January still lasts for nine days so why not (if the build is polished as much as possible until the 31st, good)

Nah. It's just that if it gets delayed by two months, I'd rather know now than on the 31st.

Are we still on track for January 2020?

Not meant as a "Hurry up" message.

This is what I feel about people who spend months and even years of their time creating something SMBX-related, and when some of them realise there's no real benefit for them, they cancel their projects, which I think is a wise decision. I guess this could apply not only to SMBX, but other projects...

Personally I only started the preliminary planning for a new episode once the beta 4 release for January 2020 was announced. I assume this is the case for many others as well. The episodes are nowhere near ready enough for trailers.

I think one of the most important things now is to market Beta 4 properly. "Beta" sounds like something unfinished to the public, but if you can create episodes and levels with it without having to worry if they'll get broken later on, I think it should get a more attractive label. This is a big opp...

Merry Christmas, y'all.

Almost lost hope already. Fantastic news.

Looks great, will use it. Thanks.

In addition although unintentionally the comment is a bit disrespectful towards MECH since he spent hours pathfinding and running the episode with a series of frame tight tricks because he enjoyed it when he first played through it. That was not the intention at all, the comment was more tongue-in-...

Can we eliminate these wall through glitches from SMBX already? :p

Actually they only say it should not be used for episode- releasing , so you can still make levels for your project using that version, although you would have to wait until beta 4 comes out and fix any bugs that result from changes made between PAL and beta 4. I think this needs some more clarific...

Currently extracting the contents of the zip file, it seems that the episode still makes use of .GIFs for graphics (e.g. the blocks appear to be gifs). As a result the total size of the folder is quite a bit larger than what it could be. Anyway, if the difficulty has been lowered then I'll probably...

I can see you improved a lot over your last episode, the puzzles seem a lot more interesting and unique than the in the last game. Well done.

Thanks. The first episode was more of a platformer anyway.

The download has been updated. A total of twelve levels were hotfixed or slightly changed.

Spoiler: show

doesn't it contain a spoiler, friendo?

Yes, but vague enough.

I'm not sure if it's considered clipping, but in my opinion, if the player is carrying an npc, walks next to a block and releases the npc inside this block, the npc should always get destroyed instead of illogically teleporting nearby. The shells for example already get destroyed in this case, but m...

Really digging the new world map and organization. Maybe its because I didn't download PAL, but in regular SMBX2 when nearing the end of the intro level, some text boxes appear 2wice in a row and it continues to do so until exiting the level. This definitely does not happen on PAL. Anything earlier...

I'd like to point out, that the episode also works on beta 3. Just much smoother on PAL, which is why it's recommended.

It's allowed ... just check if it keeps running on Beta 4 when it comes out ...

Yup, will be tested again when beta 4 is out.

Posting the main thread in Episodes. Since this thread includes a lot of discussion about the old version, it can be locked.

Download for the beta removed. Final version (for SMBX2 PAL) expected to launch this weekend.
