ColourWise [OSOM LEVELPACK by Pittiz]

[SSH]

The example I give changes one line per increment (like the colours change gradually and of course like every gray code) and also has the property that it is "inverted" for the opposites. There is also a neat symmetry in that the colours one could change to from a position are often rotated versions of the same symbol.

ColourWise for colourblinds

a colour-melting extravaganza (with symbols)

Colourwise tries to be a clever puzzle game about colours, but some of us have difficulties to discern between them. So, we decided to make a special version of ColourWise for colourblind people.

To know more head here.

Can colourblind people distinguish the "seasons" inside the colour wheel?

[bicilotti]

Can colourblind people distinguish the "seasons" inside the colour wheel?

In the game is not important to distinguish the warmness or hotness of a single colour, but the "frontier" which divides the two kinds.
So the answer is "no" but it shouldn't be a problem for gameplay. Feedback is much appreciated!

Ghost has made a nice little level pack, callded "Retro Romp". To quote the author:

Retro Romp- ten levels of computer-game related, mostly medium sized mazes. They start off simple indeed and mostly require simple colour mixing, with little bonus tile puzzles.

Download it here, and visit the CW fora to submit your own level pack!

i'm up to level 43, and really enjoying this game. You guys did a great job. great cutscenes + artwork, and congrats on the prize as well. i'm also looking forward to scarab, which looks like fun.
thanks.

[radiowaves]

Wohoho. I am glad to see this

[bicilotti]

@Mordy: thanks for the kind words, for CW and Scarab. Encouraging words are always welcomed, expecially if they come from the creator of "Chronicles of the red knight"! (btw, still in production?)

@radio: Thanks! As a fellow chess player I'm sure you won't find difficulties finishing the main quest in less than one week! And don't think I forgot about our projects, I'm just a bit... err... on hiatus

For everyody else: the Main Quest of ColourWise has 73 leves in it. The last 15 of them contain a surprise / gameplay mechanics shift! So come one, beat level after level folks!

[LUniqueDan]

Wooooooooo!
Downloading at once.

Hey Bic! I just leaved for 4 weeks and you release it without warning! Congrat' Pal
Now you deserve that chess game. 

[Buckethead]

yikkes! 73? I think Colourwise will keep me busy for atleast a year lol

[arjanpelle]

Ahhhh.... finally I'm going to test it, what a cool surprise after returning my three weeks holiday. I read the review, great to find out that my music put them off enough to rate the game two places lower then it should've been. Well blah, let's test the game. I hope some of you did enjoy the music since it was all composed in about two weeks time. My congratulations to Francesco and all the other team members, the game already looks great judging the screenshots.

Ps. is there a next chapter to follow in the life of Colourwise (a website or a forum?)

[bicilotti]

Finally! We have managed to "delurk" Arjan!

Let me introduce you to the big AGS community: after losing a musician, Arjan replaced him and managed to pull off his hat 6 quality tunes in two weeks.
I found the compositions charming and his attitude very professional, and I strongly advise anyone to hire him for an adventure project, since he is quite good in translating "words into music".

As for you, yes, there is a ColourWise site (link here): here you'll find a forum where to search for/post new levels, a version of CW for colourblinds and a few reviews CW got (in which you will find many words of praise for your contribution!).

I read the review, great to find out that my music put them off enough to rate the game two places lower then it should've been.

Christmas is more early or it's my idea?

[ThreeOhFour]

Hah! The new levels are really good - a great way for people getting into ColourWise to learn the mechanics and for those of us who aren't new - well, more levels is always good, right?

Also, WOOOOOO bonus material once you finish!!

Master Dereth

a journey of wisdom by Ben304

To my great joy, Ben304 pulled off his hat a marvellous lavelpack, with a story behind it. You heard right, solve the puzzles, enjoy the tale, but most importantly say: "Thank you Ben!"

GO TO THE FORUM PAGE TO DOWNLOAD!

or visit the level page for other packs

As usual copy/paste the .cwp in your "ColourWise - the Game" folder, watch the intro, and have fun playing it / seeing the end!

Again, thank you Mr. Chandler!

[Ghost]

I feel dwarfed. This is teh good stuff.

*bows, Wayne's World style: I AM UNWORTHY!
(but play the pack nevertheless )

[Dualnames]

Definetely a boost...way to go Ben..

[Shane 'ProgZmax' Stevens]

I finally got around to playing Ben's level pack and I found it quite fun.  I wonder if you couldn't implement something into the level editor to allow a person to enter a RunAGSGame title for intro and end cutscene purposes?  The executables would need some kind of variable to check whether they've been launched from inside colourwise so they can't be run outside of it, probably.

I wonder if you couldn't implement something into the level editor to allow a person to enter a RunAGSGame title for intro and end cutscene purposes? 

When I was scripting ColourWise I had this idea to allow the level designer to put some simple cutscenes in their packs. I thought of using DynamicSprite.CreateFromFile
to import backgrounds / sprites from external files.
I even wrote down a bit of it, but the dreaded deadline was approaching and the whole thing got dumped.

Now that Ben made this wonderful little levelpack I see using a different AGS executable is way more simple for me to script (and for 3rd party designer to use/tweak as he/she likes).

The executables would need some kind of variable to check whether they've been launched from inside colourwise so they can't be run outside of it, probably.

True and probably simple to implement.

I'm working on a shabby MAGS project, but once I've finished it I'll see what I can do: maybe the time has come for ColourWise v1.5!
