HALF 1 & 2 - Videos with all records out!

Post by Ramone »

The most exciting pack of the year!

http://elmaonline.net/statistics/levelpack/HALF1
http://elmaonline.net/statistics/levelpack/HALF2

Pack has been out since FEM and people has been playing like crazy!

So, there are two halfs to this pack. We play to a deadline Febuary 14, then we see who have best total times, separate for each half and also combined. Half is refering to the fact that pack has two halfs and that active playing time will be half a year. When the deadline is here we start making a video of all best times. So make sure you have many best times by then. The pack is of course also a Kopasite pack so if you want those points add times there. And ofc you can keep playing for Kopasite after deadline, maybe video will reveal some styles!

Thanks alot for all the positive feedback and all the time people spent playing these levels. You Rock!

Edit: Videos are out!

omg looks great!

Ramone & Zero: is the pack gonna be released at once, or maybe as a part of some contest in FEM? Like maybe could battle some of levels or something during FEM? just a thought...

Nothing decided. I think its probably a shame to battle packlevels cause some styles might be revealed right away taking away the fun of packplaying. For same reason release will probably be later in week to avoid too much public playing. But we are open to ideas.

If really really slow and no real contests could have 1 day best TT contest to first half or so. But then, no recs showed. Only best time wins, also not sure ppl would be into that, and probably will spread some styles. Again, if good ideas for release, just tell.

maybe something related to the fact that there are 2 halfs, TT for each half. But maybe that makes it look like 2 different level packs, feels like there should be some unifying factor on the idea. Just release the pack and i play it.

I have never been so impressed by a level pack! Amazing jobs, both with visual and driving style! I really hope kuskis will play teh shit out of this pack, because it´s certainly one of the greatest packs in elma history.

Im stunned by ramones and zeros level designing skills.

This is like elmas Ulysses by James Joyce.

I just say this: KUSKIS PLAY and take this game to another level!

PS. Zero for GAA designer!

WTF, this is the sickest shit i've ever seen in an elma level. GAA just for that picture. holy motherfucker.

EDIT: i thought umiz was exaggerating.
wow. just wow. i have no words for this. i didn't believe that it was possible to come up with so many fresh designing ideas after so many years of level designing in this game. i just skipped through the levels once, and this is amazing. this pack has everything. extremely old school designs like using pictures for masks and then these amazing "sculptures" that must have taken HOURS to create, which loook like levels from some imaginary elma 2.0. unbelievable, this takes level designing to a whole new level. just skip the designing GAAs, it doesn't get any better than this.

ppl, stoke the fuck up and hoyl this shit like hell for an amazing video in half a year.

You guys are freaking wizards. +1000 to Lukazz, it's amazing how much effort, creativity and variety is in these levels. When the video is out, I'll show it to map designers from other game communities like Doom, I think this pack is so inspiring that even they will appreciate it.

Thank you guys so much for proving that not everything has been done yet!

Thanks Ramone&Zero for this great pack, and thanks that I was invited to make a guest lev for the pack.
But I didn't know anything about this new image trick. It's amazing! My jaw dropped at FEM when I saw the images in the first lev (and other levels too). This is certainly the level pack of the year!

Woah, we are so speechless at all the positive feedback :O Huge thanks to everybody!

It was really fun to build this pack, we came up with the "HALF concept" quite late actually since before that we had been just designing levs together for the sake of levelmaking and experimenting in the editor. Some of the levels were originally made for all kinds of different occasions, World Battle Cup for instance, feels good to finally see them out there :) It has been wonderful to see so many people playing the levels and it truly feels like all the work was worth it. We are also positively surprised at all the decent times made by various people so far since the pack has only been out for 3 days! Keep on the good stuff ;) The video will be so epic!

Love, Zero and Ramone

Wow. Quite major drop in the total times of both packs. After the first day HALF1 WR TT was around 20mins and HALF2 21mins. Now both packs are sub 18!

WOW! For the first time ever HALF2 WR TT (17:06,38) is faster than HALF 1 (17:06,51)! We didn't intend the packs to be equally long, not at all. It has been awesome to look at people constantly improving their times in both of the packs. Under 17 might just be possible in both of the packs ;) Keep playing!
peace

Levels feel quite fresh now after 2-3 months break. I wish I'll find motivation to take some records back. I don't yet know what is the point of this competition and who wins after half year? Player with most records for the video? Does 2nd position in any level mean anything? Total time? Is this more like normal pack or OYLP pack? And there are actually 2 separate packs where to compete.

Anyway for me it might be enough just to enjoy the levels and try to get some records (+ decent total time).

The record table will still be there after 6 months. But, since pack hardly gets played after that we decided make video after 6 months with all current records. So to be in video need to have record by then. Those records may be remembered abit more I think. :D

There has been an awakening. Have you felt it?

The year 2015 is over but the competition in HALF packs is not!!

After FinMan got a total time of under 17 in HALF2 it has really quiet but lately adi, FinMan and Zweq have been getting new records and the HALF scene is getting really active again!
We will make a video of the world record runs in February 14th. Still over a month time to improve your total time and possibly even get rides for the epic video. IT IS NOT OVER YET! GO HOYL ;)

Also! We will give secret prizes for the best TT holders of each HALF! So, what are you waiting for? (For more motivation go watch the motivational speech by Shia LeBeouf)

One last week time to play..
It is amazing how many of you contributed by playing the HALF levels.
The receiving, the feedback and ultimately all the sick records you guys have been driving has made these packs something to remember for a long time :)
I personally can't wait to see the final video! Spoiler alert: There will be epic styles ;)

Awesome recs here! Makes me wish I had played more of the levs for real so I could truly apprecitate the epicness of them. Thanks for putting it together in a video!
Intersting to see that adi killed all the long levs.

tip: put links from outro in description aswell, so no need for mango copy paste.

Sick styles, mans! Especially 1B , 1C, 1E (Madness' styles so easy and simple), 1L, 1M, 1P, 1T, 1V, (1X, wtf are those styles xd)

HALF1T and 1V I had good rides myself, completely different routes, both way harder routes than what adi used.Too lazy/stupid/too little time used to find this stuff out and paying a high price I guess.

Amazing styles by Madik too, didn't think Madness' recs are so better-style-based, even though his rides of course were very nice too, which was expected. Also, nice move to try to get your improved 1E to the video after getting my rec. :beer:

Also, I suck at style finding. This was a great challenge for that reason, I found everything I used myself. :beer:

Really looking forward to that HALF2.
