Beta 2.1.15 Released

Just a small update this week.

Changes

  • Bugs fixed
    • The fix for copiers in the last update mistakenly applied to copiers in all old levels, not just new levels.
    • If you got the secret on level 41, the game wouldn't recognize it.
  • Minor changes to some levels

    @RGA
    i have still the problem with the visible mouse cursor at level mode,
    could you hide the cursor, if i press "Play" in the menu?
    this should clear this problem.

    i wanted to build my lvl "skill&logic" a little bit harder...
    one blue jet should survive, but the "yellow enemy counter" is no more in the editor.
    the secret sign in lvl 41 is shown, thanx rob for fast update.
    by the way, i need a hint for lvl i, please.

      How to avoid cognitive blind-spots: "Examine an object, not just by mentally applying your preconceived image of the object, but really look at it.".

      And I'm not talking about the one fan that doesn't move:-).

      If that doesn't help: there is a useful hint in the last blog post's comments!

      Ive decided to start removing hints that make things too easy — I’d like to keep this blog relatively spoiler-free.

      Of course, there’s no way I’m going to be totally consistent with this. I left HTFU’s hint in the other thread. But that was a nice obscure hint :)

      As a survivor of the original Blackshift (99 levels of it, anyway . . .), it's great to be working through the new improved version. You've done an amazing job. I'm not looking for spoilers, just basic reassurance. Are you certain nothing has gone awry in the changes to Level 41? I have no problem getting out of the first room, no problem getting the secret, but the middle room, the escape room, looks impossible to me . . .

    Hey my Blackshifty friends !!!

    i don't have a lot of time, but it's stronger than me : i've just published a new Level.

    At the beggining, i wanted to make a well balanced level, not too hard, not too easy... but that ,too, is stronger than me : i added some difficulties, and little by little, i think this level became hard !!!

    give me your opinion !

    good luck!

    sometimes you can push a stone over a black field,
    sometimes a stone falling down, and sometimes a stone stops in front of a black field.
    what will be the final behaviour for a black field?

      They should fall down; that's the new behaviour. As usual, old levels will keep the old behaviour.

    2. Mills20 August 2018 at 20:34

      There are two different black fields:

      1°: The "non field",or an erased field... which appears as black.
      2°: The black Tile

      Movable objects fall into the black tile, but it can not fall into a non-tile because it is not a tile !!!

      the black tile pit should have a differend design as the unset black field, perhaps a bright-black-transition
      so a confusion is excluded, burri

      Delete
    5. RGA25 October 2018 at 13:26

      The "unset" tile is only black is you don't surround your level with walls. Do that and it gets filled with the "terrain" graphic so it looks very different from a pit.

      Delete
    6. Mills26 October 2018 at 00:04

      yes but i wish i had a tile where the player can not go, but where a block does not fall down.
      2 different black tiles : a black tile as a hole, and a flat black tile...

      yes, you're right, that's exactly what i did when i needed it.
      But this approach requires a minimum of 3 tiles : 1 tile for the laser, one tile for the flat black tile, and one tile to stop the laser...

      it's not a big deal, and i can do with, i'm just saying it would even better with a simple flat black tile ! ;D

    10. Mills3 November 2018 at 21:20

      there are no rules...

      but i have never built on a paper!

      sometimes, i begin with an item i want to use... and then, i look for a second item which the first has an interesting connection with.

      Generally, i build a first puzzle. And a second one, etc,etc... and, if it's possible, i sort them to be played from the easier to the harder
      But i would like it, unfortunately i find it very hard to build several puzzle which make a biggest puzzle. most part of time , my levels are a series of independant puzzles.

      i build some things, and i play it, i try to find other ways, i try to find flaws, and sometimes i find new ideas ! so i add it to the level, or i save it for later.
      and most often i like to add some difficultites on difficulties, and others, and others, etc...
      most of time i think about burri to make a level which need not speed... but it's hard !

      I often try to build some hard levels because my favorite levels are the xtrem hard ones... i love when i can not succeed!!! and i love much over when i finally find the solution
      but, i know a good level is not too easy and not too hard, and the most important thing: the level must have a theme.

      i won't be able to say you how long does it take me to make an level (even an average one ... ;p ) because it's very variable !
      i use to build when the my children sleep... it can take several weeks, sometimes!!!


      sometimes i start from an idea, and i build around it. but , i think the best ideas come when i'm playing.

      there are some unfinished levels which are in my pit since last year!! and some of them will never be published!!!

      i often think about Obie... he said : "start to build, and let your imagination run wild !!!"

      Oh, i am going to publish a new level.
      because , sometimes, i just want to create a mechanism. You can not see it, but i'm sure a few part of you wonder "but how did he build it???"

      I couldn't help myself:-). But in that level the bottom right area had a different entrance - by design or an earlier edit?

  32. Mills4 December 2018 at 16:15

    both ! an earlier edit, that i changed by design !!! XD

    okay, i edit the duplicate, a tried to fix the hole (but maybe you will find others...) and i also add some few difficulties here and there.

    it's even harder, than ever!!! will you find the solution? ;P

    This new edit is called "Puzzle-Puzzle-Puzzle" !!!

    i've just published a new level, for begginers.

    It's like my "Chapter 1 - Lesson 1" : a level to learn the basics...

    I built it because i wanted to talk about blackshift on a french board: www.koreus.com.
    So i did it !!! i wrote a description, with screenshots , the link of the game page download, a video trailer (old...)

    i hope that will bring new players, and so, new builders !!!

    it's in french but here is the topic, if you want to see:

    but my score has not been recorded neither...

    So i start over to find the place where there is a problem... it's often with the random red cubes! so i think it's in the #7 !!! Try to find a way to kill these red cubes when the player has passed this zone, and i think the bug will disappear

    Yes, both you and Burri did it a little too fast for me. This is the kind of level I would "hate" if I didn't do it myself:-). I prefer the NSOB-style for sure.

    Your "Think before doing" is genius!!! a real NSOB!!! ;D

    i found a hole, but i had to win the level normally first, to understand and find this hole... So your level is really great.

    And then, i went into you pit to remember your older levels, but i found an unpublished level... So, i am sorry, i'm sure you would have prefered to win it first... but i couldnt help myself ! Sorry.

    Anyway, great levels ! Thank you very much !

    Hey guys,

    i back up my old "MISSION IMPOSSIBLE".

    it was too much difficult. I added some visual hints. I also deleted some useless traps.

    For example, at the beggining you had choice between a yellow block bomb and a Glassy block. I deleted the glassy block because it was just a trap : the yellow block bomb is necessary later.

    It is still very very hard, but i think it is a little bit more tractable now.

  53. Mills17 January 2019 at 17:08

    after a lot of tries, a lot of edits and reedits because of bugs, i think my "Requiem en Sous-Sol" is stable now.
    There was bugs on the laser/diamonds part. I think there were too much saving tiles. i deleted some of them, and i made this part less difficult.
    but you know me: it is still very hard, i guess!
    There are some pieces which are inspired by others levels...

    have fun !

  54. Mills23 January 2019 at 17:21

    My friends,

    i have a great hard challenge for you, greatest players ! and yet, i did not have built a new level.

    I miss Obie, so much ! but he is gone leaving us a wonderful gift.

    This gift is : "Don't Play - No end!"

    A few days ago, i was back in obie's pit. i played few levels. I tried this one ("Don't play - No end!) and i had a hunch that there might be a way to win. And i played it, again and again, more than 2000 plays!

    And it was making me crazy because there was always something missing to be able to win. it was always very close, but it was always impossible...

    But, there was this hunch in my head, which was telling me : IT IS POSSIBLE !

    so, i insisted. sometimes, i wondered if obie made this level deliberately to seem to be unwinnable, or if he really thought there was no end possible.

    I don't know, but i love the idea he left it as secret treasure !!!

    So , yes, "Don't play - no end!" is winnable and it is a particularly fascinating level ! Thank you Obie, RIP .
    I look forward to see who wil be able to win it, and how !! (it might be several possible ways...)

    PS: not for noobs, experts only ! ;D

      Your requiem still lacks a bullet in my opinion:-) I have gone past the diamonds part but I am stuck at the rolling barells. Is there possibly a bug there somewhere? The black blob stays in the same place even after i've taken the bullet, that's not really the expected behaviour?

    Good stuff Mills! Btw, @rob I think I've found a bug: if you watch burris attempt on the previous version of the level and then press "R" for replay while the video is playing, you get to play the level as it looked in that version...? Maybe Mills can confirm since you have a faster time and can watch his run?!

    My new level has just been published !

    I modestly called it "Mills." ;)
    ... puzzles, traps, conundrum: this level looks like me !


    One more time, sorry for the begginers, i think this level is pretty hard !

    Burri, i thought a lot about you when i built it. it's almost a NSOB. There are few speed moves, but these moves are very short and not too difficult!

    I hope this level will burn your brain !

    and, as Wunk says, i hope nobody will "break my toy" !!! ;p

    Have an exciting time
