AKR2 v0.94.3 and Memorable Moments

Posted by Lambtaco - July 31st, 2014

First off, link to the beta for convenience.

Another small update. I haven't been doing much on it the bast few weeks. Spent a week away, and the bulk of my productive time has been spent on other projects lately. Gearing up for a new website to launch with Koopa 2, plus I just needed a bit of time away from the project.

Changes include fixing ladders and vines to work with WASD control schemes (I don't know how I got so far without realising that was broken) adding a couple of songs, one for underground the other for the finalest boss, and many small refinements.

On to the Main Point
I'll be making a prerelease trailer for AKR2. And I want to know, what were your most memorable moments playing the game? I'm looking for exciting or just visually appealing parts. Or anything at all you liked.

Thanks for the help, guys.

Your page will be a shame, your game won't be a real success in newgrounds and you will never be as famous as many other programmers because most of your work is pretty poor in base of your imagination, creativity and originality, just excepting Koopa's Revenge, an idea for sure was never of yours.

You are so bad than you spent almost 9 years in this game and did a Beta of 9 months, something that a good-professional programmer will NEVER do.

And remember: I'M NOT INSULTING, I'M TELLING OBJECTIVE OPINION AND THE TRUE.

Plus, like everything, your few fans will defend you and attack my commentary, but I don't give it importance, because I'm just telling the veridical facts and my opinion, that's why Newgrounds won't ban my commentary.

Lambtaco

The fact that you use the term objective opinion tells me to ignore you.

I've tried to be diplomatic with you, but you continue to be an unrelenting asshole. You're out of the beta and you're banned from commenting on my news posts. Congrats on being the first person I ever blocked on NG. Find someone else to insult to make yourself feel better.

(to anyone reading who might feel pity for him, know the PMs he was sending were much worse)

rfgamefanatic

MadnessSphere, come on.
He clearly put quite a lot of effort into this, so give it a chance before you blast it.
I only started following him when I find out about Koopa's revenge 2, so I am not a longtime fan, yet I am defending him anyway.
When you say the game is uncreative, are you going to call other mario parodies like Power Star and Rise of the Mushroom Kingdom uncreative? Didn't think so.
Please keep your offensive opinions to yourself.

MCSM, ignore him, we are all rooting for you and want to see this game finished, so keep up the good work.

Lambtaco

I'm blocking him. His criticisms would hurt if they made sense. The parts he was calling uncreative were the parts that actually deviated from the standard Mario stuff. The stuff I came up with on my own. You know, the definition of creative.

Thanks for defending me.

SirArsen

Seriously MadnessSphere, what the hell is wrong with you. You're not insulting him? Uh, ya you are, saying he has a small fanbase, saying that him page will be a shame. How are you a beta tester? You were the one asking me questions about the game and now you're bashing on his work? I don't care what you say, you don't post shit like that on other people's stuff. Other people get depressed when they here that, you might be saying to your self "Oh great, an MCSMStudios fan defending him", well that's is what people do and people have been defending other people since the beginning of time. Get the fuck out of this neighborhood and never come back you bitch.

MCSMStudios don't get down by MadnessSphere's comment, he's just some guy trying to get your self-esteem down.

Lambtaco

I was kind of letting it get to me at first, but the more abrasive and hyperbolic he got, the less I could take him seriously. I never really figured out what his deal was though, his end game.

He's since signed up for three new accounts and asked to become a tester. I will be ignoring him.

Lambtaco

So, any awesome moments that you testers think would look good in the trailer?

SirArsen

First let me review the update first. I wish fungi beetles were blue again, sometimes I couldn't see them in the blue fungus backround objects that was when they got me and that was the special thing about them.

Before this update, probably 0.94.2, why did you give a palette swap to the mushroom spinie things?
I never saw a problem before with the colors.

I like the 2 new songs but, the new underground one was really loud compared to other music.
The finalest boss one is good, but needs to loop better, that's about it really.

Ok, my favorite or most memorable moment. There was a lot of memorable moments some of which I need to PM you.
One of my most memorable moments was first opening the game, the loading bar giving suspense, one flaw with this memorable moment is that it wouldn't look good in a trailor.
Another amazing moment was when I was on a roll finding secrets like crazy, it was secret after secret including the super secrets, this was all done without the use of ghost power-up.
Another moment was when first heard the music in this game, give this music to some guy walking and he'll listen to it forever.
Being the first person to do special stuff like being the first person to find a perma-power up, those were some proud moments.
I only really have 1 memorable moment to fit a trailor and it requires a PM, hope it helps with the trailor.

Lambtaco

I like them blue too, but they appear too early in the game to be that tricky. I was thinking having them be blue in later levels, but if they act the same I can't have them look different.

I felt they looked too similar to Spinies to justify calling them anything different. Plus they look more deserty now.

Damn, the volume change must have reverted. I should probably fix it.

If you need to PM me because they're spoilers, they're probably not trailer material :(
Yeah, doubt people would put up with that.
I need more specificity than that. Is there one secret (not too spoilery) that you thought was really memorable?
I'll probably use a song from the game for the trailer. Any one you thought was particularly iconic?
Cool, but untrailerable.
Thanks for the moments, dawg.

SirArsen

Let me guess, Eligaim369 is MadnessSphere. To anyone reading that comment, ignore it, it's just some guy with lots of spare time.

Lambtaco

I deleted the comments. He's also flooded my inbox. I'm gonna have to report him to the admins if he keeps it up. I'm really not sure what he's trying to accomplish. Unless he wants an ISP ban.

Alberto66

I think that Koopa 2 will be done in autumn.
oh my!

Lambtaco

The first 20 days of September are technically summer, ;)

OmegaSphere

MadnessSphere Here. I know everyone thinks I'm the biggest douchebag of Newgrounds, but I want to apologize in public here to admit I was totally out of my sane mind.

All I want is that MCSMstudios forgive me, because I know I hurt it to the deepest feelings of his, and I REALLY SORRY. I don't really care if he don't credit me in the game or put me on the project again; just his acceptance it's enough; however, if he has a really huge compassion, he will do it, but it is PERFECTLY UNDERSTANDABLE if he not, and I admit I deserve it, but pass the game I didn't finish would make me very happy.

And I don't want to be reminded as the Grand Spamer Moron of MCSMstudios. Everything has its explanation, AND I HAVE A REALLY COMPREHENSIVE EXPLANATION, but it is something totally private that I put my faith and confidence to reveal it to MCSMstudios in a private message.

Please forgive me, dude; I will never insult or make you feel inferior, even whether you don't forgive me, put me on the project again or unban me.

I really enjoy your game and I think it will be pretty famous. All I said was for my anger (that is explained in the message I sent) and madness.

I wish the best for you and your game, and I mean it for real.

Lambtaco

At this point I just can't believe a word this guy says. So many times he's cried wolf. He had his chance to apologise. My trust has bottomed out.

Just leave me be. If you're really sorry, you'll stop trying to contact me.

Lambtaco

Version 0.94.4 is here! For the first time with a complete soundtrack! All the songs loop better, and are pretty balanced in the volume department. I'm not 100% happy with the soundtrack, but it's certainly the best it's been thus far.

SirArsen

I liked the update, but like you said i'm not 100% happy with the soundtrack. Some songs are simply amazing like athletic day and night and ghosthouse day, but some songs are meh like ghosthouse night and the new normal boss music. I hope you know that the intro music is just Super Smash Bros Melee menu music because I think people would be too familiar with that song, the SSBM community is really big community.

1 bug. In the hall of music, the final castle music doesn't work, that is all.

1 thing you should do is remove the songs in the description of the game that aren't being used anymore like the old map day music and stuff like that.

Favorite songs in order:
1: Athletic day and night music are tied for first.
2:Factory music
3:Ghosthouse day music
4:Airship music
5:Standard day music
6:Finalest boss music
7:Final castle music
8:Snow night music
9:Desert night music
10:Underground day music

Remember that these are most loved songs in the game, ex: number 10 wasn't hated, it was just lower than the rest.

This is 0.94.4 and that tells me that there are still 0.05.6 updates till the game is released which seems like a lot of updates, there are little to no bugs left in the game and adding multiple 0.01's means that a big change happened aaannnndddd the new website is homing in pretty fast aaaaaaaaaaannnnndddddd the game is basically 100% finished, the only thing left to do is the credits and that's it. Is there going to be something huge planned (besides the new website)?

The game is awesome and a piece of beautiful art. Sorry for the extremely long post.

Lambtaco

I find the boss music grows on you. It sells the absurd nature of the fights, and contrasts well with he final bosses' themes. The ghost themes don't really pair that well, I;m thinking I can switch them and have the uneventful one during the day and the orchestral sound at night, and that might improve things a bit. Obviously I'm aware that it's the melee theme. I always find that song gets me pumped, so I settled on a version that's different enough to not sound like it's lifted right out of the game. I really couldn't find a good original song for the menu. The audio portal really needs an advanced search option. There's sill time to replace the songs, I'm just not prioritising it any more.

Caught the bug myself, but thanks for the report.

Could have sworn I already did that. Maybe I just missed one.

My list is similar to yours. Some I like are desert day, and map day (I just find it funny for some reason)

I've been doing 0.0.1 updates because I feel they're a bit small, The only big thing to do at this point is the credits, yes. But there are still small things, mostly bugs. If there's time I was thinking of doing a thing on the main screen where if you wait without doing something it goes to little animations showing different stuff. Like the explanation for the bosses (they're what Mario grabbed when he was fleeing the castle, mostly his lunch) and the Koopalings getting turned into stars, which would give hints as to where they are.

Always good to hear. I need all the feedback I can get.
