From all TI2 "remakes" I've seen, this is one of the most promising stuff.
Definitely gives the vibe of the OG TI2 by looking at the screenshots.

[Emral]

it really misses the point of everything ti2 is but it's quite a fun romp when played over screenshare with friends. feels like something from a different dimension, which is really interesting! the walljump makes movement without yoshi or held item nigh intolerable, but still it's probably in my top 3 of the invasion 2 remake attempts (number 1 is the japanese ti3 demo and number 2 is another tiny thing nobody knows). i think my main criticism is that all changed level names are downgrades.

[Prismarine]

Great! a remake of a reamake of a episode! still, good job! keep the good work up :D

Off-topic but.
Is there a site where Japanese SMBX episodes are available with European and American IP addresses?

[PizzaNoob]

This is lovely, can’t wait to play.

I guess you're right! I'll try to make adjustments to improve this remake/remaster for you guys. Thanks for the suggestion!

[Emral]

i think its alternate reality feeling is very charming in a way. trying to remaster the invasion 2 is a futile effort in itself, so i encourage you to get weirder with it and make it your own.

The World 4 demo is almost complete. I just have to make tweaks and fixes, and it'll be ready soon.

[Doodoxing]

Looks very good! I like the well known concept of various graphics styles from TI2 as well as new HUD which looks so modern.

About the HUD, I'm planning on changing the HUD to look more legacy-ish. The HUD didn't really have that much "flare" in my opinion. Still, I'm glad you like it so far!

[Doodoxing]

What exactly changes do you plan to implement into HUD?

What exactly changes do you plan to implement into HUD?

I'm currently using the hudCreator.lua script by Marioman2007. I'm just gonna make the HUD a little more simplified and better. That's all.

Here is a new sneak-peek of the new HUD (Kind of outdated) and the revamped 1-1:

[Doodoxing]

Yea, looks much better in my opinion.
Also, I love the new woodland tileset. It plays very well with overall appearance of Super Easy Road level.

Looks a little odd, like his neck extends whenever he slides against the wall. Other than that, it looks good!

I took a closer look at the sprite, and I don't really see anything wrong with it...

It just looks a little off in my opinion, that's all. If you like it, then leave it, it is your project after all.
