raocow's talkhaus

Today's characters looked unique for the sake of being unique. They don't really offer anything in terms of gameplay. It felt like one of those levels that hands you a billy gun at the start so you just murder everything in your path. I can't seem myself ever wanting to use these characters. And I j...

Like I could understand how that would get rid of different 'jump combinations' (jump -> glide -> double jump) but I think for the sake of being a little more intuitive it'd probably be better(?). Unless there's some issue with getting the code to work that I'm not seeing why would this get rid tha...

How do you use a PNG? I want to use one to make the screen darker in a section. For this case you don't need for PNG BGO's, you can apply fader library and set black screen with half alpha-channel. However you still can make some foreground BGO with semitransparency and save it into PNG format (Lun...

Now that I got to watch the whole video

"Sunken Sanctuary" and "Haunted Skies". That's me. Be disappointed.

Yes. I finally got to see my level played on the internet! :roll: What does "2 munchers" stand for in terms of difficulty? Because I thought my level was, as Ivy stated, "unloseable". I personally couldn't die unless I tried very hard to. Did something break? (you have 7 hits, an...

First place is well deserved. It's also my favourite of the contest. It was crafted well enough that even just seeing a new room you haven't seen before felt satisfying. The only thing I'd criticise: the rooms look unique enough, with ice, fire, scorched earth, red/yellow bricks, ice blocks, which i...

It's "Use of Cards", Personal Fun, Other people fun. 10 each.

Blooper Castle I'll echo what's been said of it feeling on the shorter side of things. I feel the same way, mainly because the level isn't finished. So, about 3 days before the deadline, raocow reminded everyone about the contest again, to finish their levels and said that sign-up is still possible...

It would be nice if we had something centralized to keep track of level versions, change logs, reviews (with version number), level status. When I look through level submissions, I don't know which levels are already outdated, how many reviews a level has gotten already, if it has been changed since...

I would've designed that whole room differently. First of all, word the sign correctly, because it says "odd rows" instead "odd number of blocks/row". I'd change the hurt blocks to background blocks you fall through, and also place NPCs in a way that they fall through, so you can...

During the whole level, I thought: does raocow not noticed that chain chomps are not originally in SMBX? You know, when you program a new custom enemy/behavior, and nobody even notices. (but I think he did) I don't remember chain chomps jumping so high and so fast. They should be a bit more calm bet...

We can rise above violence
We'll settle this kerfuffle the way gentlemen do

KILL 'EM ALL!

Is nobody confident in their own level?

Is Blivsey or Willhart going to make a video of the CinematX cutscenes that broke in the second level today? I kinda wish I signed up earlier than 3 days before the end of the contest. I could've gone for first place had I actually finished my level. But with that list of people left, there's no wa...

Censorship has gone too far.

The graphics were quite beautiful. My criticism for this level is: There were visibility issues with the "background" bricks and the vines. And that one sin I see repeated over and over again, and where a certain person here already knows that I'm going to complain about it: NPCs spelling ...

These updates are more disappointing than no updates at all.

Why do you guys fall for it every time? Just don't respond. To imagine how many days, weeks(?) of work went into this level. All the custom animated NPC graphics. Sometimes, I really wonder if my level has just been lost. The level I pretty much threw together on the last day still hasn't showed up ...

Those sound pretty "difficult", to say the least. I've submitted (and received) much easier names: - Make A Sheath Level X - would've been my second choice. This level would've cleverly used Link mechanics. But then again, I have never read raocow's comic thing and don't know anything abou...

Since the judging is already ongoing, would participants be interested in a full list of unused level names, similar to MAGL's? AFAIK, we've had a lot more level name submissions than the participants received, and I wonder which ones of my own submitted names were either sent, but unused, or never ...

Just thought I'd chime in to say that raocow wasn't the only one who had problems with that level's slide (see Blue Leaf's comments): http://www.smwcentral.net/?p=viewthread&t=78687 Also: https://youtu.be/0E6wSCPeMZo?t=314 It's weird seeing all of these levels I recognize from other places pop ...

You could replace the ACE coins with STAR coins. Seeing a STAR on those coins might help the player realize that collecting STAR coins will be rewarded with a STAR. So, today's level. I've seen a youtube video of it being played before. I clearly remember the slide, the springboard, and the waterfal...

deinga coins http://i.imgur.com/XeoLy4w.png doesn't work too well with SMW ones though quick edit: actually this seems to work a lot better http://i.imgur.com/mXj6VAt.png still has the warning dead on half the frames though so I'm not sure Couldn't you just use a warning sign? edit: that's kind of ...
