It's uh... not much of a level.

I have absolutely NO problem with you handling a 2nd Quest. As it is, I'd simply hand over the HARD mode files, then let you go nuts. I'd test it, edit it, then let a third person test it. I'm for it. The linking should be done (I'll go back and double check 1-3), and you can work off of the base HA...

.... Maybe we drop Hard Mode, change its pipe to a Credits Pipe (for anyone in to that kind of thing) and call it a day for the time being? We could always go back and add a proper hard mode down the line if we felt like it. Aside from Hard Mode, all that's left is some polishing and linking in the ...

Haven't had a chance to download, but hope to get it tomorrow and test it out.

Glad folks enjoyed LBB and super pleased to see different approaches by different folks. Cya again in World 8.

Becuase theres nothing like a good triple post... Hard Mode Extra Challenging Edition Demo or Something So I messed around with the first five worlds. Notably, World 1 and World 3 got the most extensive changes. I think some levels work, others not so much (my 2-2 is complete garbage). The point is,...

STUFF ABOUT TEXT BOX I apologize for the confusion and any problems the text box caused. The text was an issue initially (though I don't recall others stating as such, I know it caused problems for myself), which is why I added the instructions at the end. In retrospect, removing the text altogethe...

HARD MODE LEVEL PACK NOTE: This is just the levels from hard mode, not the entire game. To avoid issues with unfair challenges, I suggest any changes made be limited to: 1) Enemy placement (additional enemies or swapping enemies) 2) Minor layout changes (moving the edge of a jump, the number of til...

I'll try and post the current HARD mode later today. Then others can download and make changes as necessary.

Oh mans. Look at swirly go. So things! 1) I used most of swirlys changes (awesome job on 7-4 by the way) 2) I already have an updated HUB, but I'll probably take your fixes into account 3) The HARD levels will not be in a seperate folder come finishing time, its just that way so its easier while upd...

For anyone curious, exams done and free time is coming back for the next month. Currently working on connecting the first four worlds of Hard Mode. Will update ASAP.

Slooooooooowly. I'm currently in the process of studying alongside working 7 days a week. My free time is nil. I'll post something ASAP, but it will probably just be the first half of hard mode.

All that said, I do agree that the level is unfair in the second half in that it lets you break a brick, race to the top, and THEN realize you can't reach the goal. The first half lets you race if you make a mistake - but the second half, inexplicably, does not. I suggest we address that by adding ...

Easily the best "retro" game out there. It stands shoulder to shoulder with the classics, rather then apeing them and begging for their acceptance.

While the track record is bad, I think SDS 2 should persist where others failed so long as the following occurs: 1) We keep our vision small but focused 2) We keep our team small but productive 3) We accept that what we produce will never be perfect SDS 2 will require greater effort and compromise t...

List of things that will require work/proxies/compromise/acceptance: 1) Missing/Different NPCs 2) Demo and Iris don't use the same health system as SMB2 3) Kood and Rao start with 3 health, health cannot be increased 4) Potion doors (I know SMBX includes them, but my understanding is that they work ...

I've been quiet recently as a result of not having free time, but just wanted to clarifiy that 99% of the author room was the work of Clemasterable, who I handed it off to. Having said that, I have no problem goldifying stuff, and can use the second Luna statue to work with. If you'd like me to TRY ...

Never thought of that. Might try it out this weekend.

If you're referring to something like level 1-3, the endings work differently by necessity; levels with looping events (i.e. moving layers) require different endings to function properly.

Updated to Foxtrot. Notable changes: -Updated 1-Up Graphics to proper SMB1 style -Added Warp Zone to HUB -Added graphics to HUB for HARD MODE and CHALLENGE -Added playable HARD MODE World 1 (testing purposes only) -Changed elevators to 2 second delay -Significant changes to 7-3 (Fish Locations - Sho...

I'm all for a "manual" of sorts. I don't mind helping with it, but probably won't have the necessary time until late July. I just looked at the NES manual for SMB, and I'm in love with the picture showing the journey from 1-1 to 1-4 (showing a cohesive journey). Very cool.

Just for clarity's sake, the 6-3, 7-1, and 8-1 things I mentioned just below were also 'issues' for Sheath. But I acknowledge that she is a 'bonus' character and may not have priority, so... I guess do what you will, but 8-1 requires perfection to get through. The only one that might need changing ...

The game is officially playable with Sheath. 6-3 and 8-1 are both major pains in the rear, but they're beatable. Huzzah!

Also, extra fire bars in castles. Are there any additional changes we'd like to make in Hard Mode? I'm thinking about extending some firebars in the castles as an option. Adding additional Banana Snakes to already existing single/paired Snakes could work too, in certain circumstances (it could get s...

...Is anyone at all really testing the game besides me, though? Nope. Hi, been super-ultra busy for a while and stuff... I can probably give Echo-version feedback, but it'd be tomorrow or the day after at least because I haven't been able to play it yet. However, I did play through the game as Shea...
