Will the levels made in the invasion 3 Shadow Star be included?

No, they will not!
That iteration of The Invasion 3 had different goals compared to this one, and also a different set of tools to work with.

The Invasion 3 is generally meant to be a newer iteration of The Invasion series centered around SMBX2: it's meant to showcase the easily accessible features of SMBX2 (including the old ones) such as NPCs, custom graphics but also a bit of custom music and simpler lua features. (with explanations i...

I'll be done with the 1 level left this week. (I was done like a month ago with 40/42 though, it's just 2 levels that I didn't get around to reviewing until as of late, schoolyear start was exhausting)

One of my classmates has a noticeable chance of having caught the coronavirus but is not tested to avoid even the smallest possibility of sending the class home.

Btw I also hope for a bit of hilariousness in the level names.

It'd suck if that weren't the case wouldn't it?

Welcome to The Invasion 3 Discussion Thread! What is the purpose of this project? The Invasion 3 is generally meant to be a newer iteration of The Invasion series centered around SMBX2: it's meant to showcase the easily accessible features of SMBX2 (including the old ones) such as NPCs, custom graph...

I used to watch a Mario Forever youtube channel called "Daniel's Game Vault" and then he made a let's play of The Invasion 2 & The Great Empire.

A level I crafted "from scratch" but obviously inspired by a preexisting The Invasion 2 level. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSsWYOJ0iBs The way I'm envisioning the project's handling is a subforum like SLAM and a text channel in the SMBX Discord. (I don't think a separate server for the project i...

I could gather a list of levels with, as I already said, facetious names. I have never developped a fixed structure myself, I'm just saying that I wouldn't prefer building upon the old TI2 levels. I wouldn't want to 1on1 copy everything either but some levels can be altered in a way that is both re...

You're already overthinking the structure. I thought so, I didn't want to reuse that one as it seems a bit unruly and overthought. Not only that, it'd be pretty selfish to force that literal structure onto a community collab. But I do want to keep W1-3 simple and slowly escalate things going forwar...

I'd consider planning a new setup altogether. The episode is gonna be large enough. I mean I think that having 8 regular worlds, 2 side worlds and 1 postgame world is good enough. But we can certainly make W5-8 last longer, especially W8. There are just some gimmicks which are just way too cool to ...

Furthermore, for what it's worth, TI2's first half has a very smart structure, and I think it's worth leaning into that (how every world is primarily themed after a specific game, and world 3 onwards starts introducing extra elements like pwnhammer). The latter half kind of fell off as most of it f...

So today on Discord, in the #smbx channel, the topic of The Invasion 3 came up and how it could incorporate Beta 4's new features. The problem with past Invasion 3 iterations was that they were generally super-customized and did not aim to serve the same purpose as The Invasion 2. The new Invasion 3...

This looks really good ShadowStar. I like what I see. There are some really interesting concepts here like how you made the Birdo fight kind of exciting. I also like how there's more to do in each level after getting the SMW star, being given the choice to either continue or move on, it expands its...

Oh boy I am curious to see how this one turns out!
I like how the project has a unique graphical style even if it's a bit too desaturated.
The levels also seem distinct from each other, at least visually, I hope the gameplay will be diverse too.

Hey, so for level of the month, I was thinking about avoiding putting in any of the CCXN1 due to technicality reasons and instead just put the top X amount of levels into level of the year qualifications. What does everyone think as I would like feedback on what to do? I think the top 5 would be a ...
