1V4-DPR-WFG Wallys Jungle Gym a SMW forest level with a climbing theme, lots of ups and downs and some secrets. one thing I really like about the forest theme is the water is really forgiving for crazy jump setups, since you can put a reset door down there and not have it be insta death.

DalaranJ posted:I finally finished my Jam level. It's a remake of a level I made for Super Mario Maker. It's not as easy as my other levels. I gave this level a shot - I really wanted to complete it, but I got "pinched" by the janky-ships too many times and I wanna go to bed. I'll probably give it another shot in the AM when I'm fresher. The theming and design seems pretty air-tight to me, I think the problems are more a victim of the general "Mario-Maker-weirdness" than anything else. Nice work!

Oh yeah, forgot to post this level I finished. Hellfire Honeycombs: 5J6-LGK-PQF     Bowser's castle has long been abandoned, but some busy bees have taken up residence and made it into one hot hive. Can you survive the swarm of bees flying across the blistering river of spicy honey? Had some fun with red POW blocks designing this stage to make some neat little traps. Tried to simulate the feeling of 'stirring the hornet's nest' and having bees pop up suddenly and angrily.

I understand where the pinch points are but there's no way remove them without diluting the 'joke' of the level, so I'm not going to do it. The safest places to stand are on the two parts that are two blocks tall.

Argue posted:Thanks for the feedback; do you mean that the part with the thwomp itself is what kills you? That's a bit disappointing for me to hear since I didn't even intend for that to be a challenge; the only reason the thwomp and muncher were there at all was to prevent you from going through too early or too late and causing the two snake blocks to be out of sync. I didn't expect it to be a bottleneck in the level. Yes, that exact spot. I finally did figure out you're supposed to jump on the end of the snake block as it's moving upward at a certain point to avoid getting hit by the fireballs, but it's really unclear, and the timing is really tight too. There's a lot to process at that part, and keep in mind for someone who hasn't played the level it's not clear why the thwomp is there, what will make it go away, and when it will go away. It's a whole lot of "guess what the level designer had in mind," and the snake block, being a moving platform on a track only the designer can see, is already this irrespective of any other factors. Also, sorry for getting a bit cranky with you in my criticism. I kinda picked your level without reading the title or looking closely at the screenshot, and I have it out for snake block levels in general—I don't even like the official ones from Super Mario World, and I dunno if I'll ever play a level that changes my mind about them.

I thought it was good! There was one part toward the end where I brought a POW block into a short vertical room where you're supposed to ground pound some other POW blocks and poo poo got weird and basically I couldn't get out, but overall I thought it was really creative and not frustrating at all.

Yeah apparently multiple people died there, even though its just supposed to be a fun little exit room. I was hoping looking at failure points would ellucidate me as to why so many people failed but.... there are barely any Xs. Its like someone kept starting and quitting on the level and tanked the rate because of that. But that doesn't explain to me why other people boo'd it. Maybe I'll edit the last room and reupload it... but I have no clue what else to even edit. My brother play tested it and didn't have any issues, and none of the parts screamed" super hard to me. Its frustrating. Internet Kraken fucked around with this message at 06:51 on Jul 15, 2019 |

Obviously doesn't work if you have courses getting played a ton but for someone like me who only gets a few plays a day, its very noticeable.

 Title: Forest of Fury Code: M3Q-FHC-0GG Description: Can you defeat all the baddies in the Forest of Fury? Basically my take on a simple boss rush. My first 3D World level. Difficulty: Very Easy Feedback appreciated!

Played some goon levels to get my mind off my failures Pipes and Pyramids: Decent traditional level but really short. Hard to critique it due to that. It doesn't do anything wrong but its not amazing either. Switch Ditch: Good demonstration of basic switch block stuff. Most switch block levels are really drat annoying too me but this was fine and relaxing. Basic Beach: Ya know I'd been wondering how to make a level look like a beach and this is probably as close as you can get. Simple level, but that is what it aims to be. Length felt just fine for that. Jump Plumber: I literally can't make the first difficult jump and have no clue how you'd do it. Life simulator: I didn't understand this level at all and there was an impenetrable wall of spinies so what the hell. In Da Club: Loud, confusing, and it gave me a headache. Overall, you perfectly simulated the nightclub experience. Good work.

I'll give that level a shot when I'm more awake too, why the heck not. Though that said gonna go ahead and plonk this down. Been working on making an entire Metroid-ish adventure for you guys over the past couple days!!  A old concept I wanted to try again where you have to get powers to progress through a hostile planetoid, do some minor backtracking here and there and find a way off a dangerous planet!! It even includes a (very) brief escape sequence!! Get suited up and get out of there! If you find any sequence breaks that I overlooked uh... we'll just pretend it was intended

Kind of concerned that the heart on random acts of Mario is going to create the same problem that the built in level browser has - levels with the most hearts get the most plays which gets them more hearts which gets them more plays and so on. I like that (I assume) it's truly random at this point, every level has an equal chance of being played so good older levels don't completely dominate. Edit: if there's any algorithm fuckery going on I think it'd be wise to make it skew towards newer levels. internet celebrity fucked around with this message at 13:38 on Jul 15, 2019 |

When is the cutoff for the jams anyway? I submitted my entry like midnight Saturday because the submission link was still up, but I get the idea the event was already over. I take way too long to put courses together.

I like that (I assume) it's truly random at this point, every level has an equal chance of being played so good older levels don't completely dominate. I agree with you, in fact I almost added a "five star" ranking instead of the heart because a binary choice is not that helpful when we can't see how many people have played the level. For now the amount of likes is not visible and don't affect anything. I don't agree with making the randomizer skew towards the newer levels though, mainly because those are the ones that get played the most by the people that follow the thread.
