Is joining discord a requirement for testing?

No, not really, but it really helps with communication and sending beta testing material.

You can join both Inferno's server (Featherflock Studios) and the novaverse server.

I don't have discord, but I do wish to do PMs here if you want to send me episodes to test.

[TheNightingale]

Damn that looks amazing. Reminds me of when I used to play lots of online Mario fangames. Good times...

I hope you suceed with this dude. I'll be there to play it

[Sleepy Dee]

Felt comfortable to say that the demo should be released in the next 1-2 months!

[DiamondDude]

how big would the demo be?

[Sleepy Dee]

how big would the demo be?

It will only consist of the first world, the next demo may contain 5, unsure of that yet, but this is just for the public to test and see how the project is, I mean heck. This will be my biggest episode yet!

I can see that nobody chose to help with the level department. I can help with that.

Edit nvm

Actually, last time I checked the episode forum rules, it does aloud demos as long "DEMO" is in the thread's title, so that's basically false information you're spreading.

[Cedur]

I still don't think there's a point with having an unfinished episode in Episodes anyway

[Cedur]

so here's my experiences from the demo that I mostly already shared on the discord

Spoiler: show

Cutscene dialogs in the intro are too clichéd. They could be a bit shorter and Mario and Luigi shouldn't have any accent, it just feels odd and cringy for me. Keep it to a minimum, an occasional "lets-a-go" is acceptable.
The toad village is pretty cool.
First two levels are okay as introductory levels, although I wish a little more coins and enemies. Clear pipes should be removed at places where they don't serve any purpose.
Third level is awesome as we established; only little nitpick is that there are only mushroom power-ups after the checkpoint.
The fortress level is good, I especially like the cutscene. I think the boss is manageable because all you need to do on the bomb rains is jump at the right rhythm.
Is there any reason to why World 1 just has three levels and a fortress, like original SMB1? Or could it become a bit larger?

overall rating: 6/10

[SuperSmashbroFanX]

Cool episode! I’m gonna use the support banner!

[da_noob8playsMARIOX]

i'd be happy to beta test if you want

[Hammerless Penguin]

Hey I ran into you on discord yesterday offering a job for beta testing. Is it still open?
