Hello

[Lotica]

Hello folks! Lotica here. Some (or possibly none) of you might know me somewhat for hanging around some of the SMBX fan forums or possibly even SMW Central. I've been a gamer for nearly all my life and never tend to stop, and I'm a film student as well. Hopefully I'll be doing my own SMBX project, now that the game has been finally updated and there can be some purpose into making a project now. I actually had a friend brought up an old project of his he did in SMBX, and that's what got my interest into the game again, and I want to do an interesting project where I take his project and basically mold my own levels around it, since the levels are... well, let's just say he was in the 7th grade when he did them, and they aren't really good (It's okay, he doesn't think they're good either). Here's a video of him showing the thing off:



Glad to be here!

Okay let me set you straight. Sorry guys but Lotica seems to have the wrong idea.
SMBX 1.3.0.1 probably is NOT what you're thinking of as "finally updated!" It's basically just some graphics fixes, an added default episode, and a change of the in-game site link to this new site. By all means download it if your connection can handle it but it's probably not the miracle update you've been waiting 3 years for, if you really have been waiting with bated breath for an update. Not to mention Valtteri (the guy who is primarily behind it, NOT Redigit/demilogic,) said that since they've made almost all the polishes they can in this update (KIM they don't have the source/source code or anything other than a default 1.3 installation to work from), there probably won't be any MORE updates, let alone a real 1.3.1. But don't let that deter you - I've noticed that the most prolific and happy people in this game's community are the people who would keep making and playing levels even if Nintendo themselves said "All further projects designed to allow people to "make their own Mario" will be persecuted and shut down".

Well, that's a shame. I thought it was a real update. Oh well, at least it's something I guess. Thanks for clearing it up for me.
