Title: [Challenge, Hard] (Don't you feel Chased?)
Post by: Al on February 10, 2012, 06:55:27

Hi there.

this is a little side project i began drawing on paper

It will bassically be a very challenging level, let's say it'll be for hardcore gamers ;)

I'll let you on some screenshots and maybe more infos in a few hours.

I began building it and I now know that it's going to be a pretty short level with a minor storyline.

My first screen and I tought it looked nice so here's the screenshot



(wheww) building theese screens are longer than i had imagined, good thing it will be a short level.

You guys will love the storyline I added to the level, it's disturbing and the end is really something

I don't want to let you know any more details, but if you play it pay attention to what the npc's has to say, some details are important to the plot.

The level will be a hard challenge (mostly near the end) but it's relatively short so good gamers should have no problems ^^. There should be a few easter eggs hidden or not in the level as well as hidden areas and secrets

Also i had planned what the level is going to look like before building it will be much more prettyer than my other level.

That's it ! Stemage has accepted to let me put one(s) of their track in my level. You can expect awesome soundtrack! I'm so happy. And i just realised that the KS manager can do the warp shift and signs faser than typing it in the world document XD

Well I might need some beta testers and their bug reports, sugestion on this level too in the end. It's growing more than I tought. However I wont be able to put the music in the beta before stemage aproves it. (Meaning they must receive the beta containing the soundtrack before anybody else. Right now it's about 43% done. I expect it to be finished in 2 weeks or maybe 3. I hope some of you guys would like to help me with beta test. It would really buy me some time as I have currently 2 levels in progress wich i both intend to finish. I am really trying do my best for this one I hope it's fun enough and intriguing (Is that a word ?)  Thank you poeplz ^^

Hay,

Came back to say that the level nears completion. Yes it's around 75% done already. It will contain loads and loads of secrets and hiddens things, the soundtrack will ba all based of Metroid remix/Stemage remix and I expect it's replayability value to be pretty reasonable.

Here free screenshots!

First screenshot is a house in a marsh it has a torvus bog remix. the second have Hive totem boss theme from metroid prime in 8-bit. the first screenshot I posted on the topid wich dosen't look the same anymore. Have the only track not related to metroid, it's Stemage-anosmium

I have played through all three parts of Metroid Prime. Your picture is Samus's logo  ;). (sorry for getting offtopic)

It's not really off topic because my main inspiration for this game is Metroid. But it dosen't show all that much because of copyright issues and such. But it has that feel to it that let you think that there is always more to discover in the level. Oh and me favourite in the series are Prime and super metroid :P

Edit: By the way do you know by any chance any beta testers? I would need some for this level but I can't find anyone. Perhaps you know one or maybe you are beta tester yourself. Your help would be appreciated.

Is "beta tester" a profesion? Well, I can "beta test" your level if You want me to. :)

I would help me a lot seriously because I tought my level would be smaller :P. Just notice me if you find anything unusual, bugs, wallswim ect. I will PM you  with my level. It's not complete but only the screens near the end are part-built. Test it, and let me know what you think of it, if you see something that could be improved don't hesitate to let me know ^^.

Edit: actually I don't know how to PM you my level. Where can i send it to you.
I tought I could upload it to the level archive  but I don't like to have unfinished levels here. Altough I could give it a  different name

I don't know myself. Can you just post it here? :sheep:

You are right not to upload an unfinished level to the level archive. Use Mediafire (http://mediafire.com) and send the link via PM to the beta tester.

Post by: Al on February 22, 2012, 19:23:25

Thanks Raicuparta. I use mediafire from now on.

Also I might probably get a new job soon, so i'm getting as much work done as I can on the level because I will have a lot less time to work on it then.

Here's a screenshot to proove i'm actually progressing :P

and thanks to Denis for his bug repport you will be mentionned in the credits pal.
