| RED and the WOLFKaiju_kid http://i556.photobucket.com/albums/ss9/kaiju_kid/APhoto.jpgLevel : RED and the Wolf PSN: Kaiju_kid Based on Little Red Ridinghood Synopsis: A chance encounter sparks a bittersweet friendship between Little Red and a wolf. About the story: I wanted to reverse the roles here and make the wolf the victim of humans invasion of nature and it's inhabitants. About the look: Was going for a Russian folk art style with lots of blacks reds and yellows and a flat look. About the gameplay: Having played Mario Bros wii, I was reminded how simple and intuitive platformers used to be. This level utilizes only the first layer for gameplay 99% of the time. Thank you! http://i556.photobucket.com/albums/ss9/kaiju_kid/APhoto_1.jpg all | 2010-01-12 19:23:00 Author: kaiju_kid  Posts: 329 |
| This was great level too. I liked the visual style and can tell you put a lot of thought into everything. I think this was the first level I have played that I felt a sincere emotion at the end. Good job on that, *sniff Only one spot gave me trouble and that was the part you jump on the wolves paw as he is channel surfing. I got squished many times and wasn’t really sure where I was supposed to go for a long time. I would have a word bubble/ talking mouth that shows that the exit is up there and say something like "There's the door, just lettin' you know, hop on my paw if you must go." Then stick the word bubble up there by the exit with a cinema camera showing the door and attach a motion sensor (hooked up to the talking mouth) down by his paw that way you can activate the word bubble even though it is far away. *SPOILER SPOILER* The wolf’s last words were awesome! But he had red eyes that just looked evil. I would change them to green or something to make them look more innocent. and then maybe have his eyes close once he's.... *sniff*.... dead. *SPOILER OVER* That’s the only things I can think of that I thought could use work. I know you’re in the LBL competition thing so I don’t know if you can change it or not but that’s just my two cents. 5 stars and a heart. EDIT: Oh ya one more thing, your badge (the logo for your level) looks like a chicken face from the front. The wolf’s eyes look like the chicken eyes. The sack girls head looks like a chickens beak, the hood looks like the red thing on a chickens face. The sack girl eyes look like the nose holes in the beak and the sack girl mouth looks like the line for the mouth on the beak. Not sure it’s worth changing or if you’ll even be able to see it, but it really looks like it. Once I got over it looking like a chicken, I really like the badge, but it still looks like a chicken to me. haha | 2010-01-21 21:50:00 Author: pacosanchez88  Posts: 32 |

I will implement them after the contest as we're not allowed to make changes till after the contest ends. I made this level literally in like 4-5 days after work. I didn't have time to bug check/beta, but I think all considered it turned out pretty smooth. Other people have also told me the foot part was a bit confusing too, so I will definately add an extra dialogue and use your line to boot! I dunno how it stacks up against all the others but, I really just made it to challenge myself in a time/constraint situaton. | 2010-01-21 23:20:00 Author: kaiju_kid Posts: 329 |
| I actually liked this level so much I went and made a quick demo of what I was trying to describe above. If you want I can send you a key to the level (it’s locked) so you can see what I meant (especially the eyes part). If you want to see it, send a friend invite to kling_strap_on (that’s the account I build under) and ill send you a key. If you don’t care, or don’t have time, I understand. | 2010-01-21 23:43:00 Author: pacosanchez88 Posts: 32 |

| Loved this level! It took me a moment to figure out how to exit the house, but that has everything to do with me ^_^. The design of the wolf to the unexpected ending, the atmosphere in the forest with the bats, the electric starfish. I was just a great level from start to finish. Good job. I think I left feedback in on the level in the game community too. | 2010-01-22 19:53:00 Author: pantspantspants  Posts: 189 |
| Thanks thanks thanks, Pants pants pants! I really appreciate you taking the time to give feedback Actually, if you read the post above, others found that section a bit baffling too, heh. I hope the judges of the contest feel as excited about the level as you do! | 2010-01-23 01:15:00 Author: kaiju_kid Posts: 329 |
