Tunnel Vision - NOW PUBLISHED!

Archive: 15 posts


Hi there!
I'm working on a level at the moment called Tunnel Vision. It's about half way through, and I feel a bit stuck on it - in the way that I can't think of what to do next!

As well as this, I was also wondering if anyone wanted to test what I've got so far - just check that it's all achievable to others, and whether it's fun or not, etc.
I'd be looking for about 2-3 testers, so if anyone's interested, comment here or PM me!

Anyways, here are some pics =)

Just a note, if you want to test, then I'd appreciate feedback! Thanks!

Looking good. Don't wanna test, don't really like it. I'd rather play the whole level at once.

Oh, and looking good. Yet again.

Thanks guys for all your offers! I'll PM you with the details =)

When you test, you'll eventually get to a bit where you are travelling on a kind of moving platform. It then goes through a kind of spiky tunnel - except I think I need to put some kind of contraption or obstacle there. Can anyone think of any ideas?

If you can, Comment here or PM me!
Thanks

Well, I have tested it, and I think it's thoroughly awesome, so here are my pros and cons:

PROS:

Awesome style, loving the music.
Great intro; not too complex, but still looking good.
I particularly enjoyed the bonus area, because it was a gameplay mechanic that I have not seen before; keep it up.
I like the switches. They're pretty cool, with the way that you designed them, and didn't use pre-made switches. Thinking outside the box. I like it.
The camera works really well on this level, although it could use a little tweaking.


CONS:

This is kind of nitpicking, so ignore it if you like: after the thin wood with "Tunnel Vision" on it lifts up, and there is that little alcove with the arrow in, I thought that that was where I had to go, and not down the "ramp". It may be because the wooden "ramp" on the middle plane blends in a bit too well with the wood that's behind it.
In the same area, in right end of the little alcove with the arrow, there is some wood that looks a bit "choppy", with a roughly cut sort of look to it. I hope you know what I mean, because I noticed a few other sections with a "choppy" (is that even the right word?) finish. If that is the intended effect, then forgive me for being picky.
On the timed section with the pillars that rise, on the first grab switch, I let go and switched planes backwards automatically; this delayed me a little, and was a bit frustrating when I was shut out, and had to do it again.
The moving platform collides slightly with the furnace, disrupting an otherwise smooth ride.



A thouroughly enjoyable, relaxing, good-ol-platfomer of a level. :star::star::star::star::star:<3 Yup. That's right.

Also, on said spiky-tunnel-with-the-moving-platform-thingamabob, perhaps, instead of making a contraption, the spikes could ripple like waves. This way it could create more eye candy, but without the need for a complicated contraption.
Additionally, after the fiery furnace that the platforms go into, perhaps it coud come out again, and you have to get on again, and ride over a seemingly bottomless chasm. The bit of wood that the wheels roll along could suddenly break, and you fall. Then you land in a dark cavern, with only a little flame burning in a torch on the wall. You grab the torch, the whole cavern lights up, and you carry on. What do you think?

PM me once it's completely finished. I'd love to see the finished article!

Wow, thank you so much for the detailed review! I will get straight on with the suggestions you made! I love the end bit you've come up with - I'd definatly like to include that!
Thanks ever so much!
I'll work on some of that stuff, and would you be up for retesting afterwords?



Oh, and don't worry about nitpicking! I want this to be smooth and polished, so I will iron out whatever creases I can!

Interesting. Came inhere expecting something Uncharted-related (Tunnel vision is my favourite chapter) but found something equally awesome! Is the level up? Or can I still test?2010-05-21 18:27:00
