Originally posted by Raspberry I noticed cutoff when I was a kid, but didn't think much of it. Then again, I played way too many video games for my own good and over analyzed EVERYTHING. It should be on the "won't fix" list if it's so low on the priority list that the developers can't get to it on time before the final build date. It happens all the time in video games. Hell, maybe the developers themselves didn't even notice it which would be understandable. I know It's impossible to fix every single error in a game to make the "perfect game". You're always going to miss something, hell 100 beta testers may all miss something. I'm just saying, if you know that the minor error exists and have time, why not fix it? If you only think two people will see it, still fix it. Then you'll have two less people noticing a flaw in the game. Maybe I'm a perfectionist, but whatever. That's just how I treat my projects. |

| Good news! The admin of Doperoms finally just got back to me and he removed both of my hacks from his website and apologized to me. He's alright in my book now. |

Originally posted by paulguy Like I said, the cutoff in SMW is excusable due to memory limitations, deadlines, and priorities. There's no argument there. Anyway here's the first part of my level redone. Once again, lemme know what you think. Positives and negatives. tinyshit/1j126x.png |

| So here's my silly level. I slack off at the second half due to time. Glad I got it done though. It's probably not the best, but this was my first serious attempt at a Super Mario World level! http://www.sendspace.com/file/ir8a6t |

| Natural selection these days is working the polar opposite of what nature intended. |

Originally posted by Eppy37 Watched my section of the video. Here's my thoughts on your thoughts. - Yeah the beginning might have a few too many sprites, but I wanted something that would keep the player constantly alert. Normal difficulty Mario hacks bore me, but at the same time I think what I did was close to reasonable for moderate difficulty. - Midpoint is close to the end because I didn't have much time to finish the second half of the level so I had to cut it short. - That jump IMO is not that hard. I designed it so you would be faked out by that swooper (which worked), but for the most part it's harmless. Just jump when the Piranha plant is not there and the two spike turtles aren't on the top of the other ledge and you'll make it every time. Plus, there's a shortcut over that part that you missed if its too hard for you. You shouldn't have played through the level with a linear part of view, there's way around a few of the difficult parts that you didn't even look for. Ironically, I looked a few other levels you played, and I liked the levels that you gave thumbs down, and visa versa. All of the levels I disliked (five of them) you gave thumbs up. Sure they might be hard, but I believe they put a hell of a lot more thought into level design and whatnot than the levels you gave thumbs up to. The Dinosaur level was one of my favorites, but I also liked Swooper which you liked too. Part of me feels that the sole reason you gave these levels a thumbs down was because they were hard. I'm not saying that's true, I just somewhat got that impression when watching your video. To each his own, we like different kinds of levels. Originally posted by AxemJinx - Yeah, you're given the choice, and I think it's a decent reward since you are not given another power up until after the midpoint. It might be helpful if you entered the level as small Mario, but you can just ignore it if you're already big and get a fire flower from that block. From what I saw, if you keep dying in the ice cave, you'll keep entering the level as Small Mario. The player would eventually notice the clouds and then the fire flower and see that if they do a little something extra they can make the preceding part easier (especially with the chuck). It also encourages people to actually explore through my level and not just take a linear path from start to end. That was just my point of view, but I understand yours too. - I think the time limit is decent enough. It's a medium sized level. But I can see how that can be a problem for people who aren't that good at playing SMW. I should have added 50 seconds or so. - Some were fake out, some went in a direction that you wouldn't assume that they would go into. In retrospect, some of those were a bad idea. Thank you both for the feedback. |

| Well this was a fun little contest. I do agree with the good points and bad points about my level and I'm glad you understand why all of those edges exist in an ice level. 75% (79% if graded on a curve) isn't bad at all for a first serious attempt at a SMW level. If you're going to put them all together in A ROM hack, can I submit an updated IPS? I fixed a few issues already, thanks. |

| I'm hoping we can get an early version of this program out by the summer. At the moment we're working out glitches in the program and parsing object IDs. We're also going to try to have it apply a patch to support bigger levels using the N64 Expansion Pack. You'll be able to import your levels with obj files and be able to place objects such as notes, jiggies, warps and enemies wherever you want (that was in the original game) in the level. I'm hoping we can have scripting support in a future version so people could customize their own events and whatnot. We might have to make our own custom script engine since BK just uses ASM which may be too difficult for some people. Animation importing for objects are going to be a bit tricky too, I'm not sure how the N64 exactly handles the bones. |

| The first version of the program is now in the beta phase. We're hoping to get the first version released as soon as possible. Check out this video and let me know what you think of the interface and the features, both positives and negatives. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HRGhbyk0y0 |
