Introduction I’ve always been interested in appraising level design for various reasons: Levels were always my favorite part o’ video games & level design was the part o’ game development that interested me the most. It’s not focused on as much by most reviewers as what seems to me much mo’ shallow elements o’ a […]

After o’er a decade o’ ne’er truly playing a Wii1, I got 1, & having tried the Wii Mario games, — the Super Mario Galaxys & New Super Mario Bros.: Wii Bootleg Ourselves — I’m amused by the indignant scoffing o’ grown-adult Mario fans who grew up with the series & feel the need to […]
Play in the Background For some reason, whenever I claim that the next level I make will be something, that’ll turn out to be a lie. This is a rehash o’ a gimmick from Legend of the Four Switches, ’cept half-competently implemented so that you can’t just jump on the switches themselves to bypass the […]
Audio I finally got round to adding sound to this game, after almost a whole year o’ silence. The music is all royalty-free songs offered to the public by Kevin MacLeod on Incompetech, which may be temporary, may not be. Since I have no musical skills, I can’t imagine how I’d make a decent soundtrack […]
Actually, in my defense, from what I’ve seen, Super Mario Odyssey looks so good it might e’en rival Super Mario 64, which is god-tier — something I’m writing a huge article ’bout, which you should expect sometime within the next 5 years maybe. So Nintendo has shown that they can not fuck things up when […]
Swanky New Title Screen I finally got sick o’ looking @ that basic white screen with plain black option text. Since I noticed many o’ the Game Boy Color games I used as inspiration, such as Wario Land 3 & Super Mario Bros. Deluxe, used slow scrolling backgrounds, I used it, too. The only problem […]
A bit late ’cause it’s an odd year &, seriously, nobody cares ’bout odd years, ’specially not the hip kids, who probably care mo’ ’bout Mayor Pauline & her city o’ freakish uncanny valley realistic humans in that new-fangled Mario game than Seattle’s mayor being replaced ’cause he touched kiddies in their hoo-haws. When I […]
A 2fer this time. The Minus Touch No, I still couldn’t get OpenShot to work with this footage; but Kdenlive decided it wanted to start working ’gain for some reason. Part o’ me feels like I went a bit too far with this level, as my long sequence o’ deaths show in the video. I […]
The 1st real1 program I e’er remember writing was in what I thought was C++, but was closer to C. The header includes were C-style & none o’ my programs used classes ( though there is a C-style struct ) or STL. The only thing “C++” ’bout this program was that it had a CPP […]
