raocow's talkhaus

Already said this on the Youtube, but I feel if you end up switching to per zone, I think you should at least finish Sonic 1 as per act. It's a slower game and suits the shorter videos well if you ask me. But I can see how people could be worried about later games.

I see m/m likes to recycle his level gimmicks, and I can't say I'm the most fond of it. If one level does something cool with a game element and then a level shortly afterwards does the exact same thing, I can't help but feel like it cheapens the impact of the first time it was done. Here we have a ...

There is a little more level history. Manky Bridge was originally a completely different level (although with the same gimmick), which worldpeace kindly made a video of in testing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mm9bBEGKDDQ. The level was changed because I didn't think it made very effective use o...

Isn't making broad generalisations about a culture based on flawed or limited knowledge the basic definition of cultural bigotry? Yikes! A little harsh there, don't you think? Not even a few posts into the argument and you're already swinging the big words like bigot around? For me at least, that's...

That level that doesn't exist looks awful. Like new record of Angrycow awful. Did VIP 2 have no quality control at all? Would they have accepted a Kaizo level? They pretty much did I guess...

I was gonna comment on how gross nasty that final level in today's video was. Then I realized I designed a level in a Zelda game that was basically the same thing but worse. Man, I am a bad person. :(

But yeah, that level was pretty gross nasty.

Now announcing the Make A Better Level Than Sturg contest. Don't bother submitting a level, it probably won't win.

Making the fanfic skippable would be kinda nice. I mean there's censoring speech and then there's censoring gameplay and I think the latter is fine when your intent is to make a fun game.

I didn't win! Woo!

Honestly I'm glad my level was too easy instead of unfair. I think good Kaizo design is kinda like a game of chicken. I may have yielded too early, but at least I'm not dead.

Also holy cow Mechdragon's level is crazy! Well done!

Not going to finalize yours yet until you tell me, Have you been trying to use the luna launcher or the PGE editor? If so, I'll finalize your submission. If not, try downloading them and seeing if you can edit+playtest with them. I thought I had the luna launcher, but upon using the Google it appea...

I might as well since I basically can't make edits to my level for fear of SMBX freaking out again. There's also the benefit of submitting early that you guys might be less cranky before playing my level/more cranky after playing my level.

Well, SMBX tried to veto my decision to enter. About halfway through my level right after I'd gotten to the midpoint, it started dropping frames left and right despite having frame skip disabled. This went on for a few days of trying, so I decided to just end the level early. It's kinda short as a r...

So I'm not that great at SMBX, have very little understanding of good Mario level design, and have a history of severely misjudging level difficulty. What could possibly go wro- http://i.imgur.com/ahPcx3F.gif So yeah, sign me up I guess. Do we have to have a video to show our levels are beatable? SM...

Action of Syo and Bon sure was a thing. It was a pretty faithful recreation of the original level and that's pretty impressive but other than that I don't have any opinions. Surprise is very important in these types of levels and because it was a recreation there weren't a lot of surprises to be had...

Peculiar Night has some really awesome atmosphere stuff going on. I agree with raocow that it's much better when you can't actually see the layers changing. Pavlov Gold is a really awesome level. I love the effect where you're avoiding blue stuff while the song is messing with your head by saying ye...

Okay, so Redigit just set it up like that to screw with people. Got it. Do I need to use a limited number of colors or can I just take off the indexed palette in Gimp and still have it work?

I'm currently trying to make an edit to the Mario player sprites that requires adding an extra 2 pixels to the top of the sprite. The problem I'm having is that when I test the game, "Mario" goes completely invisible. I'm assuming that since the spritesheet is split into a 100 pixel grid i...

do you still have your original copy? I kinda wanna play it again despite it being the only level I had legitimate trouble beating(no really even out of postgame levels this was one level that was so hard it took more demos off me than the secret exit in "that" W9 level now, as for some o...

That didn't work, but disable frameskip apparently does. Dunno why I didn't try that sooner. I think for whatever reason I had it confused what having it checked did.

Wow, Castle of the World got changed all over the place. I could barely recognize it. :P The Ambiguously Cannon breaking was a shame. Anyone know what happened? Originally it was supposed to shoot you through the air to the log bridge which didn't originally extend all the way to the ship. Personall...

So yesterday when I was playing Just Another Screen, I got to the part with all the sacks and my SMBX refused to framerate as it often does when there's too many sprites onscreen. I'm using an older version, but if the level hasn't been changed in the newest one I figure there's no point in download...

kicking around?

If we're going to be making it a bonus boss or something, it could use some rebalancing IMO.

This level was the worst in world 7, and a strong candidate for worst in the game. Levels start to look ugly when there are this many random nonsense obstacles strewn on the screen, and they play even worse. The existence of gravity thoroughly destroys all of the first half's eclectic gimmicks. As ...

Hey, I decided to show up today and you guys are talking bosses. What convenient timing.

Not sure if you guys found a new scripter while I was off putting sticks of butter in my ear and saying, "LALALALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOU," but I could do a boss or two.

Welp, raocow did the second SMBX level I made and it ate up a whole video. I did not see that coming until I saw him playing it and realized how terrible it is if you rush/haven't played the level before. I noticed a couple changes were made to the level after I mysteriously disappeared, which I'm t...
