Title: [Challenge / Small / Hard / KS+] For egomassive
Post by: sergiocornaga on October 27, 2013, 10:54:00
As a belated celebration of egomassive collecting 100 stars on this forum, members of the community have put together the following Knytt Stories+ (http://egomassive.com/ks/) level:

Download For egomassive by the Nifforum (version 1.1) (http://knyttlevels.com/levels/Nifforum%20-%20For%20egomassive%201.1.knytt.bin)


This level was made by Talps, Firecat, Polana, plural, Headgrinder, Tablecat, StraightFlame, and me. Enjoy!

Yeah!  This was a really great project everyone!  Thanks tons to sergio for spearheading this, and for everyone else for all their work!  This kind of project makes me really love this forum.

Gif screenshots; now you're just showing off. :P

Also, yay!

Excellent level if you ask me. The shape of the world alone puts this in the running for best level ever! My favorite part is the subliminal messages, like this background building in my crotch (see pic).

My favourite part was how the screens are connected:

I think my favourite parts were Polana's complex flag work, the music in Plural's area, Tapls' challenging area and straihgtflema's self insert. :P

Flag work ? I don't know I know how to make flags. Or was it Plural again ?

Anyway, I like her part of level and I think Sergio's is the second best - first time I like the tileset.

That was a joke based on Splat's tendency to call people Polana. Likewise, plural's area doesn't have noteworthy music.

Sorry. I have spent all weekend at school determining mosses and liverworts. My intelligence and sense of humor had gone away with the 100th sample of Amblystegium serpens. Hopefully, they will return after playing final version of certain KS level...

Ha!  So, I suppose the rusty pipes in my section are analogous to the heart, although their isn't a direct  corollary.

I just want to say everyone put together great sections. I wanted to single out a few things that struck me a while ago when we were putting this together but I never really felt relaxed enough to talk about until now: Firecat's use of the keyboard command tiles to simulate wind was an amazing idea to me. I learned a whole lot about KS+ and now feel a lot more comfortable making stuff in it. And Talps/Sergio bringing it all together and discovering most of the bugs (99% mine) brought a welcome respite to my constant anxiety about how I put together things kind of haphazardly. I also wanted to mention Polana's tileset is kind of amazing, I don't mean to be insulting when I say that looking at the screens themselves gives you small idea about the possibilities with that tileset, I mean I usually assume there is only a certain amount of options to put together a geometry of a tileset, but the amount of options in that tileset was kind of staggering when I took a look at it. And Headgrinder's graphical clarity always puts me to shame.

And as always, egomassive, KS+ deserves every star you avariciously collect like some kind of Knytt Scrooge McDuck.

This was great, barring the bit where I was trying to navigate wind currents on a pale background while monochrome. Thanks, plural, I appreciate it.

I'm sorry, it wasn't my intention to make that area so hard. I tried to make it easier but I guess I failed. Maybe Knytting just isn't for me.

Don't be discouraged! It's all about learning! You're an amazing designer with great potential.

An update (https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/pebu6mf64mal6b7/Nifforum%20-%20For%20egomassive-1.1.knytt.bin) to this level is up that fixes a couple of bugs! Hopefully this level is now perfect.

Heh... you don't know how easy you have it. It used to be much (http://i.imgur.com/xnWcg6o.gif) tougher (http://i.imgur.com/Q2zpWYm.gif).

Egomassive just gave me a star for my post with Firecat's map of the level. I don't know, but shouldn't that star go to Firecat instead?

Edit: HAULY SHET HE EVEN MADE THE MAP HIS AVATAR!

Post by: Talps on October 31, 2013, 23:35:29
Well he gave one to Firecat when I told him about the coin bug in KS+, so maybe I should post something of yours and make it balance out.
Title: Re: [Challenge / Small / Hard / KS+] For egomassive
Post by: StraightFlame on November 01, 2013, 00:09:30
Okay, but what should you post then?

Edit: Also, i just shared this level with GCNL (https://www.gameception.nl/forum/topic/82-knytt-stories-for-egomassive/). And yes, i called that spoiler a spoiliops.
Edit: The server owner liked my post. IDK why.

I'm giving everyone who worked on this a hidden star in the first post they made in this topic. It takes a while to give out so many stars. So, they're for the level not the specific posts. You certainly deserve a star StraightFlame, I read the development thread and you contributed a lot of good ideas to the level in addition to your area.

Well he gave one to Firecat when I told him about the coin bug in KS+, so maybe I should post something of yours and make it balance out.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I think the work Firecat did in figuring out the exact peculiarities of the bug, and then making a level to demonstrate the problem, was more star worthy than the discovery of the bug. But, you're right you deserve one for that too. I did promise stars to everyone who finds KS+ bugs. I'll add it to the queue.

I put YOU TO SHAME???  You have fantastic vision and the pixel skills to use it!  But thank you, it means very much to me to get complements on my work.  :D

Great level, everyone. Was super fun.  :) I liked how each area was distinct yet didn't feel out of place in the level as a whole. I was also pretty proud that I knew who designed each area before it told me. Pretty sure I got a star to all the designers in this thread.
Title: Re: [Challenge / Small / Hard / KS+] For egomassive

Thanks!

It's slightly surreal sharing the credit with people; too used to going solo on so much.

It wasn't that you got the difficulty wrong: it's not particularly hard and entirely suitable for the level's stated difficulty. My laptop screen makes it really hard to see shades of white and cream, and I'd just searched the entire map twice over to find the last gold creature, so I was the teensiest bit frustrated when I arrived there.

Don't be discouraged! As Talps says, you're an amazing designer, as well as one of my personal favourites. Even the Most Massive One acknowledges your might and artistry! Behold, for He hath Spoken:

I've yet to dethrone Nifflas as top KS designer. But, if I don't get my act together and finish TTok, Talps or Plural may take the crown first.

Verily, you are to be honoured with stars and ritual sacrifice as only the most massive of mortals are, for you are favoured by the EGO! Praise His massiveness! Bask in His love!

IIRC the golden creature has been replaced by one that doesn't shoot invisible homing death particles all the time.

Fun.
Sergiocornaga asked me if I wanted to work on this level too but I was (and still am) terribly busy. I did kind of want to and felt it too bad that I wasn't able to be a part of this project, but it's not like you guys needed my help anyway, haha.
Cheers, at any rate.

Stuck on the "9 animals and 97 stars." Please tell me where in you can find the last animal?
Went through all the obvious places of unusual found only an additional screen, go left through the wind.

Not sure how I missed this the first time around, but I'm just going to add my 2 cents in and say that this level is quite fun and deserving of all the praise.
