It's been a really big project in and of itself, still needs more resources made for it, and I just don't have the time to finish it by the deadline. There's always the sequel or a hypothetical expansion pack. So that means World 5 has one open slot now.
aw man, I was really looking forward to that level! but no problem, there's always the sequel
Oh it WILL be in the sequel that much is for sure.
I just came back from seeing The Protomen in concert which just encouraged me more to ultimately finish this.
In the meantime I can devote my attention to the graphic replacements the game so desperately needs.

World Distribution update:

World 1 - Filled
World 2 - Filled
World 3 - 2 Spaces Open
World 4 - 1 Space Open
World 5 - 1 Space Open
World 6 - Filled
World 7 - 1 Space Open
World 8 - 3 Spaces Open
Postgame World - 3 Spaces Open
Gimmick World - 1 Space Open

intro.lvl - taken
credits - taken
outro.lvl - open
avatars - open

Levels to be placed: Pit Of Obscurity
Known Active, Unfinished Levels: Fricken Meta, Ascend, Ghoul Parade
Unfinished, requiring someone to finis the level: It's a Wonderful Demo

So, that's 11 level spaces we have left, once Pit of Obscurity is placed, with AFAIK 3 levels being finished and 1 level needing someone else to finish it. That leaves 7 potential level spots, the outro level, and the avatar level open.

isn't "credits" and "avatars" the same thing?
also, there's yoshicookiezeus level, Ascend, he was working on it but he wasn't very active here, does anyone have his contact?

I could probably finish that, is that the one by dr_kraid?

If so, did he say that someone else could finish that?

I thought we had agreed to make them separate levels, hence the Credits page on the wiki. At least, I have started a standard-looking credits thingy for it. My understanding was that there would be a standard credits that would credit most things/people, then an avatars level like in STTB.

Yoshicookiezeus has made some of the best levels in the history of the world so y'all should probably try and get that from him.

I was considering outro.lvl to be the default SMBX credits that we weren't using outside from potentional use as a joke in a level/hubworld or the player loading the credits from the title screen, the custom credits level being something different.

By the looks of it however, were aren't going to place the default credits anywhere within the game, so I guess for all intents and purposes, yes.

The default credits are the official beginning of the post game since the tower of bias 2.

oh no, there's only the Outro level (which will only have stuff like "produced by the talkhaus" and a link to the forums) and the avatar credit level. no other kind of credits, that will stay on the wiki (which is why I thought that page was created in the first place!)

No, I had created it so I had something when making this separate credits level, that I started to work on, and is near finished.

I'm probably confused about what you're talking about, can you upload and send to me so I can understand this credit thing better?

Huh? Danger Disco was moved to world 6, which seems pretty high up for it's difficulty...

And Edge of the Universe was removed altogether. I'm assuming that's because it's not completed yet? (Almost done, been slow.)

Yeah, looks like only finished levels are on the distribution list now.

It's probably because there are currently more submitted, unfinished levels than spots left, so no dibs on world placement unless we know you're still working on it and you're active.

If you think you're level is too easy for world 6, then feel free to move it to another open spot.

Also, here's the current list of Open Spots:
World 1 - 0
World 2 - 0
World 3 - 2
World 4 - 1
World 5 - 1
World 6 - 0
World 7 - 1
World 8 - 3
Postgame - 3
Gimmicks - 1
Levels still to be placed in a world - 2 (pit of obscurity and it's a wonderful demo, pending a review before being considered finished)
Levels we know are still being worked on - 3 (Ghoul Parade, Fricken Meta, Edge of the Universe)

That's 10 Levels, plus the avatars level, 8 levels if you count the avatars and credits levels as levels to be put on the worlds list, 2/0 levels if the level cap is dropped back down to 100.

EDIT: Dangit, Pit of Obscurity still needs to be placed.

EDIT2: I guess It's a wonderful demo can be placed now as well. If these aren't placed, I'll do it tomorrow.

they won't count, so effectively, there are 110 levels counting with those 2

Figured as much. Anyway, I took the liberty of placing Pit of Obscurity and It's a wonderful demo in the worlds, and moved Danger! Disco!, since Ignortius wanted it moved. Here's the Open Spots:

World 1 - 0
World 2 - 0
World 3 - 1
World 4 - 0
World 5 - 1
World 6 - 1
World 7 - 0
World 8 - 3
Postgame - 3
Gimmicks - 1
Avatars: Open

Do you really feel that IAWD is well-enough executed to count as completed?

Also, do you have the most recent version? The most recent version having the big ? block in section 2 centred above its platform.

I downloaded this one: https://dl.dropbox.com/s/mbkctybn65hdl0 ... uldemo.zip

As for completion, it looks fine to me. If you want to add to it, go ahead, but I don't see any problem shipping it as-is.

I can apply updates without changing the download URL, you know :P

If you think it's fine then I'll roll with it, it's given me enough grief as it is.

I downloaded it today. Unless you changed an hour ago, I should have the latest.

Ok then. Also, I went through the submitted levels thread, and, unless it was renamed or removed from consideration, stuff in the sky by 8flight isn't on the wiki.

Well, someone (not me) just put it back on the world page.
