raocow's talkhaus

Oh hey, it's my sole contribution to this collab! When I first submitted my section, that gray platform was shorter and rotated clockwise. But during testing it was found to require too much precise movement in addition to the somewhat weird physics. So the platform was lengthened slightly and chang...

Lots of feedback on the script. I'll reply to comments scene-by-scene so that it's more organized. Hope I didn't skip over anything important. Scene 1 Iris: (miffed) Stop lazing around. Reminder that Uncle Broadsword's making us cater the ENTIRE party for Stocking Day, so I'll need your help. Demo: ...

This took me a lot longer than it should have, but my Scene 5 revisions are finally done: Scene 5 Windrose: > WISH CONFLICT RESOLUTION CONTINGENCY : SUCCESS Iris: Are we good here? Windrose: > PREVIOUS WISH: = VOIDED > NEW WISH: = "I WISH THE ENTIRE MALL COULD GO BACK TO NORMAL" > IS THIS ...

Level testing fun (maybe?) fact: Teeb used to have a glitch where, if you mashed the button during the transition to the results screen, your raocoin reward would be doubled! For some reason, this reloaded the results screen and caused the score to be duplicated on the board, which I guess the game ...

Finished the Scene 4 revisions! I thought the first version was mostly fine, so I kept a lot of the original text. I hope to have the Scene 5 revisions in the next couple of days. Scene 4 Demo: Whoa! Not what I was expecting on the other side. ?????: > SCANNING LOCATION ... > SENTIENT LIFE-FORM DETE...

I have some suggestions for the dialogue of the Purrtal in particular. I think it would be best if its hints at the bosses were a little less direct so the player (cow) will reach boss x and think "oooh, so this must be boss x, huh?". Nothing too cryptic, just saying "duo" inste...

Regarding A2MT, I attempted a savestateless playthrough last year on version 2.4.3 , and I didn't run into any issues with Demo Kong Country. However, I was using ZSNES because I wasn't sure if the hack was compatible with more modern emulators. Undermoore Passage is broken, though. That level has c...

It's unfortunate that raocow ran into the invisible @sbestos bug. I actually reported this bug in the ASMT server during testing, but it must have been lost in the swirl of heightened dev activity at the time: asmt_discord01.png 2023-12-26_00_48_10.gif It's hard to perform this glitch on purpose, an...

I finally finished the rewrite of Scenes 1-2.5, based on all of the ideas that were workshopped in the AAT Discord the past few weeks. I didn't touch Scenes 3-5 yet, because it seems like we're still ironing out those plot details. Apologies for the hold-up. Lately, my attention's been divided on so...

Reviving this thread to say that the postgame puzzle is finally implemented. Massive spoilers ahead, but just to summarize how the postgame will be unlocked: Clues will be hidden in various levels throughout the game, and when they're all pieced together, offer a somewhat cryptic solution to an othe...

I finished reading the text for Scenes 4 and 5. Completing the script for the main story is a big step forward, but there are a few plot holes that should be addressed, though: After defeating Windrose, what happens to the Clerk? They only show up in Scene 3, and then they disappear. I think the Cle...

Just to update on the public side, here's the text I wrote for three of the castle destruction cutscenes. Some of you already saw the first one on the Discord. The others are new: https://psininja.talkhaus.com/images/a3mt/level11D_castle_destruction02.gif https://psininja.talkhaus.com/images/a3mt/le...

genuinely, we NEED some help finding a good not-crunched image of the boss arena for the final boss guy--the only image we have on-hand has weird sharpening artifacts left by a compression algorithm. You'd need to ask Lord Ruby for that; the clearest image I have is the 256x224 resolution one that ...

we're not sure about having specific trinkets if for no other reason than we DO kinda worry about the post-castle cutscene being a little annoying. can you change the gold yoshi egg thing into different graphics per cutscene? since if not we think having those all be socks would both be funny and b...

we're taking things one step at a time here but: slides 33 to 41. scene 2.5 draft as we were given the okay we need the graphics for levels we've since lost track of or never asked for so we can make the GFX for scene 2 and scene 2.5. for scene 2: just the terrain for the level immediately before u...

This is perfect. Thanks!

I'm honestly not sure how to handle non-walking sprites since pretty much most of the wall will be taken up by the credits themselves. If you have a suggestion on how to make it work on the floor, I can give it a try. Looks like we can't use Map16 tiles to build portraits, anyway. I took a peek at ...

I'd like to have a cameo, but I don't have an appropriate sprite graphic for an NPC. For those of us who don't, I hope it'll be possible to have something like portraits of avatars/pfps on the walls. Otherwise, I'd need to attempt to draw sprite art of myself. Also, I think it's okay if we allow cam...

The way I see it, I think it's reasonable to expect that all content in the hack will be inserted by March. There's honestly not too much left to do right now, and once we get Luckwaive's overworld inserted within the next day or so, a lot of things that depend on it will fall into place. So in othe...

City of Gulp Gulp - To this day a very unintuitive level for me to play. I'm not sure why. One thing that stuck out this time that might help, is adding a sound effect when collecting an orb for more feedback? Like the midway swee or something. A few months ago, I made the water inside of those orb...

I say we just run with Fogel's idea about getting socks. Then maybe we can call the holiday something simple but descriptive, like "Stocking Day". How about it commemorates the day that the ancient ABCDs were given pairs of socks to wear when they were enslaved and working the Great Leek M...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkB_YQ13ZKg I played a few rounds of Suiclops/ASuikaMT (which one is it?), and it's very fun. I've also never played the original game before. raocow did well for his first attempt, completing the evolution chart despite almost never using the aim/launch mechanic. I ...

Took a while, but here's some updated dialogue I wrote for Cutscene #2. I tried to keep some things from the previous draft. It's intended to play out in TRIPLE THREAT, at the part with the three jet planes. Demo: The grocery store's pretty far, huh? Wonder where it could be... Mystery Person: HEY! ...

hol up is start occupied? i thought select was the one to bring up the save menu Start still enables map lookaround on the baserom I'm using, so unless it was overwritten very recently, it should still be functional. Yes, the Start button currently lets the player look around on the overworld. But ...

The overworld is beautiful to look at, nice job. I hope we can free up enough buttons so we can have the player look around the map. Some comments/suggestions: Is there a way to make the terrain surrounding Levels 24, 11A, 124, and 134 more circular or less symmetrical? Right now, it doesn't look th...
