Knytt Stories still makes me happy.

This is one of three screens I built today.

(Which brings the screencount total up to somewhere around 170.)

For jazzymegster...

and anyone else who may be interested in playing Knytt Stories or getting started editing Knytt Stories levels: collected useful information!

Where to get the KS software:

This includes the game software, a couple of levels, and the editor. All of which is entirely free, btw.

Where to get additional levels:

Official levels:
http://nifflas.ni2.se/index.php?main=02Knytt_Stories&sub=04Get_More_Levels
The current level release forum:
http://nifflas.ni2.se/forum/index.php?board=39.0
The old level release forum:
http://nifflas.ni2.se/forum2/index.php?board=48.0
The archive:
http://www.knyttlevels.com/

Suggested strategy for finding levels from the old forum (in case of broken links etc.), and identifying interesting stuff in the humungous and badly organised archive:

Check level recommendations lists and also images in level preview threads and feedback postings in level release threads in the old forum. Then go to the archive and do a search for the author and level there.

"Gee, that's a lot of levels. Where do I start? Can you recommend some?"

Sure:

I'll probably rec some more, later. Most of the levels I particularly love are environmentals, btw, so they're not usually very challenging. I play the occasional challenge level, too, though, and plan to rec a few.

If you want to start editing:

Unofficial editor handbook:

(Actually, the editor is so easy to use I just learned - nearly - everything entirely by trial and error. Never used the handbook.)

Tilesets:

Old forum: http://nifflas.ni2.se/forum2/index.php?board=58.0
Current 'Development Showcase' forum: http://nifflas.ni2.se/forum/index.php?board=26.0

Custom Objects:

Aaaaand... I think that's enough to get you started.
