New Adventure: The Paramount

FINALLY!!!

I finally finished this adventure! It shouldn't actually have taken this long, but since I started it a little before I left the forums for awhile, well, you get it.

This took lots of testing, testing, and testing. Portal 2 reference much?

Okay, have fun!

Yay, I've been waiting for this!

Yay, someone who likes my adventures!

Now you're making me blush. *shot*

Haha, thanks! I don't quite think they rival yours though.

Maybe not quite Emerald's quality, but close, and they certainly beat mine out by a long shot. I consider you the second best adventure designer on the forum with Emerald being the first.

I beat it.
Did you realize that the only rooms necessary to complete this adventure are the one with the fireflowers, the one with scritters and firetraps, and the one with the Indigo Thwart?

TheThaumaturge · Post by **TheThaumaturge** » Wed Jun 01, 2011 2:37 am

Oh. I think I forgot to close some of the gates. Oopsie!

Wait and I'll upload the right one. That's the one I used for testing.

@Emerald: Well, I can say that's true. We are like some of the most active adventure makers. Ab-47 is active too, though.

Master Wonder Mage · Post by **Master Wonder Mage** » Wed Jun 01, 2011 2:38 am

So that's why all the red gates were open...

TheThaumaturge · Post by **TheThaumaturge** » Wed Jun 01, 2011 2:43 am

I'm sorry for that little, well, mishap. I don't pay too much attention to some things and then I forget what I was going to do.

Actually, I'd rate Emerald the first, MyNameIsKooky the second and You(TheThaumaturge, not MWM) third.

I put TheThaumaturge in front of MNIK, but that's partially because MNIK's levels are normally too hard for me and I like TheThaumaturge's story better.

Too hard? You're probably not trying hard enough. My puzzles are usually pretty easy once you figure them out (although I do throw in the occasional action bit).

I've never really focused much on story. I prefer randomness.

I spend about a week on each adventure before I beat it.

Yeah, most puzzles are easy once you figure them out. Figuring them out is the hard part. *shot*

Don't get me wrong, I love your adventures.

And Kooky and I are arguing about his adventures again. *shot*

Well, you could always ask for a hint.

Anyways, back on topic. I think I'm missing a leveltexture needed for this adventure...

TheThaumaturge · Post by **TheThaumaturge** » Wed Jun 01, 2011 11:29 pm

Oops! I didn't include the texture needed for the level! I'll upload it here.

@Emerald: Try hitting that FireFlower with shots from different FireFlowers. Keep trying!

I focus on puzzles too. Just look at Mr. Zurkon's Retarded Holiday?!

Have you fixed it? Because, if not, I can PM you a fixed version.

TheThaumaturge · Post by **TheThaumaturge** » Thu Jun 02, 2011 2:29 am

@MWM: Yeah, I replaced the old download with the fixed version. I thought I said I was gonna replace it. Oh well.

I don't think I focus on making like actually good puzzles. I just like to focus on the scenery and stuff. Somewhere along the line scenery interferes with puzzles, so maybe it ends up being a better puzzle somehow.

Kooky, believe me, you do focus on puzzles. Mr. Zurkon's Retarded Holiday was a truly evil level.

Master Wonder Mage · Post by **Master Wonder Mage** » Thu Jun 02, 2011 2:33 am

Okay. At least I don't have to worry about downloading and moving it again.

MyNameIsKooky · Post by **MyNameIsKooky** » Sat Jun 04, 2011 7:43 pm

With the custom texture, the level looks beautiful! The level was great, but that Scritter part was evil. But then again, all Scritter sections of levels are evil for me.

Also, at the end:

Master Wonder Mage · Post by **Master Wonder Mage** » Sat Jun 04, 2011 7:52 pm

No.

You must make a different choice in the dialog with the indigo thwart. If you do, a star will appear.

MyNameIsKooky · Post by **MyNameIsKooky** » Sat Jun 04, 2011 7:54 pm

I meant for the "bad" ending. I already found the real ending where he said

if you entered the teleporter, you would have gotten eaten by Chompers. What I said was that a Chomper entered the teleporter itself and ate me, which was why I mentioned it.

TheThaumaturge · Post by **TheThaumaturge** » Sat Jun 04, 2011 7:59 pm

No I didn't mean the chomper to come out of the teleporter. Oops! Anyways if you went in the teleporter you would have been eaten, so I guess it still fulfills the purpose.
