Violen posted:drat, what a horrible time to post a 3D World level. I REALLY liked this stage. It's a very simple design that plays with the idea of the thwomps in a very interesting way (that I've seen attempted by others but never actually exploited fully) to get through a stage that felt tough but fair. I very clearly tell this stage was a pain to put together in a way that acted like you wanted it to, but at no point did it feel like it'd fall apart if I deviated from the script even a bit. One thing I will say is that you can exploit it in a way at the very end if you do screw up the cat pounce cancel via the retry room, but given you have to essentially play the entire stage to get there it hardly feels like breaking the stage at all. One my favorites so far.

Made a new course! Pillars of Doom VM2-45P-VVF  Some fairly challenging platforming more in the vein of the first level I made (which has proven to be my most popular by far).

Random Stranger posted:You've got a fine concept for a short stage, but the nature of your stage with its basically one square high path means that you've got more white space on the screen than I've ever seen in a level and it's all blank. This would have been a good opportunity to put little vignettes above the player like small "jail cells" and prisoners. You could have also used pipes instead of ground for a lot of the surfaces and it would have given it some thematic visual flare. Yeah this is pretty much how I feel about it too, but I was also mostly happy with the play of the level itself and since it was my first time creating a level (ever, since I never played SMM1) my mind was kind of fried from learning all the little quirks of the level creator. I almost wish I had come up with the concept after having a few courses under my belt and it woulda turned out better. But oh well.

The Lobster posted:Anywho, here's my Jam level: This level was my jam! Love the look and feel of the place, a nice comfy deep woods feel for sure.

And I enjoyed that secret at the end. ~Underwater SECRETS~ I can't think of any criticism of it other than maybe it was a tad short but that's kind of what happens when making a jam level I assume so no worries, well done.

OK, going to try to post my attempts at RAoM: Deserted Desert, by Mega64: Incredibly adorable level, loved the flying Bloopers. I had trouble with one of the jumps that required you to hit one of the flying Buzzy Beetles to get over a gap. I think I died like three or four times. That's on me. Ice Blitz: The Iceburg, by Pocky in my Pocket: I gave the one like ten tries but couldn't get past like the first screen.  Let's go skiing!, by Arctic Puma: How am I supposed to get past the first slope? Another one I had to give up on. Hot Winter Day, by Mega 64: Phew! This was just at the limit of my abilities. I enjoyed how the challenge wasn't impossible and kept me engaged and every time I made a mistake I could see how it was my fault and not because of some weird thing you had done. I definitely put more than ten tries into this one because I was jut so into it. Lastdancer posted:This level was my jam! Love the look and feel of the place, a nice comfy deep woods feel for sure.

And I enjoyed that secret at the end. ~Underwater SECRETS~ Thank you! Yeah it had to be short because the autoscroller is on the sublevel and sublevels are actually pretty small, unfortunately. But I think it works out also because there are no checkpoints in objective based levels so you don't want them to go on for too long.

Sam Faust posted:Here's another level for the pile. Fair warning though, its a long one and also, boss fights. Long stage but I like the setups that are present. I particularly like the idea of allowing you choose which challenge you wanted first, awarding you a fire flower and giving you some help with the next one. The last gauntlet was a lot of fun as well, although I felt the very end was a little tedious having the dig through the ground with the bomb ombs. I still think it's very well done overall.

I would love any playtesters for a medium-hard, kinda goofy level. Chomps 'n'at  SSR-91Y-00G I promise it's not quite as crazy as the screenshot makes it look throughout. I'm trying to limit my initial level designs to a few elements max. This has Chomps, Shoes, and more Chomps. I think it's tougher than the general SMM population would be able to handle, but it shouldn't be too bad for people itt. There are even two (!) checkpoints. I might try to go back and edit in some sound effects and more coins, etc. at some point, but for now the level plays the way I want it to. Time for some RAoM.

I know they are kinda hated, but I made an autoscroller, and it’s an underwater level. The worst combination, right? Beating the level isn’t too hard, but maybe one of you would be up for the extra challenge of seeking out the red coins.  edit: I just noticed all my image icons were annoyingly GIGANTIC, and I replaced this one.

I thought I’d experiment by copying the first stage of Flashback: The Quest for Identity and changing nothing about the enemy placement. It turns out that makes it insanely easy because Mario is about 1000 times more mobile than Conrad Hart, bless his soul! I also had to cut a few screens due to size. Man, it’d be cool to be able to make levels that are both horizontal and vertical at once! Anyway, I think I did a really nice job aesthetically, it looks as close to Flashback as Super Mario World can hope to, so give it a try for that alone! OR give it a try because you’re feeling generous and want to help me get it into the Endless Easy pool to see if it can swim. Flashback: Quest for Identity SL4-9CS-FXF

I made a fairly canon SMB3 desert level with a few secrets. Dunes of Doom 25F-LC2-7YF Discover the treasures of the pyramids in the dunes, can you find it all? There are 3 big coins hidden throughout the level and it has a few nods to my pain levels but I don't consider this one difficult at all.

Went through and got the WR in some Random Acts courses. #421 - Purple Pipes in the Dusty Dunes: Cool, straightforward course that looked nice. Rare interesting use of invisible blocks, like Mario 3. #532 - A Crisp Mole Hole: OK blitz course. Bowser Jr. is not a mole #394 - Fire Swamp: Fun to play, which is the most important thing in my book. Gave me a few ideas for my own courses. #645 - RACE: Alpine Pipeline: Really fun course with tons of routes to take and no catch-up mechanics like locked doors. It's intended as a MP course and it definitely would be an enjoyable one. #296 - The Treasure of Toggle Tower: My favorite of the bunch, and the one I spent the longest time trying to nail a good time on. Great theme with a difficulty curve that ramps up nicely. There's still plenty of time to save, so I'll definitely be coming back to this one.

Revised my goomba level, took out some slower sections like the goomba escorts and ramped up the jump difficulty a little earlier. It feels like a tighter course overall JBJ QLG HWG

The danger with any level that scrolls vertically and horizontally is that you'll end up with a lot of inadvertent blind jumps so make sure these are labelled if you want them to be. I would play through forward and backwards to see where such jumps turn up.

Whenever I go into "normal" I get invisible blocks over pits, or jumping across single spread-out note platforms over pits, or claws over pits, or a single-jump level where your trajectory has to go perfectly between saws.

A few randomiser levels: #8: Chain Chomp Factory - BG3-BX8-RDG I really enjoyed this, a cool theme executed really well and a fair challenge to race through! #571: Mario Ragnarok - DNV-0G7-5NG I couldn’t find this one Puzzle Forest - 9C2-QNG-RFG this one took me a few tries and honestly I found the very beginning more aggravating than anything, but once I got beyond that there’s some good stuff here Cactrot posted:Okay, no more Thwomp levels, starting now. Phew! This one took me a few goes so RIP your clear rate! When I was able to get a good line going and sail through the blocks it was immensely satisfying but I did nearly give up at one point after taking the pow block all the way though the horizontal twomps I got hit with an off screen vertical one while swimming up to the next section and that felt a little cheap honestly but otherwise enjoyable despite me being awful at mario in general and underwater levels in specific!

Yeah there needs to be a threshold. Having outfits for the person in first second and third in a category is loving stupid. Like, it needs to be at a top % you get a medal, that kind of thing. As is it's just going to be twitch streamers and the guys who are already at the top getting it over and over again.

Here's my first crack at a level. It's mostly me playing around with a few concepts I haven't personally seen yet and exploiting some of the weird physics interactions. I mostly wanted to try to get some random behavior going in the level and I think it panned out well. There's some Kaizo-lite traps, but nothing that you aren't warned about earlier in the level. "Fun" boss fight at the end depending on who you ask. Oh, it's also ugly as sin! Sorry about that! Grand Theft Clowncar BW6-B30-3HF

I had a free minute, so I played a bunch of the levels that showed up on this page. Thwomp-assisted Romp - I like the concept but the cat suit section was too tight on the execution for me to finish. Pillars of Doom - Yep, that was hard! The good kind, though, the kind that makes you nervous to try the next jump and then feel rad when you make it. Chomps ‘n’at - Nah, that was just as nuts as the screenshot suggests. I almost didn’t get past that second Chomp in the claw but managed to finish despite how tricky it was to keep my shoes on. Juicy Rad - This was a great autoscroller because it was wide open enough to feel like you could still do things. Really fun. Flashback: Quest for Identity - I love the concept, but the details in the design are what really sold me. Just a great-looking level to play through. Dunes of Doom - Don’t put blind Thwomps in your level, and definitely don’t put them right at the start. Burning Mario - Holy poo poo I can’t imagine a more perfect expression of the concept, and it made for a super rad level of chaos as well. Descent into the Thwomp cistern - Yeah I beat it, and I enjoyed it, and the only reason your blind Thwomps didn’t completely piss me off is that the water slowed them down. There’s so many drat levels out there that I’ve started following any maker whose style I like, which has made my Followed tab a really promising custom playlist of goon levels.

Hey, if you set up one of those shell operated switches at the bottom of a vertically oriented subarea, will it stay loaded in the entire time you climb up it if you don't enter any doors? EDIT: Some limited testing says that it deloads real quickly
