Now released: A Day At The Beach

by Solo Hans · in Marble Blast · 03/26/2006 (1:33 am) · 34 replies

I thought I'd give the MarbleBlast forum members 'a head up' on my new level. I started a new level inspired by the
unused textures in the data/interior folder. A Day At The Beach will use water and sand textures (6 in all) and some
custom interiors. It will be a simple level with medium gold time and NO, repeat NO qualification time(after all it is ADATB).
I promise some surprises and fun.

Expected release date: April 1 2006. :)) edit: Actual release: April 17, 2006.

I did a 1:15.50 minutes recording (video is 1:39 minutes I think). It's 20 MBs in size (21.5 MBs without the winzip).
You can see I could've done better had I got the super speed and actually hit the gravity modifier after I bounced once on the beachball, instead of stopping and getting it. Shall we say, Sub 1:10 minutes?



Bobby, if you have MSN, I can send it to you.

I once had AIM but it was too annoying to use. You'd have to download MSN.
I'll try and upload them on YouTube and send you the link.

Oh, and my nickname was just IsraeliRedDragon ;)

UPDATE:

You can now watch on YouTube the video!

Sorry for the bad quality, but you get the general idea very easily!

Put it in your address bar and enjoy watching it! It runs for 1:39 minutes and is for a gold time run, and even for a sub 1:10 minutes run (had I hit the gravity modifier instead of stopping on the beachball).

Matan,

Enjoyed the video and commentary! Thanks for advertisement too.

I think you enjoyed Vortexia from the sound of it.

Fun Factor - 5000 out of 10
Creative reuse of MBG parts - 5000 out of 10
Challenge - 5000 out of 10
Thought Factor - 5000 out of 10
Overall Score - 20000 out of 40.
Amazing. Super fun with the objects such as the waves, ship (or was it a shark), and vortexia (or something like that) I don't even have to explain how creative you where with the reuse. Very challenging, because of drowning, jellyfish, bomb+whirlpool area, and dungeon. Once again, I don't have to explain how much thought was put into this. If we had a vote, this level would be the winner of level of the year. You deserve a medal.

Thanks for kind words!

It was a tough level to create, but I had a lot of help from Matan(who alpha and beta tested it).

My next level will be easier, more fun (to make and play) and less interiors. I have an idea, but don't want to give it away yet. It's going to be interesting, that I promise.

This level had 134 video views.
King of the Mountain (WR Pathway) with 149, Will o' Wisp with 113 and Moto-Marblecross (WR Pathway) had 104 views. Those top 4 videos, all had above 100 views each. In total, they all sum up to 500 views!
After that, 79 to marble playground (WR Broken in Action), 77 to Escher's and 75 to Moebius strip.
I thought other levels which give people a really hard time would be more popular, seems like not :(.

Almost 2500 video views in total for around 55-56 videos!
