raocow's talkhaus

I'll post maps of my previous levels here, and maybe some drawings too if I find any. I may write some commentary for these later.

ASMBXT MIX part 1

Most of these levels are very old, and finding the download link for this game does require some searching nowadays.
Full game can be downloaded here: http://www.mediafire.com/download/zwotc ... ASMBXT.zip

I don't know how to set PGE to A2XT graphics, so some of the sprites will look different here.

Tree of Broken Memories. Welcome. Tutorial of Spikes. Snowy Evening.

neat stuff, I remember all of those levels
the screenshot from "welcome" reminds me of terraria!

I'm sure people probably know about this, but you can right click the images and then press "View image" to see a larger version of them. These are also in the order of time I made them so far. I figured out how to make not grainy graphics during Treasure Island.

Blood Cavern Treasure Island Four of a Kind

The style in that level was heavily copied from a person called Iv4n. He made some extremely complex and organic levels for his two Pekka Kana 2 custom episodes "Iv4n Island" and "Iv4n Island 2". The community for that game is kinda death right now though.

wow, that blood cavern is too spooky, I was all like "lets open this spoiler tagOHGODNOKILLIT"

i'm still firm on the notion that raocow should play the game (space funeral)

*0*

Soon after and during the play playthrough of ASMBXT I started making these levels. I still had some ideas from the previous game, and I saw some possibilities in the engine and the graphics that were still worth trying.

I would like to see that game played too someday. The colors and the grain of the Blood Cavern don't really show on the video, and I did not spoil the original song that played in the real game, just in case raocow wanted to try it someday.

so, apparently you're mr maker-of-neat-levels guy, cos I remember all of those levels you've displayed so far! and that rayman cloud level, I freaked out the first time I saw it, so many memories!

That one took a long time to make, since I pretty much copied the first section of the level from gameplay videos. I do still have all of the rayman tilesets I found somewhere, but I deemed most of them unusable due to them having a huge amount of tiles.

How can I have your skills? Which demon(s) do I have to make a deal with?
EDIT: Why don't you just fuck off?

I won't be home for a while soon, so you may have to wait some time for my more recently made contest level maps.

At the start I didn't really have much knowledge on the smbx engine and custom graphics. I knew some really good music though, and those were used as a base and inspiration for my levels. I had some experience with the PK2 tileset, so I spend a lot of time figuring out ways to convert it to smbx early on. I tend to write my ideas down and illustrate them sometimes too, so that the npcs will have something to say and I have the theme of the level nailed down as it is made.

I usually start building the levels as I'm converting the graphics, but thanks to new programs it's not really necessary anymore. Getting known with the resources is still very important. It requires some amount of perfectionism to make sure that every tile looks natural, and connects to the environment. Some sense of humor is good too, and usually the levels have some kind of story to tell.

Your level "Alternative Invasion" was a very good example of a well made and funny level. You can always try asking people for video reviews on your levels and to get some good feedback. Also practicing the use of different tilesets that people might not have used too often is a good idea too.

When placing a lot of tiles, placing as much as possible of one type of tile first can safe you some time. If there are two variations of a grass tile for example, placing about one half of the area with the first tile semi randomly, and then filling in the caps with the second tile, ensures that both tiles are used equally.

Edit: I have a deal with the Space Demon siblings of course.

Here are my Tower of Biased levels.

Hopefully they are inspiring for some people.


Reetus Man's Level (Tower of biased 6) Red vs. Blue (Tower of biased 7) Fallout Wasteland (Tower of biased 8) Ghosty Lake (Tower of biased 9)

I'm testing some AUS-style drawing. Using only select view colors seems to work somewhat.

Here are some years old doodles I made around the time I was on college. I might start posting these from time to time.

Magic cats and robot suits. (Located near the bottom of the page)

Other random cats.

These all need to be NPCs in the hug world for MaGL X3.

EDIT: I am not fixing that typo >:c

RenaTurnip x Willhart OTP

More cats. You might remember some of them from one of my early levels. This was mostly just me trying out different faces and poses for them.

This. This is what larger sheets of paper should really be used for.

I like the one in the donut in the bottom right :D You can't convince me it's not a donut. It looks different from the other ones in skirts!

Here is some fanart I've drawn before.

Here are Mishi and Pandamona. Also I think I know who made the clothes for them.

Quick avatar thing for the week.
