Title: [Challenge] Sputzna *updated*
Post by: farik on April 13, 2009, 20:53:48
Juni lives on a space station. She is preparing for her first mission, the investigation of a strange signal from a nearby nebula. The first part of the level is on the station as she does a few chores. the second part is more of a challenge.


EDIT: i decided to make this a lot bigger. so it'll be awhile before its finished.
EDIT: new screens, lots of colorzzz

EDIT 7/16: this is going on hold for awhile. some crazy business has come up and i dont have the time to mess with this right now. i'll probably post the beta up later tonight, just so people can have something (so close to being finished...) i did a lot of work on it, but i've got some really important things to take care of right now. the only reason i'll post the beta is because i'm not sure i'll come back and finish it. but let me know what ya'll think an we'll see.  :)

EDIT: 8/04: Haven't done anymore work on this, and I don't know if I will. However ... here's the beta for download! It's mostly done except for the last 2 areas. So, I hope ya'll enjoy it.  :)

EDIT: 4/19: started working on this again, god knows when itll be finished.

What would be awesome, would that the background with earth and stars turn round so we would have a sense of weigtlessness...
But I can't think this being possible, because custom objects can only be in front of the 3rd layer.

It's possible, but you'd have to make a lot of huge custom objects and more custom objects that overlap all tilesets.
Title: Re: [Environmental] Sputzna
Post by: farik on April 15, 2009, 23:16:32
that would be hard. are you saying make the earth revolve around the center of the level, or like the perimeter of the screen, because i dont know how to do that. i'd like to see it though. i did make a couple like little floating knytts and space suits...
Title: Re: [Environmental] Sputzna
Post by: Teper on April 15, 2009, 23:30:31
I guess the simpliest way would be to have two giant COs, one with the stars and earth rotating on itself, and one static being the space station over it. But the first one would have a tremendous weight. If the space CO is 240x600, and lets say you would need 50 frames, that would be a 1200x6000 png file. I'm wondering if 50 frames would be enough for it to make a 360? rotation so it could loop...

EDIT: I've made this really quick animation with Photoshop with 6 frames.  It's floppy and the edges are missing. Each screen rotate 1? relatively to the previous one, so 360 frames would be needed. Making 360 of thm would only ask patience, and a larger image. It's a bit jerky and too fast, but it still works

Spoiler: animation (click to show/hide)
Title: Re: [Environmental] Sputzna
Post by: Emeraldfire7 on April 16, 2009, 01:47:07
       The animation looks good but even if the earth rotated very veeeeery sloowly like (this would be huge!) 720 frames, in each frame the earth could rotate a half degree to show a smooth and slow rotation... it would still be awsmoe (and would still look like you are floating around it)! or to solve the idea by teper and the layer four overlapping layer three, you could have only the earth rotate and leave the rest transparent (unlike a tileset you can have a pure transparent 24X24 tile :P2) and it could still work, and when the earth rotates near the ship make it go behind by simply erasing the parts that should go behind (although then all screens would need a floor tile (or something solid) to cover that particular part.

WOW longest post o' my life XD
Title: Re: [Environmental] Sputzna
Post by: JC Grim the 'crete reaper on April 16, 2009, 05:07:20
The only problem I know of is that if you enter another screen, and re-enter the old screen the Earth would be back where it started, so it might look strange. It might be best if you only use this feature for some sort of complex puzzle that  requires you spend a large amount of time in that screen, with one way in, and only one way out, neither of which meet.


Alternatively, you could just make the earth a CO....
Title: Re: [Environmental] Sputzna
Post by: googoogjoob on April 16, 2009, 06:40:20
It'd be really difficult to have some sort of puzzle that didn't involve shifts or the risk of death, both of which would also reset any such Earth object.

In any case, the Earth wouldn't go around the screen at all, unless the space station is spinning somehow. And, at the distance from the Earth implied by the screenshots, any movement of the Earth or of the space station in relation to the Earth would be basically imperceptible unless the station were travelling unreasonably fast.

This looks great! I love the graphics in your levels, and the gameplay tends to be good too. I love the environments, they seem really alien. I can't say I really like space themes, but this could change my mind. C)
EDIT: I forgot to ask, what program do you make your tilesets in? I remember hearing it was MS paint somewhere. Do you still use that? And where can I download your level the hunt?

I mean that I usually don't like levels where you travel to other planets, but this looks good.
Also, MS paint users unite! I hate it when people say you can't Make anything good with it. Your tilesets are proof that you can, and it's so easy to use that I don't want to use anything else! :P

I also use Ms paint. Its simple and fast to use.
But for more advanced stuff that Ms paint cant do I use Gimp.
Still, Ms paint is very underestimated.

It was a beautifully made tileset the ship. I loved it and the part where you were warping etc was impresive too.

I loved.

Spoiler: (click to show/hide)

On a helpful note though I thought the planet tileset was nice but a tad bland. Only a very tiny rant really. Nothing nasty of course because this was probably intentional. ;)

Anyway keep it up and good luck. :)

i'll admit i hate that i didn't finish it after putting so much work into it. damn close to being done when i dropped it. but to answer your question - a lot's changed in the way of me being even busier than before. i'm working for my university and putting together what seems like one study after another.

long story short. i want to finish it and i might.

In spite pf everyone's excitement I'm sure people understand that RL has very heavy demands on the lives of most people. If you ever finish it that'd be great but I'm sure people (at least, most people) would understand if more important things were to get in the way again.

Best wishes and best of luck (with your RL, I mean). The level would be great to see finished but it doesn't deserve the same priority as your life ^^ Be well.

@Widget: Then again, art (and level making is an artistic endeavour) is meaningful and important, too, and if 'life' were allowed to crowd out art entirely, it would be sad... (Sorry, getting off my soapbox now. It's an issue I struggle with frequently in my own life, is all. Possibly that's why I'm slightly allergic to the often-voiced view that 'life' should have priority over 'art'. I don't think the two can be that easily separated. Oh dear, it seems I'm on the soapbox again. How did I get here? *steps off*)

@farik: It's great to hear you haven't given up on this completely. I think it's perfectly all right to work on stuff very slowly, btw... take it slow when you need to focus on other things, and work on it some more when you feel like it and have some time. :-) Anything worth doing... is worth doing slowly, too. ;-)

I played the beta a while back. Very inventive. This is a level I'd like to count among my favorites if only it were complete. However, with talent like yours you could be making games for profit. There is enjoyment to be had from making and sharing Knytt Stories levels. Whether that offsets the time invested, is something you have to judge for yourself.

I would like to point out that Knytt Stories levels cannot be created or used for profit. I'm not saying egomassive said that, which he didn't, but I thought it would be important to note this.

Blargh. This level's never gonna be finished. :sad:

Such a shame this's been dropped. Farik your levels are probably my favourites out of them all (Ascension maybe the favorite), I think you have a really keen sense of how to work the visuals in a way that's creative but that fits the spirit and style of Knytt Stories in a very appealing way. I played through the incomplete beta and loved it, and I just wanted to post that, well, here's another person disappointed that they won't get to play this. Good luck with everything!

I was also looking forward to this.. can we get an unfinished beta if it is ever officially abandoned?
Title: Re: [Challenge] Sputzna *updated*
Post by: farik on July 22, 2011, 04:19:11
it's abandoned. sorry everyone! i have no time, no computer. that's life, right?

That's a shame. Can you upload a version with the most progress you made on it?

long story short. i want to finish it and i might.
At first I was like :]

it's abandoned. sorry everyone! i have no time, no computer. that's life, right?
Then I was like :sad:

If you're having trouble finishing the level, try removing a screen or two near where you stopped and try something different. Don't outright /delete/ the screens, though, if you decide you want to keep elements from those, or something. :P But seriously, it's what got me to finish TMG. B)

Farik, if you are still here, you've GOT to finish this level at some point!

I played the beta recently, and immediately fell in love with the environment, the gameplay style, and most importantly, the soundtrack!  It would be a shame for such a beautiful level to remain unfinished!

I'm not one to be extremely cynical or anything but there is a significant chance this won't be finished.
