Rollersnake posted:I think it would be interesting. Just be sure to give a 1-Up before the mandatory death so you don't have anyone getting a game over from your level gimmick. Great point! I was just planning on giving a ton of 1-ups after, but giving one before would help too.

Submitted a level for the Bridge Out Bayou jam. Hopefully I didn't miss anything when finalizing it because I have had no time to make levels the past couple of days and probably won't for the upcoming few: BoB: Goombrat Grotto: 888-RVK-XQF Forgot to put the BoB: in the title.

Really been enjoying the goon levels. Have played a whole bunch just lurking in the thread, but I'll just comment on some recent ones and try to compile the others later. Very cool concept and execution, mostly. Throwing POWs=great, but holy crap every part with a conveyor belt made me want to end Christmas. Count me as one of the folks who mostly had trouble keeping up with the screen and kept getting rimmed by a purple plant until I remembered long jumps were a thing in 3D world. They really helped. Gnome Enthusiast posted:Muddy Mountain - NDK-4J0-KSF At least I hope that's mud, folks! Pretty straight forward level but you can go fast in satisfying ways or stand around and watch a goomba drown in "water." I liked it. Too Shy Guy posted:Valley of Koopa-Chompem: BMH-N2C-WTG Fun to play. It felt like an actual mario 3 level for the most part. dog nougat posted:Lost in the Forest of Illusion I managed to get myself stuck on the thwomp section twice by getting the horizontal thwomp pushed up after colliding with a vertical thwomp. Some of the fire bar windows were very tight but you sprinkled in plenty of power ups. Truthfully, I kinda just stuck to the dry routes when I could, but I enjoyed having the option of which route to take. Fun to explore. I really liked this one. Long level, but the solutions to your setups were always fairly intuitive. I think I found some v. minor cheese in one section by just going in and out of a door to respawn some bombs after the blocks around them had been cleared (right after the first check point). Good job. Control Volume posted:2WY-LF6-WGG This was a fun, punchy set of levels that had good theming, focus, and length so no individual course overstayed its welcome. Liked the optional challenges. Good stuff. Also, I made 2 different and pretty basic Gotta Go Fast levels. I haven't tried a speed run before but all my friends love the style so I gave it a whirl. I think they should be medium difficulty, but I'm always a bad judge of my awkward jumps. That is to say, big props to Phantasium, peterbilt and other goons for clearing some of my janky rear end courses. Toefur Speedrun: 30sec Ice Dash JLK-BQ5-L1G A 30 second speed run in Super Mario Bros with a fairly tight timer but pretty basic platforming. Toefur Speedruns Dos: Lava Lake NVX-QQM-SCG A race the lava level level. Udenpah fucked around with this message at 15:22 on Aug 26, 2019 |

I think I'll try to knock out my stage within the next day or two. Gonna make some athletic courses! Do we need an easy starter course as well? Kind of the level 1 of the course? I'm happy to throw that together as well.

ThisIsACoolGuy posted:Finished a fort/ghost house for the Bayou. I probably should have gave feedback on this last night after I had just played it because I liked it but the details are already fading, but also I didn't want to ignore it while acknowledging the rest of your post so I'll just say it was a good level. quote:Phantasium - The Descent? Too Shy Guy posted:It got tedious for me making the same ascent over and over because it seems simple enough (and long enough) that I want to go fast, but the ant patterns are awkward enough that I can't. I'm kind of curious about how the spawn timing could be terribly different than how it was when I was testing, since they tend to despawn at the drop of a hat and come back at the spawn point, and I tried to keep them in areas where you can see them first (and the one instance where I thought one could surprise you I put one on the ceiling so you could realize to maybe slow down a bit for the part ahead). tonberi posted:The Descent? - Phantasium Thank you! Though I am starting to wish there was some way to mark items in your level as a capital-S Secret so that it could be tracked in some form, might make a nice diversion from people speedrunning everything if there was some kind of counter for that on a level. I only say this because I wonder how many people are finding everything in my levels... SilverSupernova posted:Been a little busy and forgot to upload my Luigis here, so here's a bunch of levels I've made with varying degrees of quality. I liked all of these, nice spread between interesting mechanics done with a light touch and good difficulty curve, and/or good set dressing on the stage design. Last Visible Dog posted:Aw, I didn't realize it was such an oversaturated level type. Thanks for trying it, at least. It's maybe not a type, but anytime I get a course that asks me to get a certain number of coins in a large area out of a rather large total it scratches the same explorer itch I get in something like Metroid so I play it slow but then I end up hitting up against the time limit by the time I have the amount of coins I need and then running back to the start while missing part of the level and that always feels like it sucks a little.

Phantasium posted:I did not have the same problems the others have had with this level, but then, I tend to struggle to keep up with some of them so the notion that I could have gotten so far to the right to lose all momentum seems nuts to me, I had problems not having enough time for the butt stomp, or having the flower right before the exploding bridge basically just push me forward since I was just far enough ahead to not get left behind. Still fun to run against and clear. Internet Kraken posted:Obviously you want this to be difficult but it was very frustrating for me. I had to tap out after the first checkpoint because I kept screwing up the very first jump+throw so much. Its just a bad combination of the wall being able to kill momentum, the blocks obscuring your vision, and tight window of opportunity to jump. I was playing in handheld mode so that probably exacerbated the visibility issues though. Clever use of POW blocks though. Ziddar posted:I want to like this level, but I'm mixed. The first half was difficult, but mostly fair by my reckoning. The second half had a whole lot more deaths. It was real easy to survive an obstacle but be behind enough that you might as well have died on the spot. I also felt that the conveyors were unnecessary. It was really inconsistent if I would retain some speed when I hit them or lose it all. J-Spot posted:I had a similar reaction to Ziddar. The first half was cool, but the second half was pure frustration with the level constantly loving you over for not staying in the middle of the screen. Maybe I'll have to take down the stage and take out the conveyor belts. I put the belts in to keep players from getting too far ahead, but it seems like everyone is getting too far behind. Getting too far ahead can basically break the stage but it sounds like most people playing are naturally not getting too far ahead.

Getting too far ahead can basically break the stage but it sounds like most people playing are naturally not getting too far ahead. Mostly it's a problem with how 3D World handles momentum. I got nailed by the plant on the conveyor and in subsequent tries made a note to be going faster right before the conveyor so I could outpace him. There's a learning curve, but no more than any fast autoscroller, in my opinion. For what it's worth, I enjoyed the level. Your levels are always a welcome change of pace.

Any ideas on how I can make a stationary dry bones shell move left? A spring moves it right and it collapses when it hits a wall, and it won't work the way I want to if I just make it go right and bounce it left off a spring.

A spring moves it right and it collapses when it hits a wall, and it won't work the way I want to if I just make it go right and bounce it left off a spring. Shells always bounce to the left off springs if there's a Pow Block or P-Switch loaded below their spawn point. They always go to the right if there's one above, so you can stick one in a wall somewhere to guide the shells where you want them to go.

dog nougat posted:Made a new level. Took a few days, but I'm finally happy with what I have. Multiple paths. Should hopefully be pretty challenging. I wasn't a huge fan of the section immediately after the checkpoint with the thwomps and turn blocks. It went on longer than it needed to (three smashes in and we get the point already) and the sideways thwomp would often get set off course by the vertical thwomps which just made the whole thing feel janky. The addition of the fish there was an unnecessary annoyance. The rest of the level was decent if a bit cramped a certain points. Udenpah posted:Toefur Speedrun: 30sec Ice Dash I really struggled with the section where you need to break the ice blocks out from under the bullet blasters. Maybe the coins in that section should have been on the ground telling you when to jump since having them under the ice block doesn't serve as much of a guide. Udenpah posted:Toefur Speedruns Dos: Lava Lake This one starts off ok but I'm glad you included checkpoints. Once you get to the Yoshi section the whole thing gets kind of messy. There's a real loss of flow from there with the awkward slow down to get on Yoshi and then the short thwomp jumps after that. The next room didn't feel super well sign posted between the descent and then jumping up to grab the pow block and then the spiny jumps feel a little short which made me overshoot them when jumping with my current momentum.

Suspicious Cook posted:Take the plunge in my latest, speedy autoscroller: That was a super rad level. Good idea and execution. I kept trying to jump over the big thwomp and not clearing the gap but thats on me. Also, thank you for putting in that last checkpoint for us impatient folks what are still bad at jumping on things. Great job. Phantasium posted:I already made another stage? I liked this level. The pay off jump felt good (especially knowing there was a check point if I screwed up) which made the climb rewarding. I think the best bits of climbing involved wall jumps or some other vertical way to clear the ants aside from just jumping on slopes and if you were to tweak it I'd add more of those bits. Lastly, I feel the ants are underutilized and are good bug bois. Good stuff. Thanks for the input! Lava Level: I definitely agree the last half of the Lava stage feels more awkward than I'd like. It went through a couple revisions and I had a hold right full-speed version of it in the works, but I couldn't get the spike jumps to be reliable as I'd like as it was awkward to hit them at full tilt. I should have probably found another obstacle for those parts. Ice Dash: I certainly guessed the ice block breaking part would be the biggest sticking point. I'll try to signpost the jumps more in line with the rest of the level, or maybe add a little more horizontal space so you have more time to jump (or maybe bump the timer up to allow for screw-ups).

Too Shy Guy posted:The Flyin' King: S86-2KX-KRG This was a nice lesson in how to control myself in flight, there's not really any dick moves to force you to get into a single formation flight path, and also options throughout to correct and gain altitude alleviates a lot of issues I typically see with levels that are based around the cape. Fun stage. Gnome Enthusiast posted:Muddy Mountain - NDK-4J0-KSF At least I hope that's mud, folks! Somehow I forgot I played this course last night, lol. I see a lot of people making levels signposting exactly where the water level comes to in levels with the lava/acid/etc. but in this case I appreciate that this level gives you safe spaces to land but doesn't necessarily signpost to how high, because it leads to situations where you have to find it at the last minute because you thought you were safe, and right off the bat it comes up higher in this level than you'd expect. Lots of safe challenges above the max height, and a lot of dangerous ones below it that get swallowed up. Lets you choose your route a little in an interesting way. Also dang it porkins. dog nougat posted:Lost in the Forest of Illusion You're very good about letting people have a ton of powerups and also making it still challenging. This was a very natural maze that was good about letting me know the path forward while still giving some options. Really enjoyable. I like this gauntlet of mini-challenges a lot, lots of fun little obstacle courses with a quick objective to clear to get a key and then move on. yrmr posted:BoB: Goombrat Grotto: 888-RVK-XQF I don't think I've seen a course that was all about the shifting hazards of enemies and how they behave on land versus in water. I mean I've seen it as a natural course of people making forest levels but the challenge wasn't focused on it. It's interesting, and works pretty well. Well-decorated level, too.

Spikey posted:Marioware INC: Mega Microgame$ I think maybe the room with 4 skull platforms could have been fine with just maybe 1 or 2, but otherwise this was a solid level of fun tiny challenges you have to solve quickly, like you'd expect.

I felt compelled to keep the whole thing in for some reason. That portion and the spring room I probably could've done without tbh. I like the kiting a flying thwomp mechanic and want to include it in a later level. As for cramped, yeah that makes sense. I wanted to create a level that utilized the water portion and the dry portion as mostly separate parts of the stage. It turned out to be more work than I realized it would be/limited the stage to basically 1 vertical area for the main level portions. My next stage is a big more open, more in line with SMW levels from Donut Plains, but not quite as expansive.

I'm generally not a huge fan of forced areas with no power ups and one hit is instant death. It doesn't feel very "Mario-like" or whatever. I want to give the player the tools to progress without getting hit once if they time it correctly, but still be forgiving enough that it doesn't reset all your progress and gives a sense of urgency or direness.

Personally, I had no problem with the hammer bros, but I can also see why the first sledge bro might give more hesitant players trouble. Maybe put the power-up before him? Though, after feeling good dodging all those hammers I took a hit from a goomba, dadgum. Overall, I enjoyed the climbing and the experience of robbing people's houses. Good aesthetics, too.
