Title: Nifflas' Simulator
Post by: greenblobo9 on June 24, 2009, 05:43:00
This is a simulator of Niffla's games. You will start off in a isometric (3D) town, where you walk to different buildings to play one of Nifflas' games.

DOWNLOAD It's up on knyttlevels.com called Nifflas' Simulator Beta 1

UPDATE

OK anyone who's interested, I remade (again) the entire enterface. It is now up on knyttlevels.com It's called "Nifflas' Simulator Beta 1." In order to unlock each of Nifflas' games, you need to find the key in the level.

The new version now includes:
Withing a Deep Forest (needs music)
Geoffry the Fly (needs music)
Roll (20% completed, needs music)
And a whole new interface which I kind of like.

P.S.
In the menu DON'T go down at the bottom or you'll keep falling (This will be fixed very soon I just forgot to change it this time around)

Hope you enjoy

Hmm...interesting concept. I don't think anything like this has been done before. :) I'm not really sure how much challenge/environmental stuff you could get into something like this, but that's just my opinion. :P

I have made the town so that everything OUTSIDE the buildings is in a triangular shape. The roads are solid so that you have a grassy field with a road in it that is traingular and perpindicular to the buildings. Confusing, huh? Just try this demo!

In other words, isometric view... I think.
Wallswim going up from x1001y999 and back down, not that it really matters yet.
Wondering how you'll be able to switch roads/paths at intersections.
All in all very interested in this level and curious as to what you're going to do with the town.

This level will probably have to be one of those scenec levels instead of challenge so much... Unless I have a sudden genious streek. Oh and by the way, anyone got an idea to stop the wall swimming on the road? It SEEMS impossible to fix (I tried for 30 minutes straight,) ideas would be great, I'de even give you credit if you wish!

As far as I know, crossing from screen to screen via diagonals always leads to a wallswim...but take a look at this thread here. (http://nifflas.ni2.se/forum/index.php?topic=1147.0) It might not be exactly what you want, but it's in the general neighborhood.

The tileset I attacked should (theoretically) prevent wallswim.

I do believe Nifflas' "Gustav's Daughter" uses a similar over world feature with enterable areas, and is very much a challenge level.

If this level is good enough, it can get *cough*acertainuser's*cough* attention, and when the forum favorite level lsit gets done, he'll list it there, making your level popular! :)

Thanks! I will definatly give you credit.  ;) Only problem is... I can only use 2 tilesets... and they are both vital to the level so how do I use this third one?  :/

The level is totally different (for awhile I lost the level.) It's a simulated version of Nifflas' games now. The new download link is posted

Take tiles from one and put it on the other.

Oh, OK thanks. I was told to use a custom tileset you make a folder called tilesets, so I'll it.

So are we going to see any other games?
The original knytt?
#modarchive story perhaps?
Maybe you could even try doing night game when it comes out - but that'd be hard.

I already have the first level of With a Deep Forest completed, it's almost a perfect replica. The level is on the old forum and in my next release I will add it to Nifflas' Simulator, and yes I will probably make a version of the original Knytt, perhaps a a couple of identicle screens, and maybe the original music. I'll also try to work on Mod Archive story if I get the time.

I made the level a while ago but next time I add to the level I'm going to check if the default tilesets includes the tiles from the second level. If you want to see the level I'm talking about then go to the old forum (to do this go the the forum's homepage in the "nifflas.ni2.se/forum" to change the "/forum" to "/forum2" and look for greenblobo2's level called within a deep forest. (use the search option)

if you press up while walking right from the first screen you enter a wallswim

Post by: greenblobo9 on June 25, 2009, 07:02:09
I'm now in the middle of making a "Roll" level and editing the already completed WaDF. Anyone got any other Nifflas' game suggestions? Speak now or hold your peace cause this is going to take awhile and I can only work on 2-3 at a time.

Just look on the front page. :P The Turtle Philosopher, plus #ModArchive Story and #Operator Status.

Please notice, that the Knytt Stories Level Preview forum is not for beta levels. You can show images and tell about your level, but not post a playable level. Although I could see how this would be a preview, and not a beta, there are people who can't see the difference, so I cannot allow the link.

I might have gotten this wrong, but wasn't it stated somewhere that Nifflas didn't want us to use music from his games?
Or was that just from the levels in the official expansions?

I don't know but before I use any of his music I'm going to ask for his opinion.

Sorry, I did think of that but since most betas are almost completed levels with bugs I didn't think it was the same. Anyhow, I'm removing it now. Is there a place on the forums where I can put beta levels then? I know I can use knyttlevels.com but I mean like a forum. Sorry I new to the new forum (I haven't logged on before this week since like 5 months) Can I at least say something like "It's on Knyttlevels.com if you want to try"? Thanks

Yes, you can host it on knyttlevels and reference that its stored there.

I'll explain the entire reason for not allowing to post a beta of your level in this forum. In the past we had a forum for levels, and people uploaded their beta and linked to it. Then they had a newer version and made a new topic for that newer version and things started to get overcrowded. The new archive will have a feature to get versions for one level so things are organised.

btw, why do you make as to look around knyttlevels, instead of giving us a link (http://knyttlevels.com/levels/greenblobo9%20-%20Nifflas%27%20Simulator%20Beta%201.knytt.bin)?

Some ideas:

  • Animate water in GTF.
  • Change WaDF world. It's so boring now.
  • Make shifts on the point platforms on roll. It would be great, if you will be able to activate them.  Ask Nifflas, if you can use music, but I think he will allow you, to use them.
  • Add games' music (same, ask Nifflas)

Because it's against the rules of level previews. Sorry for the late response, I just got back from vacation so starting tomorow or the next day I will continue this project.
