im not someone whose brain has been particularly wired by tumblr so it always makes me laugh when a post cycles through and gets a bunch of notes again. there are many fans of that guy sucking at megaman. well, my update on him is that he has sadly been executed for failing to meet expectations. gamers deserve no mercy
yuuuupppp… late night cross shadows update baby… we’re officially halfway through the fic. (it better be halfway anyways, it’s already god damn 170k words) the plot is slowly unraveling before our eyes
yuuuuup it’s been a sec but newwww cross shadows update drop now. i couldn’t write for most of december so i made this really long to compensate. So long in fact that AO3 rate limited me trying to post all of this at once (???? that can happen???)

“Rules: Make a 24hr poll listing the titles of every WIP you want to work on. (It’s fine if you only have one, still make a poll for the vote count). Whichever WIP title gets the most votes, write 1 sentence for every vote received.”
i actually don’t have very many WIPs.. just finishing a major project will do that to you. i guess i can think of a couple things though… might be a slight stretch to put them here considering they don’t have a ton of progress but it’s ok.
huh that is not what i expected to win. well that’s 12 votes i think so here come twelve sentences about funny super mario world.
i’ve wanted to make a solo SMW hack for a while, but it’s been kinda on and off. i have a concept but have stopped in the middle of making one level twice now, so those WIPs are just sitting on my drive. i do feel strongly about my concept and want to go back to it at some point, but it’s hard to find the right moment where i decide “yes, this is what i’m committing to.”
the thought that’s been on my mind recently is that i originally was thinking of making a super hard run the gauntlet inspired hack out of my concept, but i’ve been thinking about level length more and decided that maybe i should just try making something shorter/easier on a per level basis. it would be a lot more lightweight to make, after all, and more people would just play it to begin with lol. spatial whirl was a catalyst for this in my head, i really like that hack and i think it sets itself apart a ton from like, your typical variety collab hack, because it’s a more humble package adding up to a greater whole. i think i tend to like the variety collab style more than most, but spatial whirl is just really solid, smooth mario that isn’t too overly ambitious. i have really been valuing the platonic ideal Classic Mario lately and it’s basically that hack’s fault - i have a newfound addiction to random coins and hidden 1 ups and bonus rooms and other such arts that have been lost in the style of Gimmicky Standard. i have a long way to go with being able to quickly make those types of levels though, and i am especially not doing that great on the length thing considering the last level i made was 1F screens lol.
i don’t want to say too much about the concept i have in my head because it is pretty out there and i want it to be a surprise if i do inevitably end up making it. it does involve a concept i think that SMW hacks never really do well and that i want to give a real shot at, though. you must understand that i am unable to make anything that will ever have mass appeal, so instead i will veer down the dark path of showing the world my twisted mind; you may interpret this however you’d like.
