My first game

KJPopcorn · Postby **KJPopcorn** » Fri Jun 07, 2024 11:20 am

I will be making my first SMBX game called "Super Mario Bros. Spiced." It is a combined remake of SMB1 and SMB2J (SMB:TLL) with a few extra elements in the style of those games. It will have enemies from games like SMB2, SMB3 and SMW, but (most of) those enemies will be recolored/restyled in the SMB1 style. The main powerup will be the Fire Super Leaf from Mario Builder.

You need help uploading your demo? Well first you need to zip your episode and level files (if you haven't already done this). usually the computer should have a built-in function to zip files, but if your computer doesn't have this then there are websites online that let you do so.

Then go to a website that lets you upload your zipped file (such as Mediafire or Google drive). personally I use Google drive, so I'm not sure how other websites like that work, so in this case I'll just talk about google drive. As long as you have a Google account you should be able to use it fine. So once your in your drive click on 'new' in the top-left corner and click on 'file upload' (as a zipped folder counts as a single file). once it has been uploaded insure that the file is available to anyone that has the link by clicking on 'manage access' (the way you might access the access varies on different devices I think). Then copy the link and paste it on your topic. hope this helps.

Is it bad to have your star coin placements too obvious, like, have them in plain sight?

Well that's sort of a situational thing. If it's in plain sight then usaully (at least in nintendo's case) then there is usaully some sort of challenge to get to it. For example:

This star coin is very clear that it's there, but it is challenging to get it.
In conclusion, star coins in plain sight can be quite a good thing, but I think a mix of star coins in plain sight and ones not in plain sight is best.
There's a whole topic just based on level design here: viewtopic.php?t=19096

the world names aren't that really great, i'd suggest changing the names to not just "______ World". Asides, great episode looking so far!

Here is the layout of the first level. How can I make it better?

It's kind of hard to determine whether the level is good or not without actually being able to actually play it. Could you please put up a download for the level?

Like for example, "Desert Hill" is a really good name for a desert world, try naming it something with a word associated with the theme, like "Freezing Heights" or don't include the world names at all, (just include the themes if you want to go this way) Like Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island.
