Night Escape

[fickle shard]

Can you get out without being spotted?

[stark kiln]

Ago

[dreamy fossil]

little laggy

like 0.75 speed

[fickle shard]

wait really?

huh thats worrying, the level is just 41 kb

[dreamy fossil]

yea its probaly too laggy for the comunity showcase

[fickle shard]

dude theres no way

its like smaller than level fun lmao

still doesnt feel very finished but im submitting it

if its actually laggy then maybe its the bunch of inside out objects i put throughout the map

if its necessary i can make 1 big one under the level and have a chain of movement sequencers

[dreamy fossil]

mabey it is

as it is laggy

[woeful portal]

This is gang

Fnaf

[fickle shard]

oh damn it

i just took the last modified one from the folder

ok im not on my pc anymore but i sent a copy of the actual level to walaber so i took it from there

sigh i dont remember if this one has the few visual additions but its here

[nocturne viper]

david does just have a notoriously crappy computer 🤷‍♀️ but im also not a good test because my computer is way overkill for JCW

[fickle shard]

i woke up just in time to see you typing lmao

[fickle shard]

oh i forgot about that

[nocturne viper]

ill try it out but ill probably get perfect performance lol

[fickle shard]

eh if its laggy walaber will tell me about it

[nocturne viper]

only level thats been laggy on this computer has been candy castle but

that lags

on every machine

apart from apparently apple silicon?

[fickle shard]

lmao

to this day i cant get a playtest build installed in my mac

😔

but yea anyway its just 44 kb should work just fine 👍

ok this is the one

[nocturne viper]

i have absolutely no clue what to do lol

but performance in this first area has been completely fine locked at my monitors refresh rate of 165

[fickle shard]

just get down while hes not looking XD

[nocturne viper]

i did that 😭

and i still died

earlier

[fickle shard]

aw man

[nocturne viper]

wait

got it

[fickle shard]

this is what the object detector for bro looks like

i should extend it depending of which side hes going

[nocturne viper]

i jumped down at the first cell when he was turned away i thought it was just if he wasnt facing the car

[fickle shard]

oh if you drop too close he stills gets mad

yea not ideal either

ill unlazy and actually do the logic work

[nocturne viper]

feel like there should be an arrow telling you to climb the tree lol

[fickle shard]

hopefully the rest of the level works as intended

[fickle shard]

noteddd

[nocturne viper]

i just ran into that guard not knowing he was there because i didnt know i was supposed to go up the tree

so far though pretty cool

i like the concept

[fickle shard]

i was feeling like playing the escapists that day

[nocturne viper]

i think that was the second game i ever bought on steam

[nocturne viper]

ill pin the latest copy of the level in this channel

(i feel like i should do that for every level but theres too many at this point for me to go back and do it

[fickle shard]

thank you XD

[nocturne viper]

so

🤷‍♀️

lmk if u make an update and ill pin that new version

[fickle shard]

thank you XD x2

ill probably update it right now with that feedback

[nocturne viper]

another sticky powerup in the ||cave section just incase people have used all their sticky somehow||

[fickle shard]

yea i should just put it in the cave instead of the office

[nocturne viper]

yea but at the same time if you like dive down out of the office you might instantly land in the light which is why i stickied down incase there was danger down there

a warning or camera zoomout to show the light moving there would be nice

as for performance i had literally zero issues

[fickle shard]

hmmm alright :D

[nocturne viper]

locked 165 the entire time which is the max refresh rate for my monitor so it wont go higher

[fickle shard]

niceee

yea its a 44 kb level what could go wrong

[nocturne viper]

yeah i think davids computer is underpowered even for jcw 😅

but like

really enjoyed that level !!

[fickle shard]

aww thanks mate X)

ill update it :D

[nocturne viper]

ngl im not a fan of quite a lot of custom levels they either feel like they're just difficult to be difficult or way too long (cough cough buzzy your levels are beautifully crafted but they're way too long please i swear down)

this felt like something everyone can play instead of having to be good at the game which i like

[woeful portal]

I didn’t so anything I swear

[nocturne viper]

buzzy chill it on the runtimes of your levels i beg 😂

[nocturne viper]

like uh the system requirements for jcw are already pretty low but im pretty sure david doesnt have the recommended amount of ram for the game (i use recommended because i feel like its a better idea of what should actually be used to play the game well instead of the minimum which feel like it just passes as "runable")

[fickle shard]

ok so i found the solution to that first section, instead of having the detector follow the guard, ill just have it under the floor and move up for the entire time hes looking right

[nocturne viper]

yeah i think that works better

[nocturne viper]

but uh im certainly overkill for this game 😅

and its not like this an insane computer its pretty midrange in terms of gaming but like it is so far overkill for JCW so literally the only level that has ever lagged is candy castle

[fickle shard]

aight i put an arrow to guide you up the tree, made the sticky last 2 hours and put an invisible ice block outside the window to stop you from going too far while also seeing the whole section on the way down

here it issss

[woeful portal]

Idk what I have but candy castle doesn’t lag a bit for me

[nocturne viper]

you should check and also show performance in steam

steam has a built in fps counter

but its kinda crappy

but steam -> settings -> in game -> in game fps counter

[dreamy fossil]

yea same

[dreamy fossil]

i do. i have 8 gigs of ram

[fickle shard]

oh yea now it is

[fickle shard]

i updated it with all that feedback in that latest file

[fickle shard]

did you have other stuff running other than jellycar?

like perhaps 5 other games or smth?
