Hi !  :)

Here is a first version of my first level (after a test), named "The Other Side of the Dispenser". Made with WoG Editor, and not finished yet. ;D



This is a pre-version (0.1) ! There is still a lot of things to do : :P
- Prevent the creation of Goo strands between walls.
- Indicate how to begin to play (put the fuse Goo in the fire), with text or sign.
- Draw branches to bring balloons.
- Continue to draw the decor.
- Improve actual graphics.
- Add animated graphic elements, to make something more dynamic.
- Add traps (maybe gears) at the top and the left.
- Test the level with several screen resolutions.
- Maybe add sound background.
- Add particles effects.
- Check all objects' positions, especially deadly zones.
- Verify the feasibility of the goals (normal & OCD).
- And more ...

If you want to test it, two solutions :
- Download in GooMod (advised). Installable with GooTool.
- Download in Zip.

Update: A new version (0.1.1) is available !

I'm waiting for suggestions, ;)

Hi Nicosmos,

non-XML files go in override not merge :) here's a replacement: http://goofans.com/sites/default/files/dl/OtherSideDispenser-0.1.goomod

I was fiddling about putting a rectangle down the whole centre support of the level with various tags but I couldn't seem to get it to break strands. "tag=deadly" seems to kill balls, and kill old strands that touch it, but doesn't seem to kill new strands. Weird!

Nice concept, I particularly like how the goo balls are dispensed properly :). I found it pretty confusing to know how to begin the level though (particularly if I hadn't seen the level editor screenshot first); perhaps some better graphical indication of the fact that the the dispenser is flammable.

When the dispenser burns the goo balls get flung pretty far. I'm not sure how to solve but you can see from this screenshot that I've got 2 balls trapped in a corner:

Argh. I tried the level, but once again, I got a crash. I think the demo version's behind this. Too bad I can't get the full version without pirating (which I will restrain from doing). :(

EDIT: Looks good, though. :)

Thanks.
Here is an updated version (0.1.1) with a valid goomod file, and camera movements for widescreens (I've forgotten them in 0.1) : :)

Hi,
great level. Played it with fun.
But you can build through the walls.
If you play it the way its meant to be, its really cool.
Thanks  ;D

What about making the walls thicker?

Yes, it's the only thing to fix this bug ATM.

My 1st completion (w/o building through the walls) I gathered 16 goos so perhaps raise the ocd a bit?

:P

I think I might have an idea on how to make the goos not go through solids: set strandgeom to true. It worked for my level.

Anyhow, I got it to work, and it's pretty cool! Too bad it was harder to do the actual solution than to just put the goos through the wall. Also, I fail to see the point of the fire in that level...

Very nice catch GooGun, turns out that's what's used on ImpaleSticky after all.

Thanks for the solution ! :D
I've a bit renounced to continue the level, but I think I will finish it soon. :)
