Null [environmental]
« on: December 14, 2009, 01:42:13 »
This level is an attempted remake of my first level, so far. It is about a girl who lives alone with her mom and decided to explore the outside world. Much of my old level will be imported/upgraded for Null.
I need 2-5 beta testers, so if you are interested, please post so.

I hope you're aware that putting both 'environmental' and 'challenge' tags on your level breaks Nifflas' rule that explicitly asks users not to do this.

The completed Knyttlevels.com will not accept such levels, and the content of the temporary KS level board here will be erased eventually, so if you plan your level to be available on the long-term... ;)

It can't be puzzle-like but still focused on environment?
But ok.. Thanks :)

You're welcome. :)

One important criterion for the Environmental tag is that the level lacks any sort of challenge. This makes it incompatible with almost all other type of levels.

I agree that it'd be nice to differentiate between challenges/puzzles that put an emphasis on making the surroundings pretty, and ones that focus on the challenge alone and use minimal environment only. Until there is a system that does that, the distinction will have to go in the description, I guess. :)

I agree it's an annoying rule, but it's there for a reason:  The "Environmental" designation is meant for exploration levels that have few challenges - like the original Knytt.

Thanks for pointing this out, SiamJai; this is a pet peeve of mine and I'm glad someone who's in authority is actually making a point of it.

"Null" has a different meaning in English.  Null doesn't even mean zero; when something is null, it is a void.  In mathematics and programming, "null" means a nonexistent or undefined value.

(google translate English "null" to German says: 1. nichtig, 2. null und nichtig, 3. ungültig, 4. unwirksam)

I'll beta test if you're still looking for people!

I could beta test if you still need people. I like environmental levels so I can't wait to see how yours will turn out.

I'd like to beta-test as well if you're still in need.  I love, love, love environmental levels, and every time I play a Knytt Stories level, I make sure to push it to its limits.  I believe that would make me a great beta-tester.

Good to hear!

And I don't think it's possible to necro-post on your own level development thread. ;-)
