It may be a while before I can release the first open beta for The Search for Silence. In the meantime, please accept this Decemberween present from me in the form of a large chunk of what I have so far. You may consider this to be a sequel to An Excerpt from Silence if you wish.

This level contains no hazards aside from liquids. There are enemies in the walls in places, but they cannot get you. Please explore this place to your heart's content and then, when you are finished, input the code at the bottom to exit the level.

The music used in this level is one of mine, called "Return to Unconsciousness". You may find it as a part of the album Music from The Search for Silence: Volume One. Link to that via this forum post: https://nifflas.lp1.nl/index.php?topic=7352.0

Thank you for your patience. Let me know if there are any issues with this level.

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

hello Fubaka ;-)

I must say that as it stands, I really like it. I might as well tell you that on a video projector it's a bath of colors and it feels good. Plus the music you composed is soothing.
If I understood correctly the level is not finished yet. I think that with a story and a little challenge it will be great. I found that the level design was conducive to secret passages ;-)
Thank you. Looking forward to seeing the whole thing!

This particular level is finished, but it is indeed a part of a much larger project. When you see it in its full context, there will indeed be a "little challenge" and plenty of secret passages to go around. Admittedly, it may be a while until that is ready to be showcased, but I'll keep plugging away at it when I can.

Thank you for playing, and I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Hey Fubaka, I haven't gotten a chance to actually dive into your level yet due to the busyness of the holidays but I have played it for a little bit and it's wonderful, like a bath of aesthetics. And then you get to the code room and actually realize you are in for a challenge. Really cool and looking forward to more. I thought I would post now because KS has been kinda slow recently and I want to show my appreciation <3

Thank you for saying so. I'm honestly surprised the forum still sees as much activity as it does, but for those people who still check in, I am only happy to serve.

Thanks to you especially Fubaka

I am only a simple player and I have no notion in computer programming but I smell that it represents a huge job to create a level
I am quite discreet but always present on the forum, considering that KS is one of the best ideas and one of the best games in the world (with KU lol) ever made
I just have to dive into all these levels created the community to see how creativity and sensibilities are expressed and I love that

I take this opportunity to wish you all happy holidays and thank you again for allowing me to lose myself in all your magnificent worlds ;-)

Cheers !
