Also, whilst we're on the subject of glitches, in R1P15C15 if you walk off the end of the wooden walkway (the end closest to the well) Abe falls into the bottom floor of the first secret from the original game. But if you put a pit in there i'm sure that'd fix the problem though.

And also in R1P15C21, If you run into the wall furthest left, before the scrab comes, you pass through the wall, similar to the problem mention before really, and then you can keep walking into the next screen but again you fall into the bottom floor of the first secret from the original game.

Yeah, and if you hop into the wall next to the door in R1P15C10, you end up in Rupture Farms, and if you try to get back you kinda get frozen into the wall.

As soon as these problems are sorted you'll be onto a cracking map!

What I found fun was opening up the .lvl file in Paul's 0.6 and seeing how the level had been laid out.

This is amazing! It feels like a totally new Abe game!
I love the necrum style start. The inside kinda reminds me of bonewerkz for some reason.
Can't wait to see more.

I hope it doesen't end up like Bonewerkz (in terms of level design not cam design) because in my opinion that was the worst level in AE.

I meant with some worn out bricks on some parts.
I didn't get too far, I think I got past he first scrab and ten I kept messing up on the UXB so eventually I gave up. I hadn't played it in a long time though.

Thanks for notices on those glitches, I'll deal with them. In terms of level design you could suggest your layouts if you feel like doing so. Your suggestions would be appreciated.

Oh Zaarin don't trust me there. You know I would just end up placing an evil giant red arrow ;)

What AO or AE level's design do you think is the best? Currently I'm planning traditional Hub design.

Edit: it seems that I've sorted out the wall problem. Again it's that level design "descrecy" I've been talking about. Wall collision items are to be placed within sertain number of Abe's footsteps from the cam's edge. For example if you place a wall 2.5 steps away from cam's end Abe could "step over" the collision item. I've experimented on R1P15C21 wall and this approach solved the problem.

I had that problem once. I wondered why it was happening.
Also, will there be any more demos to come?

When more screens are complete I'll release another demo. I think it would be when I complete Zulag1.

Now I'm doing the hardest job - thinking of some puzzles for Zulag1.

What I don't want happening is that a load of demo's get released so we end up playing the entire variation but in small chunks. I say no more demo's *runs away* as I'd rather have the brand new experience all in one shot.

Add more blood to scenes, please!

Yes, you are right. I'll better release the whole thing or at least a large episode. The episode thing may be a good idea since I could work more efficient that way and receive suggestions for the next episodes. But anyway the episode should be plot-wise consistent.

Hey guys I thought I would post an update on what's happening because I can't help but feel I've left you all in a mystery after complained about production problems with my Scrabania variation. As you know I was working on another Scrabania variation. This is on hold for now until I can figure out how to stop those damn Scrabs from respawning. So since this is on hold I am working on the Stockyards again. I personally find this to be my favourite level to edit. I've completed the first path [E1PATH.BND!6] so far.

Holy duck **** looks awesome. But could someone do or try to do a video about those levels so more pepole can see it and also should i play and have experience on it? I don't got the game on pc.... :(

If people want to make videos of my levels and upload them (probably to Youtube) then that's fine by me. However I won't be making videos of my levels simply because people will then know how to solve the puzzles and that takes away the fun.

The only problem is that fraps doesn't record Abe's Oddysee at all.
It just won't pick up the program and record it. :/

Hypercam2 does the trick providing you tell it to record the correct part of the screen. Meech would you be willing to verify the difficulty for me again? On my Stockyards variation.

Stockyards? They can be HARD-INSANE. Why are you asking others?

?

Did you not read the quote? All is explained there.

He's an idiot. I wouldn't bother trying to explain things to him.

And yes Jenny, I'd love to test out your map. ♥

If you are meat, I'll say

- ERROR

Actually, he's twelve and English is his second language.

TRUE

The video dosen't need to be walkthrough or speed run. Like a trailer or something like that.

A trailer? Just for a level? Sounds pointless in my opinion.

So boring! We need levels, not trailers.

Just the final path left to do on my Stockyards variation and then it's complete. I might skip the verification process and give this one an insane rating. Even I'm finding it hard when I'm testing it.
