honestly I was mostly just going to stick to the a2xt2 LP thread and one other space but at this point idk anymore.
anyhow, super-belated agreement with Noelle. Demo(n) (Cleansed) get's an A+ in cute

brb updating the ABCD bios thread

So it changed a bit in the process of transcribing it from my head and then scrapping that and slapping down a few loops and improvising the second half, but

Yeah, like, I won't say I'm not the slightest bit nervous about viewer reactions to individual bits of future content (the vast majority of them being from me and Hoeloe), because I am and probably will continue to be through the rest of the LP. But on the macro, the big picture? I've mostly come to...

This game is polarizing? There are a lot of things in this game that, depending on who you ask, are either really cool/fun/interesting, pretty neat, aggressively mid, or crimes against game design. The towns (including the hub), story, bosses, and original music tracks have garnered especially vari...

to quote myself in the spotzone a few days ago, it's been quite an experience seeing how polarizing a2xt2 has been, that's for sure both in reactions to the LP and from people playing the game on their own I personally have mixed feelings about Leviathan and the music I made for it was kind of a thi...

Finally back at the computer, still haven't watched (doing so immediately after posting this) but knowing today's level and boss and seeing the posts here + the spotzone, I have an idea of how it probably went.

have been stuck on my phone on mobile data for most of the day so I haven’t been able to watch the video. the thread title I had earmarked for today is Deep Sea Girl.

unironically impressed that the forum software sends those alerts for when people add quotes to post via edits It does??? I thought it worked like discord, where pings only count if you publish the post with the quote. If it was caused by me quoting you at the end of the OP, my apologies! Though al...

The old set was a Village People reference. Out of context the inclusion of a cowboy and an American Indian seemed sketchy, to say the least, and while looking into the group I read that Felipe Rose had claimed to be descended from 4 different tribes on different occasions and we decided to play it ...

Wish I could’ve been like, triumphantly posting the remaining three sprites and Noexitclub theme together with this morning’s video reasonably close to time with a more video-tailored thread title but a combination of the consequences of my own decisions and my family having other plans for me is hi...

fun fact: there is a thread title candidate called “on the rocks”. Its wiki page gives an epilepsy warning for the PV, though.

I did these two and then got very sidetracked, I'll touch them up and sprite the other three later https://imgur.com/tegurUa.png Also while making these I was vividly imagining Noexitclub overriding the bgm with some kinda fast funk groove every time he's onscreen. The player hits a block and he eme...

I should really go ahead and make sprites for the neighbours already. Noexitclub first.

the A(BCD) side never dies.....

Not that I want to just "get through" this LP but I am very much looking forward to AAT for so many reasons. And capping things off with A2MT would make for even more of an interesting retrospective on this whole era of the ASMT series.

Nevada's entry is showing up/updating a world early. Whoops! Belated videopost due to thunderstorm + my phone not charging last night. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TH6GYJfXXag STORY STUFF ENDS AT 3:30 SO IF YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT THE REST FEEL FREE TO CHECK OUT AFTER THAT. Summary, for those who d...

https://imgur.com/zVYPUDy.png Basically, the original plans for world 4 called for the path starting around the base of a mountain and gradually moving up it, weaving in and out of cave systems along the way. But it was slightly awkward to implement that perspective with how we handled the maps and...

There's been a few cases of graphics from A2MT getting repurposed as different enemies in SMBX projects. In either ASMBXT or A2XT1 the horizontal genies in particular were used for... I forget what they're called, rippers? The ones raocow sometimes calls lobsters. And so that just carried over to th...

Found it, uploaded 7 years ago. And that's a pretty cinematX-ass boss HP bar but not the cinematX-ass boss bar, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯



also apparently today is my youtube channel anniversary. I'm going to celebrate the occasion by doing absolutely nothing.

Further boss commentary: the fight was originally made by SAJewers with layers and events and a no-gravity koopaling, including Pal pushing the plungers after a period of time, so I mostly just recreated it in lua and embellished it. From what I remember, the koopaling's projectiles had an interest...

I will say, if Hoeloe and I had inherited a level with an ableist slur in the title it would've gotten the same kind of response/treatment the old review team gave Busty Cave, and if such a level were submitted in the latter half of this game's development it would've been vetoed in its entirety. Fu...

new raocow sound bite unlocked: Afraid Sounds! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1m8znkYXs8I To be crystal clear: the plane of extraordinarily dull forum games line was not meant as a dig at the talkhaus' forum games or forum games in general , it's just in the sense of like a plane of existence full ...

- Aquatic Grotto: apparently, this level used to have a softlock warp to the left of the start that got quickly fixed and that warp was only found very VERY recently. other than that, initially you could get the other leek without getting all the raocoins and that got fixed once I pointed it out. C...

fwiw I got the reference from the start but also I saw an opportunity to atsypost and I took it Anyhow, I'll keep the Aquatic Grotto commentary relatively brief: as could be gleaned in the video, Calleoca keeps track of some stats in the context of the level. In particular, her dialogue changes base...
