[Challenge][KS+] Mill
« on: March 23, 2013, 04:27:54 »


Yeah, I'm making another level. Egomassive's amazing KS+ mod inspired me into making a level or two in it.

What is Mill? It's a pretty plotless level, just focusing on Juni overcoming a highly mechanical mill in a hazy grassy plain. There's going to be a focus on obstacles as usual. It'll be a bit easier than usual fare, being around Hard to Very Hard (as I assume to the preference of most). I'm also making it more environmental and explorational than usual, so it'll be nonlinear. It'll be on the shorter side as well.

Spoiler: Screenshots (click to show/hide)
SG's difficult KS levels:
Very Hard: Dark Sea, Industral Trap.
Lunatic: Dark Sea 2, Going Left.
Very Lunatic: Safety 1, 2, and 3.
Misc: AdvancedAmidst the Clouds, Candy Town.

The art looks scrumdiddlyumptious!  I'll definitely be looking forward to this one!
Things to remember when writing figures of speech and sound:
The power of poetry comes from the ability to defy logic. Defy logic often.

Use a metaphor and tell us that your lover is the sky. Tell us that your lover is the sky. When you do that, we won't believe you. We won't believe you because saying so makes no sense, but we'll see a meaning. We'll see a meaning.

The other thing is the ability to be remembered. Love anything.

Love anything

Enviroment of this level looks like combination of Saira and KS. Hopefully I will be able to finish it, because I like how does your levels look like, but they are too hard for me.

I might throw in a selectable Medium difficulty for those who really can't play my levels but want to experience this one. It'll be way more doable to have in this level than it would have been in Dark Sea 2.

It's nice to see you using colour more than you have before. Looks very cool, and it's nice to hear it won't be so vicious, either :P More accessibility is good.

I'm a big fan of your levels, SecretGlitch, and this looks like its going to be amazing!

Mixed feelings about you turning the difficulty down... On the one hand your levels are among the hardest I've ever played, on the other hand it felt really good to get through them.

I'm a proud League of Crap Players member I suppose, so difficulty changes are welcome!
Thanks for the stars, everyone!

Me too. I mean, I am not so crap (I've beaten DS1), but it would be nice to have one route to enjoy enviroment and second for real challenge.

Colors look great. It reminds me summertime (yellow for sun and green for grass).
Finished levels:

I do love all your levels, but the difficulty always seems to get to me. So I'm really looking forward to this one. The screenshots are really intriguing as well.
