Last view: 40 days 		At the very least, foshizzle, let levels of this difficulty remain in later levels. One tip I've learned over the years with great level designs is this: rather than making the game harder, try making your goal to keep the player interested with each new level. Progress them with easy levels to much harder levels, but always keep them interested with a new gimmick, puzzle, enemy, what have you.

Wow, this looks fantastic! Even if I never get to play it, just seeing the screenshot was good enough for me. I like it.

I would be a little sad about having less exploration, though.

This thread is getting buried... here's a couple of images showing off the differences and advantages of Reuben versus other editors. Images are clickable!

Before Reuben, SMB3 Workshop


After Reuben Enhancements


The top image shows the level as it was ported over from SMB3W to Reuben exactly as shown. The palette is a bit different than SMB3W's level, but you get the idea.

The bottom image shows all of the enhancements made available through Reuben. Clearly superior.

Well, this is it: the last two stages I'll be designing for this hack before Reuben is released. Enjoy. :3

Copypasta from my Youtube description:

You guys are probably wondering what this is all about. I thought I'd type up a big, long-winded explanation, but one just wouldn't come to me. Here's the short version:

Simply put, ever since DahrkDaiz announced his new editor Reuben for SMB3 and began listing really good features and showing miraculous progress on the implementation of said features, I've lost motivation to continue working on my hack with the basic tools that I've been using.

I am very thankful for the time I've spent getting acquainted with SMB3 Workshop, Translhextion, SMB3 Map Editor Beta, and YY-CHR. Compared to Super Mario World, Mario 3 has been a much more difficult and humbling hacking experience. I've had to learn many things on my own to get this hack to its current level, so I think that when I make the switch to this "power editor" that Reuben will be, I can fully appreciate its features as I have been more than sufficiently exposed to the alternative.

I'll be rebuilding many of my stages from the ground up. I can't see world 1 changing very much, but world 2 definitely will. Ever since I played NSMBWii, it has dawned on me how sick and tired I am of world 2 always being a freaking desert. At first, it was just a problem with others' SMB3 hacks, but now it's extended into the official games, as well. I have always hated deserts in video games (mostly RPGs, but both were depressing in the two NSMB titles), so I'm either going to relocate the desert theme to another world or do away with it altogether. Since this means that all of these stages and this map will be scrapped, I decided to go ahead and showcase them here.

You also get to see some of my graphical edits in action! Realize, though, that much of it was a WIP, and as such, you'll see quite a few placeholder tiles and the occasional junk tile. These would have been addressed for a beta or final release.

Wow, that wasn't as short as I thought it'd be. Thank you, everyone, for being patient with my hack, and know that my decision to use Reuben should ultimately make this game far better than it ever could have been with what I have been previously using. :3

Maybe I'll tidy this up a bit and release it. The perfectionist in me would rather not, but...you know. xD

Thank you for your support. :3

Last view: 21 days 		That's okay. You don't have to if you don't want to in order to help keep the surprise of what you do with the power of Reuben to advance it. It's just me, but I like playing the final versions and not forcing authors to release demos if they'd rather not release unfinished work and not have real control over who grabs it. I know some authors like releasing (public) demos in order to get feedback and whatnot; however, I'm personally not a fan of this method. Plus playing a demo would sort of ruin the feel and excitement of the finished product since depending on how much more has been changed, I'd sort of have an idea of what to expect, but again, that's just me. If you're going to be keeping most of World 1 the same for your Reuben advancement, I like your hack enough to put off playing it until you have it to the point that you'd want it to be at on a more complete level. In the end, it's up to you what you want to do, of course.

I know one person in particular who would probably say otherwise though...

You're welcome. I know you'd do the same for me.

Many practical problems, however the concept could work in a smaller scale.

I hope this will get people excited about a new Vampire Killer game 2 years in the making.

You may notice a few things such as multiple power ups, 3X subweapons, working candles, keys, and chests, day-month-hour clock, 250 max hearts, experience and level-ups, plus tons tons more.

These backgrounds are all temporary as well as the level design. I have only been focusing on game control and game play to date.

It looks great! I've been doing some research into CV2 in an attempt to achieve a similar end within that engine as you have within this one.
Great work so far!

Yes that was 8-eyes, I looked into hacking cv games myself but the code seems way to complicated and compressed. 8-eyes had a lot of free space and code that was easier to understand. I was able to actually re-write a lot of the original 8-eyes code to make it tighter and more compact in order to free up space. The end result has been great (more weapons, more familiars, more whips).

Also, you will find that the controls and intuitiveness are superior to any other CV game for the NES. (ex. facing different directions while in air, douple-tap running with trail effects, double-jump wings, smooth animations)

Thank you sir, there is a lot that you don't see in this picture as well. Plus this is not just a painted picture, everything you see here functions as it should (except the level up counter, which i just decided to do).
