Today’s game development lesson is: “kill your darlings”. I spent a few days planning and executing a system in my game for something I’ve wanted to try for years: free, post-launch DLC levels.

After getting everything to work exactly right… I scrapped it. I just don’t think it was a good fit for the kind of game I’m making, which is kind of a bummer, but there’s always a next time.

Allow me to introduce you to my favorite menu in Notepad++:

The game is back on. Here’s a peek at a new gamemode I added a few a days ago.

Version 1.0 of my external Super Mario Flash level editor is out! https://doubledenial.github.io/marioflashhammer

Time to bring this feed back to “normal”, I guess.

I thought about releasing the Mario Flash editor yesterday, but I'm holding it back for one last round of polish. Here's what to expect:

• Bulk map editing; copy-paste in and between zones

• Adjust warps and zone widths dynamically

• Set level entrances and warp exits off the grid or overlapping each other

• Place invisible walls and custom victory triggers

• Save author attribution and commentary with level files

• Export levels as PNG images

• Load example files from the game's original 10 levels, or 7 new ones by yours truly

I’ve had tons of fun toying with it. Here's level 4 from the original game as an image!

No tool is too niche for its own dark theme

Wow Peep, I didn't know you were a 'teen!

I have to commend Firefox for the usability of its new AI assistant; it took me seven seconds to disable

Were-Peep

Who's out howling in the woods under the full moon? It can only mean lycanthropy, or perhaps drug use.

I’m doing a new Halloween pic this year, it’s just taking some time
