raocow's talkhaus

Speed-up Sea has terrible swimming controls and feels/looks like the level was made as a normal water level first with a tacked on gimmick.

The reason is not known to very many people (save those who read the request thread); the creator of the final level disappeared off the internet for the longest while. This left the collaborators more-or-less twiddling their thumbs (for lack of a more complementory phrase). Then the level should'v...

No, he actually made and submitted it to SMWC.

There are better filters than "Hey get hurt" though, and it's not like having a powerup in reserve would break anything, since I'm pretty sure getting one while ballooned removes your balloon status. Yes when you get hurt you stop ballooning. And for the filters systems it was the only on...

Hey. Sorry, but I'm gonna have to "officially" give up my level after so long. I'm still completely stuck on how to finish it up and I'm being swamped with commitments on numerous other sites and offline, so I don't really have the proper type of time for this anymore. I'm sorry once agai...

Man, some people get touchy over pixel animals. Next thing you know they'll start a PETY (People for the Ethical Treatment of Yoshis). I think a Yoshi belongs down a hole. They have a fear of heights. Personally I'm starting to get tired of people treating Yoshi like he's some sort of disposable ob...

Oh the SMW hacking community that's been hacking SMW for like 5 years is defending it, finds it easy and says everyone who finds it too much of a hassle is dumb, surprise? :V The only ways that that people could find LM/SMW hacking to be a "hassle" typically fall under one of these scenar...

I'd really like to know where that Rocky Wrench came from. The ones that can be found on SMWC (either on the Sprite page or the one smkdan made) don't behave nearly as accurate to the SMB3 ones as the ones in this level do.

I'm getting pretty tired of you whining that everybody who had anything bad to say about your precious hack is just mindlessly parroting raocow and couldn't possibly have valid opinions of their own. I have (heavily) criticized numerous aspects of SMWCP myself (including my own efforts) to the poin...

Someone sounds mad~ None of those factors stand in the way when it's still more fun to play or watch. I mean, its badness is so in-your-face that it seems more honest, instead of trying to hide behind a polished exterior. Makes you take it less seriously, thus it's more pleasantly surprising when i...

okay, these levels actually looked pretty good. this hack looks definitely better than smwcp "Recycled" levels with tacked on gimmicks, gimmick levels akin to someone trying to cram every single idea they have into a hack, bad palettes, and so-so music/GFX quality? Did I forget to mention...

Because this hack is Brutal Mario Lite with some Touhou sprinkled in for flavor. In other words, because it would make too much sense.

Where the hell did you get that info from?

Or maybe he just didn't care much for the music, opting to focus on other things. Compared to what's been shown so far, it's questionable if he cared about anything at all outside of level gimmicks and bosses. The palettes are ass, the level/theme consistency is Snowflake Cavern-quality, the ports ...

Managed to watch some of the video now. My blatant bias towards Reis... uh... Meiling, made watching that entire level to be very.... bad. Joke status, I can take that, but adding screwy palettes (which strike me as very commonplace in Japanese hacks), bad Toohoos ports AND MeilingGFX that are beyon...

I don't like it because, so far, it's just a bunch of things that would make anyone sigh if shown as screenshots for a WIP hack. ... ... If it wasn't for the Touhou shoved in, this would just be considered one of the multitude of mediocre hacks you could find by searching SMWC. Actually, it would h...

The whole thing is Japanese... If you were talking about something other than the game itself, then specify that. Not everyone is a Touhou fanatic, and not everybody knows everything about Touhou. http://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Hong_Meiling It is known that in 2ch, there was a debate on how to read ...

Meiling gets no respect. Look at what you've done, raocow!

In all honesty, picking up HDMA probably isn't all that difficult (if difficult at all, at least for the easier stuff), but some people just don't want to put the time into it.

Also, the super fancy heat distortion in the background of the sub part was gorgeous. Why aren't effects like that used more often in SMW hacks? Because it's HDMA, which isn't exactly friendly to figure, even with the tutorial Kaijyuu (one of the more SMW tech-savvy people on SMWC) made, leading pe...

Though I DO have to ask why the sub can handle LAVA and is destroyed by FIRE.... My guess is that the fire is actually just muncher plants on fire. Nah, they were actually sprites. The original Marine/Sky Pop custom sprite just has a very spotty hitbox, but Lynnes insisted to use it anyway for visu...

Pretty sure i read YCZ saying even he doesn't know now why he put the disco shell in there and apologizes for it. Yeah I had mentioned that in my YouTube comment on the matter. Also in this latest update, did the first half of Asteroid Frigate ever have its bottom row replaced with sprite-only bloc...

There's a difference between being difficult and being ridiculous.
