Re: Level Contest Japan

I just wanted to say that I really, really liked that the placements of the levels were barely mentioned and not at all shown in the actual game. I feel like it's made both the LP and the discussion a lot more enjoyable and fun. I know that it's not always going to be an option, especially for talkh...

Re: Fly'N 'n' float'n

I suspect that the real challenge of the game is collecting all the things and beating the time trials. Maybe raocow could actually give that a try for one level and see how much fun it turns out to be? Going for 100% for the entire game might be a bit overkill but it might be nice to 100% one singl...

Re: Level Contest Japan - grass town grass town

Good lord... this doesn't bode well for people trying to copy IWBTG-style gameplay into other things. That area needed a good 3 or 4 intermediary saves, at least, and I know from my A2XT2 stage that saves aren't actually hard to code. If this guy coded the instant restart, they should've been able ...

Re: Level Contest Japan - grass town grass town

Whoa, next level looks... interesting.
SMBX controls feel like they're going to be waaaaay too loose for precision platforming challenges you typically see in fangames, but I guess we'll see what happens

Re: Let's Play ASMT! - Episode 14 - A Superficially Malevolent Thing

If I recall correctly, the author of the white and black level actually forgot to put a level name alongside their submission. Since the project leaders couldn't get a hold of them once they actually compiled the levels, they decided to just call the level "Untitled". It's a pretty fitting...

Re: Let's Play ASMT! - Episode 13 - A Steed Murder Thing

Yeah, the horse juggling part can be really tricky to pull off, especially for players without much experience. It's probably the first real "barrier" in the game, aside from maybe the flying level earlier in world three. The interesting part about it is that it's definitely something you ...

Re: Let's Play ASMT! - Episode 9 - A Shy Metaphysical Thing[/url]

Sido is this wannabe edgy German rapper who likes to pose in a skull mask for some reason. Here's an English translation of the song that was playing in the ghost house level. It's... Well, it is what it is. Bizarre choice to port it to the SMW soundfont but there you go. The melody alone actually w...

Way to go to defy all expectations there! Amazing Job! Now to never die during the entire rest of the hack and finish the game with under one hundred demos! The two goalposts at the end of "Noah's ARGH" are simultaneously one of the dumbest and one of the cutest things I've ever seen in an...

Re: Let's Play ASMT! - Episode 6 - A Silly Misfortunate Thing

"Afraid Of Something Unseen" is the first level of the game (out of three or four) that is a straight up reimagining of a Vip4 level. Oyster translates the original level as "The Night of Becoming Afraid of Something Unseen" but who knows if that is the actual name or not. The sc...

Also, do people want me to switch to this modified version of ASMT? https://talkhaus.raocow.com/viewtopic.php?f=54&p=394155 In my opinion the missing songs (especially the custom overworld music, but a couple of other ones as well) are too high a price to pay for it to be worth it. And you're p...

Re: Let's Play ASMT! - Episode 3 - A Sublime Melody Thing

I'm really enjoying this LP so far! ASMT is just full of nostalgia and fond memories for me... Somehow even the levels that are admittedly kind of a thing and not all that well thought out are somehow "not that bad" in my memories, but I guess I might have to reevaluate my opinion when you...

Re: Level Contest Japan - importing contests form overseas

Man, this looks like a fun project so far! I approve of not showing any scores in the game - it makes it feel like a collab instead, which are usually a lot of fun no matter which community designed them. Hopefully this also means no drama and pointless placements discussions as well! I think it's a...

I've been playing I Wanna Get Cultured recently, since raocow apparently wants to play its sequel and I wanted to know what it was all about. I didn't play the second one right away because I have this weird thing where I don't want to play games in a series out of order, and also because it's suppo...

I really felt bad for you there at the end :( I somehow managed to do the springboard thing on my first try so I didn't get nearly as frustrated, but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be able to do it again. The whole thing is just way too long. You're so close to the end though, nearly there in terms of e...

Re: [12B] Where No Man Lands

I don't have time to play right now, but just looking at it in LM I can see that it's a lot more focused on gameplay. I will definitely give it a try sometime soon.

Sorry if I sounded overly harsh before btw, I'll try to be more diplomatic in the future :oops:

Re: Rise to the Challenge redo - Pirate Panic

I always thought it was funny that the overworld of this hack and the one of VIP5 share so many similarities: You start out on a water/island submap which you can see as a miniature after you transition to the big overworld. World 2 is the grasslands, which begins on the lower right corner of the ma...

Re: Rise to the Challenge redo - Coral Capers

This hack is a good hack. Three exceptions: - Some of the layer two levels are very annoying because AxemJinx somehow thought it was a good idea to put vines & nets on layer two (these levels are going to be a thing). - Most of the secret exits are impossible to find unless you know where there ...

Alright, so I've decided to create a google doc where I go over the levels and comment on them and stuff (sorta like I what did for the original JUMP). I don't know how useful it's going to be, but if you're interested feel free to check it out I guess. I honestly don't know much about the developme...

I also have mixed feelings about Skyway to Wonderland.

Re: What's Left To Do thread

What about beta testing? I remember reading somewhere that all levels were basically tested over on the discord as they were submitted, so do you guys think that that's enough or will there be an additional testing phase?
