Hi, guys
I'm searching for some ideas for this mod. What do you expect from this Mod. What do you think there will be?
Anyway the mod is almost finished

Levels

All of them are done. I must only fix some things in them. I liked a lot to create these levels. Some of them are amazing

Graphics

I'm waiting Awesome-Keener's reply, but the graphics he gave me three months ago are fantastic. You can see it from the screenshots. He's great

Music

All the tracks are done. 55Aavenue did 3 tracks, XkyRauh did 2 of them, I did my part doing a track and I took the remaining ones on Bitmidi. I love all of them

Sounds

I don't know if Bubbatom is doing them. If yes, please send me a PM or write a post here.

Patching

K1n9_Duk3 is great. He gave me the possibility to create The Electro Company Boss. He's also doing( as I said in another post) a patch to make a new enemy

Sprites Art

They're quite good. troublesomekeen is helping me to do them much better

Since a new year has started how can I not give news of my mod. As many know it is now nominated for the Keen Awards so I want to show you something new:

Here is the new G.I. Guard Drone (Now called Attack Drone only):

This has been improved by me and Ceilick

Ceilick? Haven't heard that name in a while.

When will you release your mod?

Thanks. :D After a while, I decided to improve my creatures giving the best of me. The first to improve was the Attack Drone. I did that with only an eye and grey colours so when I shared it Ceilick sent a feedback telling me that he'll try to improve it and he did it successfully. After that, I created the other frames and the creatures I showed here

Edit:

Good news, guys
In these days I'm trying to complete the remaining things of the game. With Ceilick's help, I created some map tiles and 9/10 levels of 17 are ready.

To-do list:
Map design
Platform
Conveyor Belts improvements

Status
Map design 50-60%
Levels 100%
Music and sounds 100%
Graphics 85%
Sprites 100%
Patching 100%
Ending text 100%

I'm really happy about this great progress :D

Edit: (Again) Finally the beta version is finished

Just a bit. The only big change is the title screen
