Thank you a lot for the comment! I'm glad you're hype for this! Now that you mention this, yes my projects generally have stars (for some reason), I think they make the game more interesting. =P

I don't see why not! however, I think I haven't seen any written review made by you (last time was only video-testing), this time I would prefer a written review because is easier for me fix the errors. Can you please send me an example review? I will talk with you via PM if that's ok. :)

Glad you like it! I could tell you what is this, but I prefer to keep the surprise for the beta, I hope I can include this Mega Mole properly because it is something... -glitchy- in the level.

Thank you for the comment, Ludwig! I'm glad you liked specially Dry Dry Stronghold, I worked very hard on that level. ^^
ShadowStarX wrote:Oh, those screens look really nice! (as usual)
I see only flawless stuff, both in atmosphere and general design.
I'm excited to play the first beta! :)
Thank you so much for the comment! :D and I'm glad you're looking forward to the first beta, I just have to finish the cave level and the first beta will be finished! (Also I need work something in the world map, I will try to send the first beta this weekend.

Thank you for the comment! by the way now that you mention it, I'm considering publish a demo version of this, however, I have not yet made a decision. I will probably do a poll in the future or something, although it is too early to think about it I guess. =P

Just in time, I was need a beta tester more. I've seen some reviews made by you in the forum so I know your type of work. Welcome to the team!
The W1 is almost-done, all the levels of the first world are done, I just need make the World Map (I don't think it took me a long time), and this is unlikely to end canceled I will try to not (it's funny because so many people says that). =P
BTW I don't need more beta testers, I think with my current team is more than enough, thanks to everyone.
After hard work, the first world is already completely done! I decided not to release any demo and release the full game. I'm starting with World 2 and I have some ideas in mind, here are some screenshots of my work so far:
I also made a support bar, if you liked this project and you want to show your support, please put this in your signature! it would help a lot and would be really appreciated, copy & past this code in your signature!

Yes! I'm planing to use this level to the semi-last level in the World 2 because it's a bit difficult and long, I will probably make some changes there. Thanks for the comment!
Ludwig von Koopa wrote:Your new screens look really good. I love the amount of aesthetical detail you're putting into this project. Good job!
Thank you! I'm glad your liked them. Yes I'm putting a lot of effort in all the levels, I will give my best effort in this project! :)
Thank you for the comment ShadowStar! I'm glad you're looking forward to the next beta, I have half world-done so I hope this don't take me much time. (PD: Sorry for the little delay on reply =P)
I'd like to announce that I decided make use for LunaLua for the episode from now! I was planning this since I started with the development, however I don't wanted the player require a "extra-stuff" to play this. With the announcing of SMBX 2.0, I'm pretty sure LunaLua will be more common in computers, and for the people who still have SMBX 1.3 install this is really easy so I'm not worried about that.
What I have in mind is use this for the challenge levels (I'm not pretty sure if I will implement this...), make some experiments with the playables, add custom song effects, custom world map music, use the starman and probably, make something similar to the Switch Palace! (I have some other ideas in mind that I will reveal later). So since this moment, LunaLua will be required for play the next progress or you will die at the start on the level. =P
I hope this make more interesting and enjoyable the episode. Thanks everyone for you attention. :)
About the level, I was inspired a bit on a level from old "Super Mario Legends" (the first version that was canceled). I remember there was a level that I liked so much I wanted to do one like it using the trick of the sections and making a confusing level, so I did this level! Was really hard make these lot of things in a small section, I also used the 21 sections (but not all were shown in the video) Tell me what do you think, it would be really appreciated!
Did one of my beta testers sent me a message the day the forum fell? I remember when I joined that day, I got a private message... I was going to check it, but when the page automatically re-directed me to the board index the message had disappeared! I worry a bit that the message could have been a review of the W1, if the person who sent me a message that day could contact me, would be fantastic! Thanks.
That's a really cool exploratory level!
And unlike other 'non-linear' levels it doesn't feel redundant.
Well done, more people should use things like the kuribo shoe.

Well.
That message was indeed from a beta tester, me to be exact. But it wasn't a message with the reviews
It was a message with the information that the reviewing would take longer then originally planned because of Christmas and new year.
I just assumed you took the information and decided not to reply.
I love the new level. The design is great, the npc placement is great, the aesthetics are awesome. I do think that the secrets could have been better indicated though. I mean, IK they're secrets, but there should be some kind of hint or something such as a few coins or bgo placement or something like that. I noticed that you used a hint with the springboards for one of the star coins, but there are some that are only found if you randomly run into it by chance. I just think they could be better indicated. Aside from that, the level is awesome.

Thank you for the comment! And I apologize for the late reply. :(
I'm glad the level doesn't feel redundant, I was worried if the level get too confusing, long or bored.

Interesting, finally I know who and why sent that PM. =P
In that case, don't worry! I understand you're busy, specially on these days (I also have been busy lately...) I never got see the PM though. Take your time with the reviews, anyway I haven't worked on the project in these days (I'm taking an small break), so I think it isn't really important. Thanks for let me know.

Thank you a lot for the compliments! About the secrets, well, I tried to make this level with many secrets as I could (this level have secret exit BTW, I didn't show it in the video... Suspense!) but I like your suggestion, I guess some places where too confusing, I will add some signs but I will try to not make the Star Coins too easy to get. About the Star Coin with the springboard, well, it's the only springboard what can be moved for other section, the other entrances doesn't allows NPCs, or they're not chargeable because they're into the ground. =P (sorry I miss understood you on this part)
Thank you for the suggestion!
I have bad news, this project is canceled (it's funny when the first page of comments says "I hope this not end canceled").
Everything went quite well when I started, each and every one of the levels had been planned very carefully, I had enough time and inspiration for make levels, but something totally unexpected happened, SMBX 1.4.1 has been announced. From this point I have not worked anything in my project and neither will I do because I want to focus on SMBX 1.4.2, follow the future progress there and focus in my YouTube channel too. I have a lot of plans for this version and I do not think I will play SMBX 1.3 in these days. I'm extremely grateful with the beta testers who did a splendid job and helped me a lot, really I thank to you guys for the time and patience, I regret that what is just starting end this way. Also I thank to everyone who supported this project!
About the levels, I don't know what to do with them. I do not want to release even as a future occasion could use them (or maybe at some point I could release all of my unused levels on general forum). However if you are interested on using one of my levels for your project, feel totally free to send me a PM, I would like what someone else give a good use of the work I've done so far.
Can someone please lock this? I really apologize guys, I'm tired of having to cancel projects.
