Re: An SMWCentral Production: A game about some eggs
Torpedo Ted is evolving! He becomes... boring as hell.
SO YEAH
So far this hack is in general good except for mercurial quality of the sprite art.
The weird flans with trunks (eleflan?) were something straight outta Earthbound, and pretty cool, but yeah, I couldn't get past the mentality of removing all the charm and personality out of Torpedo Ted.

The nature of the signature is significant and natural.

Re: An SMWCentral Production: A game about some eggs
Eh, the map thing is a big pet peeve of mine, and I've seen a LOT of smwcp people try to explain the 'correct' way of pronouncing the title - even though everyone who's not from that site struggles with it, with very little exception. But that's done now.

I'm really nice.
Re: An SMWCentral Production: A game about some eggs
I think the title screen wants you to say "An ess double-yoo em see production".
Re: An SMWCentral Production: A game about some eggs
The reason for that is the way it is pronounced. It is pronounced as if there is a vowel in front of it (es), so to some people it seems more natural. When you pronounce it "A EsEmdoubleyuSee", it really seems off. It's like calling it "a EsEnEeEs". Natural talking (Least here in America) would pronounce it "An EsEmDoubleyuSee". Technically, the English language you learned in school says it should be "A", but that's because your teachers thought you were stupid and didn't want to explain the real rules*. In practice, it just sounds weird, and it's actually a rule that when pronouncing a letter that sounds as if it has a vowel when pronounced ("S","F","H","L","M","N","R","X") it should be "An", not "A", and a letter that would normally be an "An" but sounds like it starts without a vowel ("U"), it should be "A", not "An". For instance, it's called "An S Corporation" not "A S Corporation".
tl;dr: Learn2English fool.
Also: Whining this much about a single letter? It doesn't even effect the game guys.
*It's also fully possible that your teachers didn't know and, as such, were not qualified to teach English.

Re: An SMWCentral Production: A game about some eggs
the sequel is going to be called simply the letter "E" to prevent future language debates.
Re: An SMWCentral Production: A game about some eggs
I actually agree with raocow on the name. The words kinda do clash. There is no reason to have SMWC and Production. It should be A Super Mario World Central Production and it's abbreviation is ASMWCP.
Re: An SMWCentral Production: A game about some eggs
perhaps the sequel should just have a picture of an ink blot as the name or something to cater to the hermaphrodites of the worldDJSecret wrote:Your statement hurts my brain. Please clarify what you mean.
Re: An SMWCentral Production: A game about some eggs
Personally, I would have it called "An SMW Central Production", since the site is technically called "SMW Central" (As shown by the URL and banner), but really, it all comes down to personal preference and, honestly, doesn't change a thing.limepie20 wrote:I actually agree with raocow on the name.

Re: An SMWCentral Production: A game about some eggs
Yeah but with SMWCentral you get into the whole an thing with es and stuff and it clashes either way. I don't know, to me the full name just sounds a lot better.

Re: An SMWCentral Production: A game about some eggs
I'm not siding with anyone here. I've just said what ordinary people all over the place have struggled with, and explained why that happened! I'm aware for some of you it's difficult to imagine the title being difficult to 'parse', and that's what I meant when I made the 'echo chamber' statement, but jesus look at the disproportionate amount of people who get hung up on the name - that says the intent isn't clear, regardless wether it's right or wrong.
V wuh? No, my pet-peeve is how the overworld has dead-ends and stuff. I mean, yeah, now I know that they're vestigial of a system that wasn't implemented, but at the time I didn't know that.

Re: An SMWCentral Production: A game about some eggs
Personally, I find the issue of how SMWCP is supposed to be pronounced to be incredibly trivial, pointless, and a colossal waste of time.
And if the no scrolling on the OW thing bothers you, it can be easily re-enabled through the OW editor.

Re: An SMWCentral Production: A game about some eggs
I think the no scrolling makes sense because they are like totally different worlds, not one main overworld. Or at least I think that's how it is.

I suppose a removal of misconceived ambiguity might be a good thing, but it's far too late now to complain about it...limepie20 wrote:Yeah but with SMWCentral you get into the whole an thing with es and stuff and it clashes either way. I don't know, to me the full name just sounds a lot better.
@raocow: To be clear, I was not referencing you, I fully understand what you are getting at, I was referencing this guy:

Re: An SMWCentral Production: A game about some eggs
I think Riolu disabled the OW scrolling or SNN might have done it himself (I'm leaning towards the fomer.), but what Limepie said also makes sense since the main OW plays a different song depending on if Mario in the grassland (1), mountains (2) desert (6), or islands (7).

Re: An SMWCentral Production: A game about some eggs
I genuinely expect the worst from this hack, because I am a bigot. But it will be very fun watching raocow play this. Also something else stupid and offensive in this post. So there.
"oh no my best friend was replaced by a evil demon shadow monster"
"argh i am the evil shadow monster demon shadow"
Vip is pronounced "Beep"

Uhhh... Much like the Cragnons, the flans-with-trunks are a Super Paper Mario character. Ah, they're called Muths.DancingMad wrote:The weird flans with trunks (eleflan?) were something straight outta Earthbound, and pretty cool,
And to kill the joke, like, spoilers for the middle of Super Paper Mario for anyone who cares:
"Eee" is roughly how most Romance Languages pronounce "i." At least you didn't suggest calling it Z!S.N.N. wrote:the sequel is going to be called simply the letter "E" to prevent future language debates.

Re: An SMWCentral Production: A game about some eggs
And i can be pronounced in three ways:Oracle of Wuffing wrote:"Eee" is roughly how most Romance Languages pronounce "i." At least you didn't suggest calling it Z!
1. kilon as in k-i-ll
2. kilon as in k-ie-lon (s-ee comes closest in English I guess?)
3. kilon as in k-eye-lon
But let's not get in this language stuff. I just had to do this though.(also I always pronounce it as the third in my head)

Re: An SMWCentral Production: A game about some eggs
The normal exit of that level is composed of pure (or at least fairly high-grade) hatred for the player. And what makes it all the more galling is that it doesn't even give as good a reward as the much easier secret exit.
(Incidentally, I also forgot about the on/off blocks at the beginning of the level when it shunted me back there. I wonder if that was not perhaps an intentional design element.)
