No images yet. Beta download below. 1 area out
Info:

• Size: 20x20
• Rooms: Unknown (I might not use all 400)
• Difficulty: Medium-High
• Difficulty curve: 45^o
• Missing crewmembers: We don't use crewmembers as currency, we just have "Area Complete" terminals. There are 16 of these, along with 4 final levels (only done after all the other levels are complete). Then, there's a secret area with a few hints as to the nature of viridian's pocket dimension...

Changelog:

• Beta 1: Initial download. One area is almost complete. (I actually completed it but apparently the \ key crashed the game...and i forgot to save)
• Beta 2: Completed area 1. Started and completed area 2. Started area 3 (about 15% done).

Download:
BETA 1.

Interesting, and I've saved the crewmate.
Add a music first, you can do that in the main menu of level editor 'Esc'
Just something to be aware of, the walls are inconsistent in many rooms on both sides of warping direction.
This includes:
'You're wasting by reading this' -->1 wall tile more at the right side.
'Help I'm looping and can't get out' --> 1 wall tile more at the right side and left side each
'Down Spike Dead' is very inconsistent in walls. Although I understand you want to make both ways possible...
1. Your warp token destination can lead to player getting stuck in walls. Leave a pixel place above and under the destination to avoid this.
2. After you've taken the warp token, go right and flip, you can get stuck in the 2 pixel width walls below.
'Bittersweet Harmony' --> 1 wall tile more at the right side

The design is good, and I find the coding interesting. Just be aware of the wall tiles placement when warping is involved. Never underestimate player's ability to go the wrong way

Fixed in 1.1

Also, beta one of S1 E02 is out. (It is titled "Untitled Level" because I am lazy and forgetful. Sorry.)

Wait, so this is sorta like a multi-part level?
I was gonna do something like that, then got lazy and never finished the first cutscene

More like me putting all my levels into one forum thread because I am lazy, with a loosely connected story.

So yeah, totally a multipart level.

Anyway, what do you think of it?

Legit bump. We are now on BETA 2 for S01E02 - I've completed area 1, completed area 2, and started on area 3.
