I’m glad my feedback can give you some ideas to improve this gem!
I did realise that it’s very hard to implement a checkpoint without changing the whole level design, it’s more a flaw from ReDesigner’s limitations rather than one from the level itself, and that also applies to the way some objects like Coloured Tings respawn as you mentioned it yourself.
Though, I believe there might a way to implement a checkpoint without too much effort. The spot with the killdoor switch that removes the stopsign should be converted into a small room that would contain both a checkpoint and a small gendoor placed inside the photographer’s board (plus a magic seed as usual). The gendoor will spawn an extra Bzzit behind the stopsign (at least, where it used to be). It may break the immersion a bit if the players happen to see two Bzzits (though, I’m sure they’ll understand), but it would make the gameplay less stressful, which is much more important.
I tried it by myself very quickly in the editor and it works. Put the switch before the Photographer, that way, players will notice it more easily every time and will have fewer chances of seeing two Bzzits in the case they decide to ignore the checkpoint. Though, that’s just my idea and there might exist an even better way of doing this.
I’m not surprised it can take that much time for some people! The controls of this rocket have always been something quite hard to use.TheDuke wrote: Fri Jan 29, 2021 11:52 am- Only 5 minutes for the rocket cage? a friend of mine put 30 thereAnyway i think i will make it easier, you are not the first to complain.
Ah, now I understand why this part felt so ‘Designer-ish’ to me compared to the rest of the level!
I still personally believe it would have been better to make it its own separate level as both that chapter and this section would stand stronger on their own, but I understand!
And anyway, while it’s possible to move sections to other levels through the txt files, it would take too much work to separate the pirate-themed areas and the mountain’s entrance from this section and to move them somewhere else in the level, especially since ReDesigner doesn’t have a feature to copy or move stuff between sections.
I’m not surprised as it’s a problem nearly everyone designing levels will have at some point! It’s difficult to think of every spot where a player could backtrack (or where they should be prevented from backtracking in some particular occasions), especially when there are so many other things to focus on.TheDuke wrote: Fri Jan 29, 2021 11:52 am- I hadn't thought about the possibility of having to go back to get themI will definitely remove the green tings in the first initial part before the checkpoint,
- oops 2
- I will try to reduce the number of green tings.
Though, rather than simply removing the cloud and its killdoor, maybe it could be better to add another one which will spawn through a gendoor at the end of the platform with the pirates. I believe you initially wanted to make the cloud disappear not to distract the player or to prevent them from going away when they have to fight the pirates, so you might as well stick with the original idea while providing a replacement for the cloud after the battle.
I’ll definitely check it again when I have the time and if you do release an update! It was tons of fun for the most part and I would be glad to enjoy it with fewer frustrations!
I ought to get around to playing you guys' levels too. They sound like a lot of fun! Maybe I'll make my own level someday too.
