| Posted by: Ultramario Jun 7 2008, 12:09 PM |
| Yes, I finally won a competition! Also congratulations to Simoneister for the second place! The theme this time is Koopas. Game must be involved around Koopas (or any related characters like Hammer Brothers, Lakitus etc...). Other characters can make cameos, but Koopas must be the main focus. Deadline is the 12th of July (NO MORE EXTENSIONS!). If you have any questions, just ask. |
| Posted by: Guinea Jun 7 2008, 12:10 PM |
| Boo-Ya! I might whip up something. But I always say that stuff. |

| Sweet idea Entering |
| Posted by: Datt Jun 7 2008, 12:14 PM |
| I'm going to attempt to enter.. |
| Posted by: Miaxis Jun 7 2008, 12:14 PM |
| Qustion,does it count if there are koopa shells only? |
| Posted by: Ultramario Jun 7 2008, 12:27 PM | ||
I suppose yes. |
| Posted by: Miaxis Jun 7 2008, 12:28 PM |
| Okay,count me in then. |
| Posted by: Guinea Jun 7 2008, 12:40 PM |
| Holy crab, I DO have an idea! |
| Posted by: Zero Kirby Jun 7 2008, 01:07 PM |
| Aw damn I have this little mini-game that's like 2 years old that has Koopas in it It'd be perfect for this competition Oh, well. I'm sure I can come up with something else. Then again, I said that in the last competition. Which reminds me. *punches self in the face really hard* |
| Posted by: Boomb Jun 7 2008, 01:13 PM |
| Well i have 4 days to wip something up... 4 days... Maybe not. |
| Posted by: Elyk Jun 7 2008, 01:19 PM |
| ...I was just going to make a game involving Koopas |
| Posted by: Pucifur Jun 7 2008, 02:56 PM |
| >:/ my movement engine is acting up, but here's what I've got: And uh.. |
| Posted by: Datt Jun 7 2008, 03:45 PM |
| Oh, heres a question. Does the player have to be a Koopa? |
| Posted by: Guinea Jun 7 2008, 03:54 PM | ||
I think yes. Having koopa as a regular enemy for example would work with EVERY theme and would just be an excuse for you to make a regular Mario platformer with only koopas as enemies or something. But I didn't make the competition, so I'm not sure. |
| Posted by: Ultramario Jun 7 2008, 04:00 PM | ||
Yes. |
| Posted by: Morrad Jun 7 2008, 04:27 PM |
| Entering, this time it'll get done. |
| Posted by: Miaxis Jun 7 2008, 04:37 PM |
| Another question,does there have to be a playable character? |
| Posted by: Hohoo Jun 7 2008, 04:47 PM |
| I think I might enter this time... It'll be my first thing written using Pygame. |
| Posted by: Pucifur Jun 7 2008, 04:55 PM | ||
I assume you have an idea like a point-and-click game. I'm sure that would be fine if the premise of the game revolved around Koopas, but I didn't make the competition so... |
| Posted by: Ultramario Jun 7 2008, 04:58 PM | ||
That's pretty much the answer to the question. |
| Posted by: Guinea Jun 7 2008, 05:02 PM | ||
You're not using d3d, right? Because the sprites would be scaled otherwise. But looking good nevertheless! |
| Posted by: Deathbringer Raikyo Jun 7 2008, 05:07 PM |
| Entering! Oh and I have a question. Is a tamagotchi-ish game allowed?   |
| Posted by: Ultramario Jun 7 2008, 05:08 PM | ||
Yes. |
| Posted by: Black Boo Jun 7 2008, 05:29 PM |
| This could be fun. And I can devote all my attention to this after finals are done, so I won't be late! |
| Posted by: Pucifur Jun 7 2008, 05:29 PM | ||
Nah, no d3d. I had considered it, but I decided it was too much programming for too little profit. I'm using a Mario-Party inspired method of a 2D background made to look 3D. The floor moves convincingly, but I think I need to remake its animation cause it flickers a bit. And thanks! |
| Posted by: Keyser Soze Jun 7 2008, 06:13 PM |
| I'm thinking some kind of RTS... But maybe not, because formation coding is hell. |
| Posted by: Bigbowsa Jun 7 2008, 06:23 PM |
| I'll be SURE not to wait until there's 5 days left in the comp left to wip something up. Can Bowser be involved in the game? I know Bowser's different than a regular koopa, but he IS the king of them however. |
| Posted by: Ultramario Jun 7 2008, 06:41 PM | ||
Bowser IS a Koopa, so Yes. |
| Posted by: kremling Jun 7 2008, 09:20 PM |
| Great idea! I should get started now. |
| Posted by: Simoneister Jun 7 2008, 11:31 PM |
| If I can think of a good idea, I'll probably make something. |
| Posted by: The Superhero Jun 8 2008, 11:58 AM |
| I have an idea... Let's hope I will finish this one. This theme was very popular. |
| Posted by: Morrad Jun 8 2008, 12:40 PM |
 Ninja koopa! |
| Posted by: Keyser Soze Jun 8 2008, 01:30 PM | ||
If the environment is as stylized as the Koopa this could be cool. |
| Posted by: Elyk Jun 8 2008, 04:15 PM |
| magikoopas count, right? |
| Posted by: Ultramario Jun 8 2008, 04:20 PM | ||
Well, duh! |
| Posted by: Elyk Jun 8 2008, 04:22 PM | ||
looks like I'm off to work then! okay, I need to make something that isn't a puzzle platformer |
| Posted by: Ultramario Jun 8 2008, 08:38 PM |
Guess what game this'll be passed on. |
| Posted by: Black Boo Jun 8 2008, 09:57 PM |
| What? |
| Posted by: Miaxis Jun 9 2008, 12:17 AM |
| I think he means based.I think ume,right? |
| Posted by: Wolfgator Jun 9 2008, 01:01 AM |
| Hell yeah, i'm entering! |

| Posted by: LocoRoo Jun 9 2008, 04:08 AM |
| I'm so entering this one. And could someone please tell does the attached "sprite" look good? I'm going to use it for my game. |
| Posted by: Guinea Jun 9 2008, 04:48 AM | ||
If that ain't Lost Vikings, I eat my keyboard and mouse. |
| Posted by: Ultramario Jun 9 2008, 06:07 AM | ||
It indeed is. |
| Posted by: Sploder Jun 9 2008, 06:38 AM |
| I have an idea... Hey, BTW, are we allowed to use .dll's made by someone else, like supersound or something? |
| Posted by: Ultramario Jun 9 2008, 06:44 AM | ||
Why not? (aka Yes) |
| Posted by: Elyk Jun 9 2008, 07:19 AM | ||
it's a little too big |
| Posted by: Guinea Jun 9 2008, 07:55 AM |
| WIP Screen from my entry. The name is "Splinter Shell". You can probably tell what it will be about   |
| Posted by: Ultramario Jun 9 2008, 08:06 AM |
| Isn't it like the most obvious thing ever? |
| Posted by: Miaxis Jun 9 2008, 08:20 AM |
| Splinter Cell,lol. btw @Ultramario,I thought the creator of the comp isnīt allowed to enter? |
| Posted by: Guinea Jun 9 2008, 08:28 AM | ||
The creator is allowed to enter. You can just not vote for him if you think he had an unfair advantage. |
| Posted by: Miaxis Jun 9 2008, 08:33 AM |
| Okay thanks.I could swear there was a rule disallowing that......not that I wouldnīt like to see another of ultraīs minigames. |
| Posted by: Ultramario Jun 9 2008, 08:44 AM |
| I'm only not able to start the next, if I win this one too. |
| Posted by: JosJuice Jun 9 2008, 09:06 AM |
| I'll enter this. |
| Posted by: Soiyeruda Jun 9 2008, 09:29 AM |
| Yay! Something I can actually code this time...... NO STEALING MY IDEA! Idea: Your mission is to guide koopas to the exit, in order to gain their wings. It'll act like that Mini Mario game where you control a bunch of wind up toy marios. There will be more than one type of koopa. Example: Fire Koopa: Has immunity to all fire based obstacles. Water Koopa: Has the ability to swim over water. |
| Posted by: phazonluigi Jun 9 2008, 11:36 AM | ||
Damn Guinea Why do you have to be so Goddamn Great. <_< Oh guys this is PwNaGe! here is my idea: Your mission is to guide koopas to the exit, in order to gain their wings. It'll act like that Mini Mario game where you control a bunch of wind up toy marios. There will be more than one type of koopa. Example: Fire Koopa: Has immunity to all fire based obstacles. Water Koopa: Has the ability to swim over water. |
| Posted by: Morrad Jun 9 2008, 11:48 AM | ||
Unless he covers the entire screen, he's WAAY too big my friend. |
| Posted by: Elyk Jun 9 2008, 12:12 PM |
| I'm making a Koopa Colosseum. |
| Posted by: Miaxis Jun 9 2008, 12:25 PM |
Okay, I guess itīs time for me to give away info too..... Looks familiar? |
| Posted by: Bigbowsa Jun 9 2008, 12:32 PM |
| Good luck to everybody entering! By the way you guys can come up with some great ideas  |
| Posted by: LocoRoo Jun 9 2008, 12:33 PM | ||
Uhhh.... Breakout? |
| Posted by: Miaxis Jun 9 2008, 12:34 PM | ||
SM64DS Minigame |
| Posted by: Guinea Jun 9 2008, 01:21 PM | ||
Thanks =) I hope I can actually finish it! |
| Posted by: phazonluigi Jun 9 2008, 01:46 PM |
| Knowing you I bet you will. |
| Posted by: Strong Jun 9 2008, 03:24 PM |
| Here's the result of about a half hour of work. Walk around with the arrow keys, jump with shift, and enter the shell with the down key. Once you're in the shell, press up to get out of it again. You need the shell to get through the barrier. The graphics will eventually get prettier and stuff like paratroopas and other colors will be added. This is just an engine test. |
| Posted by: Morrad Jun 9 2008, 03:55 PM |
 Stupid toad! Oh and cool game strong414bad |
| Posted by: Thingy Jun 9 2008, 03:57 PM |
| I've almost done the engine, it'll be a while before you see it though, I'm making this post from my DS and will not get back on the PC until tommorow (UK time). Note: Is a bit glitchy on the collisions at times and I still need to get the enemies moving... |
| Posted by: Hohoo Jun 9 2008, 03:59 PM | ||
Looks good, but that mushroom at the bottom doesn't match the style. |
| Posted by: phazonluigi Jun 9 2008, 04:02 PM | ||
Your doing the in- out shell thing too? |
| Posted by: Strong Jun 9 2008, 04:07 PM | ||
What, you mean hiding in your shell to pass by stuff? Yeah, I am doing that. I might even have dry bones shells and stuff like that. |
| Posted by: Hohoo Jun 9 2008, 04:10 PM |
| AARGH! My coding is just too messy! I wonder if I get anything done... |
| Posted by: Miaxis Jun 9 2008, 04:10 PM | ||
Itīs just an early engine test, so the graphics will be changed in the final release. Iīd release a demo, but there are still some MASSIVE glitches.(like shells getting stuck in eachother and youīll get infinite points) |
| Posted by: Elyk Jun 9 2008, 04:32 PM |
| use something other than the move_bounce code |
| Posted by: Ultramario Jun 9 2008, 05:00 PM |
| @ strong414bad: Yours plays well. there's only glitch, though. If you try to get out of the shell and hold left/right, you'll teleport and are able to pass through that red wall. EDIT: Another glitch. If you enter the shell while being pushed by the red wall, you're unable to move. |
| Posted by: Black Boo Jun 9 2008, 08:24 PM |
| Getting somewhere with mine... |
| Posted by: Black Boo Jun 9 2008, 08:29 PM | ||
YAY! Shell Slide! I kick ass at that game! ...crap, double post. |
| Posted by: Soiyeruda Jun 9 2008, 09:16 PM | ||
That better be sarcasm...... It's just an EXACT copy of my idea :P |
| Posted by: phazonluigi Jun 9 2008, 09:18 PM |
| Nooo Thats MY Idea what I know it is a good idea very original If you ask me but originality comes only in one not 2 so I'm sorry but I have to repulse the accusation. |
| Posted by: Ice_Hedgehog22 Jun 9 2008, 10:26 PM |
 |
| Posted by: Wolfgator Jun 9 2008, 10:27 PM |
| Oh **** that looks great! |
| Posted by: phazonluigi Jun 9 2008, 10:30 PM | ||
wow with that, there is no point in even trying now. |
| Posted by: Morrad Jun 9 2008, 11:17 PM | ||
graphics=/=gameplay |
| Posted by: phazonluigi Jun 10 2008, 12:14 AM | ||
Oh yeah huh? Ok with THAT There is still hope! |
| Posted by: Wolfgator Jun 10 2008, 12:34 AM |
| I wouldn't be so sure... |
| Posted by: Thingy Jun 10 2008, 01:37 AM | ||
Erm... If that plays as good as it looks, then you will win, no doubt. |
| Posted by: Ice_Hedgehog22 Jun 10 2008, 05:29 AM |
   It's almost done. |
| Posted by: Miaxis Jun 10 2008, 05:31 AM |
| Hold me.......that looks awesome. |
| Posted by: Ultramario Jun 10 2008, 07:09 AM | ||
You are not allowed to say that. |
| Posted by: phazonluigi Jun 10 2008, 11:11 AM | ||
We are F*****. Can we say that? |
| Posted by: Guinea Jun 10 2008, 11:19 AM | ||
No. Because I'm also entering in case you missed that. It's not allowed to post discouraging in competitions, you could say that YOU couldn't beat the entry of which you've only seen a screenshot, but stuff like "YOU'LL WIN FOR SURE!" is a bannable or at least warnable offense iirc. |
| Posted by: Ice_Hedgehog22 Jun 10 2008, 11:23 AM |
 Alrighty, it's pretty much finished, although I am sure I'll add much more later. I don't think I need to explain really anything in this post, since I tried to make it easy for people to start playing. There's instructions before you start, you can change your controls as well. Just try to survive and score as high as possible. Hopefully the online highscore list is working properly, as it seemed to when I was working with it. |
| Posted by: kremling Jun 10 2008, 11:30 AM | ||
Trying now... |
| Posted by: Drezus Jun 10 2008, 11:30 AM |
| I was going to try entering. Just before Delmore's post. |
| Posted by: Bigbowsa Jun 10 2008, 11:43 AM | ||
You entry's pretty addicting Delmore. |
| Posted by: phazonluigi Jun 10 2008, 11:48 AM | ||
Yeah Sorry, I went a little overboard but with you in the competition- Good luck to everyone. |
| Posted by: Drezus Jun 10 2008, 11:51 AM |
You know MFGG needs some MMF2 Mooclick/Online tutorials since Mechabowser left, right, Delmore?  |
| Posted by: Boomb Jun 10 2008, 11:59 AM |
| Grr i beat the record, but when i submitted the whole screen goes #RECORD. |
| Posted by: Ice_Hedgehog22 Jun 10 2008, 12:02 PM | ||
Whole screen? |
| Posted by: Boomb Jun 10 2008, 12:04 PM |
| No sorry, just the places for names/scores. But it worked this time, and if anyone wonders the 117035 is me. |
| Posted by: Ultramario Jun 10 2008, 12:12 PM |
| Your entry is excellent Delmore. Only if it didn't lock the controls after the first play. I almost got 300000. |
| Posted by: Ice_Hedgehog22 Jun 10 2008, 12:18 PM |
| Lock the controls? |
| Posted by: Miaxis Jun 10 2008, 12:21 PM |
| Delmore, that was awesome! I still have to get better at it, though. Only got the 6th place. |
| Posted by: Ultramario Jun 10 2008, 12:32 PM | ||
Whenever I play again, I can't do anything. I can't even set the controls. I can however navigate through the menu. When I quit and re-run the game, then the controls work. It might just be me though. |
| Posted by: Ice_Hedgehog22 Jun 10 2008, 12:33 PM | ||
Possibly. I haven't had any problems. |
| Posted by: Boomb Jun 10 2008, 12:38 PM |
| That happens to me to. |
| Posted by: Ice_Hedgehog22 Jun 10 2008, 12:39 PM |
| Just fixed what possibly could've done it. |
| Posted by: Miaxis Jun 10 2008, 12:41 PM |
| First place yay! Someone beat me! |
| Posted by: Boomb Jun 10 2008, 12:51 PM | ||
No it still doesn't work. |
| Posted by: phazonluigi Jun 10 2008, 12:52 PM |
| Very Great Game Delmore Kudos! I say you make this a fullgame and you should definetely add a Co-Op feature for online play or two people simultaneously on a computer. The game is very addicting very well nice job! This was done in MMF right? |
| Posted by: Ice_Hedgehog22 Jun 10 2008, 12:54 PM | ||
Yessum, MMF2. And Boomb, get it again, it didn't upload the right one so I had to edit it again. |
| Posted by: Ultramario Jun 10 2008, 01:02 PM | ||
I did. Also, the controls work for me now. |
| Posted by: Miaxis Jun 10 2008, 01:13 PM |
| Arg. btw, Delmore got 57000. |
| Posted by: Pucifur Jun 10 2008, 01:24 PM |
| Delmore, nice game! It's one of few that's going to be saved to my computer. I'm going to ditch my current game and think of something else. It just wasn't fun enough to hold even my interest. |
| Posted by: Miaxis Jun 10 2008, 01:45 PM |
| Arg....Iīll have to cancel Shell Smash, I canīt fix the shells-get-stuck-in-eachother-and-get-infinite-points glitch. Ah, Iīll think of something else. |
| Posted by: Elyk Jun 10 2008, 01:48 PM | ||
What are you using for bouncing? |
| Posted by: Miaxis Jun 10 2008, 01:58 PM | ||
Bounce against all objects. Itīs just hard to calculate the right bouncing, since the shells should move relying on the angle they got hit at. Hmm...maybe I should try simulating moving away from an object at the collision event.(like this code) move_towards_point(other.x,other.y,other.speed/2) direction+=180 Only thing, then the shells would just move away from eachother, it wouldnīt be a real angeled bouncing. |
| Posted by: Morrad Jun 10 2008, 03:09 PM |
| Nice game Delmore, the only thing is the title. It's called Super Hammer Bros. when there's only one Hammer Bro. |
| Posted by: phazonluigi Jun 10 2008, 03:11 PM |
| Thats Why I said to go for the Co-Op. |
| Posted by: Miaxis Jun 10 2008, 03:20 PM |
Online multiplayer would be awesome. Oh, and a online tutorial.  btw GOTCHA ULTRAMARIO! |
| Posted by: phazonluigi Jun 10 2008, 03:42 PM |
| I say He can make this a full game with that you know adventure mode multiplayer battle. He can expand alot from that game. |
| Posted by: Miaxis Jun 10 2008, 03:44 PM |
| I agree, that would be awesome. However, itīs his choice. btw WFT?!?DELMORE GOT +700000! |
| Posted by: phazonluigi Jun 10 2008, 03:45 PM |
| HAKK! |
| Posted by: Hausuke Jun 10 2008, 03:50 PM | ||
Damn that's an awesome game. |
| Posted by: phazonluigi Jun 10 2008, 03:51 PM | ||
Hours later.... |
| Posted by: Hausuke Jun 10 2008, 03:53 PM | ||
That's how good it was :P, that and I went to install MSOffice. |
| Posted by: phazonluigi Jun 10 2008, 03:59 PM |
| Yeah it's beasty. EDIT: I CAN'T EXIT FULLSCREEN GAME! |
| Posted by: Keyser Soze Jun 10 2008, 06:38 PM |
| Hmm... why don't we just change the title of this topic to "Super Hammer Bros." cause thats been the entire fucking last 2 pages... Seriously, nobody is going to join because I already know that like 99% of people in this topic are going to vote for that game, then we'll have another situation like last month... |
| Posted by: Soiyeruda Jun 10 2008, 06:44 PM |
| You may as well try anyways. And to my knowledge, this is ONLY the first game that was posted. More will arrive, so don't go pointing fingers quite yet. I'll most likely be one of the final entries, because I work at a slower pace that ensure everything runs properly (and procrastination....) |
| Posted by: Black Boo Jun 10 2008, 06:56 PM |
| Grrr... I don't like you delmore...! Who am I kidding? It's fun! But mine's better. http://archive.mfgg.net/index.php?showtopic=212745&st=0&#entry2945046 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Click this for an addicting game C+C in that thread please. |
| Posted by: Strong Jun 10 2008, 06:59 PM | ||
It was the second- I posted a demo of mine first. By the way, here it is again in case you missed it. Good job on yours, Delmore. May the best game win. |
| Posted by: Black Boo Jun 10 2008, 09:36 PM |
| Fixed a crapload of bugs. See above post. |
| Posted by: Miaxis Jun 11 2008, 12:15 AM |
| Okay, Shell Smash is canned. Iīll come up with something else. |
| Posted by: Keyser Soze Jun 11 2008, 09:52 AM |
| Yeah my Koopa rts is kind of failing, once I got the engine running, and had like 20 koopas running around, it really didn't look quite as menacing as I had hoped it would... Maybe I'll turn it into a community sim, where you have to like build homes and defend your village and whatnot. Hmm... now what would a koopa house look like? |
| Posted by: Soiyeruda Jun 11 2008, 11:14 AM |
| Like a shell with a roof on it? Paper Mario :P |
| Posted by: phazonluigi Jun 11 2008, 11:21 AM |
| A big shell with a door where the hole to the neck leads. |
| Posted by: Ice_Hedgehog22 Jun 11 2008, 11:25 AM | ||
It's called Alt+F4, jeez. |
| Posted by: Miaxis Jun 11 2008, 11:31 AM |
| Hey Delmore! Have fun at the second place!:P |
| Posted by: Ice_Hedgehog22 Jun 11 2008, 11:34 AM | ||
It feels rude of me to even try since I already know how scoring works, haha. |
| Posted by: Miaxis Jun 11 2008, 11:42 AM |
| Actually you could make a fake application that connects to the same, er......server or whatever that online scoreboard thing is called so you could get 9999999 points or something. IF YOU DO I WILL GET YOU!!!111 Oh btw, guess why I hate the fullscreen one. I just had nothing to do, MFGG wasnīt active at all, so I just decided to play your game. Since there was nothing going on at MFGG, I turned my internet connection off and started playing. GUESS WHAT SCORE I GOT? SOMETHING ABOUT 830000! Only thing is, the internet connection was off, I tried to open IE but the DAMN fullscreen resolution prevented me from clicking connect. |
| Posted by: Ice_Hedgehog22 Jun 11 2008, 11:45 AM | ||
9999999 wouldn't be that hard to beat, and is obviously fake since you can't have an odd number as a score. |
| Posted by: Miaxis Jun 11 2008, 11:51 AM |
| Thatīd be nine millions. My highscore is something around 730000, one zero less. And thatīs very much of a difference! |
| Posted by: Ice_Hedgehog22 Jun 11 2008, 11:54 AM | ||
The longer you keep going, the more your score gets multiplied. Also if you didn't notice, enemies begin to spawn faster, do more damage, and some even act differently. |
| Posted by: Miaxis Jun 11 2008, 12:08 PM |
| Oh, didnīt know the multiplication thing. I actually noticed that somewhen two Lakitus appear at once, and Goombas just randomly change their directions. |
| Posted by: Elyk Jun 11 2008, 12:41 PM |
| I don't really know where I'm going with this. http://img76.imageshack.us/img76/3718/40844869tj6.png ...actually I'll just post what I have done instead http://h1.ripway.com/Elyk19/magikoopa.exe I was going to use the mouse but then decided not to so the controls are still WASD, and there are only 3 views so I can play with the movement of all the characters at once edit2: okay...now it uses the mouse and one view |

| Crap. I can't keep procrastinating........I can't believe I got rehooked on MFGG ;_; I only got 2/25 levels done in 2 days xD At least I work on other necessary features. |

That's better than me. I've been spending all my free-time on this, and my engine isn't even done yet! |
| Posted by: Soiyeruda Jun 11 2008, 10:12 PM |
| My engine is sorta kinda complete. And I think there's about a 5% chance I copied a previously engine of mine onto my game, but I looked both over, and they were fairly different so I think I'm safe. Your entry is legitimate if you look over a pre-made engine as a guildline, right? Like you check it over to make sure how something works / refreshen your memory? |
| Posted by: MegaTailzChao Jun 12 2008, 12:02 AM | ||
Well as long as it's not the exact same I see no reason to decline it! |

| Huh? Er, Hello.....was that made with HEIII? Cause if it was, youīre not allowed to use engines made before the competition started. |

| My engine is coming along nicely ^^ It was a while since I last made a game... |

| What is it? A koopa trying to run over a fuzzy? |
| Posted by: Soiyeruda Jun 12 2008, 12:21 PM |
| It appears to be a shooting game of sorts (notice the gray ball in the air?) |
| Posted by: Black Boo Jun 12 2008, 12:23 PM |
| Ah. Sounds like fun. |
| Posted by: Morrad Jun 12 2008, 02:46 PM | ||
That's actually pretty fun! |

I seriously think it could go somewhere. Sure, it's not much of a game now but the sense of speed is very fun. |
| Posted by: Fender Jun 12 2008, 08:22 PM | ||
the fuzzy obviously stole the koopa's cake, therefore the koopa borrowed robotnik's robowalker to go and get it back. anyways im working on mine, ill have screenshots up in a bit. |
| Posted by: Soiyeruda Jun 12 2008, 10:08 PM |
| Eeewww! That's Kooper :p |
| Posted by: Black Boo Jun 12 2008, 10:17 PM | ||
I'm sorry, but I just can't stop laughing. |
| Posted by: Sploder Jun 13 2008, 01:13 AM | ||
Why? What's wrong with Kooper? |
| Posted by: Thingy Jun 13 2008, 01:32 AM | ||
Thanks then, I'll try fixing the enemies and making levels. |
| Posted by: True Mario Jun 13 2008, 11:50 AM |
| I have a plan. It involves Koopa Joat, and the abilities he gains over time to traverse puzzling levels. And - you guessed it- his abilities all correspond to enemies of Mario in the Koopa Troop. I am thinking a few based on Lakitu, the Hammer Brother, and Koopa Paratroopa. P.S. Joat is an acronym for Jack-of-all-trades. |

| Posted by: Soiyeruda Jun 13 2008, 08:56 PM | ||
Nothing! Koops would've made sense too if Koopie Koo lost HER cake :P Eeeeww has a double meaning in my vocab. It can mean I dislike something, or I found something out. |
| Posted by: Thingy Jun 14 2008, 06:24 AM | ||
But that's spelt ooooh... Fixing mine up though, got enemies moving now! |
| Posted by: Soiyeruda Jun 14 2008, 09:59 AM | ||
I'm fully aware of that, but "Eeeeewww" sounds better to me. If you noticed, it said "My Vocab" meaning I will replace normal words with strange words. Eg. If I were to say Yummy, I'd instead say Nummy :P There is such a thing as "Diversity" you know. |
| Posted by: Thingy Jun 15 2008, 03:14 AM |
| riiiight... I'm making other levels btw, made taptaps as well. |

| I am rooting for Sploder here! |
| Posted by: MrGuy Jun 27 2008, 03:20 PM |
| Pucifer made an entry? The one in Chronii's screenshot is Sploder's entry. Also, I need to stop procrastinating =P. I'm working on a Magikoopa FPS. Originally it was going to be about a Koopa who gets forced to make lotsa spaghetti for Mario and Luigi, but...yeah, that was scrapped. |
| Posted by: Zero Chronii Jun 27 2008, 03:25 PM | ||
Oops, my mistake |

You're Doing Magikoopas Too? If you plan on doing a FPS in 6 Days, I wish you luck. |

| Update on mine. Added the first boss |
| Posted by: Ultramario Jun 28 2008, 10:01 AM |
| I can bump the deadline with two weeks (19th July), if someone wants. On a note: I might drop out too, since my game just feels too stale and can't come up with better ideas. |
| Posted by: Mr.Cintrak Jun 28 2008, 11:24 AM | ||
I'm up for a 1week bump but two? that will be a drag for those who want to compete in the next no? |
| Posted by: Mr. M Jun 28 2008, 02:21 PM |
| I don't think mine would need a two week bump but possibly one. |
| Posted by: MegaTailzChao Jun 28 2008, 02:26 PM |
| Yeah a single week would do, and would be nice please. |
| Posted by: Ultramario Jun 28 2008, 02:43 PM |
| Alright, deadline is now July 12. |
| Posted by: MegaTailzChao Jun 28 2008, 02:58 PM |

| Posted by: Shyguy Fan Jul 6 2008, 10:34 AM |
| I'm Entering, maybe I will have it done by later tonight EDIT-  sorry it ended up as a big mess it was going to be called Koopas coin chase. |
| Posted by: Soiyeruda Jul 6 2008, 08:46 PM |
| After like 3 idea swaps, I finally completed mine. It's called Lakitu Survival though the folder says "Lakitu Travel". We live in a world where we'll eventually run out of Mario names. (MARIO TEA PARTY! :P) http://www.mediafire.com/?mykefmdbxym Basically, survive as long as possible while killing enemies. Make sure to avoid hitting Mario, Luigi, or Peach. Read instructions for further help.* The instruction about the sky and ground may not be clear enough. Basically, when ou are on the ground portion, just move up until you appear off the screen. The screen will fade to black, and you'll be in the sky portion. In the sky, just go down, and you'll find the same thing happen, only you'll be on the ground. |
| Posted by: kremling Jul 6 2008, 09:57 PM |
| You should change you game to an exe... And you used my character! :P |
| Posted by: Ultramario Jul 7 2008, 10:26 AM |
| @Soiyeruda: - Lakitu's throws are very delayed and it's hard to hit anything unless you spam the fire button. Mouse aim + charge up for faster throws would work miles better. - Start is needlessly slow and boring. - Sky and land portions are kinda pointless to me and hinders gameplay slightly as well. You can't see whenever you're going to hit the Mario bros when you're in the sky portion and get hit by random spiny eggs you can't see until it's too late in the land portion. - Why the hell can't you move diagonally when moving downward, while you can when going upward? - Going to sky portion, getting certain powerup and spamming the fire button breaks the game. |

| Posted by: Ice_Hedgehog22 Jul 7 2008, 11:33 AM |
| Oh right, sorry this took so long guys. Fixed a ton of glitches, there should be nothing left that pausing can mess up, wiped the high scores, but also added a few new things here and there. For the full screen version, http://archive.mfgg.net/index.php?showtopic=212408&view=findpost&p=2944166 |

| looking good delmore! |
| Posted by: Soiyeruda Jul 8 2008, 12:24 AM | ||
Not much to expect, considering this was my first Minigame Comp. I've taken most of those into consideration however. - The Diagnoal down should work. It works for me. The final comment though wasn't clear. Which powerups? In the sky, you can get 6 different spinies. Blue, Green, Purple, Yellow, Red and Orange. By break, do you mean the game pops up an error screen, the game blacks out, then exits, or the spinies disappear? If it's spinie's disappearing, then that's normal. I'll get a new version uploaded tomorrow, maybe. |
| Posted by: Ultramario Jul 8 2008, 06:37 AM | ||
Blue and purple (One allows for rabid throwing and other makes your spinyeggs home). |
| Posted by: Ultramario Jul 8 2008, 10:24 AM |
| http://www.sendspace.com/file/viubww EDIT: I also will go to Turkey right at the day this comp ends, so someone shall run the voting then. |

| Wow, its looking good. |
| Posted by: Mr.Cintrak Jul 8 2008, 08:50 PM |
| I Lost Motivation Damn Scores are pissing me off Im gonna sidetrack fromt his for awhile and release the game I have in mind another day. Nice Job Admiral |
| Posted by: Soiyeruda Jul 8 2008, 08:53 PM |
| @Ultramario: Thanks for the input. @Everyone: I've fixed most of the problems and editted a bunch of things. - Shooting spinies is now mouse-based. You aim the mouse, and then left click. The spiney will move in that direction. Holding the click down will increase the speed of the spiney. A fully charged throw will cause more damage. This makes it easier to hit things. For the powers ups, the speed and damage will change as well. for Rapid Fire Power Up, hold left click down (Though the damage remains at 1). - Enemies will appear at a faster rate. - The Spiny Eggs from the Bad Lakitus fall at a slower rate, but the longer you play, the faster they fall. This should make them easier to see. - In the Sky Portion, whenever Mario and Luigi are on the screen at the bottom, a green/red arrow will appear to indicate Mario/Luigi's location. - Coins appear more often. - Sound effects added. New version will have to come later. Curse my stupidity. |
| Posted by: Ice_Hedgehog22 Jul 8 2008, 08:56 PM |
| How about you make it an executable?! |
| Posted by: Soiyeruda Jul 8 2008, 09:54 PM | ||
Oops. Working a bit too fast. Lol. I'll have to get on the internet later though. Limited internet access as of now. |
| Posted by: Mr. M Jul 9 2008, 01:02 AM |
| Shit I think I'm backing out. I've procrastinated through nearly the whole week extension. I guess I'll finish this on my own time |

| EDIT: Nevermind UltraMario, I beat it. |
| Posted by: Soiyeruda Jul 10 2008, 11:49 PM |
| Okay, final update, hopefully. I just realized you couldn't even reach the high-score screen http://www.mediafire.com/?w2tlmfdnnx5 Updates include: - Firework spiney will shoot an amount of spinies based on how full your charge meter is. - As the game goes on, your fuel will deplete faster. - Spiny eggs that turn into spinies have been taken out. They caused too many problems and weren't that useful. - Some glitches fixed. |
| Posted by: Mr. M Jul 11 2008, 08:01 PM |
| Alright, I'm still in this, my entry will just have to be my incomplete game, like what happened in the last mgc I was in. But I'm still going to finish this game sometime |
| Posted by: Ice_Hedgehog22 Jul 11 2008, 08:18 PM |
| Soiyeruda... you're game seems vaguely familiar! Also I uh, think it's kinda hard to even get hurt, since most stuff is on the ground. |
| Posted by: Bigbowsa Jul 11 2008, 11:16 PM |

| Posted by: Soiyeruda Jul 12 2008, 01:14 AM | ||
If you mean it's like a vague copy of your idea, you could be sort of correct. I used other features, though, so it's not necessarily a copy. Mouse based firing, 2 different screens, power-ups, 2 different bars to worry about etc. But trust me, I wasn't trying to copy your idea. I just couldn't think of anything else involving a Lakitu. There was my dumb Lakitu Baby game, but the focus seemed to be more on the babies. Yeah, it gets hard to receive damage. The only real way to hurt yourself is if Mario/Luigi/Peach touch you, or the bad spiny eggs hit you (they move fast later). Everytime I play however, I only get around 4 million points. |
| Posted by: Ultramario Jul 12 2008, 03:23 AM | ||
Not to mention that there's only less than a day left. |
