Title: [Challenge][Lunatic] Tower of Babel
Post by: KennySheep on October 12, 2009, 07:20:26
I?ve been working on this sporadically for a while now, but it seems to be big enough to slap an ending onto it and call it complete.

This is the simple story of Juni trying to climb a giant tower to reach heaven. It is very difficult in some places (hence the lunatic rating), but if you enjoy pointless challenge for its own sake you might enjoy this.

I might as well warn everyone this is a first attempt at map making, and designed with challenge as a higher priority than anything else. There are no custom tilesets, the plot is next to non-existent and the whole thing is quite linear for the most part. Not that there is anything wrong with linear maps, it just may not be your cup of tea if you prefer open exploration.

If you think you might like it, download and enjoy.

I really only gave it a lunatic rating on the philosophy that the rating should be for the hardest jump.

I think that some of the latter game bits are annoying enough to qualify, but if no one has any real trouble with it I?ll probably bring down the difficulty rating.

Assuming I can get to the later parts with its non-linearity.

Wow, I guess I completely missed the point of my own thing. Whoops.

You definitely changed a lot from the last version.

Wild guess says you?re probably related to me if you?ve seen the last version.

More changes are coming though. If I failed this miserably trying to make a simple challenge map, I?m willing to go with it and make everything more mazelike.

Nothing better to do after all.

Okay, so how do I get the hologram? I know how to swim down in a wallswim, but it doesn't work here for some reason.

Yes, but this is a Challenge level too, not only Lunatic.

Challenge means you have to fight stuff. It's the default category for most levels. You could say maze or exploration, or something.

There is indeed a Tower of Babil [sic] in FFIV.

The Tower of Babel was originally the creation of the Babylonians in the book of Genesis. The people of Babylon, who at the time all spoke a single language, built a colossal tower in an attempt to reach into the Heavens. Ultimately, since the tower was built for the glorification of mankind* rather than in honour of God, He struck it down (this part of the story doesn't appear in Genesis, but does occur in some early Jewish texts) and confused the language of the people. This is suggested as being the cause of the huge variety of languages spoken on Earth.

* "Then they said, 'Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves; otherwise we shall be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.'" (Genesis 11:4)
