Stream Newsletter - 2016/03 | #1 of 4

▤▤▤▤▤▤ FOREWORD
I've been working hard to recoup and show greater appreciation for my viewers/subs/fans/friends. Your support is what makes streaming possible, makes seeing the love of my life possible (Venom <3), and I am a changed person now for it!

You'll notice some extreme accountability when I miss stream ETAs, deadlines, or negligence. This is what I'm aiming to do and what you can expect as an entitled viewer and/or sub:

• Newsletters are actually coming back to weekly status (every Sunday)
• YouTube Highlights live every weekday (5/week)
• Stream at least 5 days a week (trying for 6) w/ Sundays off (to catch up on stream prep/production/reply to DM's/RL errands; not actually a day off•off, lol)

Not formal yet, but I want to eventually include at least 1 of these per stream week:
• 1 Yoshi Island run
• 1 Photoshop Stream
• 2 DDR Dancepad sessions (These should be resuming shortly, needed to gym hard to recover gains lost from while Venom was down, ;;)

Hopefully you've seen plenty of that this week with big momentum! <3 Ty for being patient!

▤▤▤ New SMM Update
March 9th was the 3rd major Mario Maker update launch! It added SUPER EXPERT 100man (6 levels, all with 2% clear rate or less) and a few other toys:

• Super Thwomps
• Keys & Key Doors (You can have 4 sets of keys; 4 key doors)
• Ability to equip keys to enemies & force a battle (ex: Bowser has key; key only appears after he is killed)
• Pink coins (5 coins per room; 10 coins max per level; any # of coins allowed for creators • 1 to 10)
• A key appears once all coins are collected (key follows you automatically, Mario doesn't have to hold it)

▤▤▤ Am now a level creator! Made my 1st level!
After much hesitation about ever making a level, or living up to the expectations of how good "a trihex level" could be. At first it was rocky, but after the 1st hour, I soon found a groove and 4 days later, 19.5 hours total of work, it is finished:

Live Free or TriHard (EP 1) @ https://supermariomakerbookmark.nintendo.net/courses/4A05•0000•01E8•C285

My goal was for a 5•10% clear rate. As a maker, I always wanted whatever I'd make to be accessible, original, fun, and speedrun•friendly. It's a fine line to balance, but certainly possible with extensive play•testing, tinkering, and attention to detail!

Unfortunately, it's Super Expert for many reasons, oversights, and faults. But they're all things I'm excited to take into account and make MORE levels! This isn't a one time thing <3

I will make at least 4 EP's (1 for each engine style), all without a specific focus, but rather experimentation with ideas I have in respect to each engine (SMB, SMB3, SMW, NSMB). After the EP series, I can retire from mixtapes and go into full formal levels, preferrably with a narrative.

And in the far future, a Super TriHard World *could* be a thing! =D

▤▤▤ New Level Feedback Form
If you've played the level, I encourage you to check out this feedback form and help me better understand (aside from the obvious mistakes) what I need to do to make future levels better and less msitakes!
