I will be extremely impressed if it can live up to a 3-year hype. isn't that pretty much the romhack equivalent of Duke Nukem?
Yum, Cinnamon!

I really enjoied this hack and I am glad raocow is LPing it. If he could make the whole thing save stateless, it would probably become my favourite LP ever. But the difficulty in some of the levels is just nuts. Most of the harder levels are just about learning what killed you there but there are some really unfair parts, that made me swear even with save states. But about 75-80% of the levels were fun and there were some parts where I really laughed about the craziness.

It is probably the hardest in the series and raocow: Whatever you do with this game, I hope you can enjoy it.
Gesundheit!

All I'm saying at this point is that I wouldn't mind if this is the last hack of the series.

Huh, did something happen to pukiwiki? I want to edit the OP's link to lead to the pukiwiki vip5 page instead, like they want people too, but it seems offline right now.

(edit: http://vip.rgr.jp/sm4wiki/?改造マリオの共同開発5) this is pretty much where you'd want to go, I reckon.

The last 5 series didn't really do it for me so I kinda stopped watching raocow's lp's admittedly, but now vip 5 is here. woop. time for raocow videos. clearly milk is perfect for school boys once more. the full moon revels in the endless sombre of the autumn nocturnal breeze of our soul.
you can't lead a mouse to water but you can make it drink. just give it some salty salty peanuts.

raocow still says things like that right?

VIP 5 already? I thought you were holding off for some patch revisions?

What does the reason say, exactly? Google translate makes it just say that basically 'there be an error but we don't know what'. Ah well.

Xirix - well, it's already version 0.3, so it's a few updates in, and I've heard enough reports of people ending the game without any bug-related problems, with seemingly everything working, that I'm confident enough to get it. Also the overworld is fancy enough that I very much doubt they'll do a complete overworld rejiggering like they did with vip 2.

It's something like they're continuing to update for the moment so the link is disabled.

(ie, if you want vip5 just now you need to get it through the uploader not the new wiki. shhhh)

Hmm.

When a new version comes out, if anyone can suss out what was changed, and if it changed anything in the levels I've already completed, I'd like to know so I can 'report' on the changes or whatnot if they are significant.

The VIP series is one of the most defining set of LPs for raocow's long time watchers, I think. A year ago, I really couldn't wait until VIP 5 was released.

The rest of the VIP series admittedly probably didn't age very well, but they still have their certain charm about them.

Ah this game...sweet. I've been waiting since VIP 4!

I liked the switch palace, but nothing else really stood out.

It's been so long, I'd forgotten raocow ever used savestates. I hope this hack doesn't force him to touch them.

Also; Nice haiku, raocow :)

That link to download the latest version of Mix5 isn't working. I clicked the link, hit "Ver1.03", and I get a "403 Error - Forbidden" page. Or maybe I'm just stupid, which is a very likely possibility.

Yeah because we all know that vanilla level design is SSSSOOOOOOOO 'crappy'. You've been spoiled by fancy ExGFX and consistency raocow!

Also Hype is stupid. Did people honestly expect Carol, ping, and the the ppp guy doing asm for every level and some guy with Nintendo quality level design doing the actual stages.....psh!

Looking forward to the rest of the LP though

I still think the very first stage is really 'eh', but by the end of the video I think you can hear that I've already pretty much turned.

This hack is still very "eh" up until about halfway through. Still though, it's nice to see it completed at last, I guess, and I'll be watching it through to the end I'm sure.

At least I was right. I'm just too stupid to spend the extra minute reading the next few posts after the first one. >_>

Then the level should've been passed onto someone else. If you're going to be dead weight, then you should be cut from the project.

^ Doesn't that technically imply that no other designer even came close to .. whoever this guy was? Surely someone (or a team of them) could have whipped up something that was around the same quality and not delayed the project by years, assuming this really was the case.

...then again, I'm sure their collaboration methods aren't really as perfect as they could be, so it's more of a shock to see that the thing actually got released in the end.

It looks like 1.04 may be changing the enemy names in the ending to the Japanese AA names and adding a small message on the final screen. If they do, I'll update the translation and let you know.

raocow, since you said "That's worrying!" instead of "Decisions, decisions!" (I changed it because I figured the latter sounded better), I think you might need to update your file, since a couple messages got switched around in 1.03. No levels, though.

Also, to Alex:
Not only do I not understand why you'd tell him directly instead of waiting for him to read it, they switched around the Nonsense! boxes so that the message box telling you about the ENDURANCE shortcut is in World 4 instead of World 2.

Have to say, VIP koopas are perhaps my favorite koopas.

Glad to see 'em again
