout map. Much still to do!

This is what comes to mind when I saw this post. Candy Rush game from Wreck-It-Ralph.

RogelioD · Jan 2014

@UltraLrod Thanks! sweet ass reference! (no pun intended =P )

So, this is pretty much the design that I came up with for the course itself. Not trying to overscope this (like I usually do) so I am trying to go a little more simple with it. Going to spend the rest of the weekend fleshing out the design and art. Much to do!

I hope King doesn't find this... :O

RogelioD · Jan 2014

@bb0x LOLOL

I think I'm going to change the name to CANDY MOUNTAIN SAGA: KING EDITION xD

RogelioD · Jan 2014

So, unfortunately I didn't get a ton done this weekend for various reasons but at work today I kind of had a breakthrough in the way I was thinking about the design of this hole. Will definitely be going to town on it tonight and hoping to have enough to get into engine soon! If I do enough tonight I may even have an update tonight!

RogelioD · Jan 2014

Okay, so here is some work!

Think of it as some sort of proof-of-concept. Trying to make one section fairly fleshed out and then propagate the theory down to the other parts of the level. Still got a ways to go but it feels good to just let loose and just be creative!!

JamesR · Jan 2014

Cool looks good, I was thinking about doing candy around the edges of my course, but thought it might be too much. I'm just going to use a few umbrella handles. They look really good in yours. I'll probably stick to bricks unless I think of something else.

Great looking, keep going.

Tobbo · Jan 2014

This is looking great so far!
