Re: CLDC 2020 - It's been a while
I left a comment on the video itself, but basically I hadn't made a level in over three years when I decided to enter. I was playing Animal Crossing New Horizons at like 3am and doing some fishing when the level's name just kind of entered my head. I couldn't get it out of my head by the next day an...

Re: CLDC 2020 - It's been a while
As someone who's helped put more than a few contests together, the main reason we've banned secret exits from some VLDCs is because more often than not they're a pitfall for 90% of authors that will decrease your score. Yeah it feels bad to have an aspect banned but the hope was really to just make ...

Re: CLDC 2020 - It's been a while
Agreed that the saw part is the weakest of the various parts in the level. The sprite bounce block there isn't really put to interesting use with it, instead just adding to the strange tedium of having to manage spin jumps on the saw while not being killed from the vertical sprite movement glitch. E...

Re: CLDC 2020 - It's been a while
It's too bad the space level didn't really do anything other than visuals, because it could've been interesting to have a lower gravity or something.

Re: CLDC 2020 - It's been a while
As the person on the receiving end of Darkbloom's incident, I would prefer if it didn't get discussed further. I won't be answering any questions about it either because it was very stressful at the time.

Re: CLDC 2020 - It's been a while
Unsure why the first level even needed the yoshi wings sublevel transition since it didn't use the gimmick of the wings level at all, not even the "clear the level when you exit the bottom of the screen" part, since the end of the area teleported you to a final area with the goal sphere. A...

Re: CLDC 2020 - It's been a while
Second level feels like it has pacing issues because the moles want you to move fast to deal with their timing windows and then the pokeys just slow it all down. I wonder how much better it would feel to play and judge if the pokeys had a faster x-speed?

Re: CLDC 2020 - It's been a while
First level today was pretty cute! I thought it was real pleasing to look at and it honestly looks like it would fit perfectly as a world 1 level in a larger hack. Second level just made me laugh about the fact that no matter what happens someone will always make a literal chocolate-themed level in ...

Re: CLDC 2020 - It's been a while
Ah, would you look at that, 58th is an archetypal bland challenge. For most of the level, setups only consist of one enemy before moving on to the next setup, instead of combining multiple different types to create fresh patterns of difficulty pressure. Most of the difficulty stems from the passive...

Re: CLDC 2020 - It's been a while
I can't believe anyone would still use those SMWCP Elite Koopas in this day and age 2020.
Anyway I logged in again for the first time in a long time because I participated in this contest and I missed you playing SMW hacks and contests again.

Re: ASMT 11th Anniversary LP - Hey There Guy
wait there's actually a second red on those platforms? I thought the 2 and 1 were the same color, and I don't have any degree of colorblindness.

Re: ASMT 11th Anniversary LP - Hey There Guy
I think it's probably safe to say this hack will look pretty rough upon replay, with 11 additional years of smw hacking development and technical advancements. But there was always a certain heart and soul in the hack that I do admire. I miss when everyone was younger and had the free time available...

Re: Donkey Kong 64 - gotta recharge my trombone like a balloon
DK64's sheer density was great when I was 10 years old and only got like 1 game every few months, it meant I had a million things to chase down and do on my way to 101%ing the game. But to try and fully complete it these days is really hard because of exactly the weight raocow's starting to feel. It...

Re: Donkey Kong 64 - basic math with Donkey Kong
DK is basically the worst kong to do the crown fights with because he lacks a running attack that knocks the kasplats on their butts. I always found Lanky best because his arms reach so far.

Re: Donkey Kong 64 - see here, there's a mystery box, I don't know if I can do anything about it
Gloomy Galleon is where a lot of enthusiastic runs of this game died for me, and probably many others. It's too large with little to do in most of the swimming areas, there's a lot of these little side areas that one kong can explore but they're always in like, little sublevels and not the main leve...

Re: Donkey Kong 64 - but now there's bees, what am I gonna do?
You're not missing anything about the minigame barrel at the end of the episode raocow. You're absolutely intended to ponytail twirl into it but you kept missing by a fraction each time. That vine is also just decoration and not climbable.

Re: Donkey Kong 64 - Give this orangutan his gun
Honestly I feel like the rainbow money is a bit of a mistake in this game, because while finding money for stuff with each kong may not be the most fun thing to have to do, the rainbow money almost completely negates the need to seek out individual kongs' money in levels.

Re: Donkey Kong 64 - tiny ape video game
Even as someone who has good depth perception in 3D games, judging depth in the swimming water barrel is really hard. I blame the fact the coins don't cast shadows, and the fact that the camera is so far zoomed out. That is one minigame that you definitely shouldn't have to apologize too hard for.

Re: Donkey Kong 64 - Armored Armadillo
This game is so large that it's probably a good idea for you to handle it like you planned in the video description. Just do whatever you feel like, get whatever you want to, change the scenery as necessary. It's a game that's kind of overwhelming to tackle if you're going for 101% from the beginnin...
