Soooooo... I went a little overboard with changes to 4-4 in making it non-maze castley.

4-4

Anyone want to give feedback on this? I still have the original 4-4 saved, so I can revert back real easy like. This new version is considerably different.

What's a Luna?

Do the level intro screens cover up the HUB? Sorry for being nosy but if they do, I might look into how you guys did it and reverse engineer it for my episode What do you mean? If you're asking how the stages connect, it's much simpler than you think. Every level has a warp to the NEXT intro at the...

Demo Delirium is perfect. If we drop the SDS2 preview, is there anything else we'd lack to tack on? Pending any final changes to the main game, all I have left is Hard Mode and the Author Room/HUB. To move things along, I'll probably scrap the Castle Mazes and say we wrap testing up by the end of th...

If you'd like to, sure. All I was looking to do was make the path to World 8 easier. I was personally fine with the one to World 7.

Notable Updates -Completely new version of 9-1 (nice to have someone test) -Major changes to 9-2 and 9-3 (need testing) -Potential new 0-1 (just a shot at it, doesn't have to be the used version. Access via Level Editor) -Updates to levels by Cheez8 and Mabel -Intros now have graphics (needs touchin...

Does someone want to give a third opinion on 6-2? I felt the original had some oddball layout issues and that the whole thing felt off, so I made major changes (the ones seen in the Demo version currently out). Swirls saying it was unecessary, but I hate to change it back if others feel the same as ...

We can always add back in the lakitu roof thing to the normal 8-4. I just wasn't sure how to handle it; the Paragoopas felt unfair, but with a different layout it felt overly easy (run right, win). So.... I dunno, we can make adjustments. As for using the base version for Hard Mode, I'm not really s...

STUFF! The thing is that's more or less the opposite of what coin trails should be, since the instinct is to get them, not avoid them. I think I'll just go back to the original version then. Without a visual cue, the bullet bills are awfully bull-shitty when paired with the jumping fish. Will fix. S...

Working on making fixes to World 9. Completely new 9-1 is done, 9-2 is drastically easier, and 9-3 is no longer a precision jumper. Will have a completed copy sometime in the next few days. Also, if you have ANYTHING to say about the main game, tell me soon. I'll be starting Hard Mode sooner rather ...

If the problem is that they are confusing players, I'd opt to simply change the graphic to the default coin graphic. I beg you not to make the coins hurt. I don't see any way that doesn't result in creating SMW Muncher style difficulty, which I detest. Really though, I didn't realise they were a pro...

Ok, I just played both and 5-4 is alright, though the bullet launcher didn't really need to be removed 8-4 however, looks like an even worse but reasonable mess now, the changes are mostly fine, but im gonna do some more changes(like the bullet room among other things) the section before last with ...

-Removed a Bullet Bill Blaster

Which one? For some reason, I'm not seeing the change.

Huh. Must've not saved it. It was supposed to be the Double Bill Blaster turned into a single. Will correct for next release.

Not that I know of, but that would be a nice touch.

Aaaaaaaaand updated to Demo Version. Lots of small updates here, but a few major ones. For anyone still interested in testing, but not interested in doing a full run through again, try the following levels. 3-3 5-4 6-2 7-3 8-4 (still a WIP: The Bullet Bill room needs to be nerfed or replaced) Also, ...

Thanks for all the feedback Swirly! Will make changes this weekend. A few quick notes... Re: Snow and Night Music I'm planning on just ditching Night Music and using Overworld music instead. The decision to ditch the old Night Music came after testing the game with a friend who I trust to have a &qu...

Also I did a warpless run of the main game and overall I feel like the game's way too generous with its stuff. There were maybe five levels I didn't have fireballs for the whole time, and it overall felt significantly easier than the original SMB. Of course there's nothing inherently wrong with tha...

Huh. Haven't been able to recreate that one. Not sure what would cause that.... I suppose one option would be to have a back up exit at the edge of the screen incase that happens.

Swirly, you da bomb (har har). Seriously though, I'm a huge fan of the old NES art, especially Mario, MegaMan, and Zelda. If you wanted to create official art, whether that be a fictitious boxart or instruction manual designs, that would be super cool. Even better if we could slip it in the game som...

See, you're trying to use logic on this one. That's the mistake you made.

I'm sticking to my coding system.

Ice physics done on a tile by tile basis, not on a level by level basis. And apparently, I'm gonna have to go through and manually change them all, cause the engine won't let me change the blocks graphics. I'm an idiot. Problem fixed.

7-1 (Axon) This may be too hard. I don't know, it's actually quite similar to the original SMB's 7-1 (intentionally). It's also relatively short. Personally, though, I think it would be better without the ice physics. In fact, I feel that it would be a good idea to make it so snow levels only have ...

Woops. Will be in next update.

Nah. I use Alpha Beta Charlie Demo Echo Foxtrot...

Updated to Charlie version. Trying out Snow theme music this time.
