I know it's intended to be a desolate level, but it looks too bland. There's hardly any scenery, nor ceiling which makes a place, particularly a cave or house, feel too open and widely spaced. It definitely needs improvement I think, and unfortunately it's not that appealing or good, though I have to say, some of the screens in the original thread are extraordinarily beyond what a lot of SMBX users could do in their designing, and I appreciate that. I wish you luck since you seem to be making gradual progress on this episode in a brisk way.

What foliage do you expect after the tide washed it away?

Well, you're always the one to make good points I guess, but how is there proof that a tide actually did wash it away? Deserts don't have liquid I thought, either.

1. It's a shore level. It's not suppose to have a ceiling.
2. Yes i will find some BGOs so I can decorate the level soon.

Look at the background - there's LOADS of water!

I like the new screens, some are very well designed, the graphics are nice, and I'm surprised the new amount Items / Objects, Good job!

Screenshot of today! I've decided to show you guys some footage of the HUB of the game. As you migth probably already know Heroes on the Star Quest will have a World Map, but also two HUbs; one so you can choose between different worlds and another for secret levels. This is a screenshot of the HUB where you can choose between the worlds. I know it doesn't look good, but it won't look like this when the game is released. So yeah. Nothing more to expalin.
EDIT: Forgot the screen. XD

It looks nice in my opinion, and technically I can't just judge a project by screenshots, honestly.

I'd suggest you to remove that slope over the pipe though, people might found a glitch there. Chad did the same several times on his project before he was told about it.

Natsu's point regarding the slope was something I would of said but since he got the opportunity to post first, I'll just mention one last thing about the hub; you should add a block at the end of the ladder. Realistically, or at least most of the time, ladders don't float in the midair, and it should connect to something (maybe the ceiling?).

As I've said I will redesign the HUB again. This is one of the first levels I made. But I'll see what I can do.

If possible, I want make a quest if I don't annoing you please. Well, but this episode is "organised" in a world map or in a HUB room ? Thank you so much for reply at this quest. With this: Good work!

zlaker · Postby **zlaker** » Thu Mar 20, 2014 2:29 am

It's actually HUB and World Map, but you'll use the World Map for levels and the HUB to travel between the worlds.

icemario12 · Postby **icemario12** » Thu Mar 20, 2014 8:15 am

Cool. That's sort like TTB2. The HUB looks good and I understanted that you'll eventually re-model this. Along with battles and Toad Houses, I wonder if you could also do challenges, much for Yoshi or a Kuribo Shoe.

Screenshot of yesterday! I forgot to post a screenie yesterday so here you go. The level is in the sky and has the same tileset from SM3DL 4-3 in SMB3 style. The level has over 6 items and objects and has an variation of enemies and sections. The first section is auto scrolling, the second is an exploration section and the third is a Swich Block section.I'm having some troubles for what kind of music I should use. The level introduce new and old items like the Gravity Blocks and the Cannon Box. Also Chad's item from SMSE, the Red Coin P-Switch, will now play a huge role in the game. It's not a new item and more items will be revealed soon. Hope you guys like it and if not....

Well, thank you so much for the informations. Good screen also. It's sounds as an "Maze of sky", really good level-design. I also love the LOGO.

zlaker · Postby **zlaker** » Sat Mar 22, 2014 2:43 pm

You mean the logo of the game? If so thanks. I didn't use much time to make it either. I've requested Cloud to make me another one soon as he has time, but that was like 5 months ago.

But I've some news to deliver about the Double Cherry. Most of you are disappointed over that the Double Cherry is dead, me too. So I decided to revive it. But don't get too exited! It will only appear in one of the DLC Packs of the game, in ONE stage. Nothing else. So yeah that's it. Later...

Kingbowser112 · Postby **Kingbowser112** » Sat Mar 22, 2014 6:52 pm

YESSSSSSS! I'M VERY HAPPY! So we can see again the Double Cherry at work! Well, I liek this news.
However yeah, I wanted mean own the Logo of the Game.
