I will DM it to you (on the Nifforum DMs)

Hi, thanks for playing and for letting me know about that void screen! (It's been so hard finding all the bugs and softlocks with how many seed combinations are possible! Thankfully that one is pretty minor and easy to fix!)

On the tech side of things, yes those 3 "loading screens" do in fact determine the seed so skipping past it will most certainly impact the seed results, I'd be careful with doing that.

The way it works is that Juni is shifted in an infinite loop between 3 different screens per each of the 3 loading screens
(screen 1 shifts between 1 2 3 )
(screen 2 shifts between 4 5 6 )
(screen 3 shifts between 7 8 9 )

On each shift one flag in that group is set true and the previous flag in that group is set false and since Juni's walk and jump animations are slightly random +humans are not 100% consistent with their inputs the timing at which they get through each screen if makes the flags semi-random (just enough to make this work).

This means once you exit the final "loading screen" you'll have 1 flag set at random from each of the 3 loading screens.
1,2,3
4,5,6
7,8,9
This will then display as the "seed" of your run. (the collection of 3 different flags) (27 unique combinations)

Then the way the world generates is that every screen will warp to 1 of 3-4 variations based on which flags are active.

Fox example:
screen 1 might warp based on flags 1,2,3
screen 2 might warp based on flags 4,5,6
screen 3 might warp based of flags 7,8,9

Therefore as a player walking through screen 1 into 2 into 3 it will always be a slightly different experience and always feel slightly different because each of the flags will likely be in a different order (although once you play it enough you'll start to quickly recognize certain layouts)

Awesome. You are always taking KS in places I would never imagine.

This level is quite nerve wracking at times - in a good way! We got a taste of that feeling in The Manor with limited hearts but permadeath brings it to a whole new level. Fortunately, things get a lot calmer once you get a full loadout of power-ups (easier said than done).

If you don't mind giving a peek under the hood, how does the seed generator work? (I'll admit, the 3 "loading screens" were the only part I would skip/teleport past as walking it became tedious. Hopefully the seed wasn't based on Juni's movement in those screens but it doesn't seem like that affected things).

It looks like you have 3 main versions of the map. Does it take pieces from each and overlap them depending on the seed? I'm sure I can dig into the level editor to find out more.


Also heads up - on the very left-most screen (e.g. seed 148 where's two ghost blocks over water) if you double jump and glide one screen left you will fall into the void.

Thank you so much V3 coming soon! It's the same but with some slight bug fixes.

I don't know if you noticed, but this level has some shocking and offensive content.
That's the only real problem here.

Uhm...
