Redafro's games

[Redafro]

I wanted to share some games, levels really, I've made using a great game called Knytt Stories that comes with an editor. I'm Headgrinder on that forum. While Knytt Stories is a platform jumper game, all the player power ups are action powerups; their are no weapons. The levels I make are termed Environmental levels because they do not focus on challenge of game play so much as the visual/story experience of exploring them.

I know, I'm sharing another game makers work by linking this, but I'm mainly doing it to share some work I've made, and because some of the ideas in the games I made are actually somewhat influenced by the Submachine games. The following are links to the forum topics for the levels. You'll need to install the game to play the levels, which you can get at:

Here is my best level: The White City

A related level (in the same universe) is A Vague Feeling

I was going to do a whole series of games like this, slowly unwrapping the plot behind these two story lines, but I've twice lost all my custom made tilesets and maps.

And the final level I am quite proud of is Stone Tiers

You can also see links to a few other levels I've made in my forum signature.

I also contributed to a community level called Endless Winter, and I'm quote proud of that work too. Everything middle to left in Lab 3 is mine, plus the above ground screens entering lab3 and to either side. I think you'll definitely see the Submachine influences there. XD I'll boast and say that there where no labs in this game until I made Lab 3, though someone else made the tileset and suggested we use it. XP XD

And I can't help but suggest my favorite level: splitMind by Jigganis

And look up anything by egomassive, who has made a great mod of the Knytt Stories game. Some of yoji's early work is interesting too.

AND, very exciting, a much awaited sequel to Knytt Stories called Knytt Underground was just released. XD XD XD

So, revisiting that forum, which I haven't participated in for a long time, makes me wish that Mateusz would release a kind of Submachine Game Maker which would let you make your own Submachine games using the backgrounds and objects from the games, make your own notes, and perhaps change the color scheme of objects and backgrounds. XD It doesn't seem like Mateusz's style to do that though.

Crimany, still no comments. I really didn't think posting this would be different than posting drawings... oh well.

Well if it will help, here is a video walk through someone did of White City, but they didn't include the "notes," which to me is half the purpose of the game. So, if you at least watch that you don't have to download anything, but you miss the story. The guy says I misspelled too much. >:( Spell check failed me again. XP

Edit... and here is a screen shot from Stone Tiers, which is a fun tileset I think:

To be honest, I read the thread, but I didn't want to download the games No offense to you, Red, but I don't usually download games to my hard drive.

I checked out the Walkthrough for White City though, very cool! Any other hidden talents you'd like to share?

[Redafro]

Yeah, the story... but until I try and make a video walkthrough myself (not too likely to happen), you'd have to download the game. :/

Edit: and if it is spyware your worried about, Knytt Stories has been around for a long time without any claims of spyware against it. There is a zip of it too if you just don't want to run an install program. Just unzip, play, and delete when your done.
