Last Legacy world map preview!

We decided to reveal some info about Last Legacy to show that we are still making progress on it (much more now that it's summer break). Here is a preview of what the overworld might end up looking like; you can click and drag the mouse to view more of the map.

The portals here represent the location of some of the levels we have planned. Also, we have an idea that for the near future we pick an area on the map and hold a level designing contest where people try to create the most fitting level. The winning levels may appear, in some form, in future versions of the game.

Note that the current engine for the character's movement is slightly outdated. In the final version, the character will have a double jump and ledge-grabbing ability, which will increase his max jump height by about 1 tile.

New update to Super Mario 63 level designer

So, I've made a small update to allow the level designer to function with the new level portal.

Yeah, I finally did it. Here are your Thwomps and Flame Throwers in the level designer. They were originally planned to be put in the level designer but due to time constraints (or me being eager to finally finish the game) I had left them out.

The 20th Level Designer Contest-Coming Soon!

Can you believe it's been nearly 20 contests already?

Yep, after three years, hundreds of entrants and 15 different winners, the Super Mario 63 level designer contest is reaching a large milestone! There's only one way to celebrate this- an incredible, all-out contest with a special theme and a legendary host! In fact, this host is so legendary that he won't be able to arrive until Monday. Can you wait until then for the LDC to start? We hope so- the community of Super Mario 63 designing is made out of people just like you!

Until then, have a good weekend.

In case you have never participated in a Level Designer Contest: The LDCs are events on the forums where you have to make a level for a certain theme in a limited time. If you are interested, you can see the entries for the 19th LDC here!
