raocow's talkhaus

Argument. Out of curiosity, when (month, and general time of month) did you suggest critiques? and as far as push and pester... look at how annoyed everyone got at me :P But at least I fixed stuff... but I bet I posted 15 versions of my level to look at... I-- People, this is not the place for this...

Well, ultimately, I was the only one who seemed to give enough feedback for Zaquaa to gauge his level from an outside perspective during testing You did give me feedback during the testing phase and I appreciate that. The problem is that you did it during the WRONG testing phase. It's one thing to ...

Well, ultimately, I was the only one who seemed to give enough feedback for Zaquaa to gauge his level from an outside perspective during testing (I think?), and then we entrusted that he'd fix things. This may be because I'm the only one who went through that route... twice... ...this might also exp...

I feel distinctly wounded ;-;

it,s all going to be explained in the video itself edit hey guess who's mike doesn't work at all Oooh, ooh, mine doesn't! ...But I get the feeling the correct answer is "yours". D: Oh, and raocow, you have full approval to use savestates between each sublevel. The final castle... is long....

That gave you more trouble than I expected XD

Either way, Munchy Plant Ruins is probably my favourite level* in the whole hack.

And it only gets crazier from here on.

Ara'c Desert Serac (Wait, I suppose it was spellcheck fixed, still wondering who the hell Ara is and what a Serac is) is just plain a lot of fun. It wasn't too difficult, though the jumps right after the midway point were rather tough (But that also means that midway point was more or less perfectly...

Why did so many people make so many freaking puzzle levels? I mean, you all knew this was going to be LP'd, why are there so many levels that aren't that fun to watch get LP'd? I mean they can be entertaining, but this is like the fifth freaking puzzle level in short order. I think it's one of the ...

I think almost everyone should be banned. They're all creepy as hell and none of them have rumia avatars except sharkenaa. I don't know whether to agree with this and risk a probation or agree with this and risk a probation. Choices, choices. On another note, I assume this is being done with a part...

This is a good question. We should probably make a point to pay specific attention to the existance/non-existance of midpoints next time @_@

Yeah, I more or less agree with Cheez's suggestion. The whole idea of "Fuck story/setting/continuity just let everyone design whatever" is that when it actually comes time to build a world and some sort of maybe-continuity up around that... it's a little tricky. And by a little tricky I me...

Aghhh I've been sitting here jumping around on the the beta version and trying to remember what everyone's so excited for in World 7 and I remembered a lot of stuff. Especially the music. Dear christ I love you Kil, for the music, and that specific secret chunk of music ASM which I won't specificall...

By the way, it's kinda funny how there is a message that there was the last water place for a long time and the next level is a water level. Gotta love continuity errors. Yeah, that's kind of amusing, but I think the message box was more intended to tip you off that the water in the mirage segment ...

HOT! HOT! DESERT! is one of my favourite levels in the hack, actually. The whole use of mirages and the background (layer 2?) shenanigans made incredibly unique, and it was a really nicely designed level on top of that.

Not gonna spoil anything, but he reason there isn't that much directly plot related stuff is because not everyone likes it and this is some kind of compromise. Well, yeah. I don't need anything major, since this isn't a story-based hack, I'm just hoping for a small cutscene or something in Castle 6...

Broken puzzle level aside, I'm pretty stoked to see what's up with The Frozen Crusade. The fortress levels have been way entertaining thus far. Don't expect anything too amazing. Its just a basic level. No gimicks.. yeah I know lame. No gimmicks, but it's a rather fun and solidly deisgned level all...

Anyway/Also - the ice fortress there, is the secret exit supposed to not do anything? And yeah, that secret exit is supposed to lead to the castle, and I even think it was pointed out in the testing thread, though don't trust me on that one. Erm... okay I went to look at it. The exits do actually w...

As far as I know a lot of you should have the exact same game I have so, hey, dude did enough for the game already. Yeah, but for some reason people are still waiting on him o.o; EDIT: I think he's got the rom half update-compiled and stuff. Maybe? Anyway/Also - the ice fortress there, is the secre...

It shouldn't break the game if he doesn't get it (I really really really hope), as a lot more focus was put on the later levels; especially the final world, in making sure it all works right. Also nobody's really stepped up to take charge in actually changing anything, if I've heard right, and so it...

I think what was almost more needed was a checklist to ensure that all the stages -did- get tested to all exits. I know that there was a couple secret exits I just could not find when testing, so I ended up just skipping over them; this was one of them (I am not a fan of puzzle levels, admittedly); ...

?~[AOD]

The slipperiness. Notice that at the beginning, raocow comments that the slipperiness is gone. However, by the end of either route, he's sliding all over the place.

I remember really enjoying playing this level. It's challenging, but in a really really fair way.

If ASMT2 was like this in difficulty I'd be all over it.

Oh man, THIS LEVEL. I kind of half raged and half laughed my ass off at this during the testing. Simultaneously. I'm actually very curious to see how a TAS handles this. Speaking of which, did whoever-Raocow-wanted-to-do-it ever start TASing this game yet?

A lot's been said already, but I feel like giving bonus points to whoever it was that ported over the Super Marisa World Hakugoroshamboryoku music. I always wanted to hear that brought back to SMW, and it was bloody wonderful <3 Also - Though Rumia is awesome - why Rumia? The better question is, why...

Also, it would have been the hardest stage in the collab hands freakin down. I disagree (Levels we haven't seen yet spoilers) That one castle room (missile x was a castle room, right?) that is red with the disco hopping is wayyyyy harder and actually in (I hope it is not, though, that shit was nuts...
