The BGP Reader

In case you missed it last week, here is the First Look at the BGP reader;


BGP Reader - Mod DB
It's a program I'm writing especially for the tutorials, and you can read more about it here.

AltPath II Level Pack:

It appears that quite the milestone was overshadowed by the First Look at the BGP Reader last week. Due to the varying numbers of levels within the level packs I've made so far, I hadn't realized that I'd actually made 100 levels for Mars Lander already (that is, IF you count all 25 levels in the Ultra Pack)! Love it or hate it (or something in between), you've got to admit that something. And you know what? It's only the beginning! Mars Lander Builder is far from finished, I wouldn't even say the program I use to make the levels is complete at this point. It's taking back seat at the moment, but I can at least say that the changes currently in development are going to be worth the wait!
Stick with me, cool stuff is on the way!

The BGP Reader

This is a special program that I've been working on for a while now, and while it's not quite finished, I thought it was far-along enough to make this First Look. The program and all of its functions are explained in the following video:

Inertia II Level Pack:

These 5 levels are some of the most difficult, requiring lots of speed and precision to finish:

Funding tutorials:

As you may or may not know, BGP Tutorials are not officially endorsed by anyone. As a result, I don't make any money from creating tutorials, and since I'm not independently wealthy, that's a problem. I may have finally found a solution to that problem however; AdFly! On new posts, you'll see AdFly links appearing next to regular ones. I will ALWAYS provide direct links to content, although I would sincerely appreciate it if you use the AdFly links.

Asteroid Belt II Level Pack:

I tried something a bit different with this week's level pack. Rather than making 5 completely separate levels, I made 5 levels that look like they match up around the edges. Perhaps you won't notice this when you're actually playing, so I took the time to stitch this together:

This level pack inspired me to alter a few of the Photoshop assets I've been using, so even if the edges don't always align so nicely, expect to see more graphics like this for future level packs.

25 Levels: The "Ultra" Pack

This week I ended up making 25 levels. Halfway through making the second Crystal Collector Level Pack, as I was adjusting the difficulty of the third level, I realized how easy it was to modify the difficulty of a level with some well-placed Geysers or an asteroid. But since it felt cheap to release 5 nearly identical levels, I applied the treatment to five unique levels. The result is the "Ultra" Level Pack for this week.
