A 2nd X Thing Episode 2: Digital Groove

Postby **Hoeloe** » Thu Feb 08, 2024 8:17 am

The long-awaited continuation of A 2nd X Thing Episode 1: Analog Funk is finally here, after nearly 10 years in development!

You can download the game here (requires SMBX2 Beta 5): https://a2xt2.codehaus.moe/

A direct sequel to A2XT Episode 1: Analog Funk, the game picks up right where things left off: with the end of the universe and everything inside. Only Sheath managed to survive, and the fate of the everything rests on the shoulders of a chronically distracted teenager whose main ability is simply being there too. Can she save the everything? Play the game (or watch the LP) to find out!

We tried to keep things as accessible as possible, so while the events of the previous game are important, you don't have to have played other entries in the series to enjoy this one (though it certainly can't hurt)!

It's been a long road. A very, very, very long road. But we're finally here, performing for you! I hope you all enjoy the game to the fullest!

There is also a raocow LP of the game running at the same time! Catch the playlist here!

A2XT is like, one of the first episodes I ever played when I was on my early SMBX times. Glad to see the sequel of it. Great job for those who involved!

Can I use player sprites and costumes from this game on my own levels?

The player sprites are already available in the basegame.

I guess while I'm at it, I'll just post the videos of my playthrough here as well, to gain more traction: (This was recorded before the patch; but following the next video, I'm playing in the new one)

I totally haven't listened to Vanilla Ice's song of the same name for an hour while designing the thumbnail + thinking of the name of the video :p

Whoops, it seems I didn't upload the last week's episode here, so here it is:

And here's the episode of this week, as a bonus:

I honestly should be more consistent with updating this thread with my playthrough videos, I blame myself for being too focused on other things irl.

Anyways, until I upload new videos next week; here's the latest part of my playthrough:

The new part of this playthrough. I might put this on indefinite hiatus depending on what my viewers will think about this choice...

Question about the game: Since nearly all the assets in this episode replace most of the objects and NPCs, will there be some sort of asset pack like in TheXTech where you can play through levels and episodes using the game's graphics, but made for SMBX2 instead? It'd be nice to see because in my opinion, the graphics in this game are incredible and refreshing from the assets used in base SMBX2 for years. The personality of the characters and NPCs are great in this episode!
