Foray In The Cherry Blossom Forest (FITF spin-off)

Post by Roobar »

OK guys, here's a little surprise for you. For the past two days I've been working on this demo inspired by Nisaba's work on Foray In The Forest:

Download Foray In The Cherry Blossom Forest v1.3

Image

Basically it's a spin-off of Foray In The Forest
1 level demo using Nisaba's trees and some modified The Lion King (the game) tiles, as well as some new ones.

Version 1.3 (19.01.2020):
Yet another small update.
* Updated KEENGINE to v0.63.0
* You can now enter the spaceship level
* New level added (under construction)
* New music track
* New graphics (2 new backgrounds, new tileset, new butterfly, additional tiles)
* A few level1 tweaks and graphic fixes
* A few actors fixes
* Updated the help menu, so the game now feels more complete

Update v1.2 (26.05.2019):
This new version brings mostly "under the hood" new features and fixes.
* Updated KEENGINE to v0.62.3. With this update it is now possible to add features similar to what Planet Cloudius IX offers and it paves the way for new possibilities in the future.
* Paddle war updated.
* Added sound effects for the waterfalls.
* Several small changes and fixes in the map.
* Updated several pick-up items.
* Several new sounds added.
* Stunner now gives you 5 ammo instead of 8.
* Cheat codes can now be activated by pressing A+2+Enter.

Update v1.1:
* now with high scores and new music track
* appropriate demo;
* several tile fixes and level adjustments. Better for speedruns.

Spin-Off of a yet unreleased mod. yay!
the level is very enjoyable. interesting expansion of the Keeniverse, though. I like the way you used the pink-leaf-trees. funny that it reminded you of The Lion King. I remember playing this game at a friends house, when I was a kid. this is bringing back sweet memories.
even though my level is also vertical orientated it won't have this kind of Simba flavour to it. but nevertheless, I got inspired by one thing or another, so stay tuned.
and thanks again for the stunned sprite of the Flumpy.

I really enjoyed this level. Could it be the same Keen Engine Rübennase and King Duke created?
I am not sure, it`s a long time since I saw it. :) It`s a great level and I want more.

I think King Duke still work with the engine. So there is an issue with the gravity when you jump. Even
at a pole you can jump normal without any effect of gravity.

Thanks for stealing and approving guys.

Network: Yeah, when you start the game, it says with big letters that it is using KEENGINE. I wonder how you missed that.
As for the "issues" you have: consider it as an improvement. Jumping up on a pole is now much faster. Better for speed runs as well.

Also, I've updated this to v1.1:
- now with working high scores and new music track
- appropriate demo;
- several tile fixes and level adjustments.

And finally, if someone is interested, here's the whole level in a single picture:
