So is there no web interface to add course to a queue like in the old game with the bookmark site? Also, how can I add courses from the single player story mode to course bot so I can play them in multiplayer with my daughter?

Best bet is to grab some lighter goon levels and play through those. Also I think a streamer just found one of my levels as I suddenly got like 40+ hearts on a course I made and a ton of playthroughs

Does anyone know if Charvargh's placement matters at all aside from the initial fall? He always seems to act exactly the same regardless of where you place em.

Quick question is there a way to update a level that has already been uploaded or am I going to have to upload the updated level again as a new level?

That's fair, I see some people decorate levels with tracks to act as rails or whatnot so that was all I was going for there . If you just run and jump you make it every time.

Internet Kraken posted:Does anyone know if Charvargh's placement matters at all aside from the initial fall? He always seems to act exactly the same regardless of where you place em. It seems like as long as you've passed the screen horizontally where they're placed, they'll just activate and follow you automatically regardless of how you place them (and even maybe teleport a bit when they're not on screen to keep up with you?). Probably why they only allow 3 on a stage since they don't seem to despawn unless you go through a door or a pipe or something. It also doesn't matter where you place them relative to the lava. I made the lava in my first stage go all the way to the top half of the screen and just built the level at that point so that I could place them all the way at the bottom and hide them spawning in from dropping.

Overhauled a bunch of my stage today because inspiration struck. I'm about 75% of the way through the updated version and am REALLY excited about how it's coming together  I've found some really neat uses for the snake blocks I hadn't seen before...Hopefully should be able to put the finishing touches on tomorrow and get it uploaded!

A nice atmospheric course. Some of the jumps at the beginning felt a bit too tight, but I liked it overall.

I'm starting to realize I can't make levels interesting when they aren't moderately challenging. How I add interest to my levels is always to just put in a tricky situation. Which is fine if that's what you're looking for, but most people suck at this game so it makes my levels inaccessible. If I try and make an intentionally easy one its either dull or I muck it up adding "a little bit of challenge".

Tried to make a tank level a la world 8-1 from SMB3 and that didn’t really work so then I just made an airship stage with swinging claws. https://twitter.com/pkfortis/status/1146264881227870208

As long as you do your best, the relative quality of levels out there improves. I went on reddit and everything was poo poo.

But I need likes to feel validated about spending hours on this  Really, I'm always gonna make harder levels, but I think learning how to make an easy but interesting level is a valuable skill. I just don't really 'get it'. I've tried doing things that feel hard but aren't difficult to actually execute, but the problem with that is people will always gently caress it up in ways you never imagined. Then it becomes an actual, difficult obstacle in what's supposed to be an easy level.

Playing some Random Acts of Mario: Mr Thwomp's Wild Ride K59-NXL-TSG Riding thwomps to the goal. Hard but fun. Probably easier once you're used to the 3d world physics. The speedup in the second half threw me off, I'm not sure if there's a better way to telegraph that to the player. Maybe a really short ride on a thwomp with no obstacles to show you the speed first? Ice Maker Y3W-7JL-QWF Short Kaizo with ice blocks. The first jump is by far the hardest part of the level - I cleared the rest of the course without dying once I made it past. The rest is pretty fun though, I'd have enjoyed more like that. Castle Siege 9C6-29X-DLF Shmup followed by short castle. I'm not a huge fan of shmups myself, but that's just personal preference. It did seem like most of the shmup area was kind of pointless though, there's a lot of space but not much reason not to just fly underneath everything. The bosses could use music but otherwise I thought the castle area was good. Eviction Notice YH9-R8W-GYG Ghost house with squids. The biggest issue is that there's a couple spots where you have to break bricks to proceed, and it looks like you can softlock if you get hit before then. Granted there are normally mushrooms right before, but with the squids flying around you can't guarantee an area is safe, so I think it'd be better to avoid the mandatory block breaking altogether and limit those to optional rewards. You can also skip most of the level by jumping off the first coin block inside the house, not sure if that's intentional. Aside from that, the level looked good and was pretty fun to play through.

And really, likes don't matter at all since your upload limit isn't tied to it anymore. Mario Maker 1 wired me into fixating on them way too much since I was sharing my profile with my little brother and we had very limited level space due to that.

I can't wrap my head around that level of aesthetic design and always wind up with very square, flat and stale designs. I also have trouble making a level that feels like more than a mechanics showcase that transitions from set piece to set piece. I know my opinion doesn't mean anything particularly, but I enjoyed your rotten mushroom level and I'm sure I remember enjoying your levels in the original as well. Keep doin' what you do.

 Originally just had an idea of doing a space schmup style level like Gradius or R--Type and then got distracted building the space ship and putting in secret rooms with added lore. If you like to explore and find secrets there's plenty of that.

Am I alone in thinking there should be a lava speed between low and medium? Low speed is hard to detect movement in and would only be threatening if you used it in a puzzle room, which would be annoying. Medium feels like it doesn't give enough time to register that poo poo is about to get real. I'm using the low speed in a level to build some tension, but it doesn't seem all that effective.

I can't wrap my head around that level of aesthetic design and always wind up with very square, flat and stale designs. I also have trouble making a level that feels like more than a mechanics showcase that transitions from set piece to set piece. Thanks. As an artist, personal anecdotes like this actually mean way more to me than tons of likes or whatever. I know from experience that a huge number of likes becomes numb after a long time, but someone personally commenting to say they enjoy the stuff you make never stops feeling good. That's why whenever I really enjoy a piece of art (or level in this case) I leave a comment. Aesthetic design is actually something I do think I'm good at in this game (not that you have a ton to work with). Slopes are huge boon in that regard; they look soooooo much better than blocks when you're trying to make a hill, and generally a passage with curves will look more appealing than a plain old box. Thwey're bit clunky too use but once you get the hang of em you'll always wanna use em. Plus they're not just for looks since everyone loves sliding into stuff! someone awful. posted:I think it's cool to see people working on similar levels and see what they/we all do differently with it, personally. Yeah that's my favorite part of contests and such; seeing people's take on one idea or theme.
