Make a Knytt Stories level in 2 hours! Alternatively, make something else in 2 hours. It's up to you, really.
(But Knytt Stories levels are profoundly awesomer than everything else in existence, so why not just make one :3)
Never used the Knytt Stories editor before? No problem! Download Knytt Stories here. (If you've never played it before, give the tutorial or bundled level a go to get a feel for how the game works.) The editor comes included, and a good way to learn to use it is by cracking open existing levels and poking at them to see how they work. This guide is also recommended reading.
Join us on IRC for camaraderie, support and merrymaking! Point your favourite IRC client to #glorioustrainwrecks on irc.freenode.net, or use our handy-dandy in-browser chat here.
(If, like me, you haven't used IRC before, just go to this site and type in #glorioustrainwrecks for the channel name, and you can use any nickname. I'm just saying this to minimze confusion )
Upload your level here when it's done.

I posted about this on Nifflas' Support Forum, which has become more active recently! I'm hoping this event really takes off.

My Entry
Here's a level called Mystery Island :)
I made it in 2hours 15 minutes. I just finished it.

Hey! I'm the author of the
Hey! I'm the author of the tileset you used for the majority of the level. I love seeing it get used, contributing art to Knytt Stories all those years ago is truly the gift that keeps on giving.
This is a really nice level and I'm impressed by how much you were able to achieve in the time limit, it's so much more than I can typically manage. It all feels really cohesive. I was floored by your innovative use of Tileset55 in the subterranean area, too. If you're willing to update the level (and I really hope you are) I have a lot of bugs to report and other tips, so brace yourself.
OK! That's all I have to say. I really hope you keep making levels!
About the hard spider dude near the beginning
you stand still until it comes close, then you hold run and jump
i think you press run a little sooner, but it's still bloody hard
i've done it 3 times D:
thanks a heap!
Love the feedback! i'll certainly use your list to update the level.
I have a couple of things i'd like to add too.
Hmm, I need to find a use
Hmm, I need to find a use for this Yoshi knytt skin I made back in like February. Guess I'll be using it in the level I make for this event!
Oh yeah, I can decompress
Oh yeah, I can decompress Knytt Stories levels but I can't compress them, so if someone could compress my level when I'm done with it that'd be great.
YES
YES
i mean yes to the yoshi
i mean yes to the yoshi skin, i'm not entirely sure how to compress it to bin if it's not working on your system
Here is the skin if anyone
Here is the skin if anyone wants to use it. I would appreciate credit.
Remember that player skins need Knytt Stories Plus for them to work.
Oh geez, I only just now
Oh geez, I only just now realized that thing to the left of Yoshi is meant to be a ceiling light. I always thought it was just some weird sculpture to put wherever.
It looks so ridiculous sitting on the floor
Edit: Maybe not?
yoshi
i'd apply yoshi to my level in the update process if it didn't require knytt stories plus :\
Custom sound woes
I'm having a hard time adding music to the Ambiance or the Music assets.
I made a .ogg file, named it Ambi255.ogg, placed it in KnyttStories/Worlds/My level name/Ambiance, and when I flip through AtmosA or AtmosB to 255, I get an error and here no sound.
edit: Nevermind, I got it working once I got the Knytt Stories Manager working and added it with the Custom Data Manager.
--------------------
Also the Knytt Stories Manager crashes on me. I can't open it at all.
edit: Never mind, I used the Windows compatibility-mode tool and it fixed it! I've never used that before, it's pretty cool.
fixed my entry
as i expected, fixing it took as long as making it hahaha
friendly creatures
Is there an easy way to determine whether or not a creature in a bank is friendly or death-touchy? Or do I just have to test a zoo and learn from trial and error?

also the irc address is:

Another visitor from the Nifflas forums here! I decided to give this a shot and made a tiny and incredibly dumb level just for the heck of it, in approximately two and a half hours.
As for the theme and inspiration... please don't ask :P
This might help

It's not complete, but it might save you some time. Also, all objects under the "Meanies" category are hostile, while all objects in the "Knytt & Fluff" bank should be harmless (as far as I remember).
yay
gonna do this even though i haven't used the knytt stories editor in like 6 years!!!
I didn't finish a game
I didn't finish a game today, but I just have to tell y'all: Knytt Stories is a really good engine for me right now and it's not because I like platformers. The included audio and visual palettes are a great way for me to quickly experiment with aesthetic techniques in games in general. The more time I spend with this engine, the more I can see how it will help my understanding of visual, auditory, and path design. Making a single screen that feels complete is a certain kind of satisfaction that I was craving in the exercise of game-making.
Hey, as it turns out, I can
Hey, as it turns out, I can compress levels after all! I guess something in Wine got fixed? Anyway I'm gonna upload my level now.
