Technos, your ideas are so original and good. Your new systems are very well done. Your levels are very interesting for I finished them within 3 hours

Just completed Test #5 without having to risk getting spiked. It IS Pop magic that this demo focuses on, isn't it?

Then I assume you left that in the adventure intentionally, right?

Very clever!

A screenshot of one void test. The same exact textures changed to purple! There will be purple stars and spikeyballs

EDIT: I was also planning to make trailers for this hub project. Starting the first one... now.

The purple bridges look good!

I need help.

Test #18, I can't figure out what to do in the area with the Scritter.

Scritter solution for test 18

before guiding the scritter, walk around and look for invisible buttons. That's what the "broken" hint was trying to say. To expect the buttons, one of the fire pits will turn off. This may require some pen and paper to remember where they are. Then guide the scritter to the invisible button around the right side of the room. When it's on the button, the fire pit on the tall wall will turn off. Now you can continue.

Erm... I found a way to cheat right before I saw your post...

Chase Scritter to the Star. Chasing Scritter over GCs will keep the Star active when you try to collect it

Oops!

oh well. I'll fix that problem for Demo 2

Anyways I'm working on the trailer before I work on other purple tests. It's going to be real similar to the Portal 2 E3 trailers and it's going to include animation. I'll have it ready tomorrow on Youtube!

Nice! But you only have POP and part of BLINK done so... not a very long video, I'm guessing!

My favo(u)rite part of this demo: "This weighted Companion Crab will accompany you through the test. Please take care of it!"

One last thing...

Seems like a dialogue out of the Mystery Malfunction level from MOFI...

Didn't you recolor the pictures using picture manager by adjusting saturation and hue settings?

Technos, are you planning to do the same location for custom textures?

Technos72 · Post by **Technos72** » Wed Dec 15, 2010 8:16 pm

I guess so.

UPDATE

20% done purple levels

15% done all levels

After finishing Void Test 10 I was planning to make the Blink trailer and reupload the pop trailer to HQ. I'll select one of the ten purple levels that I find is best appropriate for the blink trailer.

Well you don't have to pop on the grilled stone button on the left side of the level. That's how I solved it!

I'm taking a break after a week and a half of working on this.

Guppy Star · Post by **Guppy Star** » Tue Dec 21, 2010 9:57 am

Alright! Do it soon then

gameboy991 · Post by **gameboy991** » Tue Dec 21, 2010 9:34 pm

I'm just as eager as you are, but Technos said he was going to take a break and work on some 3D Game Maker game.

boywhoflies · Post by **boywhoflies** » Wed Dec 22, 2010 1:42 am

Doom Adventure.

Help! I can't seem to get the textures working

The texture that appears is the plains one. How can I get them to work?

Technos72 · Post by **Technos72** » Fri Dec 24, 2010 8:33 pm

Do you mean the wasteland one? The yellow one?
