Title: The best environmental levels
Post by: Evil on June 07, 2010, 01:43:58
Please post them, (and post links to download :) hehehehehe)


I'd like to hear what your favorites are :)


[mod]Removed favorite level for not having a download link while asking others to do so. Feel free to re-add the level you suggested with a link in it.[/mod]

You ask for download links, yet you don't provide one yourself. Peculiar.

But you know, LPChip is right, you should contribute too. Would be nice to have a download link for the level you recommended.

There is no doubt that the best environmental level of all time is Gaia (http://www.mediafire.com/?xkjqyijytgt). It has over 1500 screens, 8 endings, four plot twists, a maze-like cave that runs under the entire world, and since i can't sum up quite good, i will say the last thing on this list will be 'etc.'

Massive indeed but not stunning in a visual way. Pretty basic scenery. But please, prove me wrong.

My favorite environmental level, by FAR, is Quincent Cartographer's "A Walk at Night".  It's splendid.
Can't find the link for it though.

Oh, and "Camping" (http://nifflas.lpchip.nl/index.php?topic=533.0) is really beautiful as well, though very short.

Wow.   8D  I've never played Mysterious Grotto before.  Just got done exploring it, and I'll be, if it isn't one of the best playground/enviroment levels I've ever played.  Huge without being overwelming, each area unique and clever, nifty use of secrets.

Gonna try Camping, next.  ^_^  Thanks for the levels, yo!

Actually, I agree with this. The level is mind-numbingly massive, but as far as graphics themselves go, I've seen a lot better. The prestige is all because of its size. That said, that doesn't ban it from being an environmental level; it just isn't a visually stunning one.

My level Outer Reaches was inspired by The Mysterious Grotto. It's a really defining environmental level, in my opinion (MG, that is).

True. Big ≠ Good.
Gaia is good. Not the best though.

Probably going to annoy someone by posting on this oldish thread, but...

I only started exploring some of the Knytt user-created worlds in about the last two weeks, so this topic interested me since I prefer the environmental levels over the challenge levels. However, I wanted to add my comment to the brief Gaia banter that was happening here.

Of the environment levels that I have played so far, Gaia was one of the ones that I enjoyed the most not just because it was large but because there were plenty of characters to talk to and places to visit. I've played a few dozen other environmental levels and you can easily create a beautiful work of art level that feels empty and/or pointless. If you're going to explore, its nice to have something beyond just scenery to visit. There needs to be things to find, characters to talk to, and preferably something to accomplish.

Gaia was nice because there were plenty of characters, lot of things happening in the background (even if you couldn't interact with it much), lots of "how do I get there? places, plenty of secret places and several endings to try to find. So more than just having a big world that looks nice, it was a big world with lots to do in it. I've played several levels that were large and good-looking, but you can only wander through so many empty tunnels, no matter how nice they look, before you stop caring.
