Re: A2XT2 - Last Night, Good Night

More self-indulgent commentary on Sea Side Slumber: Originally built thinking this was obvious World 1 fodder. But it fits so perfectly with the following two levels that I'm super glad it got placed where it did. I actually thought yesterday... I wonder if the Hammer powerup breaks the level? And h...

Re: A2XT2 - The Dimension-Leaping Shampoo Hat

Self-indulgent comments on Ice Block Drop: This level was frustrating to me. The original concept was to have the replacement Thwomps be the Big Ice Block Tile sprite. The idea was that if every one of those blocks was an enemy, you wold learn very quickly that it was dangerous to hang around them. ...

Re: THE PLAN

Appreciate the update. Sorry to hear so much is on so few shoulders. I suspect most of the remaining work is technical in nature? If so, I'm little to no help.

Re: THE PLAN

As someone without access to the Discord - is there any sort of update on A2XT Episode 2? Is it a dead project? Is it nearly done?

Just curious. Not sure how to keep up to date on these things.

Re: Furi - Finally. Going through that door.

Now that I've finished my run through, my thoughts: For a game famous for its difficulty, it's much easier then I thought. I never died on Bosses 1, 2, 4, or 9. And I wouldn't really call 6 or even 7 difficult, as you can learn them on the fly as well (other than maybe 7's final phase). Only 3, 5 an...

Liking it so far, kind of wish I bought the LRG version now (digital downloads make the experience feel cheaper to me). I have issues with games having too many inputs and...

I'm not sure it ever occurred to me that SMBX had a diagonal toss. Straight up and neutral I knew about, but not diagonal. I'm assuming that doesn't exist in regular Mario games so I never even thought to try it.

Re: why are people enticed to jump on the elevator? seems dangerous if you ask me (MaGLX3)

Dev comments: So the idea of the level came almost immediately, and the original conceit was to actually make the level focused on charging only. Wario doesn't exactly work the way I thought he would though and lots of ideas got scrapped because of how his charge interacts with NPCs and blocks. Even...

Re: MAGLX3: THE MOVIE: THE CONTEST: THE GAME

1) Holy crap then tech on this thing is beautiful and I love you people
2) Apparently sometime between the SMBX2 version used to create the levels and the one for the launch, there was a serious change to a certain NPCs speed, because my level is nearly unplayable now. Whoops.

Re: Shovel Kinght: King of Cards - For that good-for-nothin' John!

I've watched raocow persevere through unfair romhacks, janky 3D games, and bullet hell for 10 years.

Never thought a game about lining up arrows would be what broke him.

Nothing technical like that. I apparently need to verify myself on discord using other website access and I have no interest in doing that.

Re: Donkey Kong Country 3 - Welcome to Kanada!

Well's its unfortunate raocow didn't care much for this one. When I replayed the DKC series in April, this one still stood out as the best of the bunch. DKC1 is fun to speedrun, DKC2 was full of cool stuff but bogged down by some truly awful levels and secrets, DKC3 is the highpoint for me, DKC Retu...

Re: Donkey Kong Country 3 - Welcome to Kanada!

I'm happy raocow appreciates Skidda's Row in world 1. I really love the mix of level themes in this game, and having a snow level so early in the game always felt cool to me. Also, reading the comments here, I'm surprised so many people love DKC2 but are "meh" on 3. I wonder how much of th...

Re: Donkey Kong Country 3 - The Kongtroversial Kongklusion

DKC3 is my long time favourite of the series. I love the music, the cartoonish graphics, the level gimmicks, the bosses, and the fantastic world map. Like, this might be the best map in any game ever.

Re: Crash Bandicoot Trilogy - U R Not Red E

Crash 1 has the issue of 100%ing being shit? Like I remember Eevee from SMWC literally recommending me not to go for 100% on Crash 1, that it wasn't worth it. I don't understand why they would choose to lock you out of 100% on levels until you 100% future levels. It's one of the dumbest things I've...

Re: Crash Bandicoot Trilogy - U R Not Red E

Good timing for this. I never played or seen any Crash until I started with the remake last week, so it will be interesting to see another newbie to the series give it a try. My experience so far: the game has been somewhere between really really average to frustratingly bad. The game is at it's bes...

No need for apologies, I just have more time in the summer months to mess around with SMBX and thought I might help out with testing and fixing up levels. I have no idea what discord is, so I'll just sit tight until someone says the project is moving forward again.

So... how do I test levels?

From what I can tell, SMBX2 doesn't have a traditional editor to launch from. So does testing hav...
