Super Mario Bros. X Forums

(Sorry for shitty logo, this was my first one ever. Credits goes to: BMASTANTOS for the font.)

Information:
This is my third attempt at making an episode since I've been here (Which was in 2009) since the second one died off after I switched computers. This episode is also a collaborative effort that me and Ness-Wednesday put together early last week and i though, I might aswell post this on the forums because who knows, we might get more help.

Story:
Its just your normal Mario adventure, right?.

Team:
Level designers:

Worlds (Worlds do not have a proper theme, just 4 levels made with similar themes going through them)
World 1: Grass (Obviously) 100%
World 2: Haunted 40%
World 3: Some sort of canyon/mountain/sky 20%
World 4: 0%

We have only started the first two worlds so far, maybe there will be more than four worlds, but most likely with the current team, stick to four.

ScreenShots: (These are the only ones I got that doesn't have the entire level in them, so some screens could be empty, but now they are not, but the part of the levels should still be the same except a few npcs and stuff) Download: Credits: (If you see anything that I havent got in this list, dont get all mad and shit post, just fuckin tell me civily please.)

READ: And you never know, this project could reveal the twisted and dark plot to my next episode (And I mean dark as in messed up lol)...

I think you should change the background in the first level to something that has more clouds so the rest of the stage wont have a blue bland boring background

I went over this in the discord chat, when you play the actual level, it doesn't do that, its that the level is big vertically and the background doesn't like it on the editor, that's all.

Two marios in the logo?

Oops. My bad then

Why not
UPDATE: I have finished the world one levels, so if you want a demo of world one, then I would suggest looking at the poll and voting (It won't be a large world since it is the starter and the levels won't be that long either, but the other worlds will have larger levels). But, I need to do either a world map or a hub so, be patient if the world one demo gets chosen.
P.S: Just so you know, there will only be one demo, so if you want a demo with two worlds, then so be it. Just be careful because if you vote only world one, that's everyone's demo that they will get untill full release unless the project gets bigger.

Another update:
-Added screenshot of the HUB for now if world 1 demo gets released.

Can I be a beta-tester?

Of world 2 onwards sure.

I suggest you keep a standard level length. Longer levels tend to end up in repetition if not carefully thought about it, which will reduce the fun factor. Only make longer levels if you know what to do throughout your level to keep the player engaged or you will scare players away.

I meant world ones levels are pretty short and the longer ones are only 2+ mins long depending on if this project expands or not.

Oh. Ok then, nevermind what I said. =P

Update:
Added the progression percentage of each world to the main post, now you can stalk the project's progress with all your weird needs.

NOTE: I just need to say, if you want to make a video or few of this episode, I would like it to be commentated or have a review in the description since it would help me out allot, thank you.
UPDATE: looks like there is going to be a world 2 demo then, wont be long and it will be out, give us about a week or two.

UPDATE:
Added 2 new screenshots (not nudes you dirty perverted fuck), another one will be added when Ness sends me a screenshot of one of his levels.

IzIcy wrote:not nudes you dirty perverted fuck

okay.

levels look nice, i like that gray hub level and the first one. the second screenshots need more BGOs in that staircase area. not a fan of screen 3. only coins and that's all, but many coins, why not remove some? (that coin placement bugs me too). screen 4 is great and has no errors. the last one has some weird coin placement at some areas.
so far i like your project and your unique level design idea, where the player can explore up and down, right and left and discover stuff by himself, not only going one way and avoiding obstacles.

(logo needs merio and loekhe not merio and merio)

Thank you.

Remember, these screens are slightly outdated, all of what you mentioned above were fixed with the finished level if you play the demo.

Update:
-Another 2 screenshots, I don't know what is going on here, the first new screenshot is one of Ness_Wednesday's and the other one (mountain one) is my new one that I am working on as I speak! Please leave feedback!
-Updated progress bar
-Poll is now endless, vote away peasants.

UPDATE:
-Added new screenshot You can guess what the level is if you go to the level forums
-Updated the Progress bar!
-Updated story

EDIT:
I need beta testers since the one I currently have still hasn't got back to me with the level that I sent him over a month ago.

Lol, the entire story just says that it's a normal Mario adventure. That's probably what will make me play this the most.

Man, what is that beta tester doing to take so long with your levels? Anyways, I would've wanted to be a beta tester, but right now I've got my hands full with other levels from projects that need testing and judging. I might be able to if I can test just a couple of them.
