Marble Blast: Gerson's Levels Compilation - RELEASED (Version 1.0.8)

The title is obvious, here some screenshot after first day of making. Oh and levels are from my custom levels, so it's not really a big mod project. Planned to have only 15 levels

And a gameplay video:



Note by Jeff:

I changed the title as the mod has been released. Original title: Marble Blast: Gerson's Levels Compilation (GLC)

Version 1.0.0 - Initial Release
Version 1.0.1 - Fixes freelook without having to hold the right mouse button
Version 1.0.5 - Updated pause screen, one new level and music, revised manual.

Bump because nobody cares :'( its so sad.
Here is another update for today:

I like the idea of a small 15-level one-person mod. Looks good so far, and nice job on the video too.

This is looking good so far! I'm excited for the release.

Day 2 Progress :





Because this mod has few levels only, this should be done really quick, and actually levels are halfway done.
I haven't set the release date yet, but it's coming very quick, let's hope I have a free time so I can continue this

Day 3 Progress :



Main levels are done, now going to do the rest of the game, like gui coding and graphics, coding, and making some skybox

Btw I have a coding question related to that screenshot. The counter of times completed is still broken and I dunno what to do. I tried but failed. I know this is not the right thread to ask, but it is just for getting attention for this mod, because nobody cares

I put this in function endGame on game.cs (marble/server/scripts/), and when I first play the game, the value is 0, after completing a particular level the value is always 2 (what I want is 1) and never can go up (which I want to go up). here what I did:

Thanks

Why does nobody cares? I care....
And MBE level selection.... really? How about a change? (Or your just to lazy to make another one)

Wow this looks cool, can't wait for the release!

Those are still placeholders, and I was a staff of MBElite before, so I can use it as long as it is not really be in the released version. Well I asked Mason if he could help me for gui. And actually GUI and extra levels are the remaining thing I need to do, testing too obviously.

For everyone. Just a spoiler of a screenshot that I've posted

You still are the king of skyboxes, for me.

Finally a trailer Well, this project is actually 75% complete, I can't really estimate the release that because they are still gui and some other things that I need to do.

Marble Blast GLC Extra Levels Preview



With this video, I'm going to tell you that this mod will be continued and worked very slowly, because school is too heavy and I'm having midterms. I have free time on saturdays only because of that. This mod isn't cancelled, but I need time to continue the mod, which I don't really have for next few months.

This video shows an extra level of Marble Blast GLC, and the game music too which I composed.

I've neglected to notice this until now, but from first looks the quality of the levels and GUI seem quite good. It has both a MBG and MBP feel, as well as a touch of something now and personal. I rather like that feel, for most mods have a more edgy and square feel, while this mini-mod/compilation has a more fluid and dynamic nature to it. While maybe not completely perfect with myself noting some smaller details, I do think you put quite a bit of effort into this, and will be impressed by the result. I'll make sure to watch the videos sometime.

Also, I'm impressed by the quality of the skyboxes. You made them all yourself?

Marble Blast GLC Lunatic Level Preview



Do you get the rainy feeling? Maybe this fits with MBPU rain effect as well, never tried but hope whirligig sees this.

You should be familiar with this level, but this case, it is in Lunatic.

To be honest I can't keep music that I made for this mod as a secret until this mod will be released, I wanted to let you hear and give me some comments about it.

I keep make posts about this mod because I'm really sad because this thread gets very few attentions and almost nobody cares. This is not MBAd, so I'm trying to learn from my lessons from MBAd, I will try my best to make this mod looking good and not noobish. Sorry to say because I almost cried because of that, and I am not that old and mature enough to stay strong within this condition. I hope somebody will care with me, even I've stated that I quit playing this game, but should it means that I can't make marble blast stuff or related thing anymore? I'm really sorry for posting this paragraph, and I hope you all understand with this. Thanks

Yes, I made those skyboxes long time ago, two of them formerly were MBAd skyboxes and the rest are some skyboxes that I don't really remember when and why I made them. (It's been a long time since I looked up for my skyboxes and terragen). And talking about quality, that's the terragen quality actually . Thanks anyway

Hey man!
I haven't paid attention to this topic (I knew of its existence from the start and wanted to follow it) because I was so darn busy myself. Now that I got a bit of time to check it out, you bet I did and man I love it. I like how you have 15 levels only which is great, the music fits in and the difficulty is there on the spot.

I thought you went with the idea of 15 levels but making 4 versions of each (easy/normal/hard/lunatic) where on easy most of the level is there, easy par etc, and then on normal the par might be harder, and in hard you got some platforms missing or different ways to get gems or the challenges are different, and in lunatic it's hard par time and ofc the hard level. If you did do exactly that - bless you! If not, no problem, but it's something that might be picked up by others.

Looking forwards to playing this on release once I will be less busy with life. You're on my watch list, mister.

The music sure will make me cry...

Marble Blast GLC Soundtrack: Hopeless Sorrow


How do you think about this? I think this is really bad.
This was done few hours ago actually, this was made by me.
Still need to transpose and fix some of the parts in this music.

Btw thanks matan and ralph for your care for this mod

Yeah, in short that's the main point and feature of this mod. What you said is almost correct. Lunatic won't have gold time because of its difficulty, the main challenge of it will be on beating each levels. It requires you to learn crazy and wr tricks like wall trick, etc. (no traplaunch fortunately)

Another Update



Finally another update, this level shown here might be familiar to someone who were close to me when first I joined MBElite. By the way, because I've composed the last music, now what I need is to rearrange some stuff, remaking some gui, and coding some stuff and maybe adding achievements and stats. It might took until next year to be honest for completing all of them. And if you wish to hear about the amount of level in total for the release, here is a spoiler:


~Gerson

Waow, this last update just looks awesome! Looking forward to the release of this mod

Marble Blast GLC Trailer #2



Finally the 2nd trailer.
In this video mostly shows about the new levels.

Watch the first trailer if you haven't :

Music :
Title: Bell of Avici ~ Infinite Nightmare
Artist : ZUN
Album : Touhou 12.5 - Double Spoiler GST

This mod keeps getting better everyday. Great job! I can't wait to play these levels in every difficulty.

Well, if you wonder how hard lunatic will be, here is what I just recently got in the last level of lunatic. To be honest this is the 2nd lunatic level that I've beaten without using LE.

So Wrath of Anubis essentially. Gotcha.

This stuff is gonna be jaw-breaking...

Holy wow a lot has happened since I was last here. This looks amazing!

This is it, finally I'm announcing the release date.
Saturday, November 15, 2014 at 12:00 PM GMT+7 (Bangkok, Hanoi, Jakarta)

What's remaining is just to fix few gui and testing the levels. Adding my best times for each levels to proof each levels are beatable
Stay tuned for it

Finally, it is able to make Marble Blast Touhou. Here is what I did with GLC and comparing with touhou 14.
Mason, finally I am able to make Marble Blast Touhou, you may call GLC with Marble Blast Touhou too (but no reimu)



Btw, for Jeff, Mason, and Higuy, do you guys allow me to use the code for crates for this compilation? Because two of the levels requires those (or if you don't allow me, I will put a non moveable crates). I will sure credit you all if you allow me to use that code. Thanks

Go ahead and use the crates, it is fine by me.

7 days to go for the release..
Are you ready for this?



Everything is really almost complete, init.cs checking and deleting .dso files and this game is ready

And Spoiler for Features:
