The Legend of Darkness is a SMBX-38A episode made by Hel studio, whose members are mostly from China.

This project of this episode was originally launched by me in summer 2015, and this episode has only been finished the former 2 chapters before. Because I was busy after starting high school in summer 2017, and members in the studio also had their own affairs to deal with, the progress of this project was very slow. During this time, Slash-18 updated many stuffs in this episode.
When I began my university career, I finally could spend some time on this project. Because we're dissatisfied with the levels we made years ago, we decided that we will make levels of this episode from scratch. We're remaking levels in Chapter 1 at present and expect to release the Chapter 1 Demo within this year.

DEMO 1 PROGRESS: 60%

Looks pretty neat!, although, how does having powerups with a life meter work? Do you lose the powerup when you get hit, as well as The power meter getting ticked down, or do you keep the powerup when you get hit, and just get the life meter get ticked down?

looks interesting, very good, but sadly it will be in 38a version instead of 2.0

Thanks!
As for power-up and power meter, if your maximum HP is 3, when you get hurt, you will lose your power-up and also drop 1 HP. But if your maximum HP is 6, you will still keep your power-up even get hurt, however you will still drop 1 HP as well. Getting a power-up can heal player 1 HP (and getting a 1-UP mushroom can heal player's HP to maximum due to the cancellation of life mechanism), though you can't use power-up from Item Reserve Box to heal.

don't need i reminded myself that i have automaticly 38a version after downloading 2.0 (2.0 is better because there is more blocks, more npcs, more characters, more backround and more things, undo button, and a lot of good features)

in fact, you don't. while i also personally prefer smbx2, 38a is an entirely separate game built with a different engine, and is incompatible with smbx2 on both a literal (i.e. 38a level files will most likely not work in smbx2) and a gameplay sense (38a physics and interactions are different). not to mention that smbx2 does not have all of the features of 38a built in as vanilla assets (though most if not all can be added with the help of lua).

there's no reason to harbor dislike for either engine, both have strenghts and weaknesses and are perfectly capable of coexisting. this is why preference is a thing that exists, and variety will statistically bring in more talented creators, so it's a win-win situation if you ask me.

A new trailer has been released now! Watch it if you're interested in!
