Well, not exactly removed. I renamed it to show that it's the version uploaded in 2008. Just so the "original" version is still available for whatever reasons people might have. Because that's what archives do. Archive things.

Thanks, but the new name does not communicate at all that this is not the best available version, and that a newer version is available that people should seek out.

If you absolutely want to keep that old version in your archive, at least rename it to something like "Above and below the waterfall (OUTDATED VERSION)" or something like that. Thank you.

I can get it removed for you. Shall I?

Yes, thank you!

I've changed the review to 'OUTDATED' in the spreadsheet and have removed the notes. The imgur album will also be fixed when I go back and update all of them.

Cool, thanks!

Hopefully that contributes to preventing people from playing the obsolete version, and getting frustrated for completely unnecessary reasons. (There are enough reasons intentionally built into the level already for people to get frustrated. X-P)

Any idea how I can get the old level removed or at least updated on the level archive website? That website gives no contact details.

Is it alright if I review the most recent version with a link to https://knyttstories.hoelzl.fr/ when that time comes?

Of course!

And feel free to rate it in whatever way you want. This level is, at least in some places, "nasty by design" and it is absolutely fine with me if people say that it is not to their taste.

(And furthermore, when I made the level, I tried to built in some novel game mechanics for the time, but working within the contraints of KS not everything could be achieved perfectly in the way I would have done it had I programmed the game from scratch. So I understand that not everything is perfect due to the workarounds I employed.)

Hi,

For the first time for a long time I have visited these forums again to see if the KS scene is still active, and stumbled across your recent post. It is good to see that the scene is still active.

But FYI: the link you give to my level "Above and below the waterfall" is incorrect. You are linking to a long outdated version that still had some bugs.

That version was uploaded to the Knytt Stories level archive without my authorisation and even though I have made it clear in the past that I am not okay with that (among other reasons, precisely for the unavoidable versioning issues that result).

The correct link to the last, and hopefully bug-free, version is https://knyttstories.hoelzl.fr/

Never mind. While I typed the previous post, I had KU open. When I switched back to the window, I was on the screens in question  :P

I assume it must be time triggered, if you spend too long in the disorder part of that level.

Well, I guess that means, I am FINALLY finished with this game. Woohoo!

Thanks a lot for the responses!

Yes, I remember, the menu disco, hardly a secret, but the ball is needed to get there, so probably that is it.

Concerning the race: That's what I suspected, thanks for the confirmation.

So the last open question is the one about screens x31y40 und x32y40. I dug a little deeper, and they are part of "Stranger Dream", the same level as the race thing. These screens contain a conversation, which according to the script files is as follows:

Code: [Select]
Do 0=(Do)Hey Sister.
Do 1=(Do)Do you remember how to travel through the disorder?
Do 2=(Do)If it's too dark, stand still for a few seconds to shine. Don't move even a bit, otherwise it won't work!
Do 3=(Do)Patience is the key; the more you wait, the longer the light will last last. Just remember to stand COMPLETELY still.

It seems to be a reminder on how to use the disorder as part of the disorder sequence in the dream level. But I cannot find out how to get to those screens to get that helpful reminder...

Hi,

After I think I have seen everything is the "original" KU I have spent the last weeks to try to achieve the same state for the Infinity Hype Update.

I have now done the two "font challenges" and used AA's level editor to make sure I have seen every screen. So far so good.

Before I can FINALLY achieve closure with KU (wow, it has been about three years!), I have a few open questions:

  • What are screens x31y40 und x32y40? I may have come across them as part of some other secret (as I said, except for those two I have seen ALL other screens), but I cannot remember.
  • While researching the game, I came across hints that there is not one but two Ball Secrets. Is that true? I only found the "complicated" ball secret. If there is another, I would be grateful for a hint.
  • In the Infinite Hype level with the dream, Do challenges Mi to a race. Can you actually win that? It seems the level always just ends at Mi's house without any further mention of her running time.

Thanks a lot in advance!

Thanks!

Download worked now, and the editor also.

I mainly use it to view the new InfinityHype update, so I can verify that I find all of the secrets in that.

So it seems to me that the IH Update occupies all the so far unused screens of the secret map PLUS two more rows of screens that were added below the secret map. Is there anything else?

The download links have stopped working again. Would be great if you could reupload again. Thanks!

Hi again, guys!

Now, almost two years later, my life has become much calmer, so I have finally found the time and energy to complete this game. I think I have now seen pretty much everything in the game; a massive undertaking. Thanks again for the help!

Now, on to the Infinitehype Update... Are there any resources anywhere about that? Maps? Achievement list? Checklists for secrets? I have not found anything online. Thanks a lot!

Thanks a lot guys! That already helps very much.

I am travelling a lot at the moment, so it is very hard to predict when I will have the time to try out your advice. I will get back here, once I do, with some progress reports.

Cheers,

No, the Indie Royale bundle is DRM-free. It also offers an optional Steam key, but we never redeemed that one because we hate DRM.

Hi,

I finally got around to continue playing KU, and have now almost completed it (with playing time distributed over almost a year).

I have all the achievements, and have found many other secrets, partly with help from online resources.

But there are still a few areas on KhanFusion's map that I have never been to.
I have marked and numbered them on the map: http://knyttstories.hoelzl.fr/missing.jpg

I guess you guys know exactly how to get there ;) so I would appreciate a few hints.

Thank you very much in advance!

(I cannot 100% exclude that I may actually have seen one or two of the marked areas and forgotten. But this is definitely not the case for the vast majority of them.)

Do people who bought the game through Indie Royale get the update as well?

Hello everyone,

I have revisited the level and fixed the yellow key bug that a few people have reported.

To get that bug it was necessary to do a strange serious of actions, so I hope that it has not plagued too many people. Still, such a dead end should not even be possible, so it was clearly my fault.

It should be corrected now.

Have fun and tell me if you find any more problems!
