Knytt Stories Level Previews / [puzzle/challenge/large] The Quest of Unknown Length (beta testers needed)
« on: June 12, 2011, 00:40:32 »
[Name]
The Quest of Unknown Length (This name may change)
[Name ideas]
Here's some ideas for a level title. Tell me which one is better:
[Beta Testers]
(Not sure if my old testers are still active. So apply if you want to test.)
Pick Yer Poison
Emeraldfire7
Zydragazum
Salmoneous
any other people in real life who agree to play it for me
[Contains]
-Large expanses of land
-detailed scenery
-bosses as well as sub-bosses
-Zelda based gameplay
-hidden areas
-a code to collect and enter at the end of the game (best to write it down as you go)
-the code will also get you the secret ending
[Difficulty]
Now with multiple difficulties! It will be a hard level, some parts more challenging than others. I'm trying to make it less insane than my other two levels.
[Info]
It's Juni's Birthday! As a young girl she was taken in by pirates and has grown up in a castle near the ocean. Now on her 17th birthday the pirates give her two gifts and tell her there is a great adventure awaiting her if she wants to leave the castle.
I'm shooting for at least 400-500 screens. The idea behind it is that you start in a small tower and are simply told to go left or right. You collect powers along the path and at the end you are warped back to the beginning to finish the game. This may sound simple but when I say "walk along the path" I don't mean an afternoon stroll. This will be a long level.
This is somewhat of a collab with my friend because he is giving me critique as I go along.
Finish/upload dates aren't very clear at this point.
[Music]
-the band: God is an Astronaut (got permission)
song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEDhsDoqXns
-ambient stuff from:
http://sphericlounge.blogspot.com/
-more to come as needed. So far I haven't music in any part of the game.

Sounds good. Can't wait. I could also beta test once there is more to look at if you need it.

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.

« on: December 11, 2009, 01:51:49 »Sorry I haven't been doing much testing recently. I was actively testing the first day, but somehow I knew that as soon as I went to sleep, the next day I'd put it in the back of my mind and not come back to it.
Unless enough new testers don't sign up, you can free my slot if you want to.
If you don't, then hopefully I'll be active again for a while.
Well, I'm not taking anyone off the list, just adding to it. If by the time I finish the level, anyone who signed up for beta tester hasn't done anything to help make progress on the level, then I'm not putting them in the credits.

Knytt Stories Level Releases / Re: [Hard][Challenge/Puzzle] The Deep Pit (incomplete)
« on: December 10, 2009, 04:03:00 »
Got a couple problems here.
First off, the use of a black floor and background with no way of seeing the difference between the two, AND having to make a jump there is very annoying. If that's part of the challenge of the jump, fine. But it still makes you wonder if the floor is just going to go away without you even knowing about it because all the colors were the same.
Second. Please include the tilesets and gradients you use in the level folder. Or else this crap happens. Makes levels unplayable and ruins most otherwise goods ones.

So I've only gotten messages from 3 of my testers so far. So I'm opening the slots back up. If you want to test, say so.

This music source was given to me for my level, but I think you would have great use of it also: http://sphericlounge.blogspot.com/
They make ambient music under a creative commons license so just give them credit and you're set.
Downloading from them is tricky though, you have to click on the arrow when it's on the song you want and then it will open a new window. From there, go to File>Save Page As. This will download an mp3 to your computer.
Can't wait for the final product of this, it looks amazing.

« on: November 26, 2009, 20:24:30 »With spheric Lounge how do I download their music?Click the black arrow right next to the songs in their player.
Well I already knew about that button but it gave me an idea for how to get it working and now I can get music from them.

« on: November 26, 2009, 17:51:54 »also if you dont get a reply im positive you can find some really good music here http://www.incompetech.com/ I get all my music from there, you don't need to contact anyone just credit the author (being kevin macleod) alot easier than sending emails all over the place,
You can also try Newgrounds's Audio Portal or Spheric Lounge's website for music under a creative commons licence.
Cool thanks, I totally forgot about newgrounds.
With spheric Lounge how do I download their music?

« on: November 19, 2009, 06:50:33 »I would like to beta test.
Awesome. Number five is in!
I just realised my post was really off topic-ish yeah you can convert the music files to .ogg using audacity, im sure its explained somewhere ont he forums if its not then i guess i have a tutorial i can writelol
Yeah I know how to do all that. My last level had a lot of music that had to be turned .ogg so I'm well acquainted with the process. Plus I do it for some other games. Thanks though.
