2017 Kaizo Level Design Contest (Discussion)

Link Thread Closed
I like the idea with Piranha Plant race. It makes underrated vertical levels more fun. Although you need to tweak your palettes cause the bright red FG and BG don't look pleasant.

e:
this is kind of like the tutorial of sorts. will probably only make up the first 1/3rd or so.

ask me if i give a f*ck...
Uh idol, you didn't have to put my screenshot in a spoiler. That doesn't make sense
My Mode 0 guide.

My Discord server. It has a lot of archived ASM stuff, so check that out!

It does because the judges don't want to see them until after judging.
Windowless ride, feeling alive
Are you alive or just breathing?
This makes sense, indeed.

Also a random question: Is L/R screen-scrolling gonna be disabled for levels where it's not needed?

Depends on the level. Maybe not, but we'll see when we start compiling them.

My laptop is having... Problems. First, it was no internet save google/YouTube/gmail. Then those stopped working. Now I have no internet at all, even though it says I am connected. I am writing this post on my phone. However, I cannot submit a level like this. So, even though the beta is done, hardware issues means I can't bring it for testing.

JOY.

EDIT: ok, it's working... for now.

BETA version! Give it a try!

Usually, the dotted line blocks stop a coin train, so that might be visually confusing, but otherwise it's looking good.

Can't say I've seen the piranha plant used like that before, creative.

Somehow multi-midway 1.6 is easier to insert than multi-midway settings, and the end of that first segment seems like a good place.
I doubt I'd have the patience to take it from the top savestateless, so maybe I'll think of it piece by piece.

I'm joining the Kaizo Contest as well. My level isn't ready yet though. I plan mines to be REALLY tough!

The design in my level will be more "obstacle course"-based than puzzle based.

I like this concept. I've never seen something like that before. I was thinking of adding Fatal Chase in my level, but I thought not.

This may be great. But keep in mind it should be kaizo: light difficulty

like the idea a lot, but my man you gotta indicate it in some way to the player. especially if it's just going to change speed without warning. Like the whole point is to play without savestates then the pattern basically turns your level into trial and error, and THAT'S NO GOOD
Maybe exanimate a palette colour a few frames before the player has to jump/be on the ground or something




eh, i thought i'd like this more than i ended up. idk if its gonna stay, probably not.

Actually there is a mechanism above the screen. Maybe I could lower it to the visible part, but it might require some adjustments.

Are we allowed to use a 6.5 kb exgfx file that seems to be needed for multiple color animation (source)?
I don't know if that causes any problem with collab stuff, because I'm using that for the first time ever and there don't seem to be a limited number of 6.5 kb exgfx files you can insert into the rom using the methode in the tutorial.

@everybody
really nice stuff you all made!
But an indication for the kill sound would be nice in your level, sokobansolver
