A Koopa’s Revenge

Lambta.co Games has reached one million video views on youtube! So to celebrate I’m doing another secret permanent powerup reveal. This time it’s the Space Jump with all it’s Metroidy goodness.

Moved the original Shy Guy Reveal Trailer from the old MCSM Studios facebook page to the new Lambta.co one. It’s a facebook exclusive, so if you want to give it a gander, check us out on facebook.

I’m probably going to remove the old MCSM Studios facebook page. It’s still getting like and such. And it’s pulling attention away from our new page. Which admittedly is just me reposting all the videos from youtube. I don’t know what I’m doing with the facebook page,but give us a like anyway?

AKR2 version 1.12 is out. It’s a bug fix release, so it’s not a huge deal. The one big fix is to the cut scenes that play on the main menu. They were replaying the same one over and over, instead of cycling through. I also managed to lower the filesize while maintaining audio quality. So if you’re hosting the game, head over to the Share Our Games Page to pick up the latest version.

And if I broke anything in the game, please let me know as soon as possible. Many small things were changed and dome large things may have been affected in the process.

I’ll now be starting on version 1.2, which is a more major update. There’ll be new animations and changes to some mechanics. I’m also taking suggestions, so if you have an idea of how to improve the game leave a comment to let me know. Keep in mind though, that I’m only going to be making reasonably sized changes for a game that’s essentially done. I most likely won’t be adding whole new levels or powerups.

EDIT: I forgot to mention. I changed Burgerstein’s sliders so you kick them on contact like Baby Marios. They can’t hurt you any more and you usually kick them into your own hands. Should make the fight more manageable.

My longest video yet at seventeen minutes. It shows off the little shortcut warps in every level that get you to the end as fast as possible. Might be useful for speedrunning or just getting through a level that’s giving you trouble. There are a few spoilers beyond what the video title implies, but it’s impossible to miss them when using the shortcuts.

This is also the first video I made using Bandicam. It looks a bit jpeggy at times, but it’s mostly in the background and it’s not noticeable if you’re not looking for it. I’ll be playing with the settings. I did experience a bit of control lag though. I didn’t get that with my old methods. It’s not so bad after a while, but you may notice me slipping around a bit in the video. The sound captures 4 frames (30fps) lout of sync, but that’s easily fixed because it’s a consistent delay. I’m probably going to stick with this setup because it doesn’t require the videos be processed like my old setup.

I finally got AKR2 to export properly on my new computer! Previously I had to do all work for the game on my old desktop setup from 2007, as the game wouldn’t export with the music on my new expensive 2014 laptop. This is a big breakthrough, and I’ll be able to work on the game without it being a huge hassle now.

I am proud to announce Lambta.co’s gaming youtube channel has reached 1000 subscribers! So here’s a bonus video revealing the second location of the coveted Rush Coil.

My next A Koopa’s Revenge 2 video is going to reveal the little warps that take you to the end of the level. In case you weren’t aware, in each level of AKR2, there is a warp, via pipe or otherwise, that will take the player through a short area that leads to the very end of the level. The trouble is I’m not sure what the best words are to describe it succinctly and cleary.

What would you call such a video?

Remember your idea before you read mine. Then click through for the rest.

I’ve separated the other people’s AKR2 videos playlists on youtube into two distinct lists, videos with commentary and videos without. Because I feel like they have somewhat different appeals. If you want to see some people playing the game. Check e’m out.

With Commentary:

Without Commentary:

Just in time for Lambta.co Tuesday, at least in my timezone. I would have had it out sooner but for three reasons: 1 I’m a procrastinator, 2 deadlines are more motivating, and 3 it takes forever to upload an HD video. I think I might have to change internet providers. My upload speed is pathetic.

Anyway, this is a video showcasing all the powerups of AKR2, as suggested by a viewer. Most of the videos for AKR2 have been guides, so I decided it was time to do one that was more of a hype video. Enjoy, y’all.
