When creating a world, is there a way to have one music file play on first entry of a screen, then a different music file on re-entry?

Yeah warping is going to be your best option there.

I don't think I'm ready to deal with warping just yet -- I've got nowhere near the attention to technical/atmospheric detail that dessgeega and vision have, but I'm slowly figuring out the nuances of the editor.

An example of a loop from my work-in-progress:

Looks pretty sweet, dude. Its nice and minimal, even before decoration.

It'll be a good atmospheric one if you pick the right tilesets :)

What was your idea for changing music? Does it serve a specific purpose?

The skeleton's done, and I had a blast putting it together. Now I need to really figure out the aesthetic I want to go for.



...seems too cheerful.

The little section in Underwater with the white striplighting on black wasn't shabby at all. Uh, if you're seeking suggestions.

My Story is coming along pretty well!

By chance has anyone else had AStrangeDream.exe not work? I have been trying to install it for days, have downloaded it multiple times, but it just won't open.

Have you been trying to install it THROUGH the Knytt Stories program?

psiga, all the installer does is unpack the game files, so if were to simply put those game files in your "worlds" folder, they should appear on your menu. you should play them because they are elegantly and beautifully constructed.

i was disappointed to find out that locked doors and enemies don't interact the way i thought they would.

I really like the main and level pack installers. They feel unique and clean and fresh.

More games and other programs should come with nice custom installers like this. Make it a joy to use my computer!

[bat]

[dessgeega]

yes.

that is exactly what i was hoping.

I'm rebuilding parts of my level in the interest of better gameplay, and I stumbled across a fun fact: if you attempt to delete a nonexistent screen, the Level Editor crashes.

I just hope that the next version of the editor allows for multiple simultaneous tile selection. Having to draw maps one tile at a time is kind a pain, y'know?

[dessgeega]

here's a new one. it's a bit of an experiment, and i don't know whether it's successful.

Unrelated: I noticed in vision's YouTube clips that he does a lot of normal climbing, i.e. holding up or down or whatever. For some reason, whenever I attach to a wall, I start mashing jump.

yeah, i burned right through that, but it's definitely got some pretty sound design (i found myself wishing there were more save points, even though i only died once - don't add more save points).

good show, dess!

(yeah i had no idea you could just go straight up a wall either until i had my friend try to play and that was his very first instinct)

[Dracko]

dess, that was utterly delightful. Have you posted these on Nifflas' forums? I figure he'd be interested.

At first I didn't like it much, but then it started getting a bit devious, and I couldn't help but smile. Honestly still prefer the first, but this has flair. And major kudos for completing whole and cohesive levels, rather than just having a few cool screens that don't tie together so much.

I'm sure he could easily appreciate that. I just think that these could be the sort of things he'd like to see out of it.

I finally went back and finished Sky Flower. I really enjoy its usage of the single-screen wrapping mechanic, and the fact that every single screen is a challenge.

I have an old Mac, the kind that you can't just install XP on, and although I'd hoped that Knytt Stories, being a simple not-resource-intensive game, would work rather nicely in a PC emulator. I was wrong.

For a start, KS requires at least Windows 2000 rather than the svelte Win98 (I never thought I'd say that about 98... sheesh). Once I installed a copy of Windows 2000, did the service-pack dance and messed around with crazy DLLs as mentioned earlier in the thread, Knytt Stories installed and ran.... but rather sluggishly in any room with animation in it (like the rain in the tutorial area, or waterfalls), and an infuriating 15-second delay every time you move from one screen to the next... kind of kill the chill-out vibe that Knytt tries to set up.

Of course, that was in the better of the two PC emulators I had to hand. In the lesser PC emulator, I got bored of holding down the arrow keys, waiting for my avatar to move even a single pixel...

So, yes, very much natural-Windows-PC-only.

if the purpose of that level (cleared in about fifteen minutes just now) is to demonstrate the kind of gameplay concepts which i would ordinarily label unforgivable bullshit but love dearly when they happen to occur in knytt, then it's a smashing success.
