Title: [Playground][Normal] Caverns v0.8 - FINAL VERSION!
Post by: bunnrey on May 30, 2009, 02:03:11
This is a remake of my old level an underground adventure. most of it has been remade though. as you might have guessed from the title, this level is entirely underground. There is no paticular plot or ending. just explore.
Most of the level is easy but there are a few harder bits.  


here is the level preview topic (http://nifflas.ni2.se/forum/index.php?topic=876.0)


and here is the level :)

yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! I've been waiting for this.

I love being trapped in tiny space  <3

And those blue thingies that you're supposed to step on are hard to see.

Delete any COs in ini file. :P

Naw just kidding. That'll let you play, but without them. (assuming this is the problem)

well I'm not sure about deleting the COs in the ini file but I installed the level in KSadvanced and it works fine. Been playing for over an hour......wow.....wow....one of the most convoluted levels I've ever played. talk about getting lost. I love it. Don't think I've seen all of it yet...

Maybe you should add an introduction? Just a short one cause it`s very strange to hear some facts about your father for example without a plot, you know =)

I tried to have a starting screen but i found it was useless.
as for the story, the original story was that Juni's father was kidnapped and you have to find him, back when this was a linear level. it got very boring making it so I stopped for a few months. when I came back I decided to remove all the locks (except for the "red key") and make It a playground.

by the way, has anyone found the computer dungeon, and if so, was It hard?

you are actually supposed to go the other way. the eye is on the other side and that wall you wallswimmed into has a x-wall on it.  but i will put the eye on that side. You can download the new version or manually put the eye in that corridor you are in with the editor.

sorry it is so buggy.  :oops:

there might be more of these corner sge's and other sge's around but that doesn't mean that I don't try and fix them. I all ways improve the screens I make. for example, this is one of the screens from the old version of caverns.

(http://i44.tinypic.com/rrpndk.png)

and this is the new version.

(http://i42.tinypic.com/20p7w5t.png)

If there are tiny mistakes just think at least about how worse the screen could have been.

Post by: clumsyninja on June 08, 2009, 04:02:50
I've been playing with this one on and off for a few days. I LOVE it! It's very well done and the attention to detail is what seals it for me.

You know, I think one of my favorite parts is that you've arranged the sound effects/atmospheric effects so that I hear waterfalls one screen away from when I see them. It adds a touch of reality and I really like that.

I do wish it had an ending, though. I am such a goal oriented person that I have a hard time playing just for the sake of playing!

you do need the red key to get there but it isn't where the red key is.
I may be posting a new version a bit later when all the key's are possible to get.

I love this level: it's mostly very pretty, it's large, it offers a real sense of discovery because it's just confusing enough to keep you running around for a while without getting boringly repetitive. I still haven't quite finished it, but that's mostly because I want to save a part of it for later. :-)

There's a few, well, I suppose they're SGEs? Like, for example, when the red keyhole blocks disappear, behind them there's a tile (or just the background, possibly) that's a different colour from all the surrounding tiles. But, nothing very serious.
Title: Re: [Playground][Normal] Caverns v0.6
Post by: bunnrey on June 29, 2009, 05:37:41

I've been playing for an hour or so today, and I still love this level so d*** much.  :)

However, I've found some SGEs. Screenshots attached. The SGE in the third screenshot is actually not visible in the screenshot - it only becomes noticeable if you jump at the right place, and I couldn't jump and make a screenshot at the same time... In the area that I've encircled in red, there's one waterfall tile that's on layer 4 or 5 instead of 6 or 7 like the rest.

 however,the last two have to be like that because in the 3rd one, there no corner pieces on that tileset and on the 4th one because if that was solid, It would wall swim.

If that is a veiled invitation to beta test: I'd love to get my greedy little hands on Caverns 2 ASAP; however, I'm rather reluctant to make the kind of time committment necessary to beta test anything, let alone a large level, at the moment. Crazy busy with all kinds of stupid RL things, like trying to find a paying job for when my current one runs out, etc. :-( If you're not in any particular hurry, I could try and see how far I'll get, though - I suppose even an incomplete beta is *vaguely* useful?
