The Lobster posted:Any reason I'm not getting feedback on any of my courses here? Aside from the fact that I post mainly on the Discord instead? Airship Panic MX8-NYN-R5G Make sure you are aware of every position the camera can be, I didn't see that I was supposed to jump over a post until the camera went down (first ship after inside part.) Was also able to skip the inside part. Lakeside Frenzy P52-KDB-YJG Putting enemies in ? boxes is usually bad move, but level was short enough that I'll allow it! Golden Ghosts 7NT-TFR-GDF Possible to softlock yourself if you don't get enough of the fire flower coins, and the thwomp seems to be a forced hit if you don't wait. Mario Classic MJ2-GG8-LYG 1-3 Level of difficulty, has no problems. Tiny Trouble 9CB-4RH-X1H Warioware level is fine. It was an enjoyable 3 seconds. Jungle Jinks 5YG-FPM-PMF You do a good job of using coins to guide the player, would have liked to be able to jump to the top of the flagpole. Also the extreme number of scene transitions was jarring.

Why are there no vines in the 3D World set? It's easily my favorite now cause it looks great visually and provides this really nice 2.5D look that NSMB doesn't, but there's basically nothing to really decorate stages with. It's kind of a bummer. There really needs to be more background/foreground cosmetic things to liven up the levels in the 3D World set

AlBorlantern Corps posted:Actually if you have nothing above the screen line you can block horizontally with a vertical line just going to the top of the bottom screen, not all the way up. I'm designing a SMB level right now that is working that way. Huh. Did not work for me when I tested it. Probably had something off.

I just mapped out another Zelda Level which should be really good I should finish today or tomorrow. This new once I'm keeping the basic layout of the original but dropping the conceit of duplicating the top down placements. It's going to be what the dungeon would look like if it were a side scroller.

Araxxor posted:#237 Mario in a half shell Ah, I was afraid of this Every single section for me just works every time, but that's because I've played them in the editor a bunch of times until I got the timing down, which is not going to be the experience of people playing the level. With the sawblade door, you take a running start then press down to slide onto the door while collapsed. If you hold up while you're collapsed and over the door, you will always enter it on the first frame, keeping your shell. I just wanted to show off a neat mechanic with the shell, did not mean for it to be difficult at all! It's hard to tell what people playing your level are going to have trouble with, especially when experimenting with mechanics people aren't used to yet. Now that I got this gimmick out of my system, I think I'm going to try making a more traditional platforming level that's actually fun to play!

They really need to make "complete course without doing X" courses instantly kill you if you do X, since there's no going back from that point. It's a waste of time to have to manually restart the level when there's no other possible option to win other than restarting the level.

GreatGreen posted:They really need to make "complete course without doing X" courses instantly kill you if you do X, since there's no going back from that point. Not necessarily. For example if you have to not land after leaving the ground, but accidentally do. You could scout out the rest of the level and check out what the other challenges will be so you can be prepared before restarting

You kids with your Super Mario Maker. Back in my day we had to make do with this: Regular Mario Maker Course ID: H6D-KNX-5YF Difficulty: Expert Multiplayer Friendly?: Yes This is a remake of a popular level I made during the first week of MM1. I take the basic Mario Bros. layout but each room has a different challenge. This one is a bit different from the original version as I removed two rooms that weren't great and replaced them with rooms that use new MM2 elements. Scroll stop also makes it play a bit better. I tagged it as Multi-player Vs. as there's a lot of opportunities to duck over people you're playing with, although it probably works best on a single screen.

Not to jinx it, but has anyone else noticed a lack of autoplay levels? Do they just take long enough to put together that they haven't flooded easy mode yet, or are they playing with new filters for the challenge modes? I'd say any levels completed with zero input from the player probably should be removed from challenge mode and I bet they have the data to make that call.

Lugaloco posted:How do you ensure your screen doesn't "float" upwards/downwards in a one screen room? I know that to block the camera from moving horizontally you just need a solid line of ground blocks from top to bottom, but what about vertical camera movement?

I haven't run into any but I've mostly been doing goon levels. Maybe they're harder to do now that you can't stick something on the starting location.

God I wish you could turn that poo poo off. I love the airship tile set but the drifting camera makes me never want to play those.

I feel the same way about some stuff like that too. The fact that every single night theme fundamentally alters some core part of the game is pretty awful to me, especially because the night themes are so visually compelling. They really should only utilize those extra effects if you choose to put a moon in the level.

Random Stranger posted:Nice challenge. It's in a weird place where it's just a little too long to not have a checkpoint but placing one would make the checkpoint half super short. Some of the enemies coming out of the pipes had to be manipulated to make the jumps simpler, too. Thanks for the feedback. I learned a lot from this one. I don't think I want to ever enforce this level of precision in the critical path of a stage again, at least not as the main gimmick. It was hard for a lot of players, kind of janky, and honestly not all that fun to test and revise. I'm pretty happy with it as my first course though. I have so many fun ideas for courses, and I'd love to work on the jam, but I have a friend staying at my place all week and I don't think I'll have any time to play for a while. Please still be making and playing levels later this month, folks!!

Or an upside-down airship level?

Hyper Crab Tank posted:They should make it orthogonal. Why can't I have a desert level with rising poison? Or an upside-down airship level? Ideally the special effects would be things you could just add to courses. My Mario Galaxy course would be better visually if I could do it on an airship level but it has to be on an underground stage. That's the biggest problem with the Mario Maker games, because we're making the game to some extent we can also see tons of things that we'd want a slight improvement on. On the up side, Nintendo patched in additional features for MM1 so we'll definitely get something like that with MM2. Macaluso posted:I also wish you could make vertical sub areas go down as well as up. You can, though. The autoscrolling has two arrow next to it which determining if it goes up or down. Feel free to make your Battletoads rat race tribute level.

Okay tried a new one with some of the criticisms in the thread Blocking out the Underground 7DW-24C-TQG Still just making pretty standard courses but honestly I'm still feeling out how to add challenge without it being cheap, so I feel like this one's a little on the easy side still, comments and criticism greatly appreciated.

Hyper Crab Tank posted:They should make it orthogonal. Why can't I have a desert level with rising poison? Or an upside-down airship level? What do you mean by orthogonal? It already works on a grid with 90 degree angles. I agree though, I wish you could do any combination of anything, and not have it depend on the theme. There will be updates, but I don't think Nintendo will realistically give us this in SMM2.

Wanted to make a level where you go fast in the dark. It's a little difficult, and not terribly interesting, but I spent a few hours on it and its as done as its gonna be. Son of Backdraft - 11C-08H-8LF

I played some Random Acts of Mario Levels. #184 Bowser's Boss Bash - That slide after Clown Car Bowser made me quit and not bother replaying. It was fine up to that point, if a bit slow in between bosses. #79 DOOMSHIP - A perfectly serviceable level, although the choice of enemies felt a bit arbitrary at times and I'm not sure what the deal was with the giant Bowser at the end. I just tanked through it and was deposited at the end. #24 SMB3: fast, chill winter secrets - It was certainly fast. #43 Babby's First Athletic - This level reminded me that unlike in SMW, buzzsaws can't be spunjope in Mario Maker. I died in embarrassing ways, but I enjoyed it.
