Super Mario Bros. X Forums

Take your time good sir.

Hello all, I have completed an update that makes it so demo 4 is now compatible with Beta 5, as well as A LOT of bug fixes and changes were made when updating and have decided to split the update so that I can see if I missed anything while working towards Demo 5!

Note: The following levels were updated to beta 5, but are WIP as there is intentions to change them:
Wintersnow Village
Forest Ruins
Boarding the Koopa Fleet

hey dragonfan96 I just realized you've been working on this project for about 10 years. Now that's what I call dedication. Can't wait to see how it will turn out!

There's been some breaks here and there but, yeah, I'm still going strong on trying to design something simple, fun, and tells a good story

I host a discord for the project and have a channel in a sub-discord of SMBX "Episodes and Projects" where I show progress and teasers at what i'm working on currently.

I'm always looking for feedback, or any bugs you find

Updated the project with a quickfix on some issues within the prologue and world 1 of BDP, and a huge thank you to Prism for catching these bugs!
Latest update and changelogs is posted (version 4.5.1)

I swore I fixed that bug, it's using the new Beta 5 Lakitu Spawner, and I think I might know what level that is too..
I'll work on fixing that

Looking forward to seeing how this turns out! Keep up the good work, and don't give up! It's almost unbelievable honestly, that you're still here after all these years.

there's been some ups and downs throughout the lifespan of this project, but it's also a good outlet to channel creativity into designing something fun, unique, and also gives me something to do in my pass time. my goals for v4 have been improving the quality of the project, telling a good story, and also come up with some unique design ideas of some gimmicks you don't often see (such as wall-jumping off beat blocks, or the many uses MDA's swinging platforms, which is now a base NPC in beta 5, has) I do, at some point need to update what BDP v4 is showcasing as some of the screenshots shown don't reflect the changes made, in fact, they were taken when their release debuted, and never updated (I'll do that for when Demo 5.0 rolls around)

(Bit of a tiny little update (not to break from the quote, or to self-bump) The lakitu throwing lakitu's bug in Mushroom Valley Secret 1, (and i want to say there's one in Mushroom Valley 5? will be replaced with just a regular lakitu instead of the spawner NPC(beta 5) as it seems to not cooperate with me when playtesting)

Hi dragonfan96!

I hope you're doing well. I recently found your project "Bowser's Dark Plan" and it really caught my attention!

I was wondering... has the development stopped, or is it still in progress? I'm genuinely curious, and I truly hope everything is going great for you.

Wishing you the best!

Hey there, Updates to Bowser's Dark plan is going smoothly, I've been working on a major bug fix, Demo 4.6.0 with a ton of fixes thanks to Halica and their playthrough of what BDP has to offer so far along with any bug fixes that'd need changed or any changes that would be better in levels open to players.

I am currently mid-World 3, almost world 4 in bug fixing currently and, If you, or anyone else interested, I have a project discord, as well as a channel in the Projects & Episodes Discord of SMBX run by I believe SetaYoshi? don't quote me on that..

I don't exactly have an expected date on when i'll have a release but I keep up-to-date on Discord on progress and use the forums for sharing the finished version and go back and do hotfixes as needed if it's something critical that was overlooked or new

Alright, no problem my friend. Take your time with the development, you and your team .

Just a small note: I noticed a minor issue with the white pipe, maybe you should recheck how it was placed.
