NightSky: New Hemispheres is now released! [Full-game Mod]
« on: February 27, 2016, 09:33:15 »
Welcome to NightSky: New Hemispheres, the biggest and best NightSky mod. It is also the only NightSky mod, as far as I know.

EDIT: Video Trailer for the mod: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUrRmuN8awk

    So what is it? NightSky:NS is 140 new levels, completely replacing Normal Mode (and the credits, The Beach, and The City). Some levels have only small changes, some have new variations on their gimmicks, but many are completely new ideas.
    This Mod started more than a year ago when I found out about the level editor for NightSky. I messed around with it a bit, and eventually made a new world replacing Ranna Caverns (posted here several months ago). Since then, I have worked on and off creating a completely new set of levels for your enjoyment. I gradually improved in level-making ability and learned a lot of peculiarities of the game engine along the way. I hope to make a video about how to use the level editor to its full effectiveness soon.
    Anyway, the mod files are here: http://www.mediafire.com/download/629bw17yz2y152u/NightSky+New+Hemispheres.zip
    Unzip the file and merge the new files with the NightSky base game. The readme file has more info about installing, and the mod in general.

Features:
139 new level designs plus the last level of the credits that’s pretty much the same
Several new vehicle designs of questionable maneuverability
A new introduction cutscene
Many new objects to push, swing on, or collide with
Some new ambient and roll sounds
3x the domino levels of the original game
3x the falling boulder levels too
Mostly astronomically accurate southern constellations!
13 certified DANK meme levels replacing Slightly Nonsense

   Are you in to speedruns? Several members of the NightSky speedrun community are planning to do a blind race soon, which should be a good watch. (They have never seen the mod levels before, except my older Ranna Caverns mod and a couple levels I needed playtesting for)

I hope you enjoy playing this mod!

This is really impressive! Unfortunately, I lack the skill to get very far in it at all, but I never was good at NightSky...

Hey Sergaiocornaga, thank you for trying my mod.

If you or anyone else find it too difficult but still want to see all the levels (for example, try some of the silly new vehicles in "machines in nature" or get memed on in Dank Meme Land while avoiding the monstrosity that replaced Perpetuum Factory) just use a complete save file so you can jump to anywhere that looks interesting.

Here's a complete save file for anyone that doesn't have one: http://www.mediafire.com/download/g7mpb9btpd34awi/NightSky+complete+save.zip

Long delayed:

This is a backup download link for this mod in case the other link goes down.

See, I used a couple things that can be flagged for copyright for doing dumb things in Slightly Nonsense, so this backup is split between all the normal game files, and an additional add-on file that's just the stuff that could get flagged and go down in the future.

I had planned to do a v1.1 update of this mod changing a few levels to be less-awkward, but never got around to it and at this point I probably never will.
