Author Topic: [WIP] [CHAPTER] Retro for all Ages  (Read 1246 times)

--UPDATE: Due to problems with the first level, this chapter is going on hold until the real level editor comes out. Sorry!--
Hello Gentlemen, this is my first custom Chapter. I call it, Retro for all Ages. It basically uses the old looking tilesets (retro01, 4bit, and GB).

Expect mild challenge, overwhelming retro, and THE MOTHER OF ALL SAW LAUNCHERS!  

Bonus One: Lights of Retro (Title Screen)
Picture
Download
Note: Due to having it upload again (I messed up the spawn), when you copy it into your levels folder, you may want to rename it to 'lightsofretro.smbl'.

Level One: Get a Glitch (V2)
Download
Picture link
Note: Filesmelt isn't working properly, tell me if this picture link doesn't work...

Level Two: Time Trial
Picture
Download

Edit: Must have accidentally posted before level was finished... added first level.

Update: Looks like I accidentally posted too early. Oops!

Level One (Lights of Retro) is completed. It's small and pathetic, but it serves as a good intro.

It may be small but tucking away in the corner to protect myself from the Beam was hard to pull of in that small of a time from. Not bad. Might want to extend it because after that first bit their wasn't really anything to worry about or to challenge me with.

The first level was meant to be kind of an intro / title level. (Thus the RETRO sign at the bottom).

The next levels will present more of a challenge, don't worry. :P

Edit: Actually, I think I'll change it to a 'Bonus Level' rather than the first...

Was their any point to that room on the left? That's the first area I went into only to quickly get killed by the moving beam from the other side.

Wait, crap.

When I tested it I accidentally must have left the spawn in the middle... I'll fix that in a jiffy.

Also, level one is here! Get a Glitch! It's a mix of black and white and full color Glitch world! ENJOY!

(Check the first post for the new download for Bonus Level One and Level One!)

I'm on a roll here!
New level: Time Trial!

Can you get to Bandage Girl before her platform is destroyed completely?

Note: It's a bit easy, but the difficulty will steadily rise over the next few levels.

Pretty cool looking levels! I'm sure you could time Bandage girl to fall using Obstacle mode.
You should think about fixing the camera. By pressing C and shift-click dragging a box around your level, you can restrict the camera.

It would be worth changing the background by the saw launcher. It is very hard to see the saw.

devmode tip!  It won't matter soon when the portal launches, but in the mean time its easier for users if you name your levels similarly
ex; rfaa1, rfaa2, rfaa3...rfaa20

I'll have more feedback in a couple when I actually play the levels  

Edit: Feedback!
Intro - Its easy enough barring that one tiny gap at the very beginning.  I'd either make it harder and use it as a bonus level, or make that one jump easier.

Get A Glitch - I couldn't finish the level since part of it was off screen so I couldn't see what I was doing.  Other than that it looked fine.

Time Trial - Besides the fact that Bandage Girl doesn't fall its a fine level.

Overall - None of the levels are too spectacular, but assuming the set continues to get harder its a noble first attempt.  I'd give it between a 6.5 and a 7.0 out of 10 if I had to grade it.  Don't get discouraged, you gotta start somewhere and devmode is a bitch to use (that's why I'm waiting for the level editor  )

Part of the level is off the screen in Get a glitch?

I'll see if I can unrestrict the camera, it might be because I have widescreen, and what fits for me doesn't fit for your tiny baby screens.

... Back again, the whole level pretty much breaks when I try to change or remove the camera... I'll see if I can create a replacement level for get a glitch

Yeah, its the wall (or whatever is supposed to be there) on the right hand side.

Oh, well I could probably fix that myself... do you use widescreen or normal (4:3)?

I'm in regular and windowed mode (doubt windowed vs unwindowed matters, but the more info the better).

Cool!  I hope Team Meat does something to fix this problem though.  It would be a shame to see the community divided by things like this happening more frequently.
