Bit Knytt is a generic themed adventure level where you help a byte find its way through the electronic world and the internet to be downloaded to its destination. Where exactly it will go and what meaning its 8 bits hold, this little byte does not know....
Levels are all digitally themed, and there will be some music written by yours truly. But I have nothing written yet because I lost my music composition software; we recently installed Windows 7 on that machine and that made the program become unregistered, so we have to purchase another license! Grrrrr.....
The game is planned to be linear without feeling linear. While places do have an "end" to them, the areas connected to them generally branch off from the middle, so you can reach a lot of places at any given time even though you can't necessarily complete them.
I'm trying to offer some interesting level ideas in terms of concept. Examples:
There's an area that is wrapped vertically; fall down the bottom, come out up top.
The Internet area is a series of big mazes where you must try not to get lost; it's split up into several "networks" each in which your task is to find your way to the next.
Though it's not made yet, I plan to have an area where there are two versions that you can freely switch between to solve puzzles.
Right now it's in the very early stages of development. Don't expect to see Bit Knytt out for a long while!
