Q_res posted:Thank you for the feedback, genuinely. On the Koopa thing, do you think just moving the Koopas a column away (i.e. spread them farther apart) from the invisible blocks would help? I was kind of going for that wall telling you there had to be hidden blocks to get you up there and making the player hunt for them just a little bit. Honestly would put some space between the koopa and the blocks yeah. I bounced off the first red koopa and thought "oh I need to jump on this next one to get up this ledge" so that's what I wound up doing attempting. Created the first line of steps then went for another koopa bonk as I thought that was it and well, got hit a second time  . As for the Boom Boom moving too fast, may just want to create a situation where he can't block the hole. It's a dark level and the buzzy beetles being pitch black taught me that I want to move slowly, so entering a room and having to rush with no real warning isn't something I'm likely going to do.

Alright, here's my first course on Super Mario Maker 2. Bounce or Stroll: 99K-V41-PGG A vanilla Mario level where you can either take a high path and bounce on enemies to reach riches, or take the low path which is usually safer, but less rewarding. Difficulty was aimed to be generally easy to beat at least. Doing the high path may take more effort though.

This level is pretty simple honestly, but goodness it took a long time to build. I was tempted to make clear conditions to force people to explore and APPRECIATE MY ART but eh. I'm done counting pixels!!!!!!! Giant Jumble H2V - FXR - 1KG It's a Mario 3 Level where I created the same stage twice in perfect detail to get the illusion across  Lotta little secrets for coins that will probably never be cared about.

Doot Doot Doo, Chewin' Through the Spreadsheet (Submit) Cruise Through The Clouds WB3-R1V-LPF I died a couple times, but it always felt like it was my fault. A couple notes: What a magikoopa spawns from a block is random, so placing them close to other enemy spawns makes the difficulty vary wildly through playthroughs. Finishing with the "forced destruction" at the end is usually a bad idea, as if you were down to your last 1 or 2 blocks, it would feel really bad. You get a pass on it however as at that point you can just leap of faith to the end and win, but I'm wtching you. Going for a Run. W6K-7YJ-WDG Great signposting, keep up the good work. Double Discord at Dusk ~月下の迷惑倍加～ 87S-NWY-W4G I gave this a boo, as I assumed that was the attention you wanted :P (If you wanted to make a non-kaizo version of the concept, remember that in the no jump official courses, getting on and off the elevators is automatic.) Walking my Doggo Vo.oV ML1-KV3-XMG Nice little swimming "puzzle" level, the "goombas" are little akward for speedrunning, as by the time you see where they are going to jump, you are already on their dick. Spookhaus of Jump Scares YWT-DJY-3MG I did a spin jump on the first thwomp, expecting a prize. I received death, also the dry bones seemed to have troble getting pushed into the area by the spring. (I do not know if that was intentional.) Also, you "can" outrun the Bonzai Bill, I was only able to do it once, and it relys on how janky some of the "correctly jumped on the thing" hitboxes are. Deep Forest Deeps 5YS-J6S-TFF Course Deleted Abyssal Adventure 9HJ-VK3-41G Gotta love well executed High Concept levels. Thanks for the powerups and the reset door! The Chomp Pipes P9J-C0K-G3G Good stuff here, not much to really talk about, theres a "forced" hit.. right after a mushroom and a checkpoint, which is where you would want one. Twist and Shout P3M-NRR-7HG You are already aware that the twisters can mess with bounce hight, so all I can say is that I would have preferred if the chain chomp and spring challenges swapped places, as the chomp is the jankiest of all the jumps. Perilous Pyramid YRR-XL0-68G Cute level. Notes: On the upward part some of the saws peek into frame. The Magikoopa can destroy the place where the dry bones shells drop. On the Downward portion, the ending could use a bit more signposting, as I blindly fell into the last spikes, naving spend the last 10+ seconds blindly falling and landing on not spikes. Or you could just put a 50 coin down there as a reward for taking the hit or getting the shell all the way down.

Is there any way to check what difficulty your own levels end up being? As far as I can see it's only visible in Course Bot and only for others' downloaded levels - no where else in the UI.

TheAardvark posted:Is there any way to check what difficulty your own levels end up being? In your maker profile, if you look at uploaded courses, you can see the clear rate which will tell you what the difficulty is. BabyRyoga posted:It's less a where are they dying issue, and more a player doesn't understand what to do issue with that particular level i've gathered. You can only do so much to guide the player through and even the softest of softball levels are going to have some people just walking into things. You mentioned people dying a lot on your level and in my experience with MM1, about a 10-15% clear rate on a perfectly average level is normal. The Kins posted:[Going Galaxy WB1-251-XKF] Yay! Feedback! On the Mario Galaxy level, I didn't want to use coins to sign post since they don't get reflected when the orientation changes (collecting the only coins on the level in the wrong orientation is fatal) but I agree that as a puzzle-ish level it needed a bit more signalling. With some thought, I might have tried to use some kind of blinking light or trapped star to draw player's attention to the objects needed to continue. There's also two jumps I'm not happy with. Maybe I'll revise this one some time. This one doesn't has a clear rate of just over 3% and I try for more of the 5-10% range so it does need a little more (also, now that I'm thinking about it, I want a bit more reward on the planet at the end). For the classic style level, I had forgotten how to do progressive power ups so thanks, though in this case I'd probably leave it alone anyway since I was trying to reward players for completing a "stage" with the fire flower and helping them have another tool going forward. The spiney trap seems to be the toughest part of the level for players and the intention was to use the conveniently placed invincibility star that's exactly where it would be in SMB1 (and I even tried to guide players into hitting the brick by placing a coin right below it) or just rushing through. I tried to give players plenty of time to get through, though you can't control how players respond. Random Stranger fucked around with this message at 14:04 on Jun 30, 2019 |

BabyRyoga posted:It's less a where are they dying issue, and more a player doesn't understand what to do issue with that particular level i've gathered. Just gave it a shot and peaced out after a bunch of tries. Maybe I'm just Garbo at 2D world, but I just couldn't really register what was going on ever and the level didn't flow well enough to just kinda go with what ever the level gave you because of the piranha plant timings and lack of directionals. I felt that if I gave it as much time as a standard Kaizo level I'd be able to do it, but I'm really not that interested in 2D world mechanics to justify putting in the time to do it. edit: A way to improve it immediately is in that first section cut that beginning piranha plant cut off and in the second section with the pirahana plants, timing blocks, and spike blocks is to cut out like half of that mess or leave a coin trail or something.

Random Stranger posted:You didn't need the two boom-booms at the end when one had the key. In addition, just putting them in a box and having a key isn't an interesting way to handle them. Boss fights in Mario Maker levels get complicated because everyone has seen the enemy on their own (even in the case where the game only came out yesterday); some kind of spin on it has to be done to make the fight interesting. hey thanks for this! Everything after the key door I wasn't too happy with but I also understand making the red coin section contiguous so thanks for that! I spent the most time on the path of the shell and the platforming for 2 of the red coins and then the timer screamed out 15 minutes left and like a bad contestant on Chopped, I rushed the rest lmao

Flint_Paper posted:I had a go at making a level with ~secrets~. Also with the terrifying sun. Because it terrifies me. And I hate it. So I didn't find the fifth red coin on playing through, but I knew I missed something at the beginning so that worked out. However, for a level about finding the hidden treasure, you were pretty free with those giant coins at the end. Putting the best reward in the vault would entice people to find it. You do not need the goomba spam on the hills. It doesn't add anything to the level. Watch the area transitions. Going down the pipe suddenly dropped me into precision swimming which is a completely different challenge than what I was playing before. Letting the player have a safe area to adjust, then progress into the challenge is a good idea. You've got a lot of solid concepts here and it feels very close to a classic level, the biggest thing that needed improvement was the visual design of the level. It got busy in several places like the underwater section or the hills or some of the pipes where it took a few moments to sort out what I was looking at. Flyin Jim Elbows posted:How does it decide what difficulty a level is? Endless mode easy is waayy too easy, but endless mode normal is just ridiculous and I haven't been able to get through more than 3 stages. It's clear rate. I forget what the exact threshold is but it's based on that. You'll sometimes encounter "practice" levels that have been played by certain people over and over again to perfect tricks which gives the stage a very high clear rate despite it requiring effectively frame perfect movement.

So here's a fun thing: If you get to the point in uploading your course where you put the title in, if you accidentally backspace too much and hit back it doesn't go like "do you want to quit the course uploader?" or something. It just loving spits you right back out into the course editor. Nintendo. You have been a game company for ONE THOUSAND YEARS

Remember how in some Mario 3/World levels, even when you were flying up, the screen didn't move? Is there any way to replicate that? Getting the flute in Smb3 fortress is a prime example of this. Also, are those huge white blocks (SMB3 palette) in the game, that let you go behind the scenery?

Yeah, don't put anything above the horizontal screen divider and the screen won't follow Mario into the sky. The white blocks are there but trying to hold down will just make Mario do a little hop as if to say "I get what you wanted to do but we can't do that here". Of course someone's already figured out how to make that into a little Kaizo gimmick of its own.

Argue posted:Yeah, don't put anything above the horizontal screen divider and the screen won't follow Mario into the sky. Ah, ok, thanks, and that makes sense. Glad that functionality (the screen thing) is there. Also, here's a little secret idea I just had: hidden blocks that are floating in the second space above the ground, in an area where the player is likely going to be Super. They'd have to know to duck in order to hit the block. Obviously, you'd just want one or two, and not box the player in completely.
