Eversion Custom Evil Level Speedrun Video

This is a year old, but it's an awesome tool-assisted speedrun of a single custom stage I made for Eversion.  The video was created and uploaded by Botzdotcom last year!  Thanks again, Botz!

September 28, 2016
Added an additional boss encounter in the Dark World. Added a Greater Healing Potion Shop in the Dark World. 2 Gold for 30 Potions. Moved a couple things around, and now I'm selling the game again at its original price, just like Dark Souls 2. In this case, the price is free. More knick-knacks and minor changes, too. I originally released this game over a year ago. Wow.
September 25, 2016
Added significantly more exploration in the Stratogarden. Added a mini Difficulty Block example near the start of the game. Added more vines near the forest floor, so you can try to catch one to save yourself from death. Added a new super-secret area. Many other minor things too.
September 24, 2016
New Skytree Floating Forest Space Jungle Stratogarden area added! Available to any difficulty! Even more aesthetication for maximum pleasjh!
August 4, 2016

More hidden stuff! Secret accessories!
May 30, 2016

May 29, 2016
  • EDIT: Reuploaded to fix the difficulty selection at the beginning!
Changed the Forest shortcut to explosives, to avoid confusion regarding the forest switches and also cuz explosions. Many Metal-Difficulty "post-game" tweaks for balance, including added shortcuts, extra sign hints, changed item availability, and less boring parts. Many "post-post-post-post-post-post-game" changes, including the "true ending," involving me showing up at your house with a platter of delicious homemade cookies and a coupon for a back massage from Yours Truly (unconfirmed). Many minor aesthetic improvements. But can something so subjective as aesthetics be truly "improved"..?
April 24, 2016
Improved aesthetics and made the Flask chest rebalanced and slightly more exciting.
April 23, 2016
Added the Merchant NPC to the game, so you finally have something to spend your money on! That something is namely potions and shurikens. Doubled the number of any potions found in barrels. Made King Red Hat's room inaccessible until later in the game. This way, it should prevent people from carelessly walking through it prematurely.
April 19, 2016
Added an out-of-bounds NPC condo. Now, if you die on an NPC-related boss, you won't have to move tables into Save Rooms to get the NPC back! Copper Shortswords placed in the intro chest on the cloud, just in case you immediately destroy yours. Various minor changes, including some aesthetics and smoothing out the Church's challenge.
March 27, 2016

Added many more hidden items, especially within the Metal Difficulty-only section.
January 26, 2016
Made the Giant Tree area signiiiiiificantly less annoying ugh gross Vine Hell
January 16, 2016

"Red Hat Castle" Terraria Adventure Map


So I've been spending most of my free time during these past few weeks working on a custom adventure map for Re-Logic's Terraria.  It is a "Metroidvania"-style map, where you openly explore and are limited only by your abilities, of which you find many along the way.  It is a large castle with themed sections, surrounded by outdoor and underground sections as well.  It features 3 difficulty settings, chosen by the player at the start of the map.  The difficulty affects both platforming and the availability of items. 

If you don't own it already, then you will need to purchase Terraria to play my map.  Then, you just need to download my single map file and place it into your Terraria\worlds folder.  Then, boot up your game like you normally would, make a fresh character, and my map should be there!


You can download my map here:   http://mods.curse.com/maps/terraria/red-hat-castle


You must make a new character, you must follow any directions on any signs, and it is recommended not to start on the hardest difficulty until you're familiar with the adventure!



If you have any questions, concerns, or recommendations, feel free to let me know!  Any feedback is greatly appreciated!  I will probably post pictures and/or a video playthrough soon.

Anyway, thanks again for checking out my work!
