Well hello, m'friends.  I'm here once again with a preview of a level I'm working on.  I don't know too much about where it's going or how it's going to work out, but we'll see, eh?  It'll most likely have that "James Vaughan vibe" of some crazy story about summat or another and of course have some wacky secret area that pulls you from that story for just a moment or two.

Well, onto the screens!

Also, a shoutout to bulbapuck for this awesome tileset!

Development Showcase / [Gothic-y Acoustic Ballad] The Passing
« on: October 27, 2013, 08:40:55 »
So I just made this song.  It's meaning is deep for me as it's about a pretty crazy time in my life before I really became who I am today.

Give it a listen and let me know what you think and such:

The Passing

So I have this piece of music that I would like some help with if anybody thinks they could do it.  Its a bit "theatrical-ish" and such and is about vampires.  I'll post a link to the music and a soundcloud tag if it works.  I only ask that the lyrics for the parts of the song that will require the vocals be written by you.  Also, it doesn't have to be a guy, it can be a girl as well, I can easily switch out m'boy with m'dear.  :)

Knytt Stories Level Releases / [Challenge][Lunatic] - Caged In
« on: June 25, 2013, 03:36:51 »
Just because you think you know someone, doesn't mean you actually do... Not until you dig a little deeper into their psyche, that is.  What they've done, who they've done it to.  You'd never know about some people....



Well, here it is for all of you good people!  It isn't very long or anything, short and to the point, I guess.  There is a secret area somewhere if you feel so inclined to locate it.  I wanted to make this a lot bigger than it is and include different endings and such.  But man, I don't have the time to even work on something this small! 

Anyhoo!  Do your best to enjoy it! :)

So I've decided to make a new level.  It wont be too large or long, just something to do in my spare time (like I have very much with 2 kids and such! XD ).

Plot:

Adriana finds herself Caged In.  The only person around is a cloaked man and his only advice for her is to go down.  What awaits?  What will you find out about Adriana?

Spoiler: Screenshots (click to show/hide)

Well, I decided to just make it a Lunatic level.  It is nearing completion and awaits some testing.  It will feature only six challenges as far as I'm thinking.  Hopefully fun challenges for you and your family \o/ .

Also, it will feature music by me. :)

Development Showcase / Hey guys, just wanna say something :)
« on: January 01, 2011, 20:44:03 »
Well, as some of you may know, I am a daddy now!  I just wanted to come and inform you all that it is amazing and to show off pictures of my lil' Victoria Francesca Vaughan!  :)

Hah, ignore the the two screens from when I was actually working on DV:Ch2 and all.

Also, I will be enlisting in the Air Force.  It is a life changing decision, but one that I am making not just for myself, but for my family as well.  Good times, folks, good times.

About Nifflas' Website and Forum / Meh
« on: June 19, 2009, 22:39:33 »
I think, for everyone's sake.  The changes made to the forum concerning "misspelled words" needs to be lifted.  This is stupid and not funny, it is annoying, and when you can not understand some posts because of it, it makes a problem. 

Sure some people forget to space OF and COURSE sometimes, sometimes people don't space AT and LEAST, but is this a crime?  I mean come on, sure, you had fun with it last night, but you should have reversed everything back to normal by now.  We cant even write the acronym for laugh out loud with out it being changed to SPR?NKELD?NKEL. 

But hey, if anything we can just make the Niff Forum into an even bigger joke, just go and replace Knytt and WaDF and other Niff names to something else, who cares any ways right?  Not the people trying to read posts seriously, no, not them OFCOURSE.

Alright, SO, I've been secretly working on this since the news about DV not being around anymore.  This is to show you what was being worked on, the first area was complete, after the first area things just go by really fast as I wanted to use as much stuff as I could to showcase what was given to me to use.  Everything is available unless the creators say otherwise, I don't mind it now that the level is released and I don't think any of the creator's will have any qualms about it either, but you may want to ask them first, or maybe they can post here to let you know it is indeed alright.  Also, this is not just a KSA level, it can be used in KSA for different effects, but it is totally playable in regular KS :D .

(Disclaimer:  Do not think of this as DV at all, that is why the name was changed to Lament.  It features no voice acting and has no relevance to the DV plot at all, so just think of this as a stand alone level.)

Let me know what you think of how everything turned out.  Also, there is a secret somewhere.  It isn't very hard to find and I will let you know it is in the final area of the level, but that is all :D

Also, I have made a commentary kind of track about DV, it is about 20 minutes long and goes into a BIT of detail about DV, you'll have to excuse the huge amount of "Umms" but I was nervous and was try to recall a lot right there on the spot.  If anyone is interested in that, let me know and I will upload and post that up. 

I want to thank all of you for everything you have ever and will ever do for me! 

And this is officially James Vaughan's last Knytt Stories level to ever be made :O .  I hope you enjoy it!

Well, I posted up my other old one, why not this one, eh, eeehhh?

This one is more serious and A LOT bigger.  I worked for a good long time on this and this was my first level ever.  I'd like to see what some of the newer folk would say about it :D

Edit: How about a link?  XD

I decided to post this up here for now so the newer people can have a go at it.  It wont be able to be hosted on the KS Level archive when it is done, so enjoy it while you can!  XD

Give it a listen and let me know what you think!

Doden Vantar:  Chapter One:  A Harsh Winter's Night

   Welcome, this is a tale, be it true or just myth, of a Knytt named, Aden.  All of her life, she has been an outcast, the black sheep of the family, or at least, so she thought.  She is now twenty-one years old and living by herself, her family comes to see her from time to time, but she never notices, just as she never notices the state she is in.  Delusion sets in, almost as if dementia has a hold on her brain, tearing every shred of happiness from her, grinding her hopes and dreams to nothing.  But little did she know, this was all preplanned, her destiny has already been written, nothing can change who she is, no one can take her away from this reality.  The darkness will have her, one way or another, the darkness never gives up, the darkness, never, gives up.



After almost a year, I present to you all,

 
Spoiler: Doden Vantar! (click to show/hide)


 Me, Mr. Monkey, and BloxMaster have all been working hard on this, all of this work was for all of you.  We aim to please and I think you will be more than pleased with what is in A Harsh Winter's Night.  The next Chapter will be even more fun, with more in it, a lot more screens, and a lot more story.  Hopefully more art next time!

I want to hear everything you have to say about it, be it good, be it bad.  I'll take everything to heart, and fix the next Chapter accordingly!

Also!  This is VERY important!  YOU MUST DOWNLOAD Knytt Stories Advanced (KSA) TO PLAY THIS LEVEL!  The topic is located HERE



Everything should be sorted out now.  It had nothing to do with the level!  :DD  Just remember to read up on how KSA works before trying to play :D

Development Showcase / EarthBound015's Art Stuff
« on: March 17, 2009, 21:20:49 »
Well, I enjoy drawing.  I'm not very good at it, but I do enjoy it.  So, I thought I would share the stuff I draw with you guys from now on!  I'll try to draw something new each day, but that might not happen :P .

The first one I have for you is named, Distant

Here is my next one, named, Personal Hell

A new one, named after the person I drew it of, Mike Bowen  All in the name of fun m'friends.

A new one here!  It is called The World

And yet another one!  Named Abducted


Music

I'm going to also put any new music I make here, so I don't have to have all these different topics floating around :)

This song is named My Basement and is just something I was having fun with.  All the lyrics are off the top of my head and so is the music.  So if parts sound off, it is most likely because, One, I was playing and singing at the same and I haven't done that in a long time, and Two, I'm not much of a singer :)  It is a strange song, strange indeed.

My Basement

I also have a new song!  It is named:

BoundForEarth

Development Showcase / [Work In Progress] - Almost Human
« on: March 08, 2009, 21:04:17 »
Okay, so I know I haven't updated in a while, and I still haven't, but!  I will, I'm just working on other more important stuff right now!  XD 

Introduction:

Many things can happen to a person to change the way he or she lives, but the way it changes is up to the person that's doing the changing.  One may see a good thing as a bad thing, or vice versa, causing things to become askew and change a variety of fates in the universe.  No one really knows how things work or how their actions can effect everyone, but, as you may have guessed, the entities above and below know everything and try their best to get their way.  The battle between good and evil has always existed but has just begun.

Chapter One:  Heaven? Hell? Earth?

"The Earth isn't as it seems," I began,  "Its what dreams are made of," I paused, but only for a second, "at least for us.  The Earth-Dwellers are lucky and don't even know it, how pitiful all of them are!" I was getting angry, but with who to tell it to?  Yes, who?  Who could I trust, was there anyone, anything?  "If I could have one chance to be there, and by there I mean in the same realm as them, I'd show them how to actually live their lives to the fullest, I'd show them, I'd show 'em all." I clenched my fist in desperation, trying to grab my freedom.  "But, alas, I'm stuck here, a prisoner by creation."  I imagine my cell is Earth frequently, I know He knows, but I know something He doesn't know, something only I know, something that will get me out of here.  I've just got to find the right...people...for the job.

I decided to step out of my cell to get some fresh "air" and to think about who I could trust in this unworldly place.  Everything is just so bright here, so vibrant, so loving, caring...easy.  I want a challenge, I want something to strive for.  Alas, I come to the conclusion, my only friend is the pet I keep in my cage, the pet I refer to isn't a pet per say, but...a window...friend of sorts..."But who exactly is he?"  I asked myself, "Ah!  Yes!  A valid question!" I began to answer myself, slowly becoming aware of my sanity dwindling down.  I shake my head and begin to question how sane I really am, I begin to question why, who, what, where...how...yes...how...that was the only question that mattered, the only one that rang in my slowly decaying mind...How...

I was back in my hole now, waiting for an answer to my previous question, when out of nowhere, it appeared to me!  The answer was so clear!  It rang throughout my soul, tearing at my heart!  The answer was to be found in Hell, the only place an Angel like me could go.  "But dare I turn my back on Him?  Dare I defy all that I should believe in just to become a mere mortal?"  My window friend nodded his head and grinned an unsound smile.  I clenched my fist and crashed it down onto the table in front of me, "Never shall I let myself be jailed again!  Never will I let myself be confined to eternity in a padded cell!  Never shall I forget my dream!  My will shows through and there's nothing you can do to stop me!"  and before I could utter another word, my whole world faded to black as I felt a tearing pain in my back...What is done...is done...

There is a windshield in my heart, and everyone around me are bugs so smeared and scarred upon it, their death being my sustenance.  All I wanted was death, all I needed was death, all I ever planned was...death.  It was indeed a happy "lifestyle" if you will.  It wasn't until he showed up that my plans had come together...

I awoke in an unknown place, chained and seemingly forgotten.  All I could feel was sorrow and an unknown pain, a pain that ached inside, a pain so incredible...that I began chuckling to myself.  I was a fallen angel now, I had turned my back upon Him and there was no turning back, I had to find a way out of this predicament, but first I needed a plan for several reasons, one being that I was chained and another being i was in Hell, nowhere near my destination of being human...I was now nothing more than a Fallen Angel, a demon, if you will.  It was now time to contemplate my next move, for all I knew, It was drawing nearer with every thought...closer....with every ache...

I was on my way, my freedom to be had!  Nothing was going to stop me, no angel, no demon, no God...But It...It was another story....I sighed as I realized It's presence was getting closer, not only could I feel It, I could also hear It...  It was tearing down the corridor to my left, crushing, smashing, devouring...I dared not to blink for I knew time was nonexistent, and the next time I opened my eyes my dream could well be crushed, not to mention my soul Reaped of its power.  I was one of the Fallen now, and It knew...A smash was heard followed by a low rumble as the wall to the left tore down, and as the dust cleared, there It was...waiting...for me...for my soul...

Chapter Two:  It Waits...

It roared, its sound so high pitched, so loud, everything seemed to shake.  It lunged forward, looking me straight in the eyes, showing me nothing but blackness, evil, death, everyone...everything forgotten was staring into my soul...It was over....nothing could save me now...I was worthless, nothing but a forgotten memory now...for an instant I wished I was back in my cell, but shook it out of my mind....

"You..." a voice rang out followed by a deep chuckle, my eyes tore open, "You are the one named Voltaire...I expected so much more..." a high pitched laugh tore through the darkness as I noticed the voice was coming from behind It...  The laugh stopped as suddenly as it began, "YOU....ARE....NOTHING TO ME!"  The voice was angry...angry...sore...almost a growl...  "IF IT WERE UP TO ME YOU'D BE REAPED HERE AND NOW....but alas...His mind has been made..."  I started to wonder who He was, was it who I thought it was..."Who...if I may ask...is...He?" slowly, I got the words uttered...  "You'll find out soon enough...." The voice seemed to fade as It turned away and followed the fading voice.

In an instant, I was freed, the chains opened and I slammed to the ground, knocking the wind out of me...  I shot to my feet and ran to the broken wall...It was everything I imagined...  It was Hell...  Legions of evil stood in the pit below as the newcomers came through...  They were savagely beaten, some thrown into the black fires....pure evil....insanity...I was beginning to smile..."This isn't such a bad pit stop after all...."

"It's not every day we see someone like you here..."  a shaky but strong voice rang out from behind me.  "I know exactly what you are doing, and I plead with you, do not do it...  Go back to where you came from, live as though this had never happened."  I turned around quickly, anger in my eyes, intensity in my voice, "You...  you have NO IDEA... NONE, what I am going through!"  I opened my mouth to speak again, but was interrupted by the man, "There is a saying here, Voltaire...  'None of us is as great as all of us.' Can you comprehend what that means?  Do you have the brain capacity to understand?"  I was getting angrier, "This is Hell Voltaire, aptly named if I do say so myself."  I smiled, "Well, ignorance is bliss is it not?  Who cares about all of you?  You are in Hell for a reason, no one cares why, no one cares what you did to belong here."  Ignorance is bliss...  I was a blissful man, well, soon to be man.  My freedom was in my sight, and this man getting in the way was annoying, "I suggest you stay out of my way, unless you really want to end up like those poor bastards down there."  I tilted my head back to illustrate who I was talking about, "Which, I don't think you do."  The man laughed, "Rotting in this place is what I deserve, yes, that is true, but many of these people here do not deserve to be, not that you care.  You have no idea what you are doing, but soon enough, you will feel the effects of what you have done."  The man turned and walked away, in an instant, he was gone.  I turned and crept into the passage, yes, passage into manhood, my life was about to begin, no one was going to stop me.  My soul growing ever stronger, ever darker.  I was becoming an unstoppable force... Or so I felt.

A smashed window can represent many a thing... It could be someone wanting to get out, or signify someone trying to get in... But worst of all, it could also represent death.  A cruel and unforgiving master, his touch full of hatred... His heart, non-existent.  He comes in many shapes, sizes, colors, even beings... You can never know for sure when death is in your presence...

"Who sent you?!  What do you want from me?!"  her voice was tense, almost frightened, "You have no right to be here!"  "What possibly could you mean, madame?" A man, tall, skinny, and pale crept closer, cracking broken glass beneath his boots, "I want nothing from you.  I am here to claim what is rightfully ours; and if you do not hand it over, I will be taking a lot more than I came for m'dear."  His long, greasy, black hair shimmered in the light of the Moon, giving it silver highlights, "Now..." He paused and looked up, fear crept into her soul, "I will ask you once, and only once..." His eyes seemed to have fire in them, a burning rage that left her paralyzed, "WHERE IS THE AMULET?!" She shrieked and fell backwards as droplets of saliva fell upon her, "As I said before, woman, I will NOT be repeating myself, so answer carefully." He ripped open his long trench coat to unveil an arsenal of weaponry, ranging from guns to knives and just about anything in between.. "Answer me, damn it!"  "I... I'm sorry... I don't know what you're talking about... I don't even know who you are!"  "I'm sorry, miss, but that would be a wrong answer..." "No... Wai.." And in the blink of an eye, everything turned black as the unknown assailant tore into her.  Before her last breath was to be had, he whispered into her ear, "Don't worry, madame, your daughter is in good hands." The woman's eyes widened, "I'll take good care of her." He laughed and decapitated her and was gone in an instant.
