I need to pose a question to the headmasters. I've already stated I'm not exactly a beginner but I'm not a pro either. Because of different reasons I usually play a level in this fashion;
I look around the level and observe, then try different things, then once I get the idea I ‘keep trying’. But if it’s a level which involves a long pathway of challenges and I die over twenty times, I’ll “create” my own checkpoints. I edit chip’s position, the chips left, time etc and go from there. For me, it’s all about the experience and the fun and mystery of exploring a level and the technique too. I once and while try to optimize or just find different routes. But spend an hour doing the same thing over and over again because I pressed up instead of down two spaces from the exit I shalt not, all the fun disappears for me when that happens. I’m not one of those ‘I’m determined to get this done’ type. So I may find a level good, that without the editor I would not find good…
So basically; is it okay that I test these levels in this fashion? I probably just won’t do it otherwise.
Obviously I don’t think all levels are long enough to do this and I’ve already played some very decent levels of both kind. IT seems there are plenty of excellent levels to choose from.
This whole thing also helped inspire me on my own projects so thanks.
