New Game: Knytt Stories
News posted 28th August, 2007 by Flava
After the fairly popular game Knytt, Nifflas has just released the next installment called Knytt Stories. This game is actually quite different - mainly in that you play levels that others have created. You can create your own level with your own story, or download other stories that others have created. It's a great idea and it's really easy to create and share your own levels - so give it a try. There is a tutorial level and a level called "The machine" included, and you can download an expansion pack for more levels. Comments from the author: Knytt Stories doesn't have a specific plot. Instead, each level is its own little adventure. A level called 'The Machine' is included with the game, where you have to stop a machine that draws the life out of the planet. An official expansion pack is also featured at the website with four original levels. *Click here to visit Nifflas' website and download Knytt Stories* *Click here to download this game and read it's reviews* Tweet

Hmm, I thought Nifflas was going to wait until August 30 to release this! Oh well, it's great (I was/am a beta-tester)!

Why doesn't he submit this here?

Because last time it was up here the usuals appeared and Nifflas took it down.

Yeah... a mixture of people slating it and Nifflas getting upset etc.

Just beat the first story on easy mode. Wow, the trip back home after you'd switched off the machine... Simply mesmerizing. And the ghost area!

This game is going to keep me occupied for a while.

Same as axel I'm just amazed !
Probably the best 2D game I ever played.

28th August, 2007

Yeah! Don't forget about the extra levels that are downloadable from Nifflas' website! I made the easy one called Blockland.

Daaaaamn. This game ROCKS, and its extendability is a GREAT thing.

Hey, I wonder what I can do with this red key hidden in the "you won" screen in the original level... I didn't see a red keyhole anywhere!

DaVince: STOP POSTING OBVIOUS SPOILERS IN THE COMMENTS!!! Anyway.. It was absolutely fantastic! The only drawback is that you finnish the first level in an hour, but that will be compensated by all the third party levels that soon will be all over us!

But it's not a spoiler, just a secret!

Yes he is!

Expansion pack #1 has an awesome level called Chamber of Trials. It's one of my favorites so far.

It's a bad sign, this could have helped TDC in a lot of ways..

Posted by TheoX

29th August, 2007

What do you mean?

Posted by X_Sheep

29th August, 2007

The fact that people at TDC are too much of asshats for Nifflas to submit this here?

Posted by Johnny Look

29th August, 2007

actually it's kinda childish not to submit a download just cuz of a few assholes.

Posted by DaVince

29th August, 2007

I don't get why anyone would dislike the game if the things you fixed and changed are exactly what those people nagged about.

So put it on TDC. Like, now.

DavidN helped me retrieve my password, so I could submit the game to TDC.

>actually it's kinda childish not to submit a download just cuz of a few assholes.

I dunno, it's just that on no other site than TDC, people actually said stuff equivalent of "fuck you" to me in the actual reviews. But yeah, I did overreact a bit and I suppose I have to put out with those.

>I don't get why anyone would dislike the game if the things you fixed and changed are exactly what those people nagged about.

The thing is, I don't really care that much about whenever people like my games at TDC or not. I didn't "fix" anything in Knytt Stories, because Knytt was and is still exactly what I wanted it to be. It's a solid fact that I will sooner or later release another pure ambient game without challenge - because I simply like that a lot. When I do that, I know that that people will be disappointed and a lot of people won't like it (which I fully respect), but that time I want to be treated with respect (I expect everyone who submit games to not be called an idiot, because this is not American Idol).

Oh, and I will submit the game, probably tomorrow

I beat the first game today.

The whole "story" aspect is fantastic. I don't think the atmosphere in The Machine is as good as Knytt 1. It's definitely more traditional so I can imagine a lot more people enjoying it.

29th August, 2007

Well, Nifflas, at least it's good to see you don't hold a grudge against the sane part of the community.

Okay, so I found the red keyhole. Turns out I need THREE more keys. Where the hell would those be, though? I know there's a secret area near the fall-between-the-spikes in the snow part, but it seems impossible to reach.

just tell them to stfu then

Curse you DaVince! I have found all keys, but not the key holes!

I can help you with yours if you help me find the key holes...
DC mail me if you want...

Thanks Nicklas, I saw it before, makes me wonder why I forgot

DaVince: If you still haven't found the yellow key yet you're in the right place, but you're looking the wrong way.
