Hello all,
I've registered here to post to hopefully reach a bunch of any of the people who have speedran or are strong at AKIMW, on the SMS. I'm writing because I am currently in the process of using KiddEd to create a full ROM hack of the original Alex Kidd, which I intend to be much harder [think Lost Levels, approaching NES hard in some segments]. Although I have a full raft of changes intended, I wanted to ask any of you interested, about what YOU would find difficult in such a game, in RTA running for speed, and playing normally, wherein I infer you would be a far stronger-than-average sample of players.
If you have any suggestions, comments on what about the original you found hardest [and what you find to be unfair], or other questions, PM me ideas or reply here. [If your comment refers to ideas for difficulty points, pm me so as not to give the ideas to fellow gamers, and spoil their future surprise]. I'd also really appreciate if you guys who ARE interested could spread your wings to contact others on other fora I may not be aware of, or any other strong gamers you think would enjoy a super challenging hack, to get their views too.
I can also PM screenshots and describe some of the more advanced concepts to anyone who wants to know to respond better, so long as you promise to keep that info schtum![Lips Sealed](/file/POljIDTx5LPyAZ36y4jxd2nIdYQ)
