Another Knytt Stories collaboration, this time by myself and other members of Nifflas’ Support Forum. Unlike Rainy Day Adventure, which was made in just a few weeks, Endless Winter took over two years to see completion. This level offers a choice between scenic and challenging paths, placing difficulty more or less in the hands of the player. Nonetheless, a large amount of backtracking and exploration is required, so I wouldn’t recommend this level to Knytt Stories newcomers.

Snowflake was planned as an entry for caevstroy and dave.germain’s infamous No Solid Objects competition, but extreme dissatisfaction with the level design (or lack thereof) caused me to abandon it. Prompted by Healy, I put some finishing touches on Snowflake and released it, but the level design is essentially as I left it in 2010. The best aspects of this level are the amazing music by Fearofdark and the background art (viewable here, level spoilers) which I drew with a ballpoint pen.
Juni Jones: Ace Attorney was made for Peppyhare4000’s Bad Level competition. As a result of this, playing it is likely to annoy you. The endings are especially subpar. It features music I made (or at least assume responsibility for), including a song originally created for Snowflake to fulfil caevstroy’s assessment criterion of “bizzare custom music with samples of barnyard creatures”.

More Oh Man Go Time sequels. Oh Man Go Time Gaiden: Gaiden is a spin-off of a spin-off; specifically, it builds on Healy’s unfinished tribute to the series, Oh Man Go Time Gaiden. It was initially made for Klik of the Month Klub #57, but later transplanted into Pirate Kart V, where it went on to confuse anyone who encountered it without being intimately familiar with the Knytt Stories engine.
OH MAN GO TIIIM3 was made in response to Healy’s challenge to release a Knytt Stories level within a week. It was conceived mostly as a tech demo to test some of my ideas for unintended usage of the Knytt Stories engine, but the results didn’t end up being all that impressive. You never know until you try!

Four Pirate Kart V submissions too questionable for solo posts. The first, Stop Using Your Gut: How to Efficiently Measure ROI was yet another Kickstarter reward based on the suggestion “make a game based on the title of any talk scheduled for GDC”. This time, inspiration was provided by Curtis Onuczko of BioWare Edmonton. The second, Coolmann, is a Choose Your Own Adventure game built in Twine. It was a collaboration with two friends of mine (who may or may not have been inebriated at the time) which was released under the pseudonym ‘Von Lemaggio’.
The third, Pixel Perfect Gaiden, is a fangame of toaster’s Pixel Perfect also inspired by Jory Griffis’ Pixel Perfect 3.5: Fan Mix. It was my first foray into GameMaker HTML5. The fourth, The Negging Wife: Gaiden: The Rhinoceros Poop Adventures is a sprite edit of markp0rter’s The Nagging Wife: The Dog Poop Adventures.
My first contribution to Pirate Kart V: The 2012-in-one Glorious Developers Konference Kollection. This Pirate Kart was displayed at GDC thanks to Kickstarter funding, with project backers able to choose from a variety of rewards. A popular reward was the creation of a game based on the backer’s specifications, with one such request being “make a game based on the title of any talk scheduled for GDC”.
This level was based on a talk by Dennis Ryan of Popcap Games. The music used is The Wise Tortoise by Shnabubula, from his magnificent album Free Play. Kudos to Noyb for building a special Knytt Stories player for the Pirate Kart V launcher.

A short Knytt Stories level in which your ability to jump is taken away from you.

9 days is a Knytt Stories level made for the Shift Use / Day and Night competition held by jetio4 and Talps. It features some pretty ambitious (or maybe just stupid) use of the Knytt Stories engine. I talk about the level in more depth, including the soundtrack I made, over at Nifflas’ Support Forum, so head there if you think you might be interested.

This is a really small Knytt Stories level I made for Healy’s Urban Environments competition. The environment loops and there’s no ending, so just quit when you’ve had enough.

Of these three Knytt Stories levels, only Quest for Phallic Flora is potentially worth playing, and just barely. Knytt Without a Cause is an adaptation of Pac-Man Without a Cause which was made for Knytt of the Month* Klub #6. Quest for Phallic Flora is a surreal and disturbing collaboration with rhetoricstu. It Keeps Happening is a tribute to Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff that I made with Jacob… no wait, it’s a re-skin of Knytt Without a Cause. These last two were both made for Knytt of the Month* Klub #7.
