Anthill

Archive: 7 posts


This is my first publication, so I apologize in advance if it's a bit shaky in terms of beautification, but a somewhat ridiculous amount of time and effort was poured into this level's creation, so I'd greatly appreciate plays and feedback. I worked on this with a friend who unfortunately does not own a PS3 and consequently has no PSN, but when he gets one I'll be sure to credit him. Anyway, that's neither here nor there, so I'll move on to a little description.

This level features:

A grand adventure separated into three distinct chapters and a sort of epilogue
Unique dungeon crawling experiences
A large and varied overworld for the player to explore
Multiple dungeons that are unlocked as the story progresses
A world teeming with life and characters

We've put a lot of work into the world of Anthill (that is to say, the characters, the areas, etc.), and you're encouraged to go everywhere and do everything so that you can get the full experience. We discourage total linearity. There are a few hidden and entirely unnecessary scenes that can be easily skipped, but if you play around enough you'll probably find them.

Thanks for sitting around to read this schpeel! Much thanks in advance if you decide to check it out, and have fun.

I haven't played your level yet, but when I get the time to do so, then I'll leave you some feedback. Other than that it's obvious that you've put a lot of work into the level and its promotion.2011-01-12 05:18:00

Hi there Chirm.

Great looking level for your first attempt, I LOVED the humour, made me giggle in a couple of places. All the comments are well thought out, and not too long, yet cute and funny.....BUT, the game can't be compleated The giant rock that the ants are trying to move WILL NOT move, is it glued down?
Sorry it's not a better review, I hope you get the problem sorted, let me know when you do, and I'll add to this post.

If you'd like to play my level 'House of the flying diggers' i'd like to know what you think.

All the best, Shade_seeker

I'm not exactly sure which giant rock you're referring to, but supposing you mean the one in the beginning, it disappears after you've taken the grain of sugar to the Ant Queen.2011-01-12 19:21:00

Hi there Chirm, and sorry for the confusion earlier.
I played this level with a friend, and we had a great time, REALLY impressed that this was your first published level!!! Some may argue that you could do with more stickers background/asthetics work, but I disagree. It has a wonderful quirky feeling about the whole game, the graphics tie in nicely with the whole feel. Some great chatacters, and some really nice ideas. I would suggest a few more check points, because when one of us got seperated and died, it took ages for the next spawn to re-join, and secondly....Make it more obvious about taking the sugar lump back to the queen ok. It may seem obvious to you, but heck I missed it and just gave up, before your post.
Gave you five stars for all the effort, and well deserved, Can't wait to see what your next level will be like!

Keep on Creating!

Hope you enjoy my level as much as I enjoyed yours!

Thanks a lot for the feedback and for trying again. As for the checkpoint issue, I completely understand. This level was designed with a single player in mind, and the checkpoints work well for that, but when I tried playing it with my friend we ended up having a lot of fun, so I decided it wouldn't do too much harm if people played it in groups. But yeah, I totally know what you mean by getting separated. I'll try and think of a way to fix that up.

Thanks again for your time, and I'm glad you had fun! I'll check out your level tonight.

Very fun level! The story was great and very humorous. All the tasks you had to complete for the queen were fun and full of great gameplay, my only complaint was that the paint gun section didn't work quite as well as the rest of the level, but it was still very fun! Also I didn't quite get the ending, was it supposed to be that the queen had sent you to die?

5 stars!
