Very enthusiastic.

I am immune to all forms of sarcasm and long division. I laugh at your pitiful attemtps to steal the Eye of Moore.

Pretty much. I've been flip flopping a bit though. I'm not sure if I want three final bosses or just two.

I wouldn't call it 24 hours. It was really closer to 12 hours.

Only played the demo for LBP2. IS it really all that different from the first?

No need to make up for things. It's okay if you have a life.

Big Castle:
1) Well, it's too Megaman. I don't think there's anyone my age who played video games who doesn't know this song. 1/5
2) Interesting. It's got a nice feel to it. With that bit cut out it could loop. But it might be a bit too intense, or maybe not. Maybe it's too fast? I really can't decide on this one. Better than what I've got right now, I think. It doesn't feel quite as evil as the current theme. 1.5-3/5
3) Too calm. I think it needs to feel like something evil is coming. It has to have some finality (is that a word?) to it. It's not bad, but it's not suitable. 1/5

Map:
1) I can see this fitting in many different games. But just not a MArio game. 1.5/5
2) Too complex. A Mario map theme should be very short (like SMB3 or SMW) in the range of 10-15 seconds, because you'll likely only spend a few moments on thje map screen. 1/5

Plains:
1) I like the simplicity, but it hardly feels marioish to me. Fairly abrupt ending. Doesn't seem lke something I'd want to hear all the time. 1.5/5
2) Yuck. Really doesn't fit.As a rule I'd say anything you can't hum is too complicated.I know there's only like two melodies to it, but VG music is best kept simple. Also the whole Spyro thingus.

A note: I've changed the plains theme to be a more general theme, and the sky is now the athletic theme. Like how Mario 3 and World had two songs that weren't really based too much on the terrain, but on how the level is played. Calmer levels will have the general level theme, while levels with lots of rapid jumping or doughnut blocks would use the athletic theme. With the exception of underground levels, snow levels (maybe not), and deserts, etc.

Menu:
1) Joke suggestion? 0/5
2) How is this at all the menu theme for a Mario game? 0/5

It's okay if you have a life. These suggestions help, but I don't depend on them or anything. Do what you need to do.

Nope. gif compression turned the red lines orange. The secret doesn't have anything to do with a new palace or different blocks. It's a well hidden extra, that is posssible to miss completely and not be able to go back and get. It's not at all necessary and won't count toward completion percentage, but completionists might start new files just to get it.

Yes, I do. You work on your English grammar. While technincally okay, sentences like that are considered rude. It's like giving an order. It would seem more clear if you left off the you and just said, "Finish World 4." Or the more polite, "Please finish World 4."

The emphasis made it look like sarcasm.

And remember, it's not just four levels. It's also four bosses. Added secrets. Another playable character I haven't even started yet. Cut scenes. Credits. Menus. Finding songs. Bet-testing. Bug Fixing. And the rest.

Non heat objects? Not sure what that means. The fireballs react the same way they do in pretty much every super Mario game. The bosses are pretty much already planned out at this point. Thanks for suggestign anyway.

Lambtaco 2011-03-08 18:01:31

I'm really not sure what you mean. Are you saying enemies should deflect fireballs?
