As some of you may know, I've been working on an Episode pack for the past oh...I dunno....6 years?
I originally didn't want to get beta testers, cause I put so much work into it I didn't want people telling me the levels are bad.
Well it looks like this may be the final thing i upload, unless the new revision of JJ2+ catch my eye. So I'm looking for a few beta testers to help fix bug and gameplay issues.
A little background:
I started working on these when I was like 12 or something. I'm 18 now. My old designs were bad, filled with bugs, impossible to solve puzzles and masking bugs as far as the eyes can see
As I grew up over the years, I learned a lot about level design. Many tilesets and ideas were inspired by The invasion of Deserto, which I held as an idol. My dream was be conspired to but, until reality kicked in and I really learned what it took to make amazing levels.
Over the years I've been slowly workin on this, fixing older bugs from older levels, making new ones, trying to come up with original ideas and here I am now.
Currently the pack is 17 levels long, 7 or so of them being full levels and the rest being boss battles or story levels. I've tired my hardest to fix lots of issues, but i feel the pack still suffers from hard-impossible to solve puzzles, enemy overloads, tilebugs and foreground/masking issues. So I'm looking to help solve this.
What I'm looking for:
I'm looking for a few testers to help solve the problems that levels may have:
-Puzzle issues
-General bugs
-Masking
-Tilebugs
-Overall flow and fun
However I also want people who are constructive. I don't want people who will simply say that there's say tons of masking issues. I want people to explain where, using pictures or in game positions.
I also want people who can help solve issues. Let's say there's a concept that simply isn't fun or doesn't work. Instead of just saying that, I would want ideas on how to make it fun without completely having to re-make the challenge/level.
Basically put, I don't want to have to re-do large portions of levels simply because I'm running out of ideas.
Testers would not only be allowed, but would be encouraged to edit my levels. By doing so, you can help to better convey ideas and to let me see if I like them or not.
So with that, just let me know if you want to help. Just leave your email and once I've finished up a few things, I'll send it out for testing. I expect to be done ironing out a few known issues in a week or 2.
Now here's a few screenshots:
