  Thanks for featuring the Rip Lair stuff!!!<br>It&apos;s a sub-community of the SMBX community<br><br>A fangame community within a fangame community, which if it sounds confusing that&apos;s because it is.<br><br>Anyway, yeah we make a lot of things for the broader smbx community, we like giving to the community that we spawned from!<br><br>I hope you look forward to Ripro Bros when it released as well! I&apos;ll be truthful in that progress is a bit slow at the moment while we work on the powerup pack and battle arena, but I hope to kick things back when we&apos;re all feeling refreshed.<br><br>Thanks again for checking out our stuff, it was awesome to see you on the smbx direct livestream.

  Hey Ma! Look! My episode is mentioned!<br><br>But seriously, Super Mario &amp; the Star Prisms, is actually a much older episode. Its been on development since 2020! There were like 4 demos which went through various phases of SMBX2 betas/updates.<br><br>Currently, it&apos;s Demo 5, which will be the closest thing to a finished product. (Still a few levels will be missing, but all story beats and almost every boss will be featured besides 2 of the main antagonists)<br><br>Reign of Blackfrost Spirali, at first glance, was gonna be a much improved product. And it will still be, as I will learn more things with it plus it&apos;s a sequel to Star Prisms! So obviously, more stuff will be revealed after Star Prisms Demo 5 is out!<br><br>As always, thanks for the shout out and mention! And the other projects too! The whole direct was packing heat!

  Epic video!!!!! <br>A couple SMBX things I&apos;d like to mention: <br> <br>The Rip Lair is indeed going to take over the world under the awesome power of Mr. Rip <br>(ok but seriously, we&apos;re a group of dedicated SMBXers out to make fun adventures for people to play &nbsp;- including Super Ripro Bros. and the recently released Rip-Princess Cliche - and cool assets for people to use - such as our colossal Online GFX Pack and Powerup Pack!) <br> <br>As for why people were so hyped for SMSO2&apos;s reveal, a little backstory: Last year I released SMSO1 as a short, traditional adventure inspired by SMW rom-hacks, in which Mario must traverse the galaxy to save Toad and Toadette from Bowser Jr.&apos;s wrath. And people really seemed to enjoy it, so a sequel is now in the works! This time around, it will be a full-length, universe-exploring adventure where Mario, Luigi, and a flying robot toaster (yes seriously) must prevent a once-thriving city in the cosmos from being reduced to space junk (oh, and to make matters worse, Peach also needs rescuing)<br><br>Thanks for tuning in and we hope you enjoy our projects! 👀

  Thanks for featuring Midnight Museum Mania on there! For a passion project that&apos;s pretty much two years in the making, I&apos;m glad everyone is still on board with supporting it to completion.<br><br>Honestly, funny that it started as me wanting to make Mario vs. Donkey Kong fangame into a SMBX project. It spiraled into something else, utilizing a lot of the SMBX community&apos;s coding gimmicks, NPCs and stuff to create new puzzles that are fun to solve.<br><br>About each perspective of the episode, I&apos;d want to clarify: this is how the Plus Level system is handled. Much like Mario vs. DK, you get Plus Levels, but in the form of Michi and Shy Shadow cooperating to steal the Star Gems. It&apos;s also a system inspired by Sonic Adventure 2 that I wanted to do, which allows me to create a story that&apos;s intertwined between different points of view. I&apos;d recommend playing both sides to see the full story, but be warned - Michi&apos;s story has EVEN tougher puzzles, hence the Plus levels moniker.<br><br>Also yes I worked on the Battle Pack too! While not showcased in the trailer, I worked on two battle stages, and added costumes like Ironmouse, the Original Starwalker, and even the Roaring Knight into the pack. Hope you enjoyed it!
