Remember, even though Touhou is of the "Bullet Curtain" genre, the level you create still has to be beatable and enjoyable to play. Even though Touhou games are hard, they keep pushing you to make it farther than your last attempt. The levels you guys create should capture that tough-yet-addictive spirit of Touhou.

Well, that's for KingBowserKoopa to decide. I'm pretty sure that he'll let you both submit and judge this contest, though. I can't wait to see your entry!

Ah, a Touhou-themed level by another member of the community! "Koopa Devil Mansion", huh? I'll be sure to take a look at that as well. Of course, a level in that style would be welcome in this contest. I have an idea for a level themed around Seija, but I'm not the best level designer. If I do complete it, though, I'll be sure to submit it to this contest.

Also, I appreciate the Eiki Shiki reference. Flower View is one of my top three Windows Touhou games, anyways.

What's the fucking point in making a Touhou level if it's not going to have any Touhou girls in it!?

And I don't mean as static NPCs to have a talk with. I mean ACTUAL ENEMIES AND/OR BOSSES! Nobody's going to draw their custom sprites of them and put them in the level! It's going to have Touhou music, fill the screen with bullets, yet it's going to have THE SAME STUPID ENEMIES AS EVERY VANILLA SMBX LEVEL! Gensokyo doesn't have Goombas and Koopa Troopas in it! It has FAIRIES, WITCHES, CATGIRLS, GHOST GIRLS, GODDESSES!!

I play Touhou for the girls, and a Touhou level where you don't at least fight them directly IS NOT TOUHOU!

Navi · Postby **Navi** » Tue May 26, 2015 1:26 am

uhmmm...
are you overreacting

It doesn't really matter if you don't have "FAIRIES, WITCHES, CATGIRLS, GHOST GIRLS, GODDESSES!!" in your 2hu level.
atleast it has some godlymusic

edit: wait goddesses?

Shidomaru · Postby **Shidomaru** » Tue May 26, 2015 1:34 am

Having the girls is ALL that matters!

Otherwise I wouldn't have tried to make an entire episode where you play as Cirno and fight Suwako at the end of every world! Even if it didn't have any Touhou music, I wouldn't give a shit. The girls are EVERYTHING! (again, not the "talking" type of NPC, but as actual enemies/bosses to fight)

Navi · Postby **Navi** » Tue May 26, 2015 1:37 am

Uhmmm....
would this do

Shidomaru · Postby **Shidomaru** » Tue May 26, 2015 1:43 am

That's a step in the right direction, but I'd animate her a little bit so she doesn't look like a cardboard cutout (that Kogasa sprite in your own graphics pack, for example, had more than one frame). Also, I don't like only dodging and never fighting back. If you only dodge and never damage her, then it's not a boss fight. Heck! Even Bowser from SMB1 had you cut the bridge from under him!

Navi · Postby **Navi** » Tue May 26, 2015 1:51 am

welp i haven't done that

every boss battle i make is purely time out tho

but i can make one like that (avoid then attack)

Shidomaru · Postby **Shidomaru** » Tue May 26, 2015 12:03 pm

I trust you can do it, that's why I pointed it out. SMBX has just SO MUCH wasted potential that everybody seems to miss! Seriously! SMBX's level editor is SO powerful you can even make episodes that don't feel like a Mario game at all! And with the proper custom graphics this can be taken up to eleven! I used to be working on a CASTLEVANIA episode! And if you had played it with the custom graphics you would have forgotten you were playing SMBX at all! The level editor is THAT powerful!

Rawr · Postby **Rawr** » Tue May 26, 2015 12:40 pm

Ahh, I'm intrigued. I've been enjoying bossedit8's Touhou levels, so I'll possibly try to make my own level. I'll gladly participate. ;D

By the way, are any edited NPCs (E.g replacing a Goomba with a Ying-yang orb) allowed?

gg best advertisement ever, it's only missing a different title like "I AM THE BEST DESIGNER, I USE SMBX AT IT'S FULLESSTSTSTSTST"

Look, we didn't start a contest so people could argue about what makes a good Touhou SMBX level. Nor did we start a contest so people could start petty arguments and derail the thread. We started a contest so people could enjoy creating their own levels and playing other peoples levels so they could see things from a different perspective. If you want to start arguments like this, that's your problem, not ours. Take it elsewhere; start your own thread if you feel that strongly about it. Just don't bring attitude like that here.
