manic986 Posted December 3 Author Report Share Posted December 3 Currently I am remaking Manic Miner 2 (schultze version) in Scratch using the engine I created before. Not that I think that is the best game or anything but (it does reuse a lot of the graphics which is a big pain point so helps me) and it does abuse the MM engine quite a lot with jumping through screens every which way, jumping through walls to get keys, infinite falls, paper only blocks etc, etc. I've got the first 13 levels working so far. Questioning my sanity along the way but its also quite fun to try to figure out how to recreate some of the behaviour. So @jetsetdanny, if you are wondering why that walkthrough video on youtube is getting all the views recently, that would be me I guess. haha. jetsetdanny 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manic986 Posted December 6 Author Report Share Posted December 6 What do folks think of Cavern 16 with title "Die Roboter kommen" in Manic Miner 2? That's the one with the hidden keys and the hidden portal with 2 fake portals. It also has fake keys. I think the fake keys and hidden keys are kind of fun but the hidden portal is a little much as you have to be prepared to die to find it where it is placed. I decided to keep it hidden until all the keys are collected and then let it flash but heavily ghosted so you may or may not notice it initially. I know that is not exactly a spectrum feature but I think the hidden portal concept is interesting but cruel where it is placed at least on that level. jetsetdanny and Spider 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spider Posted December 6 Report Share Posted December 6 I think showing it after all keys collected is a sensible idea, that way the player is not jumping randomly into something that's invisible. 🙂 Plus for the first time they play that cavern they'll not be able to judge the best routes to the Portal if its time or guardian critical. jetsetdanny and manic986 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manic986 Posted December 8 Author Report Share Posted December 8 Here is what I have so far. Almost there... Might be able to finish it next weekend. All the screens are done. Just got to tidy things up a bit and make the title screen etc. SymbolShift, jetsetdanny and Spider 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
