A Quest for Grammar and Literacy!

Archive: 18 posts


Woop, new level underway. It's a step away from my normal creating where I try to emulate a realistic environment. Instead, it's a completely wacky, new thing for me. After watching countless episodes of Speedcreate, I started to love Mnniska's stylle. So I wanted to work on a level with a similar, friendly, silly, random, and mass-stickered style.
Well, the general plot is you find yourself in some village where letters and grammar take precedence. The platforms and structures are even decorated with letters! After meeting a local, you learn that the guy who is in charge of spelling has disappeared. You must go out to find him!
The level is based around two gameplay elements: Grabinators (which in my opinion are underused, and the ability to create a 'minion.' You must use your minions (you can either make them stand still or follow you) to solve the numerous puzzles. So yeah, it's a puzzly platformer.

Well, I'll be thinking of a name and will alert you as soon as possible. I promise it won't sound like a crazy firestarter's name 2012-09-27 20:54:00

The concept alone cracks me up, and I love the art style - indeed very Mnniskaish!

I'm looking forward to checking this one out.

Ooooh thats clever... But the only problem with that it'll be an impossible level to search for!!

Eheh, yes I know it's very similar, though it is sort of developing into my own style.

Well, thought I'd add a few more photos. I think this level is going to be reasonably short, so I guess I'm 75% done.

"Grabby Grammar Groupies" in reference to the minion gameplay.

Or name it after the missing spelling guy: "Phil Literate"

Or another catchy reference to the gameplay based on the popular baby toy: "Seek and Spell"

All good ideas guys, thanks. I'm being plagued with a bug at the moment, where if the 'Minion' that gets shot out of a Creatinator is killed the game freezes. I need to test whether this glitch happens on others' games, as well, so i shall have to lock it on my earth and give a certain person the key. I posted a more detailed thread about my problem in the help section.2012-10-18 19:16:00

UPDATE: its nearly done, I'd say all i gotta do is go through and add sound effects, then do some last minute stickering, then publish! Probably tomorrow, hopefully. (:
Oh, and the Minion only freezes when it is killed with horrible gas, but its fine with plasma.
