Updates/Announcements

FYI:

<Demolition> SAJ: darkychao says the EOW8 cutscene will be done by tonight

[phencer42]

Hey guys, any chance we can get an overall status update for those of us who haven't been following things as closely as we would like? I understand you guys have been scrambling around to get the last things put together but there haven't been any solid status updates in a while in this thread. Thanks a bunch.

[SAJewers]

Funny enough, I was just about to post an update.

Anyway, I now have the OW, minus a few graphics. I just finished streaming of a quick test of it, and linking it with the HUB.

All that's left really is the following:

- Get the Fixed EOW 1 from Demolition
- Get the Final OW Graphics from Feenicks
- Do up a few extra levels (mainly warp levels to fix an issue with the OW music. I've got this covered.)
- Get the credits from Holy
- Fix a few levels that have names that are too long (e.g. AUS's level)

Once these are crossed off, I can put up an archive of all the levels for people to test. If you have an update to an Episode 1 level, post it now.

As well, these need to be done:
- Figure out how many leeks there are per world so I can put leek counters in the HUB (someone want to do this?)
- Write up a level list for raocow (I can do this)

If there's something else I forgot, post below.

[phencer42]

Neat, thanks man. You guys have been doing a great job in keeping this storm of chaos in a decent semblance of order.

[Sturg]

Oh, I already wrote a level list with a big portion of the exits + stars haha

I can finish it and give it to ya today.

Also Feenicks gave me half of the graphics today, so yay!

[SAJewers]

OK, The Following Level Names are apparently too long, can we cut these down?

• Forgotten World That We Just Remembered
• 26th Place - AUS: "Level 1 - Winter City"
• Wooden Platforms Hanging in the Sky (the last letter just gets cut off here)
• The Depths of the Transcendental Dimension

What I'm Talking About (OW Spoilers Ahoy)

[Willhart]

You can probably remove word "the" from some of them.

What I'm Talking About (OW Spoilers Ahoy)

Forgotten World We Just Remembered (-5 characters)
26th, by AUS-'Level 1 - Winter City' (-5 characters)
Wooden Platforms Hang in the Sky (-3 characters)
Depths of the Transcendental Dimension (-4 characters)

Does that work?

EDIT: Wood Platforms Hanging in the Sky (-2 characters) would also work.
so would 'Wooden Platform Hanging in the Sky', though that seems a bit odd for the level...

[Ditocoaf]

Hey, I just happened to click on this thread from the "recent posts" browser, and I'm going to leave before I catch too many spoilers, but I want to chime in that "Wooden Platforms Hang in the Sky" sounds way better than "Wood Platforms Hanging in the sky" (largely because it breaks the nice-sounding iambic rhythm of the original at the end of the phrase instead of at the beginning).

[AUS]

26th, by AUS-'Level 1 - Winter City' (-5 characters)

If that fits, I would like to formally approve of this change.

[docopoper]

Why the change from double quotes to single quotes for AUS's level's name?

[SAJewers]

Apparently SMBX doesn't like Double Quotes. If I use Double Quotes in AUS's level, it corrupts the OW. Works perfectly fine with single quotes.

Forgotten World We Just Remembered (-5 characters) Works Fine
26th, by AUS-'Level 1 - Winter City' (-5 characters) The y just gets cut off
Wooden Platforms Hang in the Sky (-3 characters) Works Fine
Depths of the Transcendental Dimension (-4 characters) Last 3 letters still cut off

Does that work?

It appears you can fit Max 35 characters on the OW, so AUS's level needs to be shortened by 2 characters, while Frozelar's level is 3 characters too long.

[AUS]

26th -AUS- "Level 1 - Winter City"

[PKBeloved]

Someone told me that this had gotten cancelled! Its not true correct!?

[Willhart]

This game is going strong. A2MT was a different game that was cancelled a while ago.

Ahh good okay >W<
E gag, I have been lied to one the internet, what are the odds.

"Depths of a Transcendental Dimension" cuts it down to 36. "Transcendental Dimension Depths" works, but doesn't sound quite as neat. "Depths of the Transcendental Plane" imparts a similar effect and tone to an outsider like me, but Frozelar (or even anyone who knows what he's talking about, unlike me) would have to confirm whether it's still accurate.

Also, I'd like to offer my services as a tester or anything, if you happen to need fresh blood for the home stretch of the project. I don't know if the project is at the sort place where that's helpful, but if so, hi.

[Frozelar]

How about "The Depths of a Canadian Resident" instead of "The Depths of the Transcendental Dimension"? Will that work? Or if that's still too long, maybe "The Depths of Canada". It kind of takes away the pun I was going for but if it works then go ahead with it. Or if someone has a better idea then go ahead with that too. Whatever works. Thanks!

Sorry I haven't been on much at all lately. And thank you to 8flight for directing me to this issue.

[SAJewers]

I just ended up getting rid of the two "the"s, so "Depths of Transcendental Dimension"

[Frozelar]

Ah all right, that works too, heh

[SAJewers]

Just a bit of an update, but I sent the OW back to sturg so he could finish World 5, as he received the final OW graphics from Feenicks. I've been going through it and checking for bugs, as well as fixing minor bugs/mistakes I come across in the levels.

Still waiting on the credits from Holy. (If you see him, ask him how he's doing)

[Holy]

Almost done. Just have to get the timing right and patch up the first half, which I ripped apart to make it easier to test things.

[PKBeloved]

I would still love to contribute to this in some way, so if you need any beta tester, send me a message :)

[Sturg]

So hey, OW is pretty much done. All we need to do is figure out that change with the missing World 1 level (plus that missing EOW scene I guess?), make sure everything in the OW/HUB works, and it'll be soon when we can have others to start testing!

[docopoper]

Yes, we definitely need to get some people mostly dissociated with the project to play through this. Conveniently Ditocoaf and PKBeloved seem to have already volunteered - so that's two at the very least.

Maybe we could get a forum Announcement put up for a while and make a push to get the rest of the Talkhaus involved in beta testing for a while once the OW is done.
