Ahh, I've had my coffee and I feel great. Sure you can go through. Are you in a hurry? Okay, let's see if I can remember all the important thoughts I was supposed to about my level! In no particular order: - In terms of level design, this was supposed to be very rompy. I wanted it to be a strongly p...

It's not much to speak of but I threw Demo into my practice routine this past week.

During MaGL X2 I very specifically asked the judges (moreso for MaFAB actually) "hey if the usage of the terms/cards is abstract is that cool" and everyone was like "yeah of course" and then my MaFAB ended up not getting particularly great scores at all, whereas the bosses that j...

2) Zygl's comfortable gameplay style is insane. I watch this crap twice a week with him and I still don't get it <3 I said so on YouTube but this second playthrough meant a lot to me, and not because the level did not need coats of paint on it (it could've used quite a fixer-upper job) but I honest...

I am dead certain it's been like seven real life days AT MOST since I suggested this level idea to Susie in a car ride with her... wasn't expecting it to suddenly pop up, that was hilarious.

There is not and never was anything wrong with King of GETs' level except the people playing it. If you can't figure out to not do your platforming with the fire flower active it's your own fault and not his. I really wish yesterday's level hadn't happened because it actually did have problems and n...

Requiring the flamethrower in a section where the magic circles are moving about and cross your path and shoot at you at the same time is a great way to make people keep thinking Touhou has to be automatically bad and subsequently trash on it constantly without using their brain cells. Very good des...

Oh lordly kings I beg thee, could you spare your humble servants just one goblet of [episode with more than one level] please :( Spoiler warning? Pacing This is by far the longest batch of one-level-video candidates back-to-back in the entire contest. I suspect the pace will improve a lot once we'v...

I absolutely don't intend to cross-promote our streams and muddy up the LP thread, I promise, but I figure it would be good to get some eyes on this magnificent moment from Diggertron's level (the snake shrine) that Zygl and I worked on across two streams, and I think you guys would really enjoy see...

Up + Toss Shell That's SMW tech. Doesn't work in SMBX. ?? https://i.imgur.com/q8ZdIaq.gif ????? Yeah we made sure to test this on stream too because I wanted to make sure I owned up to my words if I was wrong, but... Demonstration of the shell working as expected (This was short enough to clip inst...

Ummm I'm not sure whether it's more confusing that Sturg ranked this 0 for Gimmick or that people need to be reminded about Up + Toss Shell (which if that doesn't work for clearing basic turn block walls I will happily eat these words on stream tomorrow, you have my promise, but come on?). Really al...

Congratulations to everyone who didn't wholly repaint their levels with custom graphics for being physically unable to place high because of the judge who retracts gimmick points from good levels when he doesn't like something.

Wario looks so serious and surly in smbx. Where's his grin? It's like he hasn't had his coffee yet or something. I was saying this to myself. No hate to the sprite artist(s) or anything (please don't take it like that) but Wario's sprites look like a bargain bin action figure of him, which only bot...

Man like... I don't really blame or begrudge the author for most of this level. They tried REALLY HARD to make something cool and a lot of it was really cool... but even though I would've dodged out of the way regardless, the optional ambush slimes at the end seem really mean-spirited? x_x I was so ...

Beetlebelle Harbor is the kind of level I want to see in every world. Just raw positivity and pleasantness.

Palm tree Koopa at the top of the domes. It's a level in my heart.

I'm sorry but I love that picking up nothing can cause a crash lol

As a person who is by far on the average-low side of SMBX platforming skill... why are y'all so troubled by this level. When we streamed this two years ago, a bunch of people chewed this level out and said I needed to blame the level maker more for me not being able to beat it, and I'm just like... ...

I'm gonna remake the SMW engine (but only 4/10 of the way??) and then feature the worst parts of it imaginable: blind jumps, slow/tight obstacles, and a rail saw jump obstacle course with vanilla athletic music. Whooooooo babyyyyyy. EDIT: also Beetlebelle Harbor had a "title drop" with the...

I secretly only make friends with talkhausers who want me to talk about cat boobs and let me spam my art at them so they can wash me in compliments.

Is this truth, or fiction meant to sound humorous? Nobody knooooows :ghost emoji:

I was pretty surprised about the extent of the credits but that was two whole years ago and honestly with current events I have a tough time remembering how old this level submission is because it accidentally reflects a lot of peoples' feelings right now toward real life and the color blue. EDIT fr...

I've been absent from the talkhaus and its surrounding communities for so long and have only just recently come around again because of Maglx3. I haven't talked to so many of my old friends here in so long I don't know how or where to begin. :reimuko: Similar story here, although I've been talking ...

Dino rhino sniffit should be seen as the legitimately funny gag it is. Being upset at getting caught by it, which is in the first five seconds of the level, and feeling legitimately victimized by it, is a miserable state of being. It's HILARIOUS. You go "oh! D:" and then you carry on. It's...

I really like the fact that thus far the two MaFABs have been very short and sweet with submissions, kinda like a game or art jam? (What I'm hearing is that I should, in fact, join game jams.) But I think it should be okay if a contest that is detached from a main MaGL X was longer or gave people mo...
