For Horikawa? Yes. For Sturg and Quill? No.

Both Sturg and Quill are over half way through MAGLX2 though, which isn't bad by any means.

I was disappointed with the recent updates because I expected Sturg and Quill to be a lot more done by now.

Hey, they've already both judged more levels than there were in last year's contest.

Really gives you that sense of scale.

Holy moly, you're right. Wow.

Yeah but last year we would have been finishing up the let's play by now.

I really hope the Prime Minister of Australia promotes the Lets Play of MaGL X2... _{Would make an amazing advertisement for raocow on Radio Dead Air}

dont worry horilady, you still have the MAFAB levels to go through

suddenly I don't feel so bad about cutting the 2nd star from my level

I feel like some cookie cake is required.

Since this thread is for general overall discussion, right?

How's the hub design coming along?

Wasn't there a discussion of sending Horikawa pizza earlier in the thread?

It's only missing the levels and some lua related stuff for filters and such. The theme of the hub was probably mentioned somewhere.

I winced because MAFAB but then realised you were talking about the standard levels phew.

Oh man tho, congrats on getting through the main meat! Now you just have dessert. And then waiting on the other diners to finish too.

excitement intensifies and all that

My second star is not even hard to get it just requires a bit of exploration and creativity so I'm not worried.
Not that I even am in this for score.

Mine requires exploration which shouldn't be an issue but the choice of putting the secret exit itself after the midpoint and the access point for it before it might damage my score some. (Though skipping the midpoint really isn't that difficult in my level.)

I made sure my midpoint was pushed off to the side and optional because

you can get better powerups before the midpoint than after

I can now breathe a sigh of relief because my level had neither Rinkas nor a second star

My level had both rinkas and a second star... uh oh... except I'm not actually worried because I'm quite confident they were delegated to sufficiently minor roles.

My rinkas are sparse and only really an issue if you stand still for more than 3 or 4 seconds, and other enemies would be a bigger issue if you do so anyway. My level actually used to have like, triple the rinkas.

Congratulations on getting through all levels!

And I see my boss is processed too. Looking forward to getting feedback on that one.

My level had Rinkas but never more than two at a time. That said, there was one spot involving them that I wanted to tone down but couldn't think of a way to. I did provide regenerating power-ups at that one spot, though, so it probably wasn't bad enough to warrant god mode. And if it really was me, then on the positive side, that means everyone else showed a lot of restraint on Rinkas. (I doubt we're that lucky, though.)

As to the second star, while I have my concerns about it, I feel like I made the process of getting it interesting enough overall. It definitely taught me a lot about using SMBX, so I won't mind even if it did hurt my score.

Horikawa how much pizza do I have to send you to make sure I don't get in the bottom ten
