iMacmatician's custom marble skins

As some of you are aware, I generally have not made my marble skins public, with a few exceptions such as WR Rampages. I've considered making them public for some time, and I've decided to do so now. Here's how the process will go.

Ever since I have made my own marble skins, I've made a new skin sometime around the middle of the year and retired the old one (so it will only appear on older runs).

Around the end of the year and the beginning of the next year, I plan to release the old skin to the public. So each of my marble skins will be available about half a year after it has been retired. This year is an exception for reasons including the fact that I haven't publicly released any of my marble skins previously.

The four marble skins I will release today are below. I made a new marble skin last month that I've been using for runs since then.

Marble Blast Levels: 32 Special Marble Skin


Higher-resolution versions will not be released (I'm not sure if I even have the high-res image for the first one anymore) at this time (can MBP even use higher-resolution skins?).

I can't believe you did this! Thank you! As a matter in fact, they can't.
EDIT: I'll use all of these marble skins for Marble Blast Levels: Compilation X!

Well done! I'll use the 2011-2012 marble skin for my next MBL Compilation.

These skins look awesome, I'm glad you released them

I thought 512x256 (or 256x256) was the only resolution that worked.

512x512 also works i think, but essentially you won't get much difference than 256x256 lol.

So, what you're saying is that if you want to design both a 2:1 AND a 1:1 texture, you should use a 512x512 & 512x256 INSTEAD of 256x256 & 512x256?

No, I mean Marble Blast will accept 256x256, 256x512, 512x512 as marble skins. 256x512 will give the best result as you then control both sides of the marble (256 pixels each) whereas the other two give you less room to play on (it wraps around the marble, so to get the 256x512 result you'd need to do 128x256 per side (a split down the middle)).

I have added the Marble skin 2013-2014.

The Marble Blast Levels: 32 Special Marble Skin has also been added earlier than originally planned due to a certain project that will be announced soon.
