Other XANID (The Platformer)

[cleeezzz]

Does the map start? No errors? Screen stays black? Give me more details!

Working on some sort of manual for this as seen on the first page.

 

[Furby]

Nice manual, I like the style. Good job. :thup:

Nice manual, I like the style. Good job. :thup:

Ditto!

Is it meant to be hard to see and really really dark?

 

[Uberplayer]

I can see perfectly. In the next version lights are "previewed" so they won't turn on just when they come to camera view.

Does the map start? No errors? Screen stays black? Give me more details!

edit: ok now it works, weird

I must say this map looks awesome. I will test it soon.

Hey Uber, nice to meet you here, too. I'm looking forward to see your next version soon - hopefully I might review more than just one level. (;

 

[Uberplayer]

Going for it again. What do you think?

 

[Uberplayer]

To get this finished somewhere between now and the end of world, I have decided to make this just a linear platformer as it was and should have been.

 

[Moradiae]

wow, this looks really awesome and unique to most wc3 maps!!

Trying it out atm


==== 1st Edition

Err., I was just reading through the entire thread and found the proper one from epicwar (not the demo), so I assume that will be the one with many levels


but anyway, did the demo testing, and here's what I thought about it:

First, lightings.. it was really dark at first and there's no normal warcraft interface at all (screenshot 5), is this intended? (I mean, I pressed F10 to get the menu and it was suddenly brighter for some reason (screenshot 3)

Had to adjust the gamma level to play but damn there's no mouse cursor and it was really hard to change the it!!! good thing I normally use -windows so I have some clue where the mouse is by moving it in from outside

but after adjusting, it all works fine now (screenshot 1 and 4)

Need to show unit hp!!, I don't know when I would die there and was suddenly dead while swimming in the pool of poison (I presume)

===================================

The Platformer 1.1b
yay, this was the one people are talking about!
Died at level 2 (screenshot 2)

there is a unit hp!!!, so good thing there

It was very frustrating when u've gotta jump on many small platforms, or maybe it's just me not very used to the movement system here yet

sorry the screenshot numbers are weird, didn't know the order will be messed up after I posted

Your settings for Warcraft III are kind of low, looking at settings dialog. Increasing them could fix that darkness. There's no need for the normal Warcraft interface, you're not going to be using it anyway. I haven't yet figured out a good way to show it's health, it's a to-do.

Just to clear this out. The Platformer 1.1b is the old one, XANID is the new one and I'm working on it.

Thanks for feedback and playing/testing both of them .

Hey.

I would recommend spamming levels. Literally. Make 20-30 levels, they don't have to have new content or anything, just add a lot of game-play time to the game (that doesn't necisarily involve dying a lot of times) and in my oppinion you will have a masterpiece.
