raocow's talkhaus

I beat worlds 1,2,3,4 and 7 and then just kind of left the game halfway through world 5. Given that I've probably played almost all the levels multiple times I don't feel to bad about not beating the game. xD My demo count as a whole for this game is probably around 4000 or something (a wild guess b...

Really the big thing that made episode 1 work so well was the insane amount of QA it went through. When we started we basically had ASMBXT version 2 with all it's crappy levels and everything. Like seriously... Some of the levels were horrific. There's nothing stopping episode 2 from being even more...

That I am. *dusts hands*

Haha. It amuses me that people keep having to say that now to talk about that bit of content.

We had better actually have a decent amount of time to make and submit levels though because I haven't made any for Episode 2 yet and I fully intend to.

And thus it ends. Maaaan the QA on this game was long. xD Also since nobody can seem to remember; I was the one that came up with the idea of doing a relay for the relay level's name. xD I started with T and was assuming people would make words to follow. Except that it ended up as a mess and had to...

Man, I don't want this game to be over :cry: hurry up and come out with Episode 2! ...On second thought I've barely started my levels, so there's no rush. World 9 Favorite The Floor Is Lava! - Levels like these are weird for me, because I'm so hilariously bad at them, yet I just love playing them a...

Woot! :D

The only downside I can think of is that Sheath looks out of place in what is supposed to be an abstract shmup, but otherwise this is very neat! Good job! Heh. The only reason I left it as Sheath was because I thought it might make it look more technically impressive if the technology being used wa...

I will admit that the level design for Abstract Assault was a little bland. The creation of this level was one of those cases where I was messing around with code and realised I could make the player float; so I didn't really have many ideas for what to do with it at that point. If I made it now I t...

I'm kind of sad how much my level got overshadowed by raocow finding it easy due to being better than most players and then failing really badly at simple pattern recognition on the next level. Only one of the YouTube comments even mentions my level.

Thar be all kinds of rushing ahead it seems. How long did we end up waiting after ASMBXT finished before starting A2XT? I don't think it was that long but I really remember being burned out at the start of it (as I am now). Also I really want to get my engine finished and I keep feeling like it neve...

Yeah. This series most certainly needs a heartwarming end. As far as the possibility of it not getting completed goes; we just need to make sure to have each episode have a moderately satisfying end. Like realistically the series could end right now or continue on since the plot has been very modula...

I use Microsoft Security Essentials too and haven't had any trouble with it at all. I would also recommend getting Malware Bytes since it does really good scans when you ask it to though I wouldn't bother with its active protection since you have to pay for that. Also if you're technically proficien...

Is the plan to make Sheath more active in Episode 2 or will she just continue to be there too despite her being more important? I mean she's not going to be central either way I assume since Kood wasn't central in Episode 1.

I'm kind of sad to see the box with the key in it have its appearance changed to say "HEY THE KEY IS HERE" more or less, because it was completely fine before, but ah well. That's because I got a complaint that somebody made it to the end of the secret exit legitimately without rememberin...

Having the ground be instant death would make the secret exit feel more like a genuinely really difficult level as opposed to an easy level made difficult because the player has accepted a challenge. It's like how if you've ever played minecraft in a city that someone has made parkourable (which I a...

I had a big grin too when I saw the SoW8 cutscene since knowing that I basically gave her her godlike powers. xD Are there going to be sibling fights in episode 2? Because I would really like to give her another one (even if there aren't supposed to be sibling fights). I really like her being this o...

Ooh yeah. We could make each town have a reward for when you 100% the world it's in. I wonder if LunaDLL can be made to figure that out somehow. I'm going to have to dig into this stuff when I have time. I do like the mercy block thing too and I think it should be up to the level author how that wor...

We did have real difficulty. This is actually still quite a hard game.

The vines are all unnecessary. They didn't used to be there and the level was fine without them. Sure, there's the one hard jump right after the midpoint. But, reminder: Right after the midpoint. Easy to retry. Totally fine. I'd like to put forth that the vines were still a wonderful idea and super...

Yeah. Actually having Calleoca be the penultimate level would have worked pretty well in hindsight. Though it does also work where it is to create an intense moment at both the beginning and end of the world. I mean setting the tone for the world is pretty important too. Also I'm not sure if this wa...

I'm pretty sure all you need is a valid student email address. That's all I needed.

I may be planning to see if I can create an entirely separate platforming engine within the game for one single level. Haha. That sounds like a fun challenge. I wonder how powerful this lua version is going to be. It sure sounds nicer than having to hack into the DLL the way I did in episode 1. Also...

Yup. :D That was me. I also did having different hurtboxes to hitboxes... Which given what I could do with the engine at the time was actually a much bigger deal than you'd think with me having to implement an entirely separate collision system and teleport a firebar into the player to hurt them.

Ok. I updated the wiki to be more ready for episode 2 stuff. This is going to be a thing guys! :D
