I had to "Old Yeller" my old laptop, a laptop that has given me a decade of entertainment, became the ultimate retro console thanks to emulators, and has allowed me to pursue my dream of being a game designer with both RPG Maker & SMBX. Now, ALL of that work, is gone. This is not how my 40th birthday should be. I am dead inside now. I just don't give a shit about anything anymore ;_;

Here are my Let's Tests for Solitayre's updated levels & Frogge's Overgrown Grove:
Mushroom Samba (W1):
Overgrown Grove (W3):
Mushroom Underground (W4):
Super Penguin Bros. (W5):
Trails in the Sky (W6):
Future Shock (W8):
I'll be doing Let's Tests for pyrodoom's Bill Bouncing in Billowy Brumes & Hali's Devastation tonight & I'll try to get version 1 of my final level, Yoshi's World Tour done over the weekend. Btw Hali, are any of my other levels not fully accepted yet? Like Gen. Fly Guy's Air Force, Barrel Volcano & Mini-Boss Factory?

That's exactly right, but you're also the only one really giving any feedback at all. I know everyone has their lives outside here and I dropped quite a ton on them when my feedback was finished, but apart from Isrieri and you, it's been dead quiet.
I don't mean to call people out by saying this, but once the stages are finished and the project's compiled, I won't make a public release until I feel it's received sufficient testing from the group in here. It's our game; the least we can do is play it and patch things up.
I agree completely. I've always had this peeve about game creators creating a game & releasing it without properly testing it themselves. They just expect everybody else to play their game & send them error reports as if the general public are a bunch of free beta testers. If you're going to release a game at least have the decency to test the game out for any potential game breaking bugs & glitches & make sure everything runs properly and nobody understands whether a game is functioning properly better than the one(s) who developed it.
Lack of feedback isn't the only problem. It seems some people have made placeholders for levels right before the deadline & have made NO UPDATES whatsoever this whole time! (not mentioning any names)

That path! I took the warning too literally & thought that if I tried to go past the statues that they would literally burn me alive & get a game over instantly! You probably should reword that warning to something like "If thou wishes to proceed then prove thyself in a trial by fire" or something like that.
As for the World Map issue, I distinctively remember a script that helps produce an actual image directly from the game itself. You can find the script here if you plan on making an actual screenshot image world map: http://www.rpgmakercentral.com/topic/3266-map-screenshot/
Anyway, thanks for the help. After my initial playthough, I give it a review & sometime in the future replay it as a Let's Play series.

Bryan, have I thanked you lately for all that you've been doing? Because it really is extremely helpful. Like, you have no idea. I'm not even trying to butter you up 'cuz of Cryo, either; you're like a lifeline for me.
You mean because I provide not just texted based feedback but actual gameplay footage, which gives you better insight to how a level is played & what goes through a player's mind as they try to complete each stage?
It's a shame that I'm the only one who is recording their test plays so others can see, not just read, on how a level plays out.
Dragon Warrior: Begin a New Quest
Hi. I'm at the end of the game now but there's a few things I'm having trouble with.
1 - How in the hell do I get into the Hidden Library in the cave that leads to the underworld? I've been through both the entrance at Ong & the old man's shed north of Matarona. I've literally spent hours grinding against monsters trying to find a way in (from both sides) but I can't find a way in?
2 - 3rd path to the Underworld. The game references that there are actually 3 different paths. I've found the 2 that I already mentioned. If the travel door at Rubiss' Shrine doesn't count then where is the 3ed way in? Maybe it allows access to the hidden library.
3 - What are the alchemy ingredients Gold Bar, Perfect Diamond & Brimstone Marble for? I'm on the last recipe now (combining 3 staves) & those 3 never came up as needed ingredients. It's mentioned that there are 5 ingredients in order of value so I hesitated to sell them yet.
I've also got some complaints as well.
1 - Leaves of the World Tree suck! They only revive you at 1 HP, only to die immediately afterward when in battle. The original DW/DQ games always had them revive you at full HP (like the Revive spell).
2 - Wizard Rings suck too! I've come across 3 in my 100+ hours of playing & each and every one of those damn things broke after the 1st use. I don't know what their breaking rate % is, but in the original games they had like a 10% chance of breaking.
3 - The Sun Crest should've completely lit up the cave that holds the Mirror of Ra. I spent a ridiculous amount of hours getting lost in there. I actually overlooked the staircase leading down to it because those tunnels that form square loops made me not think there was anything else in that section.
4 - Star Crest puzzle had no explanation to solve it whatsoever. I thought it was a 'Lights Out' type of puzzle until I noticed that each switch actually triggered it's entire row & column. Solving that puzzle was nothing short of beginner's luck.
5 - Ramona & Hero fight was WHY TO CHEAP! I was at level 45 or slightly higher & she slaughtered my party easily. It took a few tries to learn that having a Bounce effect is what determines whether you live or die in that fight.
6 - For the longest time I could not figure out how to proceed in the Rubiss Seal Dungeon. I couldn't figure out how to get past those stupid star labeled walls. It felt like a total fluke when I stumbled across another small medal at the old man's house near the Moon Tower & ran off to get me another Sage's Focus & my medal amount went over 50 (I knew that was the amount he wanted). Then to have him hand over the 'Mysterious Keystone' which removes those stupid star walls. Shame on you for not leaving some sort of hint that that was how to get past that part (it was driving nuts for several hours!)
7 - Empyrea won't land on snow, dirt roads (Fortier) or swamps. Swamps may be understandable but not landing on snow or dirt roads makes no sense.
8 - It would've been nice if you actually included a real World Map in-game. The image file version is bare-bones & lackluster as is & I can tell through zooming that you purposely covered up some landmarks on that map. In fact, a map of the underworld would be nice too, even though most of the paths in there are linear as hell.
Anyway, I hope you'll help me with the Hidden Library at least, since I don't have the patience to keep searching for it & as a completionist, it's driving me insane!

Here's some more Let's Tests by me. First up is version 2 of Hali's Col. Cryo's Cruelly Cold Cathedral:
And here's version 7 of my Barrel Volcano (for the love of god please let this be the last revision I have to do with Barrel Volcano! I just wanna see this level get finalized & put it behind me!):
I see some of the levels from Solitayre & Frogge have been updated recently. I do some Let's Tests for those tonight.

Had to revision Barrel Volcano again! Grrrr!
Definitely looking forward to doing a Let's Test of that tonight. I kinda feel sorry for World 7, so much neglect :(

At long last, I finished Col. Cryo's Cruelly Cold Cathedral! I'm pretty happy with it, but it may be a little too devious for world 5. Testing is needed!
In the meantime, I'm moving on with the first of our end-game boss stages, Devastation...
Definitely looking forward to doing a Let's Test of that tonight. I kinda feel sorry for World 7, so much neglect :(
