JDCGames Collaboration 2: Cancelled

Standard

Thank you for the comments.

Yeah, I sorta realised that the level seemed like it might be out castling 0F, while 0F did look more ruin-y. I hope the creator doesn't mind.

The main reason why the level is lacking right now is because this is still mostly WIP, and the way I make levels is: have a really basic outline, then test, see if it works, continue level, then when the level design is mostly solid, put in detail (which is what I recommend you do for all your levels, or heck, everything; it really does work. Just ask any artist.)

Anyway, since I'll be needing extra tiles later, could I claim the next three rows down from what I've intentionally claimed?

I'd recommend you claim a whole new page, really.

This mushroom at the far right is kinda weird-coloured, it doesn't seem to fit to the rest of the level at all :S

Other than that, the level design looks ... fun? :D

Currently working on: nothing *eyes roll*
I'm not dead yet! *appear like Gundam Exia*
My level.
Although the level looks nice, I think I'd rather see an IPS at this point Lord Pokey to see how the level plays out as well.
...I have to at least show some kind of progress:


Sorry for lacking progress, but I was kind of running out of ideas. Well now that I have more inspiration, I can work on this and a few other levels again. I also won't be here for a few days because I have to go to my grandmothers so we can have a family meeting.
Want progress on 100 Rooms of Enemies: The Nightmare Edition? Go here to see.

(rip my other userbars momentarily)

Great palette castle! No bugs! I enjoyed! #smw{^_^}
Looks pretty good Daizo. Is the tosxic water on layer 2 here?
They are in both layer 1 and layer 2.

Also both in Layer 1 or Layer 2?
Sorry for the lack of progress, again. I pretty much forgot I still have to work on this. Here's the progress of today. I promise I'll post more the following week. We're close to the midway btw.

E: Ignore the cutoff on the ceiling. I forgot to decrease the Z order of that dirt.
I also have some progress. Just passed the midway point. Sorry about the slow progress guys!

@Oh Hell No: Looks pretty cool so far =). Might just be me being picky, but I think the grass palette could do with being a touch darker.

@Jonny: Looks awesome, I like what you've done with the lava. I'm looking forward to seeing this one complete. =)




Also, I have a bit of progress to show too on my level. =)



I've started using more brickwork to decorate the level now.



Some kind of secret down that pipe maybe? =P
@Mr Esc
Whew! That looks pretty epic. Nice atmosphere!
Ow, and which grass palette do you mean? The BG or FG?

Moar progress!

Link!
Managed to finish my level for now, yeah. I'm going to post an IPS.
Completed level.

Here's the IPS file.

@Jonny: I like it. I love how you've hid the dragon coin at the top there. Keep up the good work.

@Oh Hell No: Looks epic. =) Just a question, but are you sure the dragon coin there is reachable with the bouncing koopa near the midway?

@MrEsc - Looks good so far! You seem to have the right sort of mood for your level going there, which is good. =)

@Lord Pokey:
There are a few errors with the level though most of them are quite minor.

Problems
Level 102
-Firstly, at every instance an upside down slope is placed on the ceiling, I can "jump" inside it into the ceiling. I'd recommend you replace these upside down slopes with normal corner tiles. The non-steep slopes seem to work fine though, which is odd.
-I'd recommend the walkthroughable tiles on level 102, screen 4 should have the layer priority turned off.
-The dirt tile just about the walkthroughable dirt isn't solid meaning I can jump "inside" that section.
-Maybe just me, but the pipe at screen 7 seems a little strange to me.
Sublevel 3B
-This sublevel is already claimed by MrEsc. That's not much of a problem though as it's easy to transfer.
-seems to be a little Big Mario Discrimination at screen 3. I'd recommend to raise the ceiling a little here.
-Quite major slowdown from screens 7 to A

Review
I quite like the aesthetics in this level. It's vastly different to the ones seen in the other W4 levels which is good as that way we'll have a variety of level atmospheres. Your level design remains consistent throughout as well as the sprite choices, which is another thing I often like. There's just a few minor gameplay issues to be fixed, though they aren't anything major. As for now, your level deserves:
88%
As I would like to do something more for this project, I thought of making a preview trailer of this Hack maybe? Ist could be uploaded to SMWCentralnet Youtube-Channel... What do you think? :)

That sounds good. =) I was going to make a trailer a while ago but couldn't get adequate music for it. =/

Would you be willing to do this? =) If so, PM me and I'll give you some requirements and stuff for it.

Tutorial on how to get the third Yoshi Coin in Level 10A
- First, get a throw block
- Fall down and use the springboard to get on the same height as the turn blocks
- Throw the throw block against the turn blocks and squeeze through them
- Get the yoshi coin and follow the alternate path I set up for this.

I made sure you can't get into that by using the springboard thingie :D
Oh my gosh im sorry ive totally forgotton about this ahh

Well, im still stuck with no ideas on how to finish off my level. I'm planning to have it transition into the next level through a sublevel, but i have no ideas for it. I was going to wait for the next base rom to take a look at the proceeding level, but....

#smw{^_^;}

Don't worry, i will get this level done sometime.
Later.
