Forktoss posted:Thanks for checking this out - I get what you mean about it being a bit tedious, looking back on it it is definitely very slow to play. Will keep that in mind for future autoscroller stages. Thanks for the feedback! I watched the level on the stream, I thought you did a great job with the design of the ships. It reminded me of a koopa version of the toad-shaped ships from Buckey OHare.

Alright, finally did a new level. This one has a pretty tough section near the end, hopefully it's not so bad that it's impossible for everyone. You'll know when you get to it, it's very hectic, but the very final part of the level was tough to time without doing what I did. The very last part was actually incredibly hard to time because it wouldn't work if you went too slow but it also wouldn't work if you get through it too fast. Finding the right timing for it to work was difficult. But hopefully it works out. Warning: You will need to be able to wall jump on a moving Thwomp, and there's several Thwomps that will come down from above that you can't see on screen. So keep moving

Here's another level. It's a boss rush-type level that's probably decently hard, but you have some options in how to finish it, so hopefully it's not too bad. Bowser Bonanza 4B6-3WG-3JG https://twitter.com/SamFaustus/status/1162481986469941248?s=20

Woohoo! I finally got 3,000 points! I also finished up this Waluigi Ware level. I wanted to make a Warioware type minigame collection. I used a parachute bob-omb to make a timer for each room. Scroll stop is really great function, I love it. Each room has a "minigame" that's usually one simple or quick action. It's not exactly the same structure as WarioWare, and at the end I kind of played with the idea of Waluigi not being as good at Warioware as his brother, as his own minigames go wrong and allow Toadette to escape.

The challenge is just perfect for the whole thing, too. I think the difficulty worked out to be quite right. Maybe not for the other 65 or so marios who died before I cleared it but everything flows well, which is what I usually think of when I think of your levels. Sam Faust posted:Here's another level.

It worked better than I thought it would when I get to a level with 3 Bowser fights, I liked the timer on the second one, and the arena for the third. They can all suck it though 'cuz I killed them all. Khanstant posted:NGD-RWJ-V9G - Waluigi Ware: Switched Oh this is super clever and satisfying, especially once I stopped being a moron and noticed the obvious door in the first room that my eyes kept glazing over for like six attempts for some reason.

This was a cute level, but the one big critique I have is that the coins really should've been used as a guide, especially in that second section which has VERY specific jumps it needs to make. Instead it's these big arrows made out of coins that don't give a great indication of where and how you're supposed to do the jump. Also not a fan of the poop sound!!!

Phantasium posted:NGD-RWJ-V9G - Waluigi Ware: Switched Thank you for saying that! It took me a while to finally get the right restraint to make the puzzles to work in the right timeframe and simplicity. I really struggled putting that room in first. It was meant to be like a 1-1 set up with the standard blocks and goomba, but the door on top of the blocks is totally non-standard. I even for a while had that room as the like "tutorial/example" room before settling on making the start screen have the tutorial puzzle that can be reset to continue to the rest. I think it's fair for that door and set-up to be harder to miss, and the later callback room where you go in reverse and automatically "ninja-attack" when entering the room worked better.

The video capture feature on the Switch is terrible and I'd have gone for a better time to capture the whole thing but I was pretty tired last night.

So this was a solid normal level. The only thing about it is, I assume there's an alternate route if the Yoshi doesn't die? It's pretty easy to trigger the claw into dropping the egg so you can't get it, so you have to go down the pipe, but I assume you can go to the overhead section if you use Yoshi? The final section I just used fireballs to easily get through it, I don't know if that was your intention or not. Is there some way to get over to the left side of the axe with the Boom Booms? The boss fight was also kind of strange because at some point Bowser Jr just jumped down to the lower floor and I guess got crushed and died, I don't know if that was intentional or not either. But either way, overall a good solid level. The Lobster posted:I'm really not feeling up to doing Jams and Blitzes due to personal issues going on, but I did happen to make this sort of platforming Ghost House. I have lots of ideas for levels but I'm not doing them right now because I'm just kind of down. Making levels does help me feel better but I just have a lot going on that's keeping me from doing it. I guess this is sort of getting me in the mode for school in two weeks though when I'll probably have to stop pretty much altogether. Decent level. I have no idea how you're supposed to get through the ghost circle without getting hit. I don't have too much to add! Suspicious Cook posted:Bingo! My latest jam entry: So clever. Love the theming, love how you pulled off movie scenes (the electric fence was cool. At first I was like "huh?" but then when I jumped over it I was like OOOH). That being said, while the last part was cute with the music, I didn't understand what the final... thing was. Was that supposed to be the t-rex? Spanish Matlock posted:
I gave this one a bunch of tries. I see why it's got a 0% clear rate. The mechanic you want the player to do is just too finicky to pull off, as well as enemy/hazard placements just being kind of mean and having ZERO room for error. This is the kind of level you give to like, Trihex. I'd probably have given it more of a shot if I could keep holding the run button, but you can't do that becasue Mario will grab the pow block instead of landing on it. So it just ends up feeling too unintuitive to do the mechanic required. It's a cool idea and I'd like to see the mechanic used in an easier less Kaizo setting itschris posted:Cool level! The theming was great, and I really liked your idea with the green snake blocks blocking the pipe. LOVED this. So fun. felt like a real Mario level, and it also felt like if they did 3D World style bonus worlds in Mario 3, this is what you'd have. Super cool, my favorite of this batch I played. Big props for having things feel spaced out fairly, even the really tight section at the end, I felt like I didn't have to do everything perfectly to not get hit. The vine climb, everything was spaced out really well with lots of room for error. Really good. Macaluso fucked around with this message at 17:57 on Aug 17, 2019 |

If you hop up onto the question block, you can time your jump out of it such that it occurs when the circle is open. Thanks for the feedback. Alternatively, hit the question block, get the fire power-up, then get the dry bones to hit you and while you are in i-frames grab the fire flower and tank through the boo circle. I've seen clever streamers do both.

My newest course, meant to be more of a story course than a real course, following the story of the Goomba who you wronged in, "A Moral Dilemma," or perhaps his son ("My name is Inigo Mongoomba. You killed my father. Prepare to die!"). It has some cheese, but I'm happy with that, because the point is more the lore and the experience more than the perfection of the gameplay. https://twitter.com/tehlobster/status/1163118670228287488 The Lobster fucked around with this message at 17:06 on Aug 18, 2019 |

Apparently, there is a super jump you can do in 3d world, where you do the up+z+jump inputs for the spinning high jump all within one frame of each other, and you'll get even more height. Not sure how many people know about this, it might be brand new tech.

There is a 1up you can get to above by jumping off Yoshi, but no real alternate path My original intention was that you either make it over with Yoshi and use his spit fire to clear out the enemies in the final section, or if you lost the Yoshi you can just kick the first turtle and run after it. No way to get on the other side of the axe. I never thought that Bowser Jr. would jump down, but that does make sense. I don't think I ever kept him alive long enough for that to happen, LOL.

Also, silly thing I discovered when looking at Mario Maker youtube videos: normally every enemy has to be either next to each other (i.e. tile 1 and tile 2 both contain goombas( or have tile gaps inbetween (Tile 1 has a goomba, tile 2 nothing, tile 3 goomba.) This is relevant because in SMB, you can have enemies spawn in half tile increments. Turn out you can replicate this by placing an enemy on top of a giant enemy and playing said giant enemy in the ground, despawning them when the stage starts and getting your half tile spawn. This is absolutely useless but I found it way too fascinating not to share.

I'm just here to whore out one of my levels Cape Escape 3QQ-2Y6-J9G A "puzzle" level that uses a handful of cape tricks. I wanted to take a few mechanics from the kaizo wiki and make a regular level out of them, so if you're a kaizo expert this probably isn't going to seem that novel. The technique where Mario glues himself to the ceiling is hilarious.

I set out to try and make a pick a door level that wasn't a kick in the butt "if you choose wrong then you die immediately" type of level. I got real into it, made two pretty cool paths and then found out that there's some limitations in mario maker that ruined what I had else so I sorta got disinterested and finished the level pretty quickly. Overall I'm still happy with the level and I had fun with it! It's called Choices. https://twitter.com/Mintaka2D/status/1162924400988938240

Themed to me just means a level that has a coherent visual and gameplay theme throughout it. I'd say most Mario levels from official games would qualify as this. I suppose some might take it to mean extremely thematic levels with heavy visual dressing, but I think its equally valid to apply it to the gameplay. A good themed level too me has both consistent visuals and gameplay.

H110Hawk posted:My 1000'th playthrough of it makes me wish there were flags every few rooms so I didn't have to do the whole thing. That's a good point. I want to revisit this concept in another theme eventually and will definitely try to set up a checkpoint system. By the end I was so used to doing it all I lost track of how long it took to get there if you die. I wonder if there would be a good way to make it so a failed puzzle loses you a "life point," so you can fail 2 times but not die, just reset for the next puzzle. Then you die on third failure. Or just let you always progress but get the "bad ending" if you don't complete any given puzzle. The Lobster posted:Question: What does the tag, "Themed," mean to you? I take it to mean the creator took care to weave the setting and gameplay together, with a pretty wide spectrum of what the themes can be between those things. A level that uses just a single tile, no-slopes line of blocks as the bare minimum for their levels platforming challenges is probably not themed. When it feels like the blocks and objects are purely functional, taken at face value, you never see a certain block as actually a grass tile, or glass in a spaceship viewscreen, or use your imagination to interpret, it's not themed. As a tag to use, a lot of great levels will necessarily be themed through design in some fashion, but if the theming is itself a focus of the level is when the tag is most appropriate. There are also levels created around a specific theme or idea, a base idea and the level is built out from that unifying concept.
