Yeah tough break there, but it keeps Flower group looking very interesting points wise!

No pressure at all Devlin but I might be able to scrape an hour or so tonight to do a bit of Making if you can get the guidelines up? No worries if they're still being cooked up though of course, whenever you're ready :wub:

My team up in Montreal are already hard at work on pre-production, but they too are hesitant to progress further without more solid direction.

:lol: Well, there's nothing in the rules that says you can't pay a studio to make your levels...

I keep seeing new replies and thinking that means the guidelines are out. Got me all twitchy here!

Apologies for the delay!

I'm moving everything forward (Back?) a day this week to make up for the late guideline post, so you've got until 8pm Monday to submit. Voting deadline will be the same, but you've got another day to get the levels in.

Have fun!

Week 6 Guidelines!

Mushroom Group!

It's really quite simple. I want an autoscroller. Something that takes advantage of the new speeds and directions available to the player.

Will you link it with some tricky platforming? Will I have something to transport to the end of the level? Are we going up? Are we going down? Fast or slow?

I would also request that you use one of the SMB3, SMW or NSMB themes for this.

Due to the delay in getting the guidelines posted I'm giving everyone till 8pm Monday 25th May instead.

Have fun!


Flower Group

This has always been one of my favourite sets of guidelines so I'm intrigued to see what everyone comes up with.

Your task is to create a level around scrolling shooter mechanics. Use the koopa clown car and give me a load of stuff to blast away.

Will you go for bullet hell? Will you go for environmental traversal? Will you give me a big boss fight towards the end?

The choice is yours, just give me something to shoot. :datass:

Due to the delay in getting the guidelines posted I'm giving everyone till 8pm Monday 25th May instead.

Have fun!

From the bottom of my heart: thank you for foisting the koopa clown car on Flower Group.

(had it been the other way around I would have, out of pure malice and spite (and without any regret for devastating my chances of a good ranking), made my level a horribly devious troll level)

Cool! Hopefully this goes better than last week's shooter :P

It was down to the wire who was getting what to be honest. :lol:

I'm a (tiny) bit worried about my level. The level wouldn't work at all without autoscroll and the custom autoscroll, but there's such a heavy use of scroll-stop that calling the level an autoscroller might not be entirely accurate.
I'm debating whether I should throw in some traditional autoscroll platforming sections... it would completely go against what makes the level interesting in the first place, but would also ensure it's not bending the rules too far.

I guess I'm asking for clarification on what exactly is meant by "autoscroller". Is it enough that the level makes good and inventive use of the various auto-scroll functions the game has to offer?

I'm interested in this too, as currently my clown car level doesn't play like a shmup, it is more of a clown car based puzzle solver. :shifty:

Right, forget these nonsense queries, let's get down to the important stuff: is there a limit on the number of Porcupuffers I can use in my stage?
