VLDC9 Release Thread [v1.11 out!] (WIP secret exit/switch palace guide in first post! 12/18/16)

Link Thread Closed
The amount of effort that's went into this hack is impressive.
I'll have to give a play when I get some downtime.

Well done everyone. ^.^

Glad to see this has been finally released!

Sadly I can't play it right now because rip keyboard lol.

looks like it will take a full year to 100% it


EDIT: found some minor cutoff in All Hail Megamole (first level I played)

nothing to say

Level-specific bugs don't need to be reported since the entries were submitted with those bugs in the first place. However, if you or anyone else spots any collab-specific bugs (i.e. screen exits that lead to level 0, broken music, broken events/exits, etc), those are the ones we want to hear about.
Hey, wouldn't be nice the OW sprites being released together with the soundtrack?

I (Personally) think that many people should find a very good and creative use of them (specially the cablecar and the springboard) just like most people did with the soundtrack of every VLDC collab.
Thank you Jack, and thank you everyone else who submitted a level and helped with the mostrous compilation. Judging this and being part of the overworld creation was a whole lot of fun, testing more or less. But I'm really glad it was all worth it and I hope all of you have a blast playing it! I have played through all of those levels twice already, but even I feel like giving the (finally) completed version a relaxed try. It's that nice.

Tsutarja: maybe you wanna hit up leod and Medic about the sprites. Far as I'm aware of they recoded the overworld sprite system entirely, so it might not be something easy to make user friendly?
I have to ask a question. If anyone remembers I (Final Theory) made a submission entry to this collab and posted it saying "here is my entry". Later on I was told that I posted my entry in the show off thread and not in the official submission thread.

I made a public post saying that this was an accidental mistake and that it should have been posted in the official thread and not in the showoff thread.

Now I don't mind if my level wasn't judged because of the mix up, but I know that this collab took many months to put together and that there was plenty of time indeed to insert my level.

So my question is, did my level ever get inserted into the hack or not?

okay


Anyways, this hack is looking impressive so far. I'm really amazed about all you guys managed to do, from the overworld to the ASM.

Congratulations for everybody involved - you did a great work!

we didn't have enough space for it

The soundtrack will definitely be released, likely in the next few days. I believe there are 12 map themes + 4-5 remixes, so they'll be submitted to the music section just like VLDC7's and VLDC8's were.

Final Theory: No, your level was not inserted. Only levels that were posted in the submissions thread (which has been the standard for the past nine years) were inserted. Sorry - the 10th VLDC is starting very soon though, so you're welcome to try again and post your entry in the right thread for that one.
Ok now I'm really, really glad to see this finally released! It's better late than never, and I have already started playing some levels at random. Thank you everyone for managing to make this possible with your contributions, and also thank you Jack for never giving up and seeing this through to the end. I could imagine the effort put during the whole process.

i dont see myself actually playing this thing, but oh my god the vaporwave map has left me mesmerized. I had to disable "pause when inactive" so i could keep listening to the song while I posted this. Just
wow

e: wowee these overworld sprites. i've told this game to shut up with its nonsense like 6 times in the past minute. a lot of this stuff is so minor yet so effective. top notch work
(starting to think VLDC is just a front for an asm showcase. I hope there's an overworld contest where the [ R E D A C T E D ] get to do whatever the hell they want for the levels it contains lol)
e2: what do the letters next to some places mean? judge favorite im assuming
ask me if i give a f*ck...
Maaaaan this is so neat so far. I've gotten 38 exits today.

Is there any reason all the level names are all caps tho?
that's just jack being jack

(i think there's only one level that isn't in caps, and it's not even in the main game lol) disregard, jack fixed this before the release and i owe koopster a lot of money
THIS IS THE MOST EPIC HACK XD:D

:):O#ab{8-)}
excellent job on this guys. really liking the end result. this was going to be a boring week anyways so i can say this came in a really good time w.w
The power of the switch you have pressed will turn ◻ into ◼. Your progress will also be saved.
Hmm... I wonder... If there was actual progression: Grass -> Resort -> (Complete Forest) Mountain -> Snow -> Cave -> Ghost -> Space -> Abstract; Best and Worst would probably be secret worlds.

On a more serious note, I noticed "Simple Path"'s tile is yellow when it should be red. Also, it might just be me, but piranha stems are glitched squares.

I like it this way. Really suits worst world.

Reasonable order, though most people have done the worst world first to get it out of the way. I'd save the space and abstract maps for right before the best world, as they're the most interesting.

We found this secret exit during beta testing - none of the judges caught it, and rightfully so, as it's not obvious at all where it is. Jack updated the checkmarks to reflect this, but forgot to change the icon to red. It'll be fixed in an updated version (but it's still not too big of a deal).

It's only in "Green Meadow", and that's only because the author submitted the level like that.
