Southern cross update:

I sent what I would consider a baseline serviceable version of the full song to OP so he could include it in case he wanted to post an update for this thread, but for anyone curious:

>>8620734
Honestly a pretty fantastic port. Great work.
The bridge between the second part to the ending climax sounds a little rough but its a bitch of a song, Its such a long ass song and I am sure it gave you a ton of shit to even manage so again its still fantastic.

>>8620734
The port came out great, it's been added to the baserom.
And to the anon who edited the super training port, that's been inserted too.

>>8620593
>>8620596
A final baserom will be dropped by the end of the thread and I'll have a release date by then.

Missed the last couple days of last thread so I feel like responding to this now.

Booster/Moot Party guy still checkin in, hoping this shit gets done. Kinda bummed this has gone on so long because I could've probably promised more if I knew I had MONTHS of extra time to do it, but for /v/orld 3 I basically only did my 1 level and ASM for the weird item shop's effects. Its hurt my hype a little only being able to contribute one level (even if I do get the honor of the penultimate spot).

I had early concepts for a star-world level that involved porting a condensed version of Red up till Brock, beating the Gym meant clearing the level. I wanted to learn how to do Menus and such better so I figured this would be a great place to force myself to learn it, but I only reserved one level because I didn't think I'd have enough time for two.

>>8621465
In fairness, the Booster trio of levels are pretty great and moot party is unironically one of the best levels of all three hacks.

>>8620734
Soul. All that's left now is just the final boss and special world puzzle right?

>>8620734
Very soulful port. The only things I noticed is that there is a small break point in the song at 1:15 which sounds a little bit off, and the note pitch at 1:53 is wrong. The notes going higher at 1:54 should be slightly lower. I'm not a music expert, so I hope you can understand what I mean. The rest is simply amazing. Good shit anon.

>>8621506
and the port of adventure's end, but yes, it looks like we'll finally get a build that you can play from beginning to end

>>8621904
I think Adventure's End was replacing by Super Training for time.

>>8620734
I think it's pretty excellent. Good instrument sample choice and just sounds really nice. But I agree with >>8621643 that there are some small issues, mainly some of the notes being off and the somewhat abrupt high octave of the fast piano. I also don't hear any bass, unless it's very quiet. And to make it flow better into the loop, I suggest you add an extra "tap" at the end. Something like this:
https://files.catbox.moe/r6uvzo.ogg
Excellent work overall. It's a very challenging song, and I know that the final version will be truly eargasmic.

>>8620734
Can you post the mml? I/some other Anons may want to tweak it to make some parts sound better (unless you plan to.)

>>8620734
Righteous. How long do /vr/ threads last again? Dying to play the final baseROM.

>>8621480
I only played v/3, but Booster Mountain is one of my favorites. really good stuff mechanically and aesthetically, and the extra challenge made it even better. that was quite a gauntlet to get through, but I got both exits eventually.

>>8621506
also a couple Star World exits, overworld fixes, and minor level fixes (most of which I submitted). just recently I noticed the starman palette glitch from vanilla is present in Bender's Big Score, but that should be an easy fix.

>>8622240
two weeks

>>8620568
played first world, much more customized than V2, great ost play but some songs play too much as songs and not much as ambient to the game.

First castle was much more chill than in v2

oh yea, forgot to mention. along with my level edits, I included an alternative to the special world puzzle, where there's a blitz of enemies and goal orb in the final room of Bender. I thought that would be a fun way to handle it. even if that doesn't make the final cut, it should at least be included in the next baserom so you don't have to go into LM just to access Special Zone. maybe you can include my room along with the new puzzle, that'd be cool.

>>8621089
yea, it doesn't work on snes9x. retroarch higan does fine for me.

>>8620903
Is the BTFO resprite going to be in? It would unironically make this hack 11/10.

hey i was tryin to play /v/orld 2 the other day on muh hacked 3DS and was having some issues
was wondering if any of you guys have ever tried to run it on 3DS before?
if so what emu/settings did you use?

for reference i was using the 3DS SNES9x port
at first it was wigging out and trying to save to SRAM every other second so after i told it to fuck off and stop doing that it seemed fine. it loaded up the titlescreen fine, i hit start and it did the little intro with the textbox.
then the problems started
after the intro screen, the screen becomes completely black, then the "hurry up ur almost outta time" sfx played, and then nothing. no button inputs work, nothing happens. only way out is hard reset

i dont doubt its some issue with the emu, but i just wondered if anyone else ever ran into this

>>8620734
Came out amazing.

>>8622994
Spooky...

>>8623130
yea
anytime glitches have perfectly fitting sfx to go along with the crash its pretty spooky

>>8620903
Will the cutscenes you promised be in the next baserom?

>>8620568
based

>>8620903
Looking good. Is that the new puzzle?

>>8622994
>3DS SNES9x port
I've never used this personally, but it looks like it's based on a pretty old version of SNES9x, I am sure you're having problems because of /v/2 using the SA1 chip. It runs on newer versions of SNES9x just fine (The Wii port of SNES9x is based on a newer version and I played it through to the end there)

i forgot to make any fanart but woooooooo new baserom Soon:tm:

I wish I can draw human more accurately

Pretty good. Just needs a bit more accuracy on the arms. Try the Figure Drawing book on /ic/'s sticky or here: http://alexhays.com/loomis/. Those helped me a bit.

/v/-tan if SM/v/3 got cancelled at last minute

Almost done polishing playable characters. Ayamari got redesigned. I hope I can get feedback to certain sprites.

they're still being added it's just gonna be in an update because of delays

>>8625426
>>8622532
hopefully these things will be added.
also, forgot to mention: the switch room of green switch palace changed. I approve of the longer drop, but why'd you take away the marijuana leaf sprites? those should stay in, and would fit in on the wooden shelves. also, someone said that they were working on putting Top Man MM3 tiles in there, hopefully that happens.

>>8626917
just the btfo sprite, the rest is bloat

>>8627270
wouldn't call it bloat, just ways to polish further, although not strictly necessary. I agree that the BTFO is a must.

>>8627275
I'm cool with the lion face getting in

>>8626917
>but why'd you take away the marijuana leaf sprites? those should stay in, and would fit in on the wooden shelves. also, someone said that they were working on putting Top Man MM3 tiles in there, hopefully that happens.
tileset limitations

also I can't be assed

>>8626917
I'm not the anon who was working on the MM3 Top Man tileset, but if that anon is not here I could help out. The tileset in MM3 looks better than the one in Wily Wars, mainly because the glass reflection obstructs the leaves seen inside the floor. Should the switch palace tileset be replaced entirely in favor of the new tileset?

>>8627421
oh, should've guessed. that's fine then.

>>8627423
>Should the switch palace tileset be replaced entirely in favor of the new tileset?
I don't think so, I'd rather keep the color stripes for every switch palace. my concept was to add it as a complement to the current architecture, eg add it inside solid areas, or change certain parts of the level, etc.
of course, this depends on whether it's feasible to do this, or whether it would be too difficult to work with the tileset or add it as an object. if it's not worth the trouble I won't insist, just thought it would be a cool addition.
I can't find my original post for w/e reason. I don't know if it was ever actively worked on, I just remember an anon saying that it's happening or is planned.
btw, hope you don't mind my input, I just want to contribute as much as I can, and it's one of my favorite levels.

>>8627421
should've known, that's fine.

>>8627423
I don't know if it was being actively worked on, I just remember an anon telling me it was planned, or would happen.
I think all switch palaces should have their color stripes, so I wouldn't want a complete switchover. I was thinking of adding it as extra decoration, or converting parts of the level (eg the final area). but if it's too difficult then it doesn't matter. just thought it would be cool, that's all.

>>8627535
>>8627596
It wouldn't be difficult but I don't really want to go back into the level just to change a single end part. Its just more shit for OP to have to deal with and the level is fine as is.
Plus any tileset changes means having to change not only the level, but any other levels which also use said tileset, like the /v/inale level which uses it.

>>8627613
It shouldn't be very hard to make, but it will require a bit of work to replace the switch place tiles to the new tileset. All that needs to be done besides that is make a Map16 page and rip the tileset and draw custom tiles for the slopes which shouldn't be very hard to do. It's entirely up to you.

>>8627613
yea, I understand. like I thought it would be cool to add greenhouse leaves inside of solid areas, or by the pipe, or for the final area. you could also switch over the whole thing, but idk. I assume that big portrait at the end ate up a fair amount of the tileset, and I'm assuming that makes it impossible to add tiles without editing ones in use. as you said, the level is good enough currently, and OP is probably swamped, and there's higher priority changes to make, so I won't push it any further.
as for higher priority: Bender's has the starman graphical glitch left over from vanilla, I've got a good alternate text for red switch palace, and the tricky treasure exit should open another path leading back to parabeetles. anons willing to help might be better off tackling those issues, which I can elaborate on.
the only reason I don't do it all myself is because I'm an amateur. the batches of .mwl edits are as much as I can do without git'n gud.

I got stuck on Bender's Big Score after I put the goal orb in. I can't progress for some reason.

>>8628193
Looks like you activated the exit after, you probably put the secret goal instead of the normal goal

>>8628193

>>8627730
>>8627790
Art anon here.
Not worth the hassle for OP.
When OP lets me know he's doing the update patch, i'll do it then. But I also like the normal switch palace tileset as it is.
All edits should be focused on gamebreaking and progression, not aesthetics.

>>8628373

can any veteran smw hack player say if this hack has good level design?

>>8628495
all three /v/orld hacks have a mixed bag of level design since you got people making levels for the first time, people who already have some lunar magic experience, some bleedover from smwc vets, some bleedover from the last /v/ hack.

/v/1 has the more vanilla levels with only a few asm levels, and even then those asm are custom made.
/v/2 has alot more of a blend of vanilla and custom shit from smwc and other romhack resources.
/v/3 has a ton of levels which use smwc elements as well as full on custom asm and custom gimmicks.
each hack also has had level's BTFO for being too low quality, stuff like Flight School from /v/1 and Magma Diver from /v/3, but you still get a few bullshit levels like Platform Peril.

You can def beat /v/1 and /v/2 and /v/3 without savestates since the anons who enable retries know when to put it, there is still some jank but its most comparable to hacks like VIP and some parts of JUMP/YUMP

>>8620571
thanks doc

>>8628540
thanks for elaborating, anon
one more thing - just for scale, how would you compare each of the three /v/ smw hacks to the best that smw hacking has to offer (i've been out of the loop for quite some time but the last time i was into playing smw romhacks i recall the scene peaking with smw2+3, the second reality project reloaded 1 and 2 and a handful of others which i forgot, maybe there are some new top tier hacks now that overshadowed those old ones, i don't know)

>>8628571
They're more comparable to both VIP (First 4 and maybe a few levels from 5) and JUMP/YUMP than any other hacks.
Being Collab hacks the quality, difficulty and length of each level will vary

Most levels don't really get low quality outside of the few levels which are obviously 'Babies first Lunar Magic level' but they honestly feel charming, and when a level is great, its really fucking great.

Difficulty however is a major divider. You need to start with /v/1 because the late game levels in that game give you a taste for how hard /v/2 and /v/3 get. Its never anything boarderline TAS Kaizo tier but you get some levels which will really fuck you up. Anon's will laugh but save states are fine if you need them.

>>8628443
lmao

>>8628495
If by good level design, you mean getting kicked in the balls every subscreen, then yes, you'll love this hack. It's fun. If you haven't played a collab hack before, you should try /v/1 first, since it's the easiest.

>>8628797
not a veteran by the way, but I've been playing a bunch of them lately

>>8628609
>>8628571
>Difficulty however is a major divider. You need to start with /v/1 because the late game levels in that game give you a taste for how hard /v/2 and /v/3 get.

Yeah, seconding using save states or even rewinds towards the end of /v/2; it definitely deserved a Kaizo Lite tag.
The crazy thing is that different players have problems with different parts; one streamer simply couldn't beat my finale room while another did it in one try.

>>8628495
I've played a few hacks before the /v/orld series, like Super Mario Odyssey and Luigi's Adventure, among others. With /v/orld 3, I can tell that the authors put thought into the designs of all these levels, even the ones that I'm not a big fan of, and I love the sheer amount of variety that's on display. The wacky gimmick levels that mess with the mechanics are also good fun, with March of the Mootykins and CONCEPTION being especially surprising. They follow the good design rule of introducing a mechanic and building upon it with progressively more challenging obstacles.

>>8620903
1. You better fucking deliver op or I will rape you with a bullet bill while fishing boos laugh at you.
2. Is the screenshot something I should save juuuust in case it's needed for a puzzle?

>>8628540
>Magma Diver got cut.
Pain

>>8628540
I think Flight School was from /v/2. It was also called Flappy Moot. The guy kept nerfing it but people still kept shitting on it until the OP cut it for not being fun.

>>8628495
Idk what you mean by "veteran smw hack", but I enjoyed a lot of romhacks in my youth like VIP Mario 4, VIP 5, The Essence Star, Mario Adventure for NES, etc. I'd say yeah it has good level design, but some levels have poor concept of difficulties like overused Power-Up Filters, overused Chargin' Chads, and overused sawblades, but in some levels, they're justified like Moot Boy.

>>8628382
that's fine, as I said, there's higher priority stuff. just wanted to test the waters on something that could potentially be cool, that's all.

>All edits should be focused on gamebreaking and progression, not aesthetics.
that's true, although there are easier aesthetic improvements that could be made. I'll bring that up again later.

>>8629857
>aesthetic improvements
If by aesthetic, you mean "sprite redesigning", then I could give it a shot for ya. Although I'm not sure which needs editing or polishing.

OP please fucking give a new baserom so the idea guys will shut the fuck up

>>8629917
This. No more changes to levels that aren't even yours.

>>8629932
>le may may frog from le may may department

>>8629948

He's right, but he didn't have to use that disgusting cancer to say it.

>>8629991
Just what do you have against frogs

>>8630005
They're green.

>>8629917
>>8629932
I'm fine with leaving green switch palace as is, I was just asking. feel free to forget I mentioned it.

>>8629871
I assume you're only on the sprite/art side, so I'm not sure if this is within scope. but on Bender, the reserve Starman has a color palette glitch, left over from vanilla. from tcrf: "There is even a routine that specifically checks for the Starman item ID (03) and cycles the colors appropriately, though it appears to use incorrect palette values (00 02 04 02). Shifting each value left by one bit (00 04 08 04) fixes this."

>>8628382
At such a late point in development, we shouldn't risk messing anything up by inserting a bunch of map16 tiles.

>>8630903
another good point. I was thinking of taking the whole thing on myself by inserting the topman tiles, then working them into parts of the level (like near the subscreen exits). but yea, major glitches at this point, that's not worth the risk. and as another anon said, the Grand /v/inale (and maybe other levels) use that tileset, which complicates matters.
I still think it would be a cool thing, but I guess it's not feasible. there's bigger fish to fry anyway

/vr/ threads were a mistake

>>8631094
you're welcome

>>8629352
at least it was referenced on the boss rush entrance (which is unfinished). I never played it, but I heard it was a shitpost.

>>8629332
when in doubt, save.

>>8629352
It was a bad level.
>it was ironically bad
that makes it even worse.

>>8630903
>Something fucks up
>Restore to previous Version
>Just Remap

Of all the stupid delays with the great idea anons and the characters who made that poll useless this one doesn't sound as tedious and time consuming

>>8631306
appreciate your input, fren. I tried to approach this cautiously, since at least one anon has been salty over my posts, but ultimately I'm trying to contribute like anyone else.
on the map16 tileset for green switch palace: I assume all those 'bricks' are empty, and I can put new tiles in? I think I can figure this out...

>baserom and release date at the end of the thread
wouldn't it be better if you let us have it now so we can play it, find any outstanding glitches/issues. then you can just use the feedback (the feedback which isn't retarded) for the release build..

>>8631360
Im not very familiar with remaping shit, but if you mean blue bricks then that's where the old tiles of the Map16 were, you can insert a new Map16 in another bank (Stone button) and make the tiles act like they should one by one

Just a heads up, there won't be anymore level changes. My entire focus now is just getting the last things needed for a release.

>>8622532
>>8623360
Yes.

>>8624090
>>8629332
Maybe.

>>8631734
Soon you can rest OP.

real talk how many people have tested the following levels?
>HELLMARI TOWER
>CONCEPTION
>SADIST COURSE EX
>Bowsers Castle
>Paint Panic
>Booster Mountain
>The Grand /v/inale
I'd rank these as the hardest levels in the hack. We can't change them as what OP said but have people played and beaten them? Bowser Castle and The Grand /v/inale especially.

>>8631734
That's fair. Also wow, nice progress. So that's the item warehouse level for /v/3. Can't wait to see it when it's out.

>>8631790
I've only really playtested Sadist Course and Booster Mountain. They're good levels. As for the others, I've been avoiding them because I want to try them at release. I'm trusting OP and playtesters already gave them enough balance.

>>8628609
>You need to start with /v/1
Eh, I dunno. I started off with /v/2 on my own Super Nintendo without having played a SMW romhack in years and I was able to get through it and get all big coins just fine with a few hiccups on some levels. Though then again, I am pretty used to playing hard games and Touhou on Lunatic mode. Also is there any reward for collecting all of the big coins?

>>8631734
Based. I'm excited to play the final incarnations of these soulful levels.

>>8631790
>HELLMARI TOWER
I beat this level. First room would be fun if not for bugs/mechanics that nuke all fun from orbit, such as trying to manipulate the boo block and randomly falling through it, getting hit while jumping on bullet bill, and navigating the noteblocks. Rest of the level is good except for that part where you have to float with the cape and navigate this long muncher tunnel with a shit load of sprites. I'd rather play volleyball with a fucking porcupine.
>CONCEPTION
Pretty fucking hard but really fun too. There is one bug where if you take damage from say jumping on a black block, and you jump on the same frame, the jump gets eaten. Figuring out what to do can be a challenge, but in a good fun way, not in a "how the fuck was i supposed to know to do that" kind of way.
>SADIST COURSE EX
Hard as balls I got to the boss once (without the midway point) but the boss was bugged so haven't been arsed to try beating it with a fixed boss.
>Bowser's Castle
Simulated a playthrough with a save state instead of the non existent checkpoint, it was tough but easy compared to the harder levels.
>Booster Mountain
Long and hard, a few rooms ask a lot of the player near the end but nothing too extreme.
>The Grand /v/inale
The one level I can say I've hardly played, don't think I've cleared any of the rooms outside of my own.

Also shoutouts to Super Moot Boy, Peak of Delusions, and the second half of Temporary Temperature and Fire in Da Hands (except fuck that level) for also being really fucking hard. Pic related it's me trying to beat these levels as someone who isn't much better than "decent" at Mario.

>>8632635
oh I forgot
>Paint Panic
The FUCKING son of Dob autoscrollers were huge mental blocks for me but I managed to get to the boss, kept dying to the boss and haven't been arsed to beat it since. Tried the alt path for an hour as well but similarly have not been arsed yet.

>>8632646
I legit do not trust the previous anons saying 'Oh yeah alt path is easy', those fuckers used rewind.

>>8631734
that's fine. I just hope you added the .mwl edits I've sent (two batches), they're the result of playtesting and (in many cases) anon consensus. it would also be cool if there were one more baserom between now & release to make final adjustments. I also might have a .asm update for you.
I won't insist on topman tiles for green switch palace, it'd be cool, but it's optional.

if anyone should stfu it's you, not me the dreaded idea guy (who would've done the tiles myself, if OP hadn't declined).

>>8636920
relax its a fucking romhack, not an actual game.

>>8636920
it's really not fine. the collab head did the classic collab blunder of getting too ambitious and about shit and getting us in dev hell. this is what fucks every collab hack. the /v/ 1 and 2 collab head understood this (probably because they had experience from being a collab lead previously). they gave hard deadlines and tried to cut corners as much as possible while not being too ambitious. even then /v/2 still came out like 3 months late.
at this point if the finalizing work isn't done within a month or two I'd recommend someone else just release a playable zombie version. if people still want to add finishing touches after that, they can do so.

>>8637012
this is the internet, which has always been serious business.

>>8637012
the internet has always been srs bsns

>>8637034
I respect your point of view, although I still see the benefits of going balls to the wall with the 3rd hack. and it is fairly close to completion. I actually agree with your 1-2 month final deadline, I was thinking March or April would be a good time to release, and no later than May. That should give us enough time to polish and tie up all loose ends, and anything extra can be put in an update later.
I guess I have a different perspective, because I'm a /vr/ trooper who only got on board with the first /vr/ thread, so it doesn't seem as long to me personally.
also wtf, in Green Switch Palace, the coins are glitched out on the final subscreen with the switch (including the map16 tile for green coins). I wanted to put a 420 in there, but this seems impossible.

>>8637067
>also wtf, in Green Switch Palace, the coins are glitched out on the final subscreen with the switch (including the map16 tile for green coins). I wanted to put a 420 in there, but this seems impossible.
stop fucking around with peoples levels. OP literally said we're not doing any more edits.

>>8637034
OP finished the biggest things remaining (Bowser's Castle gimmick and the Postgame Puzzle I hope that's what he's been posting anyways) so I do think we're going to get the new baserom he promised before the end of the thread. There literally isn't anything left to do now I think.

>>8637034
t. Chaos

>>8636872
If you count the previous /vr/ collab as part of /v/1's development, it had more or less a year of development between the first thread and release (06/05/2019-02/02/2020). VIP4 and VIP5, although having having a completely different management and context, took about 3-4 years each. Going by some curious baseroms of VIP5 in the SMWDB site, they took a while on technical stuff, i.e. the final boss and overworld gimmicks. Nevermind other collabs like JUMP+YUMP and the SMWC productions. /v/3's not too bad as far as these collabs go.

/v/2 really is just an anomaly, having lasted like 2 months with a few delays and still being almost on par with /v/3 in content.

>>8637086
I realize that, which is why I'm not doing anything significant. how about I just fix that dirt tile in Finland and call it a day, is that alright?

>>8637097
>There literally isn't anything left to do now I think.
there's random fixes here and there, like the Star World exits, and the graphically glitched reserve star on Bender, etc.

>>8637154
VIP1-4 each took about a year judging by the year on the title screen. VIP5, the most ambitious took 3 years because they kept wanting to add more stuff (sounds familiar hmmm). VIP6 is taking a decade at this point, and was last active almost 5 years ago after 5 years in dev.

JUMP/YUMP all take about 3 years to make. I think we're in good shape as far as collabs go. It hasn't even been a year yet, progress started last May.

>>8637097
There's still the Adventure's End port, but I believe Super Training will be a placeholder if that isn't finished yet. I think the porter for Southern Cross working on some tweaks as well. I sent the last fixes for my levels in December, so I'm happy with how my side of the project turned out.

>>8637172
>>8631734
alright, this is my final .mwl, which fixes that infamous dirt tile in Trip to Finland:
https://files.catbox.moe/p5acmp.mwl
didn't bother with zipping or a readme since it's just one file.

>>8631734
Was the disappearing background gradient in the castle 3 boss fight fixed? It should either be fixed or removed entirely. And was the swimming-in-ground thing fixed in Deep Sea Thread?

>>8637172
>>8631734
this is my final .mwl edit, which fixes that infamous dirt tile in Trip to Finland:
https://files.catbox.moe/iqt8hc.zip
didn't bother with a readme, since it's just one file, but I zipped it due to name scramble.

>>8637229
Well, thanks for your support these past threads. Although I'm sure that tile should have been fixed months ago (lol).

>>8637238
appreciate it. I've been doing what I can for this.
and lol yea, that issue was mentioned back on the first testing doc. one thing's for sure, if you want stuff to get done, you have to do it yourself.

>>8637876
paint panic filtered him and he said he's not playing until the release

>>8637876
He made it all the way to Paint Panic, but got filtered hard. He then edited to overworld to skip to Booster Mountain because the author wanted him to play it. So he finished everything besides Paint Panic and /v/inale.

Is there a confirmed list of playable characters? I can't tell from the fanart who's in and who's been cut.

>>8638809
There's Shu's list:
>Moot
>Ayamari
>V-Tan
>W.T. Snack
>Vivian James
>Gal O
>Bury Pink
>Steve
>Keksandra
>Yotsuba

And there's Poll's list:
>Moot
>V-Tan
>Ayamari
>Tre/VR/
>Bury Pink
>Starfist
>Gal O
>Sneed/Milhouse
>Anonymous
>Waha
>Captain Vidya
But OP did say he only made poll for a reason in /trash/ so I don't know anymore

>>8637229
Fixes to bugs and aesthetic issues like this are fine, but it isn't right to mess with the designs of difficulties of people's levels. I didn't make Wide Bridge, but I think the level's fine without the checkpoint.

>>8638816
I swear /jp/-tan is also playable.

>>8638912
>someone thought wide bridge needed an added checkpoint
I don't remember that in the discussion or level edits but i'd also like to highlight that as a grievous error in restraint, but I'm glad OP gets the final say. From what I can tell he tests each level himself.

>>8638816
>noko-tan is nowhere to be seen

>>8639136
>nook-tan
???

>>8639139
>not knowing noko-tan
>being this new

>>8639143
What does Noko-Tan look like? I keep thinking about Sage guy

>>8638912
many of my edits are basic fixes/polish. when I altered design, I always did so cautiously, respecting the original intent of the author. I considered each edit, weighing my experience and anon input. You'll notice that my nerfs are concentrated on the difficulty spikes that others complained about, like the 2nd half of temp temperature, blue switch palace, midnight spikes, etc. if those levels were placed later, I probably wouldn't have messed with them, but they're relatively intense for the forest (according to myself & others). the one time I made a level harder was Lamp of Time, where I put nerf bars at the start (which prevents you from cheesing the level with the cape, which is right there in Origin of Life).

>>8638969
yes, someone thought so. it's the perfect setup for a checkpoint, and others have said that wide bridge is the first difficulty spike.
naturally, some of my decisions will be controversial, and I might even be wrong. I agree that I shouldn't be the final arbiter, it's up to OP to accept or reject each edit.

So this shit is getting done finally after months? I've been here since the pre-start of these, waiting to finally hear these words

Honestly, I would just prefer the game be released than getting another baserom but it would be nice to do final bugtests.
again, this isn't a excuse to load OP up with more edits for levels, whats in the game should stay unless its gamebreaking or shit. >>8638912 is right when he says you shouldn't be editing peoples levels. We had the exact same arguement over people wanting to ""fix"" SADIST COURSE EX's midway. Same reason why I don't really want to add plantman gfx to greenswitchpalace, I like how it looks, so i'm not going to edit my level just to push it in thats gay.

is it wishful thinking to hope we get a release before feb is over?

>>8637892
bruh

>>8640140
this all began when I asked about the missing marijuana sprites in the last sublevel, and brought up greenhouse tiles, a suggestion I made that was well-received a few months ago iirc. I'm also fine with how it is now, I'm not pushing for this. I'm pretty much done with edits as well, most of them were made around Nov/Dec, and I sent OP the 2nd batch last month, I expect the dirt tile to be my last one.
I found a rip of mm3 greenhouse tiles for SMW, but I won't use it for now; if it gets added, it can wait for a post-release update.
green switch palace is one of my favorites btw

>We had the exact same arguement over people wanting to ""fix"" SADIST COURSE EX's midway.
I was on the fence about that myself, because it really is punishing to get through. But that's the whole theme, and it's late-game, and it's honestly really funny & trolly. on top of that, you could in theory play through without any ! blocks activated, then use L+R to go back in for the dragon coins, so it's not a problem for completionists. believe it or not, I don't want to nerf everything, intense difficulty is fine for the last levels. speaking of,

>>8640190
how far did Lomelli get in Paint Panic? personally I made it halfway through the last sublevel before I resorted to cheating. the boss took some practice, but I got through it, it was a good fight. I could've done the whole thing fairly, eventually, but I wanted to wrap up my playtest.

>>8640258
>how far did Lomelli get in Paint Panic?
In the stream, I believe he kept dying in the second half of the first part. But it looks like he gave the level another shot off-stream >>8638417

How do I clear this section? I am getting filtered by SMv1, Forest Funland.

>>8641302
you need to keep the shell. to stop yoshi from swalling it you have to duck and spit it out, then re-eat it.

>>8641325
Aw, shit, I didn't even recognize that thing as a shell. I might need to use the original version though I do lose the new assets

>>8641662

This flying section is fun but it's so hard to hold the run button with my thumb-tip and tap jump with the rest of my thumb

>>8641684
I enjoy that level. It was made by the creator of Platform Peril, one of the infamous later levels of the hack.

>>8641734
Honestly the only reason why platform peril is shat on so much is because of the rather crappy romhack-esc design,

>>8640140

Thoughts on SMWC transitioning to a new modern website design?

https://www.smwcentral.net/?p=tweaks&game=smw

My first impression is it looks soulless.

>>8645797
Also this tweaks page is pretty neat.

>>8645797
>posts this LITERALLY as the smwc discord announces it.
You better just be lurking there like I am anon.
Tweaks are cool, The new layout looks very boring and soulless I agree 100%

>>8645807
>You better just be lurking there
Indeed. Though I might not if I'm ever so bold as to join one of those design contests they run. Sadly there's only 24 hours in a day.

>>8640140
Did anyone else read this in Batemans voice?

>>8645797
It looks like they transtitioned from the early 2000s to the late 2000s. The new one right now isn't nearly as charming or intuitive.

>>8646109
When I first saw it I thought I was visiting a forum without actually visiting the forum itself. It doesn't look as soulful compared to how it used to be.

>>8646147
every part of that site is a fourm. all of it.

>>8646109
definitely a soulless change. the early 00s look was better, because it was a low-key brag of how long they've been around.

>>8645558
>EXCEPT yotsuba, you sick fucks
>including Waha

>>8645797
I hate it

>>8645797
I knew what it was before I opened the link. That awful design from the Online Tools section. I am so tired of boring modern graphic design.

I like the login/register buttons being at the top, and I appreciate that they're going to separate the different games (instead of a Tools page containing tools for SMW, YI, and SM64, it looks like each game will have its own Tools page), but everything else is worse. For instance, the menu on the right. They removed all but one sprite, but added just a few for the page title and the sections on the menu. They look comically out of place, especially the mario 64 one. The question blocks and springs were FINE and improved readability. Could have just replaced the springs with category names but that would come too close to resembling the first rational thought the designer would ever make in their entire existence. The new font sucks. The background sucks. There's so much useless fucking empty space. And the one sprite they didn't remove? It's the one attached to the random tip, except now the tip is for some fucking reason front and center on top of the banner. What. The. Fuck. It's an affront to my senses and my moral fiber. I am a worse human for having seen it. What the fuck were they thinking? Wouldn't surprise me if honest feedback such as "hey this site has looked nice since the fucking Bush administration now it looks completely uninteresting and devoid of any soul whatsoever, also amateur, run-of-the-mill, and less convenient" is just straight up ignored in favor of comforting ass kissing or at worst met with derision and a warning by overly smug moderators.

New VLDC just dropped. This should hold me over till we release our own collab hack :^)

https://www.smwcentral.net/?p=section&a=details&id=29904

This feels like Console Wars if it's New Vegas vs. VLDC11

>>8647898
>implying /v/orld 3 releases a year from now

>>8647889
It took them 3 years? By the time we are in 2030 they just finished making VLDC15.
I really wish the /v/ hacks had the overworld sprites…

>>8647924
>3 years? it couldn't have been-
>it has been
what the FUCK

>>8647924
>>8647942
this one technically shouldn't have existed, this all came to be thanks to the efforts of AnEvilGhost and then later Stivi when the former just abandoned it, so if you had expected there to be more vldcs after 9 then you're gonna be disappointed

>>8647889
That's sweet! But why did they skip the 10th now?

>>8647981
10th had no joke like 180 levels, it was way too fucking big to compile. vitor had proposed a random super technically impressive solution that basically meant merging two roms together (which would allow for things like two big maps) but then he backpedalled and disappeared. they then later proposed doing top 60 or top 40 but for reasons i'm unfamiliar with they couldn't be assed at that point and just decided to leave it be.

>>8648007
sounds like it should've been split into two ROMs.

>>8647367
so who are you, darkbloom or nambona?

>>8647974
That's a shame, but understandable. The VLDCs are always dripping with level design quality, they're honestly the peak of 2D Mario.

>>8648007
lmfao. Maybe they should try porting SMW to the PS1 first.

>>8648027
I would have named it "VLDC 5 + Five". Get it? I know, I'm a genius.

>vitor had proposed a random super technically impressive solution that basically meant merging two roms together (which would allow for things like two big maps)

It hurts...

>>8648157
Of course it's not impossible, Jumphalf had like 10 characters and that was like 5 years ago. It's just tedious to do.

>>8648157
And which hack is actually going to release, anon?

>>8647924
>I really wish the /v/ hacks had the overworld sprites…
Me too. Some of them in one of those /trash/ threads, but none of them are in this build, so the idea was probably abandoned. But they would be a nice way to add some soul and personality to the hack. Maybe that Pidgeotto from one of the /vr/ threads can get in?

>>8648197

Still alive and working on the final baserom. The cutscenes are the last thing I have to finish, and they're only thing preventing the baserom from dropping. I'd like to hear everyone's thoughts on what should be done next.
>cutscenes at release along with credits
>drop the baserom >>>>>at the end of the thread

>>8650684
>The basrom might be released on Harmony Day.
>Harmony Day is Ayamari's birthday
Kino. I think I choose the 2nd one. I'd love to hear kino ending credit music.

>>8650684
Based. While I also like the idea of releasing it on Harmony Day like >>8650728 said, I think most people are just really hungry to check out the new baserom. It would probably be better to release it when it's done, so that more people can see it and have time to play it.

>>8650790
this

>>8650684
I'd like to play the next baserom before we get the cutscenes, it seems really minor. I've been waiting for months.
>>8650790
I'm not a furfag but oh my

>>8650684
Option 1 I think. That is, drop the baseROM as soon as possible. Then, before the end of the thread I assume you'll give us a full release date. And the next thread will be the release thread on /v/.

>>8650684
Baserom now would be nice so we could just give the final set of feedback for you. Most people just want to double check their levels anyway.
>Credits
If you're not doing the /v/1 thing, could you just credit me as 'SUMOBRO/ArtAnon'

Yeah, I'd also like confirmation that the bugfixes and edits from the last "official" thread made it in, since some of them didn't get into this current build.

>>8650684
I vote for a new baserom ASAP, we can wait a little longer for official release. it gives us another chance to test it out.

>>8651120
as would I. some of my edits are controversial, but others are nonpartisan fixes, so I'd like to check it out. and I have another minor tweak coming down the pipeline, unless it's already added.

Alright, it's settled then. I'll start putting together a dev build, then post it when I can. I'm not sure if the time until this thread dies is enough for testing and potential bugfixes, so we may be looking at one more /vr/ thread.

>>8650917
>>8650941
Sure. I'm also waiting until release to implement the credits, so if anybody else wants to be credited with an actual name, feel free to ask in the thread or by email.

https://files.catbox.moe/fyk8xl.zip

one more edit. this adds coins to wide bridge (subscreens 10/11), so that you don't have to make a blind jump from above.
this doesn't have the dreaded checkpoint, but I can combine the two if you want.

>>8651357
Has that Kirby Squeak Squad port been added to the castle 3 boss? The level author gave his blessing. It'd be an awesome addition.

>>8651357
Excellent. I guess if we need one more /vr/ thread then I'm on board, but I think you should make the thread.
That way you can lay down the rules/objectives of the thread, and the general status of the hack and its release time table right in the OP so there's no confusion.
Something like "This is what I need to finish before v1.0, this is when it will release, this is what we're waiting for and will be added in v1.1, this thread is for testing".

I pledge to give each level another QA pass as soon as the baseROM drops, ONLY raising a red flag if there is some critical bug like a crash. Even if there's cutoff or dogshit design in a level I'm giving it a pass and not saying a word, just as long as it works. When I have played through them all I will make a post giving the all clear.

Which do you prefer? First or second one?>>8651357

>>8651485
Nevermind I already decided.

>>8651491
The fuck is this

>>8651494
V-Coins resprited to be pin

>>8651496
I think they may need a bit more work to be more readily recognizable, then.
It looks like a bottle, to me.

>>8651508

>>8651529
I honestly don't think you're going to get it unless you make the middle pretty thin, which gets in the way of the V...
Hmm

>>8651496
I like it, but I still think the normal /v/ coins should be kept. Same reason why I was against people trying to resprite the munchers or resprite coin blocks.

You need to keep certain elements of SMW in tact for people to know what they are. Again it also is a GFX which depending on peoples ExGFX would be a pain in the ass to change. I know certain levels use different ExGFX which take up the GFX Slot the normal Dragon Coin uses.

Personally I still like it, since it's more legible than the other ones. But either way, I'm not sure if it will be added, due to the custom graphics files that certain levels use. You should still post the download link here.

>>8651596
Yeah, let me make proposal changes about other sprites first.
"FUCK OFF WE'RE FULL" seems difficult but..still trying.

>>8651603
Maybe you can change the exit so it says GTFO, to compliment the BTFO. The Game Over text seems tricky to edit, but suggest making it say GIT GUD.

>>8651603
Editing the game over thing would be ok. The Ghost House Exit I know is used outside of ghost houses so it could fuck up some levels again.

>>8651649
Alright I'll leave the Ghost House sign a--
Exit? ..Hmm. Still drawing out atm

>>8651603
Do we really need more art edits this late?

Are you kids aware that the probability of adding a global resprite to the rom by now is near 0, right

>>8651660
It's not that difficult anon. I want to make this project amazing by any means, or as best as I could or think of.

>>8651669
Nvm I think >>8651667 got a point.

I did 3 levels for this thing but never thought of a name

"!Meatwad Evac" probably in reference to the names of the levels i did

WHERE'S MY BASEROM?

Based Meatboy.

>>8645797
it's not as bad as it could've been (i still see gradients on some buttons and background images, they could've gone all-in on material design flatshit) but it still sucks and i hate it. the old smwc design is legendary and is really the only thing the site has going for it left since the community is so stupidly pozzed now, this just seals the deal. tasvideos pulled the same shit too and it's so frustrating, why bend the knee and make your site look infinitely worse so normalfags who already don't visit said site to begin with have a slightly easier time using it on their fucking iphones? fucking disgusting

>Baserom potentially releasing on 2/22/22
Kino.

>>8653568

sorry i havent made fanart in Forever but glad to hear the baserom is going along nicely, also yeah im not sure how to feel about the smwcentral redesign but as long as there's options to change back

>>8653026
>>8653568
>>8653598
Fucking stop.

>>8651708
Shu, I think you might need to take a break from this site. Just a passing advice, do not base your personality on what people do around here, or in the internet in general.

Also the coin ideia is not funny nor does it look good. I appreciate the respriting attempt, but the dragon coin edits are tradition for most SMW hacks, and the V coins are good enough as is.

>>8653956
>do not base your personality on what people do around here, or in the internet in general.
We need this fucking embossed over every fucking PC monitor.
I've met so many people who get so socially attached to places like discord, reddit, even fucking /trash/ erp threads that they cease to function like a normal human. Its scary shit.

https://anonfiles com/r8S0DfJexc/vhackFinalBeta_zip
The FINAL BASEROM is finally here! The last couple of bosses are in, along with the puzzle, Bowser's Castle, and many fixes and tweaks. Every level is final with the exception of Sneedzoid and Snacks. No more fixes, ideas, or the like will be taken into consideration unless it's absolutely game-breaking.
Thank you for your patience everyone, we're right at the finish line. And mark your calendars - the hack is planned to release on March 10!

>>8653993
Kino!
>>8653956
>>8653970
You're right. I hope I don't let any anons down like other times.

>>8653993
Holy shit, he actually did it
Let's-a fucking go

>>8653956
I like the way the resprites look, but I agree that they're not suitable to serve as dragon coins. The first three look more like trophies or jars of honey than pins.
>>8653970
How about literally any /trash/ thread that links to a Discord server? I'm always scared to visit those.
>>8653993
Epic win. I'm gonna playtest the fuck out of this. I think I'll make another /vr/ thread right after this one dies so that everyone can see it and document their playthroughs. Put me down in the credits as Big Smoke. I did levels, graphics, and MIDIs.

>>8653993
ONE IMPORTANT THING I forgot to mention, you'll need to start with a NEW SAVE or some major things are going to break.

>>8654029
>have to clear 20+ levels to check the new changes
I like the challenge lol

>>8653993
congrats!

Was the Cover Art finished?

>>8654051
could just go into lunar magic and change the level warp on Yoshi's island.
>>8653993
Blessed OP. God Speed.

>>8654087
Yes, the cover was finished one or two threads ago, with a few snippets posted there.

>>8654087
Cover Art was finished 2 threads ago iirc

>"omitted" still misspelled in the intro cutscene

>>8653993
im just gonna play this right now. i can't wait any longer and i'm sure it's 99% finished. i need to get out of the current kaizo hell i'm in (though i'm sure the endgame of this will bring me back to kaizo hell)

How the fuck do I add a new page on my testing doc? I wanna divide the cancer build and the final build, but I only know how to add new pages/sheets in Google Spreadsheets.

>>8653993
>No more fixes, ideas, or the like will be taken into consideration unless it's absolutely game-breaking.
received and understood. however,
1. can I sneak in the dirt tile and wide bridge coins edits? those are very minor fixes, and I linked them before you dropped the final baserom. >>8651421
>>8637229
2. can I send you an updated boss asm in the near future?

>>8653993
Now delete the post before Isaque gets it.

>>8654290
>No more fixes, ideas, or the like will be taken into consideration unless it's absolutely game-breaking.
> can I send you an updated boss asm in the near future?
Whoever programmed that magikoopa boss should be hung and have has balls chopped off

>>8654302
look, I get it. if I have to wait til after release, I will. I just see an opportunity to improve it, and thought other anons would give a shit about making things as good as possible.

>>8654302
look, I get it. if I have to wait til after release, I will. I just see an opportunity to improve it, and thought other anons would give a shit about making things as good as possible. I thought maybe there'd be an exception for .asm, as opposed to levels/overworld/art.
why are you this hostile?

Wizard School just rose from a 9/10 to a 11/10 with the new update. This gimmick is so cool.

>>8654375
Because this is all you've talked about for the last 4 months. You make yourself painfully obvious in all the threads and this is all you ever talk about. You had a cool boss idea, but it's over and done with. We're just waiting for OP to finish, and this late adding more stuff will delay things. Just give it a break, you got what you wanted in the hack.

>>8654396
I haven't brought it up for the past month at all. I did used to mention it, since I thought others would care about the imperfections, but no one did. I thought the original programmer would show up, never did. I already apologized for sperging.
yes, I'm obvious in these threads, but that's not the only thing I talk about by any stretch. I've done a bunch of other playtesting and editing for this, and the new testing doc. as annoying idea guys go, I've been more useful than most.

>and this late adding more stuff will delay things.
I thought maybe a new .asm could just go in there like swimwear and not cause delays, although I'm not sure. again, if OP wants me to stfu til the update, I will. if OP can make minor exceptions for shit, even better.

>Just give it a break, you got what you wanted in the hack.
I'm thankful for my concept being added, I'm just trying to contribute like anyone else. at least I'm not Isaque.

>>8654375
I like the way the boss is right now. Either way, unless there's something that is straight up broken about the fight, it won't get edited.

>>8654435
I can live with that. it's pretty good, I agree, this is just about polishing/refining. but it can wait if necessary.

Smart fix for Marble Crusher Zone, putting a pipe at the end of the autoscroller so the graphics won't get corrupted if you clear it while the goalpost is offscreen.

Good OP.

>>8654491
looks like my fix made it in. see, I'm not completely useless.
btw, that fix was a little more complex than it appeared, I had to move furniture around behind the scenes to make it work.

The BTFO cracks me up. One of the best additions to the hack.

Deep Sea Thread:
>Still no Dogsong in the Osaka room
>Still able to skip the level by swimming in the ground
That's a "yikes" from me.

Testing the bosses.

Candy Chateau's boss finally activates secret exit. Not too hard but can get hectic at the end.

Tested the Hellmari boss.
Its pretty fucking rad. Might be my fave boss.
A thing to note, During the attempts, it glitched out twice. It's bullet patterns seem to have gotten broken, causing a hard crash.

Sneedlord is pretty fucking great too. The attacks are all nice. The Flame and ON/OFF attack can get rough if the Spring/ONOFF block spawn in a bad place, but again its a boss so its not a big deal.
Do you need the star item to beat sneedlord phase 2?

XatuSaurin being killed in three hits is hilarious. Pretty tough level tho.

Wizard School's boss is really nice. A ton of the bosses in this game are pretty hard and hectic, so this one being a bit more lowkey is nice, lowkey doesn't mean boring tho, its really dynamic and full of neat touches like the boss laughing when you die. Also being able to use what ever power you want is also super nice.

Yellow Devil still a fucking bitch to fight.

Crab and Beary are more waiting games than fights but they both function fine. I love the dialog from Rin if you manage to lose the cape.

Unicorn/Cow/Aussie bosses still work fine,

Tried to try the W.T.Snacks boss, Is it not implemented yet?

Big Boo bosses are same as Vanilla, no comment.

The Virgin Wizard fight is pretty neat. Approve of the Squeak Squad music. Also like that you need to use a Disco Shell to kill him.

Pepe Wart I fucking hate but its because i'm bad at jumping and throwing items. As a Wart reskin its really funny though.

Cancer is the highlight boss of the hack. Yeah everything FnF related is mega cringe but the animations and boss patterns are fucking great. Infinigger port is great too.

>>8654395
Agreed. Might be my fave level in the hack. Its /v/ coins are in very clever places too. I also love how the item box gfx is snazzed up too.

>>8654562
Slopes and water is always a glitchy fucking mess.

>>8654562
Minor glitches like this don't bother me much anymore.

I actually like how Cave of Cope doesn't have Butterfly playing at the last room anymore because it was a bit much. Same reason I asked OP to remove the "shit game" room in Kusoge Course.

>>8654087
I finished the cover. OP has the full resolution picture for release.

>>8653993
End is in sight OP. Thanks for your work.
I've got super easy edits for you to put into the final game.
Paint Panic has had these weird 'word blocks' for a few baseroms which I don't remember putting into the final edits which make the Gaston and Double N word posts weird to read so I just quickly deleted them.

https://anonfiles com/JezaF1J4x8/Paint_Panic_Subscreen_1_B0_mwl

Its just a simple drag, drop and save from these levels in the ZIP. thanks dude.

>>8654623
>No more fixes, ideas, or the like will be taken into consideration
>I've got super easy edits for you to put into the final game.

>>8654562
That's just SMW jank. The only way to fix it is to either make the slopes act completely solid (very lazy and won't look good when you interact with them) or alter the terrain (it would make it look ugly). There is no reason to fix something that only people who go out of their way to break shit would encounter.

>>8654631
Yeah. It isn't a fix or idea. Its literally a quick tileset tweak lol.

Literally a drag and drop fix in comparison to having to slap a ASM file into a folder, type up the ASM address into the game, inserting it into the game, having to check the code isn't overwritting any other addresses. Or editing a graphic which has already been used in global levels which could mess up another persons level.

>>8654636
There was a fix in one of the old testing threads. It just placed a bunch of solid blocks that look like dirt inside the terrain. So you'd still be able to swim in the dirt, just unable to skip to the exit.

>>8654631
Relax dude, it's just a fuckin fix of 2 minutes minimum, it won't delay your precious release date another year gee

>>8654643
>>8654652
i know, i loved to see it get in. i just want to mock anons who hate idea guys like me.

>>8654679
Is Polandball in the game?

>>8654690
He's in one of the final rooms of the final level.

>>8654692
Based

>>8654643
sounds like updating asm is much more involved than I realized. also, I never really wanted to overhaul the tileset, just add a handful of new tiles, and apply them to a couple areas. I suggested that months ago and was just asking about it. this stuff can wait, if it happens.

>>8654679
hate me all you want, but I'm not what you claim.

>>8654645
I was thinking, that would be a simple solution to that skip. maybe someone else can throw that in there.

>>8654791
We've had a shit ton of ASM issues in the past in regards to bosses I'm going to fucking kill you Cow Boss Anon so the idea of editing levels or adding new ASM is not something people want to do this late into the game.
A rule of thumb is if you're going to edit a global title, make sure its something that levels aren't going to be already using.

The BTFO edit was great because its an element in the cutscenes, that way no anons are going to be bitchy about it looking weird in their level. So stuff like editing the 'Game Over' or 'Times Up' or certain overworld elements (outside of custom stuff already in the game) would of been much more well received.

Vanilla Global elements like 'Item Blocks' 'Coin's' '/v/-coins' need to stay as recognisable as possible. You see a big tall coin, you know its a resprite of a Yoshi Coin, You see a square yellow block with a question mark on them, you know its a item block. The moment you try changing it is when people get confused.

Its way too late now, but when OP does the 2.0 Patch you could make forward some of your ideas to him. Try asking in a email.

>Oldschool 4chan feel
>With modern memes

This feels weird. Glad bestgirl(s) made it though.

>>8654813
for sure, thanks. I hadn't realized there had been asm troubles. my current "idea" is to save all that for a post-release patch.
in the meantime, there's stuff that can be done that shouldn't cause any issues, involving the overworld, a message box, and a graphical glitch, I can elaborate on these if you want. that's all I can really think of, except for the wide bridge coins I added (haven't checked if that's in, my dirt tile fix was added at least).

>>8654819
>Oldschool 4chan feel
>With modern memes
Elaborate?

>>8654791
>I was thinking, that would be a simple solution to that skip. maybe someone else can throw that in there.
This is the one. Without inserting the block, you can clearly see the fix.

ebin. gonna play it now.

>>8654575
>Tried to try the W.T.Snacks boss, Is it not implemented yet?
you need to beat sneedlord and then return to the snacks fight room

>>8651357
/v/oom's gate still has too few cloud blocks in this section, where you can fall on the death blocks for no reason like 50% of the time.

Someone explained it here:
warosu.org/vr/thread/S8219512#p8231054

I also made a edit for this level back then, but it may be too late now.
warosu.org/vr/thread/S8219512#p8250709

Hellmari isn't too bad, its gimmick is pretty fun.
Literally the one thing which drives me fucking nuts is the cape hallway. It gave me fucking PTSD to that one special world level in /v/2 where you're avoiding a fishin' boo in a spike hallway.

>>8655087
the idea is to bounce off the koopa shell, but sometimes the timing is off for no good reason. not sure how to fix it except to remove the gimmick entirely.

>>8655170
I thought you were supposed to crouch when you hit the lower one and stand up right when you're under the higher one, so it gets knocked away slightly later, making it easier to bounce off it.

>Krabs' Koin Kontest with the new palette, V coin areas, and Grass Skirt Chase

>>8655087
>>8655170
Just add two or three more clouds to the left.

>>8655258
based on what?

>>8655258
>Grass Skirt Chase
wait where does that play?

>>8655281
based on (You) LOSING ME MONEY
>>8655282
when you hit the on/off switch next to the conveyer belt

testing the new baserom, so far, so good. glad to see my overworld shortcut implemented, + another shortcut I hadn't even thought of. disappointed that my lowered platform in edge of page 10 wasn't put in.

>>8655201
idk about that, all I know is that it randomly worked or didn't when I tested.

I like rougeport sewers. but where's my modified jump & reset door? I understand ditching the checkpoint on wide bridge, since that was unpopular, but I thought my edits to sewers were objectively helpful. also, the extra coins I added to wide bridge really should be added, so it's not a blind jump >>8651421

Cool, it looks like the new room for CONCEPTION got added. Matador NEVER EVER

I like rougeport sewers. but it doesn't have my modified jump & reset door.

1002 spikes, L & R haven't been inverted, which they should be. (L should be down, R should be up instead).

>>8655762
>1002 spikes, L & R haven't been inverted, which they should be. (L should be down, R should be up instead).

:^) i'm the level maker and I say that L should be up and R should be down

>>8654575
>The Virgin Wizard fight is pretty neat. Approve of the Squeak Squad music. Also like that you need to use a Disco Shell to kill him.
the music choice is interesting, and I approve. I haven't played up to that point with a new save yet -- can you confirm that the 5th hit now requires a disco shell? I assume there's still a single jarring increase in shot speed (instead of the gradual increase from slow to fast that I want), and it still appears inside of tiles.
and I know I'm bringing it up again (after not discussing it for awhile), but at least now I have reason to.

>>8655772
well, if you say so. I still think the other way around would be more intuitive. someone else commented showing support for that on the old testing doc, too. but it's up to you.
cool level btw

>>8655805
Yes, Fifth and Final hit is with a Disco Shell.

>>8655819
(pardon me, bad habit of deleting/reposting)
that's cool. when playtesting him, sometimes I would do that as an added challenge, although I didn't think to request it. having thought it over, I give my seal of approval to this as well. it adds a little more challenge and a solid finale to the battle.
once again, pardon my sperging. if I knew anything about asm I would've done it all myself instead of shitposting in here. I also didn't realize that adding new ASM is not nearly as easy as replacing a few tiles in Paint Panic.

>>8655836
Hey man, it's alright. I've had a /v/orld 3 tab on my browser at all times since May, reading every single post in every single thread from the start of this project. At the very least what you call sperging has given me something to read by keeping discussion going, and it comes from a good place. You've had a positive effect on the hack. When this is over I'll miss all you anons, and i'll miss you too.
