Vel'Cheran of Persia [work in progress]

[VelCheran]

Hi everyone,

A few time ago, I started the creation of a mod of my own. I'm not done yet but I wanted to share the first seven levels with you. It's available there.

The main idea of the mod is to provide at least to ways in each level: a glitchless one and another one which requires a glitch to go through. The glitch way is intended to be the fastest one (otherwise it would be useless ). Sometimes they diverge during the whole level, sometimes only for a very small part of the level.

Don't hesitate to test it and tell me if it's fun or not. I included a SDLPoP exe to make it easier to discover, of course when you know it I guess it's funnier to play it without quicksaves

Hey there Vel'Cheran!

Nice levels. Though I couldn't finish level 1 yet

Here are levels 2 and 3:

Nicely done!
Glad to see I am not the only one using Quicksave and Quickload

I think it's still acceptable to use it since they are not cheats, and main purpose of custom levels are to "test" whether a player is able to pass it or not.. and not to check whether the player is capable of avoiding silly mistakes

P.S. I actually started using quicksave and quickload after I saw couple of your videos

I included SDLPoP so that players could discover my mod using quicksave/quickload.
When you know the mod enough, it's more interesting in my opinion to run it with DOSBox from start to finish, but everybody plays as he prefers

Very interesting. Was it your first playthrough of it?
A few thoughts:

• you were not supposed to avoid drinking that green potion at the beginning of level 2, but I'm not sure if I want to correct this because that was clever.
• I didn't think about this glitch at 2:37, well done!
• Very cool fight against the last purple guard on level 2

All in all, you didn't always take the quickest paths so that leaves you something to discover, but well played. I have to say I'm happy you died in some of my traps

Thanks for your video. I guess level 1 is a bit too hard for a first level, but once you understand how to get out of the initial maze it gets easier to beat.

Really? Ok, then let me try

Thanks man!

Level 4 and 5:



I also found a faster way to solve level 5:

Level 4:

I think we both used a shortcut and a longcut
If we combine our shortcuts together I think we can pass this level under 2 minutes

Voh! Great job!

Level 6 and 7:

Thanks a lot for your feedbacks!
I corrected level 5 right away when I saw Akruzen's video I also fixed level 4 so that you can't climb through the mirror anymore. About the other glitches that I didn't foresee, that was well played. I'm a bit disappointed you broke my final puzzle on level 7 but that's life I guess

Just a suggestion for you VelCheran,
I think you can make next levels more visually appealing like levels 1 to 5. Like, it feels like prince is in the castle. But in level 6 and 7, though the level design is good, it feels like some tiles are placed in a void rather than a castle or dungeon. Just a suggestion, it's up to you
