[KS+][Hard/Very Hard][Large][Adventure] Tree of Life
« on: May 19, 2024, 20:56:35 »

Join Juni on a new adventure as she must leave her village and travel the world to collect hidden treasures, ancient artefacts, and more, before ultimately saving the Tree. Her journey will take her to ancient temples around the world where she must overcome trials to retrieve sacred items needed for her quest.

Scattered around the world are lost leaves. They are simply a collectible and nothing more. Some are hard to find, some are easy, some are hidden.

Also scattered around the world are lore scrolls. Interact with them to read some information about the places you visit.

This level requires egomassive's KS+ mod. Download here.

Download the level:
Through Google drive
Through Catbox <- DDL

IMPORTANT: You can jump down through some platforms. Try it if something seems suspicious!

IMRORTANT: If you downloaded the level before 27 August you'll need to re-download for bug fixes and improvements.

Big thanks to Fubaka and Lucinda for all their help betatesting. Big thanks to kilicool64 for finding bugs we all missed. X)

Another masterpiece from Purple Ink, likely even better than Reditus. I thoroughly enjoyed testing this; it's compulsively playable and has fantasy adventure hallmarks that feel like a classic video game. The graphics are almost entirely custom and filled with cute and thoughtful little details. Plus the amount of secret and collectible content is mind-boggling. This is one of my all-time favorite KS levels and everyone should play it!

Nice to finally see this released. I was looking for something to keep me occupied for a while. And while I have mixed feelings about Advena and Reditus, they certainly succeeded at that.

Are you withholding this level from the archive in anticipation of bugfix updates or is it because of the 50MB limit? Because that's actually a lie. The true limit is 100MB.

Edited first post for this: "You can jump down through some platforms. Try it if something seems suspicious!"

I've never uploaded my levels to the archive. Someone asked to upload my first level and Advena was uploaded by I don't know who.

Bit confused regarding progresison.
Spoiler: (click to show/hide)

Edit: Was it perhaps because I didn't save after reaching that spot? I saved right before it, but got killed on my way back before using another save point.

Yeah that's it. A flag gets switched on when you see the zapper. If you die after seeing it but before saving you'll have to revisit the zapper.

Yeah, I just didn't realize it at the time. When I saw that zapper, I thought this was the consequence of going to that place without first telling the chief I got the umbrella. I didn't expect the act of seeing the zapper to raise a flag. So I thought nothing of it when I died on the return trip. Didn't even notice it happened until I watched my recording of it.

Gliding left from here sends you to the void.

Ah thanks. This was pointed out in beta and I thought I fixed it but I changed the Y instead of the X. I'll wait to see if any more errors can found before updating the download links.

I see. That explains why the warping there was so weird. I was confused for a bit if this was maybe a fake void screen that leads to a secret, like with that part in Advena. But considering I never got anywhere, no matter how far I fell, it didn't seem likely.

Thanks for the great level. I loved it.

However, I'm stuck towards the end and I'm not sure if it's a bug or I've missed something.

Couple of minor bugs:

Gliding left from x1003y1204 leads to a void.
x985y1168 signs are blank

Thanks, kilicool, you're being very helpful! :)

I've fixed those issues, made some minor adjustments to a few places, and made the text about sleeping a little more clear. Going to wait just a little bit longer before updating links. Don't want people to have to continuously downloading updated versions.

I have no clue what this confusion is about the bed, I figured it out without a second thought :P2
