Actually, EVERY non-final build is officially a beta. I forget where I heard this, unfortunately.
I'm not sure if this is official, but it's how I do it:
Pre-Alpha = Not started or program in very early development (doesn't do anything yet).
Alpha = Program still in development but does something at least (or in ROM hacks, very little editing done)
Pre-Beta = Program nearly or fully complete, levels not started.
Beta = Program nearly or fully complete, levels in development.
Pre-Release = Program complete, levels nearly complete.
Final = Complete.
Anyway, I'll try the hack when I get home. (In 2 months.  ) |

Clockworkz, when I get on AIM about 11:00 PM
Pacific Standard Time, send me the patch, mmk?
I'm mildly anxiously awaiting the ability to play.
For those who don't know, spyware has made it
so I can't upload or download anything. |

Well, thank you, L. I will address these issues. The sprite slowdown will be addressed in version 1.02pre. |

Ok, I played most of it, and it's generally good...it just seems like there's something missing. I opened the levels up in LM to try to explain myself, and here's what I found:
-Secret exits were way too easy. I didn't find one in Water Secret 1, but I don't think there is one yet.
-Don't use note blocks in castles; they create glitched graphics when bounced on.
-Level 4 was quite boring. Who wants to swim through water when the only obstacles are blocks in a row and fish?
-The "Show Level Message 1" at the start of the level is annoying after I've died multiple times already. Make it a message block.
-Some levels are a great length (intro level) while others are really short (102, 9)
-The brown blocks that "might be walkable, might not" are also annoying.
It's a fine hack already, but fix those and you've got yourself a great hack.  |

1. If it does that when there's too many sprites, take out sprites v_v Don't just say "Oh, it's okay, it does that" When slowdown is really fricking annoying 
2. He means it looks ugly and you shouldn't do that. |

* Serious Sprite Slowdowns. (3S  ) Layer 3 will do that if there are too many sprites.
* What the heck does "Donut Secret House" do in the water? I mean, the level is correct, but... strangely, almost always when I encounter levels someone forgot to rename, they're Donut Secret House. :b Forgot to rename it, that's all
* The level mentioned just above has no end. The pipe at its very end was supposed to be exit-enabled, wasn't it?` The level is not finished.
* Some minor overworld event glitches. Not a bog problem in my book. Will address that in the final release.
* Main Overworld palette messed up (level tile borders aren't black anymore). Don't know what I did or how to change it.
* Please, don't use these white bones in bright blue water anymore. They look real crap in there. I mean, blue and white, who loves that anyway  but bright blue and white... I dont know what the hell you're talking about...
Well, hope that helps.

I like your hack, but you used some of my GFX without asking me, if I would agree.
I hate those things, please tell me or other people, if you are using their GFX, because it could be, that some people can be very angry after doing this, but it's OK that you used a few GFX from SMQ. |

Okay, back from testing...
On a few levels there was some sprite slowdown...(IE the cave in World one, most levels in world 2)
Level Design is fine. Custom block usage is cool (I like the one that shoots you into the air  )
There arent any graphcal glitches I can see...
The only major problem is the exiting from world 2 into 3... the exit tiles are all screwy, and.. I wind up in nowhere land...
Overall, very nice. |

Ok, I played it.heres what I saw:
1. Level design is alright, you sure love the chucks though.
2. Level to level seems to jump around in styles
3. In everylevel I occured slowdown when there were many things on the screen. I know that it is normal, but maybe try to re-work enemy places so that don't happen, it makes some parts almost unplayable.
4. Level animation from MI3 to the next one is screwed up on OW, others seemed fine.
5. Graphical issues with the bush in Castle entry.
It was alright, the graphic edits were good. |
