Title: The Simple Hike [Very Easy] [Very Small] [Enviromental]
Post by: LordMarzog on May 20, 2016, 01:32:28
Wow. I haven't made a knytt stories level in.... 4 years? After I burned myself out on my 'Run the Gauntlet" levels, I guess I needed a break from KS.
But now I have returned (for now at least).
This is a VERY short level that is essentially just me getting my feet wet again. Nothing fancy here. No custom work or shifts. I did however try to push my artistic side though and tried to add depth to the scenery. I would very much so appreciate feed back on how I did with that.
And don't worry, unlike in the Run the Gauntlet levels, there is no heavy handed story being shoved into your face here. So yeah. Feedback would be lovely as I intend to start on a new level soon and will probably try my hand at custom backgrounds again.
So anyways, Here it is. (http://knyttlevels.com/levels/LordMarzog%20-%20The%20Simple%20Hike.knytt.bin)
Hope y'all enjoy.

T'was alright. Not too fond of the idea of being invisible-walled at the beginning, but this level was actually a little larger than I thought it would be.
Welcome back.

It was short, simple and had an oldschool-KS feel. I liked it! You know how to add depth to your screens even with vanilla assets of the game.

Good stuff! I liked the level of detail and the backgrounds of the above world, and also the "secret" ending.
I did not like the mine area, it felt way too cluttered.
Good to have you back, looking forward to seeing more work!

Nice to see ya back!! (I love it when old forum-goers make a comeback. (*coughs*GIBBUS<3*coughs*))
Level was very cute and small. Like other people said, it honestly kind of did evoke that "olde-style" KS feel. I dug it!
(Kinda wish it didn't end as abruptly, though...)

Thanks for the kind words everyone! Nice to hear people liked it.
I did end it abruptly because inspiration dried up really fast as I realized I was just making a practice level. So I took the cheap route at a few places (invisible wall and abrupt end)
I do have a new level in progress, and I'll be keeping all the feedback in mind. It's been great to have such a warm welcome back too!
