Atroxian Realm 2 Level Demo
When the human race has elucidated the mechanisms behind HIV, Tb, malaria and all the other maladies, reasoned the answer to the one form of government that truly and fairly works, definitively determined the origin of the universe, adequately protected Earth against the ultimate demise of the sun and indeed the entire universe, engineered a form of agriculture that feeds our 7bn people optimally and manifold more, whilst preserving all biodiversity and environmental cleanliness, leaving a harmonious world of tolerant omniscience and omnipotence, there will remain but one question:
"What exactly is Keen10?"
Have a lovely Keen day.

The Stunned DartFrog can be stood upon (which I am a huge fan of). So riding on him in god mode makes sense. It's not a mistake, it's just that Keen wasn't meant to be invincible. ^^Scarlet wrote:So here's an observation. You can ride the froglike jumper thingy. In god mode. Is that on purpose or a mistake or?

'GENERATORS' is misspelled in the drop-down score box. It says 'GENERAORS.' Must be the grammar/spelling OCD in me.
Anyway, this looks wonderfully promising!

I was almost thinking Szemi wouldn't post any Keen 10 related post now.
I think you should add normal ammo to the beginning of the second level instead of low ammo-ammo and make it a bit harder to obtain, you could put it near the pole that leads into the underground area for example. Level 1 could use some ammo too, possibly near the exit so the player feels "prepared" for the next level.

This looks really nice! Awesome graphics all around, and with the low-key music, it builds a nice atmosphere. The Dartfrog looks dangerous enough to me, especially since it doesn't have the typical cartoonish eyes of a Keen enemy. Heck, it looks more serious than a Poison Slug.
I didn't have a problem with ammo. Some of the Dartfrogs in the second level can be lured off the edges or just pogoed over.
Also, I totally exited level two on accident due to the tile placement near those hidden stunners. I'll have to go back and play through it properly.

I couldn't stop myself and decided to download and play it .
And I'm glad I did . It is indeed very cool! Even though there are two levels only, there's a lot for exploration and tons of secrets, which adds to the atmosphere.
I find out that you can ride those birds, but you cannot control them. I managed to take one up in the first level with a bird, but I'm not sure whether this is the biggest secret or not you're talking about.
I found 1 cool easter egg in the second level. But there is a place where you can exit the level by mistake. It is at the bottom right part of the level, right after the lake. There you can enter a hidden area and accidentally exit the level.
I didn't find much problems with ammo on medium difficulty. After a bit more exploration you can secure enough ammo.
Atroxian Realm is (will be) definitely for experienced Keen players.

This is because the dartfrog was modified from the bounder, and we never removed the stand ability. I kind of forgot to do that for the demo, but I think it would be better to remove.The Stunned DartFrog can be stood upon (which I am a huge fan of). So riding on him in god mode makes sense.

Yeah, this has something to do with not having enough text room or something. It'll be resolved eventually.'GENERATORS' is misspelled in the drop-down score box. It says 'GENERAORS.' Must be the grammar/spelling OCD in me.
Regarding the ammo, I may add 1-2 rayguns in places in level 2. From what I'm hearing (and my own playtesting experience), ammo isn't really a problem if you just explore a bit to find some. Perhaps that makes the game harder, but I'm trying to avoid having too much so that on easy mode the player has virtually unlimited shots.I didn't find much problems with ammo on medium difficulty. After a bit more exploration you can secure enough ammo.
Was this memory message that the game couldn't load the level or that it couldn't load the music? Because either way, that's very bad. Many of the later levels require much, much more memory than that one. Maybe you could give me more details?Played one level (somehow get "unsufficient memory" message for the river one).
Yeah, this is a side effect of the patch that makes them push Keen. But I didn't hide any secrets in the game that require riding those things.I find out that you can ride those birds, but you cannot control them. I managed to take one up in the first level with a bird, but I'm not sure whether this is the biggest secret or not you're talking about.
I'm actually a little surprised that people are finding these levels difficult. These are by far the easiest levels in the game, and sometimes I wonder if some of the later levels are way too hard. I want to make this mod more accessible to inexperienced Keen players, but I'm not sure that is going to happen. Maybe people would prefer a bit more of a challenge?Atroxian Realm is (will be) definitely for experienced Keen players.
I'm considering releasing an update to the demo with some fixes, but it would actually be a bit of a pain to do that with how my files are setup. If people really want an updated demo, I can, but maybe it would be better just to wait until the final release?
Thanks for your comments. Btw I think you guys are all missing the giant secret in level 1. Remember, every first level has to have its secret extra lives.

I found it! But only with the use of cheats. Without the cheats, I probably wouldn't find it. It's like a whole additional level with... yet, more secrets within the secret! It's not only hard to get to the secret area, but it's also hard to find yet another secret to get the lives themselves! It's like inception. Those are probably the most well hidden lives . But it's awesome secret non the less!Gridlock wrote:Btw I think you guys are all missing the giant secret in level 1. Remember, every first level has to have its secret extra lives.
