Archive: 10 posts


Hi guys! I recently released the first chapter of my new series. It still need some work but I released it because I have to go abroad tommorow for a looong time (and I wouldn?t have the patience for waiting) and thermo is totally full anyway, so here it is...have fun and excuse all problems. I?m gonna finish this right after I?ll return...It is also highly possible that this is the last level from me, because this game simply ruins my personal life :-D And the effort and time I put into it simlply not return back. So enjoy it guys....See ya..

Wow...that was an amazing start to a level series I can't wait to see the rest of. Where to start, haha!

Presentation: The whole level was beautiful. The neat little trick to give that sense of distance between the background and foreground of the level worked wonderfully, and having the sun follow you at the same distance throughout definitely gave me the sense that something was always watching. I don't think I can stress just enough how much I liked how everything was in shadow--it lent so much to the atmosphere of the level and worked so well and really made you feel like you were on this foreign planet with the sun constantly beating down on you. Fantastic work!

However, I will say to anyone that's going to play this that you try to play in a dark room or turn the brightness on your game up since any glare on the screen can make this level trickier to play.

Story: A very well-told story that really shines through thanks to the voice-over. Heck, between the voice-over and the environment, that's all the story this level needs, haha! But in all seriousness, you told the story very well and as I said, the combination of the voice-acting and level design work wonderfully together to bring the story together.

Music: Very beautiful music. It fit perfectly with the level, and I don't think I need to say anything more than that.

Overall: This is an amazing level that I would recommend to anyone looking for a very atmospheric level with a story that makes you want more. I know that you said that it was only 90% complete, but I didn't even feel that the level was too short--I thought it was a perfect length and ended more than properly. You got a "Like" and a "Heart" from me, and I can't wait for more!

Thank you Mysteltain for your looong and nice feedback.I?m really glad you like it! I think the length of level is ok too. By 90% complete I meant that I need to add some things. There are some really empty spaces like interior of palace, or the part between fallen rock and place where the background first appear (although i think that emptiness has some magic). Some logics need to be fixed too and when you accidentally die, the game ends because there are no checkpoints. Then there are some misspells in cutscenes and subtitles that need to be remade and I wanted one more cutscene. Without it everyone must "conjecture the story a little". The problem is that the level is overheated....so I?m really curious how I?ll do all those things :-DDD2012-03-19 15:25:00

Great work. However I got stuck at one point and I didn't know where to go next and when I killed myself to get out of my situation the game ended. Some check points would be nice. The level is visually stunning. Wounder full camera work, and 3d landscapes. I will replay it sometime but what I have played so far its good. The tone is very well done, my only complaint is that their is a lack of gameplay, its very simple. This does deserve another play through and an MM pick.2012-03-21 07:22:00

Thank you very much Henred for playing and feedback. As I wrote above. I know about almost every bug/problem ( and there are more of them than I thought when I published the level. Now I regret that :-/ ). Some can be removed some cannot. I?ll do everything I can to make things ok right after I get back home. Thank you for your forgiveness! :-) And I?m glad you enjoyed it anyway...2012-03-23 16:30:00

Hmm this is really nice looking and the story that you have set up is intriguing. It really makes me want to explore the world, the emptiness of it all really made me want to learn what has happened.

I hope that the last 10 percent is something that reward exploration as it did feel a little empty with not much to do besides gawk at the amazing visuals. Which is great, don't get me wrong but I felt a little too empty.

Thanx sir! ;-) Actually there are two semi-empty places where I want to build puzzle, or some platforming contraption.2012-03-28 10:26:00
