Hey all,

I've created a couple levels using Treeki's NSMB editor and I'd like to share them.
You can download the rom pack at: http://www.develteam.com/Garmichael/downloads/Garmichael_rompack_1-1_1-2.zip

I also have some youtube clips up of each level, but they contain spoilers and secrets, so if you're the type to explore you shouldn't watch them right away. I'm curious what you think, and if you aren't given the walkthrough, your feedback will be more appropriate.

EDIT: See post below for the clips...

Level 1 isn't too tough and is meant to be in World 1 somewhere, whereas Level 2 is meant for later in the game since its quite a bit tougher.

Level 1 should be imported into World 1-1, and Level 2 should be imported into World 1-2.


Thanks!

I like the level designs there. They're reminiscent of the usual world 1 levels you see in most Mario games.

What did you use to record the videos? It looks like you used Camtasia, but it seems as if you recorded the sound through the microphone. Why not try to record using the stereo mix feature in sound control?

(Also, you should use VGA poppy bright with no$gba. It looks 10x better. )

Two decent custom levels for NSMB - are pigs flying? Most of the levels I see are pretty terrible.

These are quite nice, but a few of the deathtraps bug me (like the area where you must jump through a 3-tile-wide space with a Buzzy Beetle). You should make more.

I use Snag-it 8 to record my videos. I did record through my mic without realizing it (you can hear my 'phew' at the end of level 2, and the clickityclack of my analog stick). Next time, I'll record through my stereo out. That VGA Poppy Bright DOES look WAAAYYYY better, thanks! Do you have any tips on making the sound less staticy?


Thanks for the feedback on the levels.. I've widened those beetle gaps Treeki mentioned. I'm sketching out some ideas for a couple more levels, but they'll take some time.

hey ^^ nice job! I'm also working on a hack myself. A big idea I had (it can be used in a ton of ways) is when you make many possibilities, but only one correct solution. For example, a warp to another area using a vine. You'd set the warp to be 1 space wide, and set it atop one vine out of many. There could be like 7 vines, but only one has the proper warp. Also, you can make more sadistic levels by making areas link back to the beginning of the first area in a world. For example, in area 2 of a world, there's a star coin, however, the only way out is a pipe that leads to the beginning. These are just a few vague tactics to help you out ^___^

Got a new level up... Its an easier level, I think, and it's not too extravagant. Actually, I feel its rather bleh but it has some merits.

I'll post a youtube clip of it after I make one. I want to remake the clips to my other two levels, now that I know how to make them not look and sound junky.

EDIT: I retook the clips of each level with Shantae and Purp's advice.

That was an entirely useless post.

Try adding a little more content, like constructive criticism, or why the levels are so "Awsome".
