My biggest gripe on a GREAT game is that glitched up room in Lufia 2

Sketchie, it's great to see you've started making a hack!

The best way to test new parts is just to play the whole level. It's better to make sure the whole level is continuous and not just a bunch of different segments pasted together. It's better to make sure the whole level is one smooth thing instead of trying to test separate parts.

Uh...no. Not necessarily. Playing a humongous level over and over again just to make sure you've positioned the goal tape correctly is utter stupidity.

When I was working on the Stony boss fight in SMO, I needed a way to jump straight to the battle--there's no way I was gonna waste time playing through the whole friggin' level over and over again when I knew I wouldn't be changing it. What I did was place a door right at the beginning of the level that pointed to the boss room. That way, I could make a savestate on the overworld (it's usually safe to do so), enter the level, and go straight to the boss fight.

If you're concerned about level continuity, just don't enter the door, and play the level as usual (which you should do anyway before you release anything).

Why is there even a screen of the Overworld? The only thing changed is the level name. The rest of the screens look unoriginal. Not that I'm assuming the design of the level is unoriginal, obviosuly, I haven't played it, but it uses the same exact BG, FG, and palettes as the original Yoshi's Island 1, thus I am not wowed. There don't appear to be any glitches, so that's a plus, but still not very captivating.

Keep in mind this is my first hack, so, yeah, of course it WILL suck and not wow anyone at all.

I am just starting to hack, ya know. Give me a break here.

I understand you're just starting out. Maybe I should've given a suggestion...

You're level design does not look bad, nothing in particular that amazes me about it, but I don't know for sure since I haven't played it. Basically, we've all seen that same YI1 level over and over again, the same ol' BG, the same ol' tileset, the same ol' palettes. It's quite simple to change around the tilesets/BG's etc. All these options are under the "Level" menu, so you should just mess around with these until you find a good mix of stuff that looks good to you.
