I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Don't worry about the videos. I will actually be adding g a full walkthrough video in a few days.

I have now finished The Knight's trial! It is one of the best, most enjoyable (that is important!) workshop creations.
@v0rtex2002: I can delete video links I posted that may disclose stuff, let me know if you think so.

I tried the move you showed many many times, it did not work. Then I decided to go to the initial (much better) approach, going on the crenels: https://youtu.be/R4-ydjbM0_s

@grasugrasu, there's a video attached to my response to @whotrader39. Yep it's a slightly tricky sprint-jump.
v0rtex2002  [author] 29 Jul @ 1:33pm 
Thanks, @whotrader39! I'm glad you liked it. If you follow the tower fans to the star above the main entrance, you can go across the wall to the round tower and jump onto the roof of that building to get that last purple sigil[. https://youtu.be/FW3A-XiBKRI /spoiler]

I tried to jump a million times. Is that all I have to do?

Awesome map -spent several days finally getting all sigils and stars, but couldn't get that last purple sigil by the tower star. I appreciate all of the hard work you put into this - it was a blast
v0rtex2002  [author] 28 Jul @ 8:42pm 
The main purpose of the fan with the switch is to create the 'glitch' that traps the mine in the plasma door. But it can then also be used to help manipulate the door buttons. And while you got there in the end, the point of the fixed fan was get the cube out so you could use it the way you did (elevating one of the two connectors).

As for the purple sigil, it can only be accessed after reaching the 'tower star' - the one over the main entrance.

At this point I got all stars. I have one more purple sigil, located on a roof, near a taller round tower. I can get close to the top of that tower, but not ON it . Hint?

Here is how I solved Diamond Mine: https://youtu.be/aCd_Fc7ufpc . I don't think this is exactly the intended solution. I can see the role of the non-removable fan, but I couldn't think of a reason why you have the inside fan with a switch .

Thanks, @grasugrasu! I'm glad you enjoyed it. :steamhappy:

I just finished Dreamwork and the star, very nice!

Put an easter egg on the mountain and make the glitch a feature.
v0rtex2002  [author] 26 Jul @ 6:08pm 
@grasugrasu, now I must thank YOU for the video. That helps a lot. I will experiment with making the plasma door a tad higher and see if that fixes the glitch without ruining the mechanics of the puzzle.
grasugrasu 26 Jul @ 2:29pm 
I accidentally created the glitch by getting stuck between a cube and the horizontal plasma door:

And you had to push pressure plates that are above your head, and your other self too ...
I think that kind of a convoluted puzzle shows an exaggerated dedication of the creator. It is not enjoyable when it's really hard to solve using a walkthrough.
ineluctable_assasin 26 Jul @ 1:42pm 
@grasu, yes that one. So many ways to f*** up that recording. And then hope the cubes/fans didn't glitch out. Gave me PTSD and a nervous twitch.
grasugrasu 26 Jul @ 1:31pm 
@v0rtex2002
Yes, thanks for that video. Helped a lot with the star in Window pains.

@ineluctable_assasin
Was it the one in which you had to fly on a cube to activate the recorder and then grab a jammer in flight? This was the most annoying part for me, trying to get that jammer.

Thanks, @ineluctable_assasin! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

Window pains star was a right pane (!) - needed the hint cause I was trying to use the connector up high for about an hour.
Anyway, finished! Best one I've played in ages, thank you.
There was a puzzle in the original game workshop - one of the "Only Puzzles" ones (which on the whole I like) that took me 4 evenings - USING A WALKTHROUGH. One of the steps was recording a 4 minute sequence - drove me round the bend, but you couldn't progress without doing it. I think that's when I lost patience with the more convoluted stuff and found the cheats console.
v0rtex2002  [author] 22 Jul @ 9:50am 
Wondering if I should limit it to two cubes. The original solution required that 3rd cube to get up to the platforms for hitting the receiver, but I changed it and just left the extra cube in there. Hmmm...
ineluctable_assasin 22 Jul @ 8:44am 
Damn it! I had got that far (1.40 in your video), but didn't round the corner to reconnect!
I glitched out because I decided I decided I needed the connector on top of three cubes and was doing the trick where you perch things on the edge (instead of using the barrier). I picked up one cube then tried to pick up the other 2 with connector on top from underneath. Apparently that doesn't work.

I must confess, on seeing cat's cradle I thought "no thanks, next there's going to be a philosophical joke in hexadecimal and a series of painful softlocks"


Nah - I'll never create those kind of puzzles, as I personally hate them. While the solutions for some of my puzzles might be a bit obscure, I will always try to create fair, solvable solutions. :steamhappy:
v0rtex2002  [author] 21 Jul @ 4:33pm 
Yes - you're wasting your time there - I don't think that star is gettable from up there (though I confess I've not tried). The star solution depends on the puzzle solution.

How did you manage to get shot out of the puzzle like that? Collision with the horizontal plasma door?

The hint I would give is: stack the tools on top of the plasma door with the platform on the button.

I you're still stuck after that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1RcSbKX4k0

Still working on "A Tall order" " (might have name wrong)- I was trying something to solve it and glitched out the map and ended up here: Might need a bigger hint.

I do like your hints - should be compulsory.
I must confess, on seeing cat's cradle I thought "no thanks, next there's going to be a philosophical joke in hexadecimal and a series of painful softlocks", it didn't help that I hadn't noticed one fence was low enough to jump over.
There's a star on a tall order, I;ve tried jumping to it from the tower fan about 20 times, am I wasting my time?

Hey, thanks @shlam! I appreciate the testing you did to help me create a polished experience! :steamhappy:

We chatted in Discord of course, but just wanted to congratulate you again on the fun campaign. Super well made and a nice level of difficulty.
