Time Management, Endless Earth, Clone Tag Team, etc.
In my personal life, I just got a new job! Yes, I've already mentioned quite a few times that I already have a job as a game/film reviewer, but writing doesn't exactly pay well so I've taken on a second job to earn cash while I'm still pursuing a career in writing. This makes me quite a busy man, because between these two jobs I've also got Super Mario: Endless Earth, my Clone Tag Team remakes, and I'm also starting to move out of the NSMBDS hacking scene and into something else (you'll probably hear about that at some point). I don't intend for Super Mario: Endless Earth to suffer from these commitments. It won't. It's a high priority for me to get-this-done. I said last month that I intend on getting at least 10% of the overworld done per month until it's done- and this month I managed to cover 15% of the overworld. I'm making great progress and the faster I can get this off my plate the sooner I can put more work in other passion projects. What will be suffering a little is the Clone Tag Team remakes. I have been working on them and right now CTT1 is almost half complete. I haven't started on Clone Tag Team 2 at all because I'm going to use the completed CTT1 as a base for convenience. I'm sure I'll be able to get them both out, because after all these years I think I have a decent record of finishing hacks. I just don't know when they're going to be done, which is a bummer because I wanted them out before Endless Earth, and that may not happen anymore. Just letting people know what the situation is right now. |

Congratulations on your new job! And don't worry, real life stuff like this is more important because NSMB hacking, at the end of the day, is just a hobby. I know this is a high priority for you, so be careful with your time and don't stress yourself out. I hope your jobs and projects go well!

Grats on your new job, but you said you'd be moving into something else?
NSMBU hacking? I thought you'd just pretty much quit hacking alltogether when you said endless earth would likely be your last hack. Glad to know you will (I think? Maybe?) still be in the scene. _________________________ hey look, I did a thing |

Pic of the Week - Week 84  There are a lot of sprites that I never got around to using in my hacks, so before I'm done with NSMBDS I want to play around with as many as I can. This is how I decided to use the pointing hands. They point to an invisible flying ? block, and to cross the chasm you'll need to jump on top of it and ride it to the other side. If you fail and/or accidentally hit the block, you can always take an alternate route (open world, yeah!).

And where does that pipe at the top lead?

The pipe is placed so you can't get enter it if you do cheese it. Taking that pipe will give you a small reward for your efforts, and for obvious reasons it's a one-way pipe, otherwise you'd fall into oblivion just by using it.

But why are you allowing the player to cheese it at all if you're also gonna make an alternate path to skip it

I wouldn't understand why people would choose to cheese it if you can take another route. The invisible flying ? block has a 16 tile loop, which meant sizing the gap needs to discourage people from cheesing while giving players a fair opportunity to do it the proper way without risk of falling blindly into the pit. The gap is 12 tiles wide ultimately, allowing for the invisible block to hover over two blocks of land on each side before turning around again. Yes, it's certainly possible to jump that gap with enough speed and a good enough jump,and that's why the pipe is available only for people who don't cheese their way through. My warning for potential cheesers is that if you hit the invisible block mid-jump, you're dead. So yeah. If I made the gap any wider, I'd be making it less desirable to do it the intended way, thus encouraging more people to try cheesing/take a different route. tl;dr bad level design.

Pic of the Week - Week 85  I thought it'd be cool to have a room or two filled with a purple fog, so that's exactly what I did. It's actually the poison water sprite creating the purple, I just placed a water sprite underneath it which kills its lethality.

And if you placed the water sprite underneath the poison sprite, then could Mario die by jumping high enough?

The water sprite is placed underneath the view, and the poison water is placed high above. The water's presence simply nullifies the effects of the poison water.

Posted by MarioKart7z And if you placed the water sprite underneath the poison sprite, then could Mario die by jumping high enough? The water sprite is placed right below the view. Not right below the poison water sprite. The player doesn't come in contact with the water, but the water's presence alone nullifies the death effect of the poison water. |

This idea is actually really cool. If I ever get out of 1-1 in a hack I might try it sometime.

Pic of the Week - Week 86  In this vast pit, use the coins to guide you through invisible platforms. Are the ghosts deliberately messing with Mario by making the platforms invisible or are they trying to guide him through with the coins?
