Also, raocow skipped all of the totally rad content closer to ground (or rather pit) level. I feel as though these elements are both essential for the level's artistic vision.

Re: MaGL 3 results: SMW is somehow still a thing in 2016
As I said in the YouTube comments, I know I got last but hey, I brought out raocow's musical side, and to be honest that feels like victory as far as I'm concerned. I basically imposed the Mario Maker "you gotta beat it before it's done" rule on myself so I couldn't make anything remotely challenging (bad at Mario + playing on keyboard + for some reason even SMW makes my laptop lag), and September 2016 sucked and can go eat a ham. I wanted to make a ceiling but I couldn't do it in a way that didn't just look like a baby did it, and it really still would have been a "nothing" level so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Re: MaGL 3 results: genuine effort city (tm)
Well, I'm using SNES9X (as does raocow), so the issue isn't the emulator; rather, the issue seems to be that the FG1 Vertical Scroll was set not to "no vertical scroll" but rather "no vertical scroll unless climbing/flying/etc". Bear in mind that this "etc." is fairly large, and includes jumping while running at full speed, which it looks like raocow was doing in the video. Try roughly mimicking his movements yourself; you'll get the same result. But do not fret; instead, merely take it as a reminder of that lesson we've all been taught many times by now--if it is at all theoretically possible for raocow to break a level, raocow will break that level. This is the way of the universe.Truckeeben wrote:Yeah, there was no vert scrolling for me either. I guess that "puzzle" only works in ZSNES for some reason.

Re: MaGL 3 results: genuine effort city (tm)
i gotta say, it's pretty impressive to make a fully functional level without playing it once (even if it's kinda boring)
i predict we might get some too hard levels next video, though maybe we'll get lucky again and have some fun

yo have you ever heard of google before? really helpful on finding out how 2 do stuff. i think you def put yourself in this hole tbh. if youre competent enough to make a level in lunar magic, you're probably able to yknow.... use the internet to look up snes9x and look up how to download it & get it working???? or ask in the discussion thread if you needed help?? c'mon man you shot yourself in the foot hereZephyr_DragonLord wrote:...I had no idea how to download a working copy.

Re: MaGL 3 results: genuine effort city (tm)
I'm kinda wondering just how close the scores are going to end up being. I know that in MaGL X2, some scores were literally 1/100th of a decimal apart.
To the judges: Will the scores be pretty close together (especially in the middle), or was it very easy to discern proper tiers from best to worst?

Aside from the obvious jump from Truckeeben's level to the rest, nearly everything was pretty close for the most part.King of GETs wrote:I'm kinda wondering just how close the scores are going to end up being. I know that in MaGL X2, some scores were literally 1/100th of a decimal apart.

However, there is quite a discernible jump between the rest and the top 10, and an even bigger jump between places 10-6 and places 5-1.
Y'all have fun with that information.

Re: MaGL 3 results: genuine effort city (tm)
VANILLA SMW LEVEL actually looked pretty good. Interested to read the judge's comments (or see the following levels) to see why it placed so low. Unless it was just because of the 105 level edit.

Re: MaGL 3 results: genuine effort city (tm)
Huh. There's a level I know that SURELY should've scored below GalaxyofJ's level, seeing as it's basically a perfectly fine vanilla level, design and all. That ought to be the HEIGHT of romps, but I'm pretty sure there's at least two others.
And I mean, I didn't find VANILLA SMW LEVEL that much of a romp myself, dying plenty of times through it.

Re: MaGL 3 results: genuine effort city (tm)
GalaxyOfJ's is actually my highest scoring level of the ones shown so far, but I guess the other judges thought differently lol
(also fun fact: there is a single level that I scored LOWER THAN TRUCKEEBEN's, so be prepared I guess)

Re: MaGL 3 results: genuine effort city (tm)
raekuul: One of the few levels I played myself. It would actually fit well as a SMW Star World level, in my opinion. Picking up blocks in rapid succession is actually a fun thing to do.
Aura Knight: For some reason, I really loved the aesthetical flavor of this one. Maybe because it's really open-air for a castle, which people don't really seem to do all that much.
Galaxy of J: I love JOKE! I know though this is far from a joke entry. The layout is really neat for something non-focussed on setups or central ideas!

Re: MaGL 3 results: genuine effort city (tm)
So yeah, after going through a bunch of ideas that were either too complex for the time span or just not fun, I decided to just open up 105 and make a completely forgettable and lightly-challenging romp to give myself a break from destroying myself on super complex meta levels. So this is what we got: a level that is basically my version of 105 but with added Tactical Goombas. Also jokes! Can't say I deserve anything higher than this since I made quite possibly the most plain level ever (as indicated by the name)
Though showing up this low means that this contest is going to be ramping up fast so I'm super excited!
Could have very easily included a midpoint, but sometimes you just don't.
Also Cool Shadow Galaxy will be my first entry to the MaGL-Galaxy contest in 20 years.

Re: MaGL 3 results: genuine effort city (tm)
oh, and since VANILLA SMW LEVEL is one of the prestigious seven levels i actually played and reviewed earlier, here's my review i wrote a month ago!
Well, it wasn’t exactly incorrect. This was a very vanilla level. I was definitely expecting less vanilla, considering how titles like that are rarely accurate, but that really only kicked in at the last screen. Kind of disappointing, but it’s still a very solid, pretty fun level in its own right, even if it isn’t memorable.

Re: MaGL 3 results: genuine effort city (tm)
The second and third levels felt amazingly Mario Maker to me, but in the good way
Re: MaGL 3 results: genuine effort city (tm)
"well that happened" had a neat look imo. It makes me wonder how a level would play if you had a "swaying" layer 2 like that, but instead of being pickup blocks you had horizontal wraparound. I've never made a level, so I don't know how hard it would be to implement in either SMW or SMBX. Or whether it would really be a good idea or not, for that matter...

Also the JOKES! entirely went over my head because I was too busy being all ':OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO' at the sudden Kabu there at the end. idk why it startled me as much as it did.
Re: MaGL 3 results: genuine effort city (tm)
Oh yeah, and the story behind Jokes! was that I wanted to have the entire level be completely vanilla except for one single Kirby enemy. This was way too subtle, so I tried to make one screen of the level be a kirby screen, complete with enemies, background objects, and tiles. I got way too perfectionist about this version and had to stop myself from going and importing a bunch of kirby assets. After that I decided to throw in the last screen and also include tap tap. Then I forgot to add tap tap to the level properly so it was his broken graphics, but that was funnier so I didn't go back to fix it.
For fun, from my earlier level attempts: here's some of what I tried to use.
Needless to say, there were some elaborate ideas going on in there. The last one I tried (and got pretty far in making) was a metroidvania level using the toggleable switches (editted to not be toggleable so they were just in-level switch palaces) and the patch that put powerups in every ! block. It was running through various interlinked rooms which were all themed on different areas of SMW to find the Switch Palace rooms and enable the blocks, which would be your metroidvania powerups (and they doubled as midpoints since the switches save on death) to access new rooms.
That's the one I canned for not being very fun. The idea was sound and execution-wise it worked extremely well, but it was just kind of boring. I think it could work if it was made into much larger level, but the iteration I was trying just didn't click.

Re: MaGL 3 results: genuine effort city (tm)
Basically what I wanted to do with Well That Happened was a vertical layer 2 level. I think I succeeded.
Fun fact #1: Well That Happened is actually as tall vertically as SMW will allow for that specific level header.
Fun fact #2: The reason I made it a descent - and subsequently, the reason for the goal sphere, ghost house intro, and music choice - is because I figured ascending would be too draining. I didn't start laying the layer 2 stuff until after I had already decided that.
Fun fact #3: I consider "feels like a vanilla SMW Star Road level" to be a huge compliment :3

Re: MaGL 3 results: well that happened
My commentary when i played some of these:
truckeeben - yeah, jokes
steventhepotato - wow that was good
raekull - that certainly did happen
GalaxyOfJ - nice Vanilla Level, but seems to spam enemies, feels like a reskin of Yoshi's Island 1, a.k.a level105

I like how Koopster thought raekuul's level wasn't just a level that 'happened'.
Also keep in mind that there are judge favorites in this contest too O:
(though I don't think we chose least favorites)
(also I think I was too harsh in my comment for ShadowAuraKnight's level, sorry about that)
