The Zettaxian Archives (10 Years on DWare!)

[Zettex]

As of today (June 30, 2023), it has been ten years since I first signed up to this forum. (Yes, I know, the account I'm using right now is just over a year old, but I deleted my old account out of embarrassment for reasons that will soon be very clear. I was previously known as "weee50".)

My history with this community was... a bit strange. When I first joined these forums in 2013, I was a literal 7-year-old who had just finished (American) second grade, and I certainly acted as such in my posts from the time. Yep, I had unrestricted internet access back then, and I'm surprised I didn't turn out very differently because of it. I even made some levels and posted them here around this time, although they're about as bad as you would expect from levels made by a 7-year-old. However, as time went on, I slowly matured and became more bearable. (Seriously, I'm surprised I wasn't banned during my first year on the forums.) After making two levels in 2013, I didn't release any more levels until 2017 with The New Adventure, although I did still semi-regularly engage with the community in the intervening years. Later in 2017, I joined the Discord server, by which point I was acting somewhat tolerably, although I still wasn't even 12 years old. I also continued to release levels, mostly for contests and other special events, until I once again became inactive in 2020. Interestingly, over half of my levels were published before I turned 13 (the youngest age you're actually supposed to be to register here). Now, it's 2023, and I'm 17 and about to head off to college. I've certainly changed a lot in the past ten years, and I'm glad this community existed even if I do regret joining it so early.

Anyway, enough personal blabbering, onto the archive! This archive contains every solo VVVVVV level I've ever released to the public in any capacity, along with two bonus ones that were shelved in a releasable state. (The Grand Majestic is not included because it wasn't a solo project.) Every level in this pack has new metadata with information about when the level was published and a retrospectively written description. However, for historical preservation purposes, the levels themselves are almost completely unchanged from their originals, with the only exceptions being the fixing of a few game-breaking bugs (e.g. softlocks, impossible sections, broken cutscenes) and the updating of my username in certain parts.

There is also a README text file included, which contains notes about individual levels that wouldn't fit in the description.

Without further ado, here's the collection!
