Hi, I'm making an Alex Kidd in Miracle World ROM hack with the help of the kidded tool http://emulicious.net/kidded/ and I was wondering since speedrunners are typically very able gamers, would anyone be interested in playtesting a few level designs to help me calibrate the difficulty? The main difference in the game compared to the original is more fluid physics; squats are no longer slow and drawn out, most importantly I beefed up the jump a lot to enable long jumps, and even something approximating wall kicks, like in the mario series. I would like at the very least to be able to release something that will challenge excellent gamers, whether or not I also make something for the casual fan. Let me know if you're interested! If you've speedrun AKIMW or similar platformers before you would be perfect to try this out.
Not really my thing but could also ask in one of the game fourms too like this one or any of the others https://www.speedrun.com/akimw/forum to get as many people involved as needed ^_^ good luck
Heh, didn't think of that, but I did contact many of the site's akimw runners through youtube so I should get some input from them and others :)
A little late, sorry, but how's the hack going?
Brazilians have a kinda "out of time n space" love relationship with Sega Master System and this game specially. If you find some in forums or in youtube channels a lot of people might enjoy and even publish your stuff.
