[Challenge/Puzzle/Scenic] [Hard] - The Column (RELEASED)
« on: April 10, 2016, 06:14:17 »
In the dead center of the Haukaigen Grasslands, a peculiar ruin stands. It is referred to by the locals as The Column. Legend has it that it will determine the fate of any adventurer who seeks its counsel.

Needless to say, my curiosity was piqued. I set out for this famed monument at once.

But, when I finally got there, I was perplexed...



Where is the column?

Perhaps I should ask the locals...

I am a foolish little man. This is supposed to be in the previews section.

Serves me right to not double check, sorry for the false hopes.

Ah!  I knew it! You fool!

"Puzzle" is a somewhat uncommon tag to see, so it always grabs my interest.  What kind of puzzles are we gonna' be seeing?

Well, it won't be all that intensive. Just a few little brain twisters in a couple places. You'll have to play at least twice to see all of them.

Just a quick update. I went and counted the non-repeated screens for my level so far, and it looks like it will be in danger of breaking the minimum screen count of 300 for the EPIC KS level competition.

Attached is a screenshot of an area that I worked on today. It utilizes a tileset that I developed from scratch for this level. Once I'm done with this area, I will have two more to complete before the level itself is finished.

I like the look of those screenshots! Bright and clear, very pleasing to the eye. And the Puzzle category is intriguing, that's for sure.

That 5th preview shot really reminds me of the original Knytt for some reason. Loving how this looks. Will for sure play it when it is released.

Tinier update.

I am now working on the last area. After it is finished, and testing is done, I will be calling for my beta testers, then promptly releasing.

Expect this bomb to hit some time next week.

Design and alpha testing are now complete. I will now be sending the level out to my selected beta testers.

Also, I am reclassifying this level as Hard.
