Advanced Challenge Acts 2.0 - Space Colony ARK Demo

By MatiosDX
 

Advanced Challenge Acts is a mod that aims to add brand new Challenge Acts that expand on certain Shadow Generations mechanic and use them in creative ways.

This is a demo for the currently in development 2.0 update for the mod, which is a massive overhaul for the mod, this demo includes all of the Space Colony ARK Challenge Acts including the new Expert Challenge Acts, there are also some extra challenges included, here is the list of the levels included in the demo:

Main Demo Content

  • Doom Blast Bullseye! - Replaces Space Colony ARK Act 1 Challenge 1
  • Vertical Rail Mastery - Replaces Space Colony ARK Act 1 Challenge 2
  • Doom Blast Bullseye! [EXPERT ] - Replaces Space Colony ARK Act 1 Challenge 1 Hard
  • Pillar Pull - Replaces Space Colony ARK Act 2 Challenge 1
  • Missile Freeze - Replaces Space Colony ARK Act 2 Challenge 2
  • Pillar Pull [EXPERT ] - Replaces Space Colony ARK Act 2 Challenge 1 Hard

Extra Demo Content

  • Hoop Jumper - Replaces Kingdom Valley Act 1 Challenge 1
  • Wind Float - Replaces Kingdom Valley Act 2 Challenge 1
  • Balloon Blitz - Replaces Chaos Island Act 1 Challenge 1
  • Rainbow Ring Challenge - Replaces Chaos Island Act 2 Challenge 2

I was planning on including Movie Challenge Acts as well, but, not everyone has the Movie DLC and the Movie Challenge Acts that I made aren't that great, so I decided to exclude it, also there was a route added last minute, into Vertical Rail Mastery that is inspired by SA2, there are 2, SA2 level design references in that Challenge Act, so be on the look out for that. The stages in this demo were made by me, however, going forward, some of the levels will be made by GhostlyThorns, a secondary level designer on the project.

Last thing I wanted to say is that, I still feel like I can do more with these Challenge Acts, but I think what is included is good enought for now, the level design is still subject to change, I hope you enjoy the mod, the demo, will be uploaded to Gamebanana, shortly after the Hacking Contest ends.

Small Issue Notice: Pillar Pull, Pillar Pull [EXPERT], Vertical Rail Mastery are not supose to have a level objective, so when you get to the goal ring, the mission will fail cause you can't achieve said objective, just keep that in mind when playing the mod
