Super Mario Enigmatic 2 took probably 500+ hours to create. The rest of my episodes a little less, both Super Mario Enigmatic and Mario Prime certainly took 300+.

I quite liked the boss/ending of Mario Prime. It was quite a difficult boss, too! I cant understand how Mario Prime works, sometimes you end up in a vase and sometimes in a pipe. There's also no pathway in the map. Just that you disappear inside a tunnel or rather a vase, and then all of a sudden y...

The episode has been updated to work with SMBX2 Beta 4.

It’s a nice idea. Usually the winner in these contests is not the ”best” one, just something that annoys people the least. In other words, something mellow.

True, but episode of the year could be nice, since choosing from around 30 episodes is a good enough amount. In fact, episode of the year can encourage people to make episodes. The question for me is not if it can be done but rather should this be done. It doesn't have to be a month or a year. Prev...

I don't mind the fact that episodes aren't talked about much because they're the reason 90% of the community work on levels in secret that never see the light of day to begin with. Standalone levels are much more important than episodes and you can see the impact not having episodes has on the Mari...

How come there hasn’t been any new projects and episodes yet? Because most people stopped creating them until beta 4 was out. Now there's gonna be a bit of a wait until they begin emerging. There are probably a lot of projects in progress already, but from my experience, it's not wise to introduce ...

Have not played yet, but based on the gifs and videos, the graphical quality of this episode seems insanely good. Can't even imagine the time it has taken to create this, considering merely building levels with someone else's graphics takes ages. The use of parallax backgrounds works very well here....

welp I tried to play it nothing happened I just reached the launcher and when I started the game no loading window popped up welp let's return to 1.3 again Trying to resolve the problem would likely be a better idea than returning to an outdated version. Not that I have a solution, but you might wa...

textplus is in the install for Beta 4

Ah, right. :p Is there any documentation on it?

EDIT: I'm trying to replace the normal message system as is possible with textblox.

Use textplus.

Thanks. Is there a download somewhere? For some reason I couldn't find Textplus using google.

Wait, is the section limit per level still 20? I don't know how I missed this... back to the drawing board for me... From the handbook: Warning! Although there is a button to the right for adding sections beyond Section 20, such extended sections are not currently supported by SMBX2. Further unsuppo...

I feel like there are quite a few bug reports coming in that have been written in "panic". It's always a good idea to explain in detail what you were doing when the error occurred. And it might also be a good idea to wait a little if your bug isn't critical. There's bound to be a ton of messages in ...

This has been highly anticipated! Everything on the change list looks magnificent. Thank you for your hard work. Now it's time to start building new episodes.

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.
