I liked this one though. You could have been a dick about getting and regetting powerrups but you weren’t. The areas flowed well and had the right type and number of enemies too.

Its just supposed to be another "oh poo poo" moment, but not actually dangerous since all you have to do is go right down the pipe to survive. Problem is, I positioned the POW block and the warp block in such a way that you are likely to accidentally pick up the POW block while running into the warp block. then you drop the POW block when you warp, which triggers the bees, turning it from a "haha scary bees  " moment into "oh I'm loving dead". One of those little things you wish you could edit without having to delete a whole course.

 Storming Treasury Tower The Koopas are keeping their stolen gold at the top of the tower. Steal it back, Mario! ----------------------------------- I've worked on this one for the past few nights, and I kind of liked working vertically instead of the traditional horizontal. It forced me to pay attention to where players could fall, and when things load up in game. Like my first level, STT has lots of coins and secrets, though none are required this time. The main danger comes from how "busy" the level is with its hazards, and I'm unsure how I feel about how that aspect of it came out. Let me know what you goons think. Pay attention to side areas, because that's where all but one of the shortcuts/OP powerups are.

Sawmill Creek Koopa Infestation This is my first ever attempt at a stage. I think it’s a bit clunky and doesn’t have a strong sense of style but I spent most of the time just figuring out the physics and puzzles to get a feel for how to make stuff. I basically just improvised as I went along left to right. My next one will be better planned but feel free to give it a shot if you want!

Raging Railroad 31W N4J 9KF Train level inspired heavily by the train in Little Nemo's Adventures on the NES, and also general action movie cliches about fighting bad dudes on top of a train. Shouldn't be too incredibly difficult I think.

Colonel Whitey posted:Sawmill Creek Koopa Infestation I, uh... Sorry about your clear rate.  I liked this course. It had the feel of one of those games where you have to keep a stick from touching parallel rails in spots and some interesting puzzles, but one thing to note: In the section with the claws and beyond you used a bridge as a roof, which means you can hit the gap and slide in by the claws, bypassing the on/off gate. Not a big deal by any means, probably a good world record strategy for the course. It also means you can accidentally get bumped out above and have to take the long way back.

Colonel Whitey posted:Sawmill Creek Koopa Infestation Played through this one and had a good, if frustrating time. I never had a SNES when I was a kid so I didn’t know how the clown car worked, but I eventually figured it out. I liked your puzzles and use of tracks and such. It’s super easy to lose your clown car by hitting a switch too early or accidentally jumping. I also met with some frustration by accidentally hitting my head on the underwater victory lap and getting catapulted into the abyss and again by a random saw blade. I like frustrating and interesting Mario stuff, and I liked the level as a whole. I’m just not sure how much of the difficulty was caused by me being unfamiliar with my mode of transportation.

Freight Elevator M13-L84-MYG my last level was a factory in the clouds, so how do they get all that stuff back down again?? by using the goomba freight elevator, of course! this one is mostly a vertical elevator section with a small detour. should be moderate in difficulty.     also, here is my previous level which i'm still pretty pleased with.

Lol, thanks for playing. Admittedly I rushed the victory lap portion of the level so I believe you when you say there’s random stuff down there that might accidentally kill you. But hey that’s a-Mario! E: as far as controlling the clown car, I use the d pad when controlling Mario but switch to the analog stick for the clown car, I feel like I have more precise control but ymmv.

Here's my fourth level! Trouble on Highfrost Mountain (5SV-QL4-5BG) Magikoopas have taken over Highfrost Mountain. Reach the summit and reclaim it. But beware of heights, and don't lose your footing!  I finally made a level without a boss fight, but I think the end is still satisfying. This is supposed to be medium difficulty, but I could be way off. I'd love to hear some feedback. I would especially like to know if anything seems unfair or too challenging/easy. Now to look through some of these levels you all posted! Edit: Fixed something in the level, updated code. DorianGravy fucked around with this message at 16:56 on Jul 16, 2019 |

Is there anyway to set up a note block so it stays globally loaded? Trying to use a noise as a sound indicator for an ON/OFF mechanism but while I keep the contraption loaded I can't figure out a way to make a note block stay loaded.

Icicles are global ground so you could place it ontop of one. Dunno what would hit it off screen though (assuming that's what you're going for)

The idea I wanted to do was make a tribute level to Tick Tock Clock. Cycling ON/OFF would play a large roll in the stage, as its the cloest approximation of the gears of the clock turning I can think of. I know how to set up a global ON/OFF switch now, but wanted a sound queue to trigger before the switch would be flipped. Like, a 1-2-3 beat, so someone going through the stage would have an indicator of when the ON/OFF switch is gonna be flipped. Can't figure out any way to do that though. Think it might be impossible, since noteblocks bounce entities which means they leave global ground which results in them despawning. Maybe there's some other setup I could do to produce a global sound in rythm to the ON/OFF switch but I have no idea what that would be. I've never messed with this stuff before.

ThisIsACoolGuy posted:Also if anyone plays my new level can I request some feedback on how it flowed? It's a pretty long stage with exploring being it's big pitch. I put everything where I figured it would work best- but most of all I'm pretty proud of it Oh man, this was great. The Chozo statues and the escape sequence at the end were fantastic! The length was pretty much right (fun and not long enough to be tedious) and it had great decoration and atmosphere. Found Sound posted:Freight Elevator This was a lot of fun too! Great idea, good level design, and nice use of the pipes to make a vertical level. I played a second time to get the World Record (by jumping down the elevator shaft). Someone try to beat my time.

I did something like this with a level I made (a sound beat to help indicate a on/off switch trigger). I just made a contraption for making a sound when the switch was hit and copy/pasted it across the top of the level with a vertical scroll stop across the whole level to prevent the player from seeing it.

I don't know if this is at all helpful, but—I'm working on a vertical stage now where I have an object bouncing on a note block at the top (where you start), and it's still going when you hit the bottom of the stage. I have a wall down the center of the entire stage to prevent horizontal scrolling, and the note block contraption is two blocks to the right of the wall, on the opposite side of the wall the player is on. I think any more than two or three blocks past the wall and it doesn't load. I imagine this would work just as well if you start at the bottom of the screen and go up, but I have no idea how wide your whole switch contraption needs to be in order to function, or if a single screen width would work for your level.

So this made me curious. I made a contraption with a note block and ON/OFF switch. I placed it at the bottom of a vertical sublevel and an identical copy at the top. The one the bottom deloads as soon as you travel too high. The one on top stays loaded when you go down, or back up, or whatever. It doesn't need global ground or anything either. I guess this has to be some weird quirk in how the game loads? Either way its kind of poo poo for me since I want a stage that goes up, not down. And I suppose you could spawn someone at the top too trigger the device and have them fall down but they'd have to repeat that everytime they die and that would get old fast.

I just made a contraption for making a sound when the switch was hit and copy/pasted it across the top of the level with a vertical scroll stop across the whole level to prevent the player from seeing it. How did you keep the contraptions and sound devices in sync with loading taken into account? Or did they all work vertically and were perfectly spaces the load/deload through the level?

This setup can still get thrown off somehow if the player moves a certain way (might be able to improve idk), but it'll correct itself on the next switch. https://twitter.com/SamFaustus/status/1151038878154993664

dudeness posted:Mario Won A Cruise! I had to trek all the way back for the coin in the blue pipe, which I didn't anticipate having to do because the stage looks less linear than it is. I still beat it my first try, with 8 seconds left on the clock, but I was really hauling rear end through the part after the checkpoint. 400 seconds is really not enough for the stage, and I think even 500 seconds might be a bit tight for players who are taking their time. I loved most of the stage. Good, simple puzzles, and the final section was hilarious—I wish I could have stood around longer to appreciate it. One bit I'd change is the three sets of flame jets you have to go through to get the fire flower, because it's unnecessarily time-consuming in a level where you can't afford to waste time, especially since a lot of players are probably going to have to do this more than once because of that tricky spiny cannon immediately afterward. Huxley posted:Thought I'd share my first level. I guess it's a puzzle, there's basically no running and a lot of switches. Feedback appreciated! I have no idea if this works, or if it only works in my head. Sometimes shells may miss the blocks because they travel at different speeds depending upon whether you're running or not when you hit them, but it doesn't really matter in this case as it's a brief level and there's more than one way you can go for some of the coins. As a whole, the level works. I had to replay a couple of times because I already turned my brain off for the night and kept unnecessarily trying to hit that last on/off switch with a jump from the springboard.
