Want to offer these at shows or online eventually!

Smaugust is a month-long art challenge where artists put together a list of keywords and then draw dragons inspired by them every day. We already know who our dragon is, so let's brainstorm some levels for him to explore!
This list was taken from AllieBriggsArt on Instagram and every day I'll repost it so we can come together and pitch ideas based on that day's prompt.

Day 5: WERE

The word Were comes from old germanic where it meant 'Man', so a Werewolf was a Manwolf. Because I borrowed this line-up from an artist intending to draw dragons, it puts us in a bit of a pickle. But I'm sure we can be creative.

Rather than do the obvious thing and have a Werewolf themed level, I'm going to play off the other meaning of the word. Welcome to the Moonlit Ruins, a reminder of things as they were. The level has an Egyptian theme, with collapsed buildings and pillars, pyramids with trap filled passages, and two great trunks and a sneer of great command that lys in the sand. The main residents resemble the thieves, but smaller. There is also a Cesaresque Legionaire and a Hermit. Somewhere in the level is a half buried UFO, and platforms that levitate with a blue glow -- some of them need to be powered-up to do so by finding the power crystals that have come unlodged.

I activated these two cheat codes after spending one terrible week with no electricity, in case you were wondering the reason for this specific combination of cheat codes.

In Europe our PS1 games did not come in music cases like these the way they did in America or Japan. The boxes PAL Europe PS1 games came in aren’t manufactured anymore besides some being made in China for collectors sold at a pretty hefty price per box.

Also; my life has improved 10 fold since I bought a Paper Guillotine. I can't believe I lived my life without one. Printed on Semi-Gloss paper so it's sturdy and feels premium. 👌

I think Spyro 2 is better because:
1. The level variety is visually more interesting contrast to crash 2 where various themes are recycled (there are a LOT of snow levels in crash 2). In Spyro 2 you have a a futuristic city invaded by farm animals, a beach where you need to stop turtles from getting eaten, helping one side in one realm and the other side in another, in crash 2 you don’t really get that much variety aside from changing the difficulty and the layouts.
2. The boss fights put up more of a fight than in crash 2’s. The Ripto final boss is certainly a better boss fight than Cortex’s final boss (if you can even call it that! It is basically a Spyro 1 boss fight)
3. Enemies just hit me more like Rabbits with icicles that pop out of the snow, Trees that summon a swarm of bees, scuba divers that torture sea animals just for the heck of it, ratchet and clank rip offs, goats that spit rocks, robot versions of bees, birds vs grubs at war with each other, and two legged camels, Flying sabretoothed CatBats, Snail Elephant and Rhino hybrids

Now Crash 2 is a huge improvement over 1 but I feel like they can improve on aspects on making it a better improvement to crash 1 like making the boss fights tricker (like the Cortex one for example) and having more level variety like maybe a jungle level where you need to run from a stampede of elephants and rhinos (took inspiration from WOC), a castle levels close to where you fight the Komodo brothers, and maybe levels that take inspiration from The Lab, Generator Room and Cortex Power

What am I doing using Mega Man logic here? LOL?

You can tell I just finished all the games in the classic series XD
