RE: The Labyrinth (Custom Story)

Well, beat it. It was good and immersing until the climbing part with in mind that you are in a labyrinth.

Climbing part was totally a design disaster. I've beaten every single Prince of Persia and alike games countless times, and none of them was this frustrating.
- Screen shakes too much.
- Guardian comes too fast.
- Paths you have to walk on are too narrow.
- Parts you have to jump from one to another is nearly impossible.

I tried that part like 30 times. If this were a commercial game, without climbing part I'd give a good point, but that climbing part would cost you 3 points down.

By the way, where the hell is that sticky-boy? I thought you were gonna include it :/

RE: The Labyrinth (Custom Story)

Nah I decided not to. xD

I had Russ test out the game up to before the climb part since it wasn't finished, and I sorta had it sitting there without any scripting since I started this. Oh well. D:

I suppose I'll add some quick invisible mass boxes along the wood to help and then update it. I want people to see the ending cutscene even if it is short and sorta cliched. xD


But you just thought it was a disaster because of the difficulty though?

Edit: Changed the climb part to make it easier.

Oh yes, otherwise I really like the climbing part. It was old-school and you sould've see the smile on my face when I come to that part. In first five try, I was still fine with it, but after sixth try every time seeing the same cutscene and dying over and over, well...

Ending was good, you used moveplayerforward function and created a good cutscene. Though it might be considered as cliché, I loved it.

Is this the final release or kind of like a demo? Because after making easier the climbing part, I'd recommend you to open a ModDB page.

Once you get the key head backwards to the start and take the other path.
