Despite not having a topic posted on these forums for months this project has been in constant production.

Looks nice zephyr. Can I give you a suggestion? After your finished with this can you join the "The Invasion 3" crew? We need as many designers/judges as possible, especially judges. You don't need to but it would be great to have your great level designing to be in our community collab.

The Metroid level looks fantastic. Finally someone finds use for the Super Metroid stuff that I made for Brinstar Vegetation.

Yeah all the stuff you made for that level really came in handy. That must have taken so much time.

Officially, we now only have 11 more levels to go! After years of trial and error, it's exciting that this long awaited episode is finally heading down the home stretch.

Good to see that this is still going, really. I eagerly, eagerly anticipate this episode. I remember when the original was one of the defaults packaged with SMBX. Good times…

Anyhoo, is Chad actually still designing levels, or is that just an artifact because he designed some earlier ones? I thought he left the community.

Chad quit but I think he made a few levels.

Yeah, what Valtteri said. Chad made 4 levels before leaving the forums, but I still feel we owe it to him to give him his due credit.

Oh, of course. I wasn't disputing whether you should credit him or not (he was a great guy and a fantastic level designer), I was just wondering if you people were still in contact with him.

Unfortunately, no. After Chad submitted his last level, he told me he was taking a break, and may or may not be back, and I haven't heard from him since. That was months ago, but I agree he will be missed.

It's nice to see this is an official SMBX episode. And I thought Chad left SMBX for good. Nice to see him back though...

He isn't back. He's listed as a designer because he made levels for the game before leaving.
