Knytt Stories Level Previews / Re: [Environmental] The Hermit [3/20/12: DEMO OUT NOW!]
« on: March 24, 2012, 22:16:48 »The intro was superb. Brilliant stuff. The rest of the level felt very promising for a demo, but a bit more unfinished than I expected from the screenshots and all. You've spoiled things a bit by posting too many screenshots, maybe And using old tilesets a bit too frequently... I hope the finished version will have a story, some dialogue, and more knytts walking here and there, populating the landscapeI'm trying to keep it entirely dialogue-free, and keep the storyline as unexplained as possible - I want to leave all that stuff up to the player's imagination, with just a couple nudges and hints here and there.
I haven't found any real problems. I didn't find any of the challenges particularly hard; although it may have been pure luck with the first creature before the run powerup. The tower screens (with the springs and other stuff, x1005 etc.) were a bit uncomfortable because of the many random water deaths, but otherwise OK.
The creature before the run powerup is totally easy to get by, you just jump over him and walk through the tunnel.
I really like the way the water looks underneath the tower rooms, but I'll put a floor there and probably recycle that water pit sorta look somewhere else in the level.
Thanks for the feedback!
