I present to you Minola's Story

The test level. It is without storyline, cut scenes, NPCs and fighting

Any feed back is greatly appreciated.

I started this a very long time ago, as an attempt to join with =GirlFlash's Viviscape and ~westykid's Nevermore 2 (both of which you should go and check out... after playing Minola's Story! ^-^).

It had been sitting on my computer untouched for about a year now left behind the giants - namely UNI, so i figured I should at least finish off the level (to a playable standard) and upload here for you.

________________________________________

NOTE

Although it may not appear so this game is incredibly graphic-intensive (also, I am not the best coder). Please, if you find it lagging reduce the quality from the buttons to the right

________________________________________

LOOKING FOR MUSIC

Originally I had "Peephole" by System of a Down as the soundtrack to the town of VON (the town seen in this version of the game). I think the music fits with the atmosphere I wanted to create for this area (perhaps not the lyrics so much... more focusing on the sounds), but obviously I will never get legal permission to use it.

If anyone knows of any similar ("Circus-ish rock") free music dont hesitate to let me know :D

CONTROLS

W - jump
A - left
D - right
Space - menu
Curser - interact / attack


Tip: Press jump, then left or right (straight) after.
Tip2: You cannot land on pointy roofs

PROLOUGE

"In a world of magik, mystery and oddity a great change (and not for the better) has begun its plague.

The flat worlds inhabitants, creatures, birds, bugs and monsters and even the land is being infected and brought to its seemingly unstoppable will.

The mystics, the wise, the wizards and witches foresaw all but none expected at such a time.

Believed is the defiance of the sacrifice, a myth followed and practiced for all time until recent ages. The myth entails the world and its destiny. Such a flat landscape is mere logic - as a coin to have not but a head but also a tail, while unlike a coin, the two sides never to meet.
The said curse is to be dormant if and only the first born child of each is thrown to its fate in the Pit Craverse on its fifth day of wake to the world.

Generations of late with frail faith misbelieved such a prophecy to their dismay. An easier journey against the “old wives tail”, defiance and thus risk of the world’s fate became accepted..."

Cake for anyone who "gets it"

Umm.... Well do I get cake? =P I found mort and I collected all the seeds of doubt...

I was looking for the secret one.... and I tried clicking on everyone including the band, clicking on everything I could and stuff until I was in the section with no people and the windmill turning in the background.. and I jumped off the roof clicking and i feel through the floor @_@ I gather that wasn't the secret =P

Well... so far I have both of the non-secret achievements... hmmm... NEED TO FIND THE SECRET ONE.

P.S. this game is great, you're a brilliant creative mind, you just need the free time to complete all your projects. :P

I really like this, the only time it lagged for me was when there was the blurry steam effects were on the screen, if you could lower the quality of that at all it shouldnt be a problem though :)

as for the rest I really like it, from the cool multi detail multi distance backgrounds to the upside down text, it all looks good. and it feels pretty good to play too, though having one frame of jumping feels a bit perculiar for such a lanky character, so if its possible at least seperate it into a rising and falling animation and it will feel loads better.

with the right background audio this will really be kicking ass :+fav:
