The K3 Storm Peak Challenge
« on: April 29, 2015, 06:36:45 PM »
https://K3.fangam.es (again, special thanks to Klazen for his help with the website)

View in 1080p if you can




The K3 Storm Peak Challenge will be launched within the next two weeks. There's quite a few things I will be leaking day by day for 5 days until I release the official announcement, trailer, and website. Speaking of which, here's the first leak: a dedicated website for the challenge which a whole bunch of functionability and things to make the challenge kick even more ass.

Please hold off on asking questions about the challenge for now, I'm sure every one will be answered by the time this reveal train is done, don't wanna spoil anything beforehand. Also there is an FAQ on the site that will most like answer your question as well.

Day 1 reveal:

Here's the header to it. More to come tomorrow  :denProgress:



Day 2 reveal:

Your progress page where the next game in the challenge will appear and finished games will contain your info. Click an unlocked game to upload your win. As you can see in the picture in this example I'm up to playing conquer the blow II



Day 3 reveal:

The games list got an upgrade. As you can see below, the top part of the games list will show all of them, and you can click on the stage to go right to its games. Below that you can see the actual game list with every game's title card, the game number in the challenge, if it appeared in the K2 challenge (so you don't have to beat it again and can just upload your prior win picture), the game requirements, game link, and you can click on the title card and a dialogue will open with all other info about the game including game type, creators, rating and more. But what I'm really excited about is what you see on the right side:

keeping track of everyone's top times per game!

Whenever someone uploads their game and inputs their time, after it is verified it will be put into the database it will go right onto the list. All the times in the picture below are made up just so you guys can see what it will look like when it gets filled up.



Day 4 reveal:

Here's the big one, and what'll be giving everyone a big competitive kick in this challenge more than the game leaderboards above: in addition to game completions, those who get in the top three for each game will get speedrun points!

First place gets 3 points
Second place gets 2 points
Third place gets 1 point

Also to make sure those who beat more games than the others, if there's only two people who have beaten a game then top places will only get 2 and 1 points, and if there's only one person on the leaderboard then first place will get 1 point.




Day 5 reveal:

Trailer (see above)

Hmm not sure, try uploading it to the screenshot button again and see what it says. There were a few changes occurring on the site so something may have glitched when you tried to submit.

All they really do is unlock an extra clear screen and add an extra challenge.

Just posted this in the other thread:


Tempest:

Again as I've not played it this was a judgement call. I've put secrets required for this game even though all it unlocks is the ability to go back to the final screen, shoot the portals, and get to the Game Boys you've unlocked. As it is v0.9.9 I'm not sure what the creator's intention was for these, maybe they were supposed to unlock a final boss for v1.0.0 but didn't finish for this version. I'll ask around for this one but I think maybe I should clarify on the requirements to say "Secrets are required to beat this. In your win screen take a picture of you standing on top of the Game Boys you unlock on the portal screen."

Few things to mention

Just out of curiosity, why is Azure public, while Locus is private on the K2 site? Azure is the sequel to Locus, after all.


Should point out that Black was made private not too long ago.


Also, did you get permission to put the direct links to Possible, Piyopiyo trap, Prism, Silver Tower, Macaron, Needle Satan, Starter, uhuhu Spike 3, hope the end of, make it breaking out, and Emperor? I know a lot of makers in the eastern community are strict about having their games distributed like so (especially seeing how dagger made Scapegoat private due to it being directly linked for WFC).


If possible, I feel it would be better to link to the makers' Nico profiles where the games can be located, as, as far as I know, they don't mind this (and I remember seeing dagger say this as well: to not give other people the direct links for his games but to give them the link to his Nico). I can also find the makers' Nico communities if need be.


Sorry for being nit-picky about that but I'd rather see these games remain public as opposed to being made private due to secondary distribution like what I pointed out.

Some of the private tags on the K3 site for some reason aren't overriding the prior links on them for some reason, will be fixed for Black and Azure (Black was linked to the Delfruit page and Azure linked directly to his download (now a dead link), so they don't actually link to any download).

It's been over a year since I got the links to the other games, but all of them were found via either the Nico pages or by a Google search, I didn't rehost any of the ones listed as public.

If you have the links to their Nico pages with the links I'll gladly link to those instead, and the others I can apply private tags to. A quick google search shows quite a few of those download links on baidu.com rsdown.com kaihou.com etc.

For Macaron: https://sp.ch.nicovideo.jp/drp_rich/blomaga/ar203340

For Silver Tower: https://sp.ch.nicovideo.jp/surumeika/blomaga/ar602135

For Prism: https://sp.ch.nicovideo.jp/dagger0127/blomaga/ar373850

For uhuhu Spike3: https://sp.ch.nicovideo.jp/turu1127/blomaga/ar289666

For Emperor: https://com.nicovideo.jp/community/co1867747
-Can't remember atm if there was a link on the K3 page for Vanish Needles!, but Klein took the link to that off his Nico

For piyopiyo trap: https://sp.ch.nicovideo.jp/shiroihiyoko/blomaga/ar273059

はりまぉ looks to have taken Needle Satan off his Nico, so I honestly don't know what to do with that; carua doesn't seem to have a Nico (anymore, at least), so I'd remove the links to Starter and hope the end of; ささのけ hasn't had Possible on his Nico for some time; and as far as I know, 水無 has never put the link to breaking out on his Nico.

That should cover it.

Edit: should also do the same with the K2 challenge, since it looks as if every link is direct; I'll do the same in that thread.

Edit2: didn't even see that it was done for the Conquer the Blow Games, so the link for those is: https://com.nicovideo.jp/community/co1187146

Klazen has updated all the links to both the K2 and K3 challenges, should be all kosher now.
