You could probably use an instant warp to another section and make that seem seemless.Zyglrox Odyssey wrote:re: "why no midpoint?"
To my knowledge you couldn't just drop a midpoint in there and have it work, there'd be no way to make the boss start from the middle. Unless you could just put the midpoint on a separate layer and have it trigger the second half on that layer being empty, without the first half running concurrently on a restart. Aside from that you'd have to either have a super gross-looking "jump out of the car and go in this door to continue" thing or maybe you could have a separate entrance that the midpoint drops you at (It's a Wonderful Demo-style) that leads to a version of the fight that starts from the second half.
At any rate, implementing a midpoint of sorts into a fight like this is significantly easier now that LunaLua is a thing.

, and one level that I found kinda annoying, the postgame is much more tame compared to the first two special levels.Right, right, I forgot that Starcraft single-player is as easy as Starcraft multiplayer is hard.Arctangent wrote:So basically all you'd have to do is build fifty tanks, select all units, and shift + left click the enemy base?Ditocoaf wrote:so an RTS level thrown in halfway through my platformer will be as difficult as it would be halfway through an RTS game.

Then someone should make that one tiny fix, on any remaining platform-riding touhou levels and send it to you, because that is the most glaring oversight ever. Might not make the levels good, but at least not AS bad!raocow wrote:I think it would, yupFusionWarrior wrote:Wouldn't having an offscreen border of solid blocks around the stage prevent the platform from vanishing?.
I mostly agree with you, but I think a few short and easy danmaku levels to serve as a sort of minigame -- a nice break from all the platforming -- would be pretty cool.Ditocoaf wrote:My point is that having a danmaku postgame level at postgame difficulty when the first 95% of the game was a platformer is kinda dumb. If you want to make a danmaku game in a mario engine just to prove that you can, then make an entire mario-engine-shooter game with a beginning, middle and end. Games are better when there's some kind of connection between one part of the game and another, instead of just randomly throwing entirely unrelated concepts at the player willy-nilly.
Unfortunately, no it doesn't. Not last I checked, anyway, the problem is that Mario hits the blocks (or the side of the screen) and stops but the npc itself keeps going.raocow wrote:I think it would, yupFusionWarrior wrote:Wouldn't having an offscreen border of solid blocks around the stage prevent the platform from vanishing?.
Basically the best way to do this is to completely reprogram Mario's movements using lunalua (I've done so a while back, it was interesting).Zyglrox Odyssey wrote:Unfortunately, no it doesn't.

Yeah, just check it and it is indeed the case that the npc goes through the wall. Same thing if there's blocks off screen on the bottom too.Zyglrox Odyssey wrote:Unfortunately, no it doesn't.

Nah, his biggest crime was not opening up his source code and giving it to Wohlstand.Ometeotl wrote:Redigit's biggest crime was programming in Rinka shooters.
The next level is that Space stage with the Airship piece that IMO is way too long. If somehow tomorrow's video is longer than 1 level, he has to deal with the last Sonic Homage level with a midpoint area I found highly annoying (though they may have changed that)

It took 20 hits, which I agree was too many. But 250% less than that would be... uh... negative 30?Oh Man wrote:Flesh Wall would've been fine it had like 250% less health
I don't think you'd like how The Crimson looks, though...
This is not the kind of game raocow plays... imagine "raocow plays minecraft" oh geezNimono wrote:raocow you should totally play Terraria
i think it's a game you'd enjoy (somewhat), you get to play however you want, you get to build stuff (like demo and iris as a home if you really want!), and you get to destroy the world! Singleplayer probably wouldn't make a good LP, but still! You might enjoy it for relaxing between recordings? Or play with friends who also have the game!
