Glyph - A Mod for Celeste

Maddie goes on a journey through the mind & memories of one that are not her own.

Hi thanks for playing this map! this was created by marshall h (marshall#9752 on discord)

I do this for fun and personal development, but I aspire to do game development / music for a living someday, and I'd definitely appreciate support. You can purchase the soundtrack for this Mod on Bandcamp. If you'd like to listen to it for free though, find it on Soundcloud.

The featured artwork was made by the amazing Fuwamo, go support them and their work!

MAIN MAP INFO
---------
Maddie goes on a journey through the mind & memories of one that are not her own.  An impressionistic map that should be suitably challenging for advanced players of Celeste.

Over 100 rooms & over 30 berries
Lots of ~~secrets~~
45+ minute OST & custom SFX

Difficulty: Around or perhaps slightly more difficult than Farewell. Some berries are more difficult than Farewell. If you can beat the C-Sides and Farewell you probably will be able to get through this. I would recommend being comfortable / practiced with wallbounces and wavedashes before playing this map, as you'll likely find it less frustrating.

Tech required: Wallbounces, wavedashing, hypers, etc. Nothing that you haven't had to do in Farewell or the C-sides. Neutrals are disabled. No advanced tech beyond that of the C-Side & Farewell is required for full completion

SEASONSIDES
------------
Aka Glyph B-sides, but four of them. Added as individual chapters following the main map.
~95 rooms across the new chapters
No berries, no secrets in these, just level.
Difficulty: around same difficulty or slightly harder than  the main experience. I didn't really intend to make harder maps, just wanted to explore some of the concepts of the main chapter further here.
Tech required: Same as main map. Neutrals are still disabled. 

VOID-SIDE (ALL SEASONS MIX)
-----------
The void-side now has a cassette at the conclusion of the chapter which unlocks a new level. It's just more void, if you wanted more of that style gameplay you might enjoy these rooms.
~30 rooms
No berries, though a golden berry challenge does exist.
Difficulty: Around the same as the other void rooms. Hope you enjoy!
Tech required: Same as main map. Neutrals are still disabled. 

DEPENDENCIES
-----------
Frost Helper (https://gamebanana.com/gamefiles/9201)
Extended Variants Mode (https://gamebanana.com/gamefiles/9486)
Glyph Audio (https://gamebanana.com/gamefiles/11936

DISCLAIMERS
------------
- Neutrals are force disabled via extended variants. I did this because I think this map in particular plays better without them. I recognize that this Is controversial, especially for very experienced players. But all I can ask is that you approach the map with an open mind!
- Debug mode will probably break things, use at your own peril
- Photosensitive mode enabled might make the transitions between rooms a little funky looking but that's okay. I recommend keeping photosensitivity mode disabled if you do not require the feature and it is safe for you to do so.
- Yes, if it isn't obvious already, I love Fez and Hyper Light Drifter, and I draw a lot of inspiration from those games and music.

    Outstanding map. I felt like this is THE map to play if you have beaten everything in the vanilla game.

    Played this well over a year ago, but I didn't have an account at the time so I'm commenting now. Gameplay is great, visually this map is great, the concept for the seasons is great, music is amazing, there's plenty of attention to detail. I could go on for hours about how much I love this mod. My second favourite mod to this day, second only to Into the Jungle which is a big collab so... Amazing job!

    What's to say that hasn't already been said? This map is incredible front to back, from its polished and creative gameplay to its mindblowingly beautiful deco, still truly one of the best mods out there, go play it!

  • I just dusted of my profile after 3 years of not being on here, to say that this mod is one of the greatest I've seen yet. 

    Great music, level design, challenge, atmosphere. 

    It's the kinda mod which the developer will come back in 3-6 years time with an original game with real positive reviews on it. 

    (if so remember me)
