i.e. the manner in which I write them changes all the time.

a more streamlined version I use for longer texts
"do your worst"; also, delicious copypasta
more spacious version

Also, Cat Justice, I find your handwriting quite easy to read (apart from being tilted in a weird manner

)

Why are your kanji so ugly?

Combination of shitty pencil (too much ink flows out), miserable paper (recycling-quality post-its), too few space and me just lacking practice.

The "default", shaded horizontal rule in your quotes looks out of place. Replace it with something more looking like the solid frame you put around them.

Other than that, nice.

Seriously whoever thought that tacking the "Wa" on the front of Luigi is an idiot.

In Japanese, that pun works better than "Wario".

Keep in mind there are no distinct 'r' and 'l' sounds. Other than that, it works like Ailure said. (note: warui = bad, evil)

I'll probably try making some in-tower level aside from Outer Wall somewhen in the course of the soon-to-be christmas break.

Ailure: You should try actually using some custom graphics in your next level.

Compared to the SNES, NES hacks still have modified music rather often... then, I guess, it's a rare thing in hacks in general. I guess that's because it's clearly much harder to make above "really bad" music than graphics, dialogue etc...

Overall, this looks very convincing; up to this point, nobody I know took upon actually replacing all of the BGMs. What do you mean by "interactive characters and shit" though?

As for points you should improve, I'd suggest getting rid of any original backgrounds (particularly the cave one, I always found it hideous...); also, the red gemstone in this screen looks somewhat out of place. Regarding the music, while you show a good sense of percussion, some of the melodies could use work. Excessive mid-song transition between keys produces a certain sense of randomness in some of the songs.

Other than that, I'm looking forward to a release. Keep up the good work.

I found Legato Homeland to be a track particularly affected by it, though it's a problem with several... also, Boothoven's Symphony appears somewhat dissonant, in particular, the citation of For Elise is off (unless that is on purpose; I think I pointed that out in a previous thread of yours before).

As for the demo, I actually haven't seen that before. I like the departure from SMW's original linear/unidirectional level concept a lot.
Another thing I'd like to point out based on that is that I always found spikes whose graphics imply points being solely at their top end being damaging upon sidewards contact (->Legato Shrine). Using blocktool and hurt block code, that can easily be fixed.

edit: What's the song in the demo's "The Cobalt Pond" from? I definitively recognize the melody...

It is a bit too excited for a plain level theme in my opinion... would go better with some kind of midstage confrontation or miniboss.

Some early experimentation on a sewer tileset.
I don't quite like it yet.

Actually, despite all its annoyances, I found Parallel Words to be a rather awesome hack, and definitively the best LoZ3 one so far...

CKY-2K: At least detail your opinion. What you are doing is just spamming.

It would appear that after all the years, Ailure's apartment IP changed after all.

Added a DNS name for him so the next switch of this kind would not be as notable.

SMW hacking has come a far way since its nexus shifted from here to SMWC indeed... o.o

Who coded up all the custom sprites in that video?

Introduction to Knot Theory appears to be well written, though I already know its contents.

I'd come, but San Diego is ... rather far away.

Some "plain overworld level BGM" I tried making up, or rather the first part of it (going to add a different melody arc when I get around to): click me

Instrumentalization is preliminary since I'd prefer swapping SMW's instruments out.

Thoughts?

Well, yeah, the YI star music in the SMB1 patch has somewhat glitchy-sounding instrumentalization

I suppose nobody realised the topic because ever since addmusic, those patches fell into general disuse...
