[Environmental/Puzzle/Medium] [Normal] New Excerpt from Silence

DOWNLOAD LINK (Knytt Stories Level Archive): https://knyttlevels.com/levels/The%20Cupbearer%20-%20New%20Excerpt%20From%20Silence.knytt.bin

It may be a while before I can release the first open beta for The Search for Silence. In the meantime, please accept this Decemberween present from me in the form of a large chunk of what I have so far. You may consider this to be a sequel to An Excerpt from Silence if you wish.

This level contains no hazards aside from liquids. There are enemies in the walls in places, but they cannot get you. Please explore this place to your heart's content and then, when you are finished, input the code at the bottom to exit the level.

The music used in this level is one of mine, called "Return to Unconsciousness". You may find it as a part of the album Music from The Search for Silence: Volume One. Link to that via this forum post: https://nifflas.lp1.nl/index.php?topic=7352.0

Thank you for your patience. Let me know if there are any issues with this level.

hello Fubaka ;-)

I must say that as it stands, I really like it. I might as well tell you that on a video projector it's a bath of colors and it feels good. Plus the music you composed is soothing.
If I understood correctly the level is not finished yet. I think that with a story and a little challenge it will be great. I found that the level design was conducive to secret passages ;-)
Thank you. Looking forward to seeing the whole thing!

This particular level is finished, but it is indeed a part of a much larger project. When you see it in its full context, there will indeed be a "little challenge" and plenty of secret passages to go around. Admittedly, it may be a while until that is ready to be showcased, but I'll keep plugging away at it when I can.

Thank you for playing, and I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Hey Fubaka, I haven't gotten a chance to actually dive into your level yet due to the busyness of the holidays but I have played it for a little bit and it's wonderful, like a bath of aesthetics. And then you get to the code room and actually realize you are in for a challenge. Really cool and looking forward to more. I thought I would post now because KS has been kinda slow recently and I want to show my appreciation

Thank you for saying so. I'm honestly surprised the forum still sees as much activity as it does, but for those people who still check in, I am only happy to serve.

Thanks to you especially Fubaka

I am only a simple player and I have no notion in computer programming but I smell that it represents a huge job to create a level
I am quite discreet but always present on the forum, considering that KS is one of the best ideas and one of the best games in the world (with KU lol) ever made
I just have to dive into all these levels created the community to see how creativity and sensibilities are expressed and I love that

I take this opportunity to wish you all happy holidays and thank you again for allowing me to lose myself in all your magnificent worlds ;-)

Cheers !

I'm going to redo the level more slowly today in order to savor it better and jump once again in this bath of colors which seemed so pleasant and soothing to me the last time, I may say anything but I have the impression that the radiation of colors is good for the body and can heal... please don't take me for crazy, I'm fine 

and... I can't wait to discover this "much larger project" 

Really cool environmental puzzle. I didn't even realize the puzzle aspect until reaching the final area, so it was fun to go back and realize what I was missing the first time. I liked the minimalist vibe!

_{P.S. Was there a way to see the dark blue symbol? I couldn't get across the water so I solved the final code guessing that one}

I'm glad my level is having that effect (although it was mostly by accident). I was really just seeing what I could do with this particular tileset if I pushed it to its limits.

Thank you for saying so. Yeah, I hadn't seen a level handle this particular puzzle in this way before, so I wanted to see how it would go. Of course, once the first open beta for The Search for Silence is out, anyone who played this will now have an advantage when they get to this part.

It's been so long since I played the first "demo" and heard about the status of The Search for Silence in general. Just like with Falling Water, it's a pleasant surprise to see the project is still going

I gave the new excerpt a try. It certainly brought back memories from the first one, since that one was also mostly built around this particular solid color block tileset. The music really sets the atmosphere here and it's really inspiring to see what you can accomplish in that regard with a set that probably was not intended at all for this purpose.

Spoiler: (click to show/hide)

I particularly liked how it felt when I reached the very end of the level, saw the code and got confused for a bit... and then it all suddenly clicked in my mind about a minute later when I remembered those strange, really shiny screens in each of the colored areas. Not obvious, but just enigmatic enough. Nicely done!

Thank you for playing. Yeah, this project is still ongoing. I hope to have a full open beta out err long.

Also, glad the "puzzle" part of this level had its intended effect.
