How about this stage?Hi GAF!
I'm going to be streaming some of your stages in about an hour. 1:30pm pacific time.
Quote this with 1 of your stages, or a stage you'd like me to try, and I'll add it to the list.
Model 500: C664-0000-0047-837E
That will be the first stage, then it's first come first serve after that
I've been wanting to redo this level tbh, but I would like to get some more feedback before I go ahead with changes.My first level with a clear design and intent. It's pretty difficult for me but doable. I think I will make more changes to this level in the future, but I'll post the rough draft version for now. Let me know what you think!
Fire, Thwomps, Flying Things

And of course I plan on trying the levels provided here when I come back from work tmrw

Anyone ever get half way through a design and then sorta decide that the level thus far isn't actually fun? I have that right not, 3-4hours spent but I don't actually think the level is very good.
Can't get enough of some of the edit themes, especially the one for the SMW airship.
It'd be cool if you could play the stages with this playing but the original music stylised after the games they're from is obviously more appropriate.

Thanks a lot! Out of curiosity do you have a link to your stream? I'll follow so that I can find out when you get onWhen I stream tonight I'll add this one to the list
People can be their own worst critic. Get someone else to give it a go, get some feedback before giving up on it.

This was played on a couple of streams last night, but I'd still enjoy seeing it played again. I learned a lot from watching both of the others.

Edit: Oh, oops, I'm waaaaaaaay late.
Yep, right now.
I've dumbed down my level to make it easier because it was too hard for me to try to edit.
Anyone else make the level harder, then tone it down to "Just Right"?

I like the concepts here (and not just because I also have a flying Thwomp stage), particularly how certain highlighted blocks unleash podoboos/fireballs which then become part of the lava hazard below.
The fact that the Thwomps and Lakitu can add to this is an interesting use of both.
Personally what I'd do here if I were redoing it is make use of sublevels to separate fire chucking Lakitu into his own area that has less hazards on the whole so that he can have his focal point there with just a few thwomps leaving the main bulk of the stage to the thwomps alone.
The section at the very end also can get too messy to keep a handle on things between the precision jumps and thwomps/fireballs/lakitu.

This happens to me all the time.
What I do is, instead of scrapping the whole level, I figure out what PARTS of the level I don't like, and I erase those. This may mean erasing 90% of the level, but the 10% that I'm left with is really, really good. I then start from scratch on the empty sections, moving stuff around as needed for cohesiveness.
As I go, I continue to play-test, and continue removing pieces I dislike. Eventually—at some point—the whole level gets filled out.

Tried a small Zelda dungeon with a few puzzles. I think what I have here is okay, it's just way to easy and to short. I didn't really have any ideas. Will probably update this sometime in the future, but this is the first attempt of doing something like this.

Right now I mostly just decided to save the design and come back with a clear mind. I have only made 3 levels so I have lots of upload space. Maybe I will come back to it tomorrow.

Well it depends on how you design I suppose. If you like to get a rough version playable then tweak I can imagine that this approach would be good. I playtest every few blocks elements and decide whether I find them fun. If I can't come up with something fun I just stay stuck at that spot or do something else.
That's a cool approach too. I struggle with cohesion in my levels. Making it so that everything is seemless. I prettyy much have to go left to right lest I frustrate myself haha.
When I stream tonight I'll add this one to the list
If there's still room, I'd like to see one of my levels streamed.
Mario's Inside Story: A2E3-0000-003F-4572
Rightside Down Galaxy: 8641-0000-0051-F352
Holy shit. How do you design a level like this?!
I build my levels in what I like to call "Chunks". Right now, i'm trying to build a 9-Chunk Level which can be completed in 120 Seconds Maximum.
I've maybe built 20 "Chunks" today, but only 4 have stuck, which were the first 4 I built, but i've tweaked my Maze Chunk from:
- Stupidly easy that Robin had no problem with that part.
- Stupidly hard in which a part needed crouching.
- Hard in which the crouch part was removed, but other parts seemed too close for comfort.
Now it's sort of much easier to handle, but not as easy as it's first iteration.
Trying to think of 1 last chunk for the day, then i'll think of 2 more tomorrow and Monday and publish it on Tuesday.
Am I annoyed that 16 Chunks i've made today have not been fun? Kind of, but rather I play them and think they are crap than let people play and have a hard time.
I've played enough 100-Mario (like 4 times) to know that levels which aren't fun are annoying. You need to strike a balance, one which many fail to.
EDIT: Realise the maze is the only good part in my level, deleting the other Chunks to make a 9-Maze Level.

Ah that sounds good
I do admit that the level gets pretty hectic after awhile with the flying thwomps and if the lakitus stick around long enough to throw down too many fireballs. I definitely need to redo the end of the level, I'll own up to it having the least amount of work.But yeah, I think separating out the fire throwing lakitus as their own challenge will be something I will try. I'm a little worried about the majority of enemies being invincible and whether or not that'll impact how enjoyable the level will be.
BTW did you find a use for the koopa at the start of the level?
well then
Yeah...these levels are ones which I hate. xD
Actually, I hate looking at Pro-Levels because it puts mine to shame xD

Alright, I am back with another course. Tried to go back to the basics to try and hone my level design skills. (Now I need to work on my course naming skills) As usual any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Dang, that's a creative use of bob ombs being able to take more than one hit
I tried doing something similar with the player having to "carry" a bob omb by fire flower in SMB1 mode.The Yoshi part is just ridiculous. Goddamn
I've made a few more levels since that last I posted. I'm not as happy with these as I was my earlier stuff, but I would love some feedback on certain aspects that are lacking.

You could try my rollercoaster stage if you like
Thanks! This actually started as my 1-1 competition entry (it's still named Gaf1-1 in my saves haha) but I decided it was too complex for a 1-1 when I uploaded it. Ill hopefully get a chance to make an entry tomorrow instead.

here's a guy playing more of his levels if you're interested
Yeah, I figured this out as well. Pretty cool. I used it in the stage I just mentioned above "Kuribo's Boot-Bop" but I didn't require it. It's just a fun way to finish the level. Give it a shot, maybe it'll trigger some better idea for yourself! Looking forward to playing whatever you come up with!

That's a good approach. I def get that its hard to design. Excited to try your maze level. I started a new level with a different theme. Having way more fun making just plain levels.
Well designed levels are vetter than flawed gimmick. And it takes very little to make a level awful

It's pretty easy to beat, but the fun is in finding the over a dozen secrets. Can you find the 4 hidden 1-ups?

I don't think I can do better then this level right now. We'll have to see. This is a classic Vanilla Dome level that uses a lot of different mechanics that culminate into a final test.

Anywho I'll be streaming GAF levels again around 7ish EST.

I deleted all levels except my Most Successful one.
And yeah, as much as I wanna get 1,000 Stars for making a crap level like Super Meat Bros. or any of RubberRoss's levels, I prefer levels which ain't Sadistic.
"The Past Shows The Way" will always be the most creative one I will make as very few do it. Might just move to making a 2nd one, but more fun and maybe less tedious.

People can try that if you want, it's hard to lose.
I just finished another level, this one has taken me 3 days and I´m pretty happy with the result. Hope it gets the same reception as Circular Platforms 2!
Hope you enjoy it and if you find the secret treasure room please post a comment and brag about it!
CIRCULAR PLATFORMS 3
A48C-0000-0052-02E2
This is the third entry in the Circular Platforms trilogy. The level has different routes depending on the player´s skill and even a big reward for those who manage to get over all challenges unscathed and can find the hidden powerup. As in previous Circular Platform levels, few elements are used but they are combined in different ways throughout the level to create new challenges. The level has a nice pace: you have time to think and plan your approach between challenges and there even are puzzles in between to relax the tension...but don´t get too relaxed or you might fail the next challenge!
There are 2 hidden 1Ups and a secret treasure room with an awesome reward, but only those deemed worthy will be able to enter.
Hope you enjoy it and if you find the secret treasure room please post a comment and brag about it!
I'll be playing some GAF levels for about a hour or so. Quote me with your level + ID and I'll give you some feedback and a star.

Submission for the SMM-GAF Community Contest #1
Level Name: Peaceful Plains
Code: EAA5-0000-0052-DF04
Tile set: Mario 3
Concepts Introduced:
Power-ups (Mushroom/Flower/Star Power)
Sub-levels
Run Jumping
Kicking and carrying Shells
Secret Blocks
Secret Vines
P-Switch
All which are optional. The only skill needed to beat the level is going right and regular jumping.
This is actually the second revision (albeit very slightly modified). The first one I had up to gather opinions and deaths. Even though the level is extremely simple there was a 78% clear rate, with 9 deaths outta 41 clears. The vast majority of deaths came from the very first goomba.
Looks like you may have written those incorrectly. I couldn't find any of them. Can you recheck then please?
