Sure would be great if there was something in place to filter out uploads of the built in levels, levels that are just a single screen with a goalpost on it, and Auto-Mario stuff with no gameplay. Edit: Just making it so that setting a record time of under 5 seconds made the level automatically get deleted would massively could down on shitposts.

I've got two courses here. First up: Mario and the Chrono Castle! JCP-JXS-2FG This is by far the biggest stage I've made yet. (Both in ambition and literally, it is basically the biggest a stage can be in Mario Maker.) The idea is that Mario's Time Traveling to a castle's past to push forward. I put a lot of work into this one, and I'd really like to see people play it. Next: MicroLevel: Switch and Smash J3K-VWR-PBG Then after being tired from doing that I decided to go the opposite route. And made a level that you played through pretty much in a single screen. Very short, almost impossible to die, use this as a pallet cleanser.

Man, the clear rate on Make Way 3 is plummeting. Three separate deaths came from respawning the first thwomp by going backwards through the pipe (in the ceiling) and pissing him off/getting crushed. I think literally every large thwomp has killed someone.

I made that race course I posted and I think it's pretty easy- there are some hazards in it but it has more of a focus on picking a path you think would be easier for you to deal with. "I expect this to get 30-40% in single player if not higher" Realistically though I'm going to probably wind up seeing 20% and I have no idea how people are dying.

If your level has way to softlock, people will go out of their way to achieve it even when you think nobody ever would.

Internet Kraken posted:If your level has way to softlock, people will go out of their way to achieve it even when you think nobody ever would. I need to redo my level Horror House of Hammers, because a certain goon managed to get softlocked in the puzzle room—I accidentally placed bricks on the wrong side of a one-way wall, and you'd get stuck if you went there without hitting the P-Switch. Also found another way to get softlocked in the same room, if you try to use the secret path when you're big. It's so annoying, because I caught and fixed both of these mistakes while I was designing the room, but I changed things around so many loving times in a failed attempt to make the level able to be run backwards and forwards, and also trying to not let you cheese the puzzle by hitting a P switch in a different room, that I forgot to check again when it was done.

It's been more than 12 hours since I've made a stage so I had to noodle around a bit and I came up with this. Title: [10s] Castle Chaos Code: 4TT-PVW-26G Description: Can you make it out of this dungeon alive? One screen, 10 seconds. Difficulty: Super Expert Edit: I did the rear end in a top hat thing, and now it's my first Super Expert stage. The Lobster fucked around with this message at 02:08 on Jul 25, 2019 |

One of the nicer things about my current relocation (besides getting a good job that will pay extremely well) is that I'll be close to a city with an opera company. Not an enormous one, not even as large as the small one I used to go to, but a respected one. My first paycheck is going to be spent partially on some season tickets. So after I discarded my initial plans for a level based on the ballet Spartacus (it was going to have one guy with a key and then a bunch of identical guys jump up), it occurred to me that The Magic Flute actually has a structure that is very video game-y. [Super abbreviated summary for the couple of people who don't know it: a guy in the woods meets the Queen of the Night who wants his help rescuing her kidnapped daughter. Turns out the kidnappers were the good guys trying to break her power and the guy and the daughter have to pass trials of fire and water so they can win.] It also has a really impressive vocal piece that's well known. (For the next time you hear that in a commercial, she's singing about how her daughter has to murder her fiance.) Mozart's The Mario Flute (I had to break my alliteration naming scheme for this jam  )GQY-M7J-NHF Now to play the jam levels submitted so far.

My thought was that the change of pace was "good" for a secret area. And that if you're going to skip part of the level you should at least have to do something different. Also, I obsess over these layouts even if it doesn't look like it, so making a long straightforward tunnel in an out-of-the-way place was kind of relaxing. Toy Tunnel Trepidation - GNV-OD5-DHG - If you liked Toy Tower Trouble.... here's another one! It was just so much fun to make. (mot all of this level takes place in a tunnel)

Frozen - Let It Go N97-2BC-0FG By: The Lobster I wasn't going to make a serious comment here since there's nothing to talk about with an automatic musical level and I'm the last person who should comment on musical arrangements, but those were some odd measures you chose to adapt and cut on. Running in the 90s J73-QTY-FHG By: Plebian Parasite Tough speed running stage, but not outrageously so. Boos in the Belfry 6BM-BJ2-6WG By: Suspicious Cook I played this the other night but I didn't realize it was a jam level. I'm just mentioning it here for completeness sake. Spitting Fire LVL-5YC-KBG By: Asema Cute stage with the bombs. The boss felt kind of unnecessary since it wasn't related to the rest of your stage.

Hopefully I will have my jam level up tomorrow. It's not long but involves a clear condition and a gimmick that will probably be unfamiliar to many players so I've spent the past three nights fretting over the difficulty and adjusting the same handful of sections over and over again.

Eh, I wouldn't be so pessimistic. It's very common for a designer's course to be much more difficult than they judge. After all, players don't have your knowledge of a course or your practice with it, so I'd err on the side of making a course slightly easier. Another factor: speed-runners will bring your clear rate down, since they might reset after messing something up slightly (resets count against your clear rate, right?).

I wound up making 2 levels today. Was bit with a bug!! I wanted to make a ghost ship level and wound up having a lot of fun throwing this together. It's a classic airship that mostly relies on a small handful of traps used in different ways and boos. Can you find a way to get the ships treasure and escape alive??? Or will you be joining the airships damned deck hands!!! The title is a joke on Barbarossa. I couldn't decide on Boo-beard or that...........  Posted at the very bottom of the last page but a multiplayer level I put together. Any feedback in general would be appreciated as I timed all the paths to roughly take the same amount of time to complete and it's kinda hard to make multiplayer focused levels that arent' just sectioned off lanes.

The Lobster posted:The start of the song and the chorus? The thing is that you've only got 20-some measures to work with in a song laid out as an auto-level. So by not selectively arranging you wind up cutting things off awkwardly. You kind of have to cut pieces out of the song where you can bridge thing appropriately. I'm pretty far from an expert on the subject, I just noticed the abrupt endings. DorianGravy posted:Your discussion of opera intrigues me. I've gone to two operas in my life, with mixed feelings. While both of the operas bored me, I still really enjoyed the whole experience of going to the opera. It sounds like you've thought your level through a lot, so I'll try to beat it later. I won't begrudge anyone for not enjoying an opera. Especially when we're talking about pre-20th century operas which have their own set of hurdles. I'm not even a big opera nerd, I just enjoy seeing it performed and I've lived over a decade in someplace that wasn't an option.

I had a course in MM1 named THE IMPENETRABLE FORTRESS OF DOOM or something, the joke being it was a lovely garbage fort built by goombas. Its my only course that has ever been deleted and I have no clue why. My only guess is Nintendo just purged every course with the title in all-caps at some point.
