Super MFGG:, Secret of the Seven Shines

People please! Why can't he be one of the main characters in his game?

The sprite of your character in the screen feels kinda out of place. You should replace it with SMW styled Mario edit (I'm not saying, that you have to).

Your character is Mario and Luigi-ish. The background and level is SMW ish/ Change either your character or the back ground...

XD I mixed graphics all the time and they looked terrible. ... And I still do; I try, however, to make them look good together rather than sloppy.

SMW and Yoshi's Island may be in the same series, but they look terrible together. If you were to take a custom tileset, however, and make ALL the enemies Yoshi's Island sprites, then it would at least look better. I know what it's like, though, being hooked on mixed graphics. It's hard for me to not mix them at all.

The game looks like it could be good; I'll take your word for it that you have made a working engine, so if that's true, and the engine is good, then you've got potential. A tough thing with MFGG games, however, is keeping yourself from canning them. Good luck with that.

Advice: SMW and SMAS-SMB3 sprites don't miss-match too badly.

Looks cool

Thanks, Ultramario

Because no one knows who he is. This a an MFGG based game, so it should have well known members in it. Giga whatever his name is isn't well known. If I didn't know any better, I'd just guess that was Mario in some sort of alternate clothing.

He can still be a main character, since well, he is the one making it, but I think it'd make more sense if he was a minor character or something. Hell, if he was a Yoshi clone, I'd play the game just for that: to ride an alternate Mario with Jeff!

But again, It's his game. Let him make himself one of the main characters, if he wants.

Also, what characters are playable doesn't matter much anyway.

Which MFGGers do you plan on adding?

Let him? Well duh! It's not like I can stop him.

don't use SMW graphix, they suck.

We've established this fact, thank you.

hmm...i'm also making an mfgg game.......supiscious

What? SMW graphics rule.


Also, I agree with Ultramario entirely about the putting-in-one's-own-character thing. It's not fair to the creator for people to complain that his character is the main one and not in an obscure or non-existent role in the game, as he's the one doing the work for the game and deserves to be able to promote his character for that reason.

Thank you, Grant.

And so are many other people. There's nothing suspicious at all. It's a thing everyone does/did.

I totally agree. Also, it's the game that matters. How do graphics detract from fun, anyway? However, try to make the game seem original. (Find unique sprites and such that haven't been used before, or rarely, but mesh with SMW well) I actually think sprite meshing isn't that bad unless:
-Incredibly different styles
-Different bit level (NSMB will never mix with Atari graphics, for example)
-Shading is very different

Looks pretty cool, Giga M64! Please, continue.

You should make the worlds names of the different forums like the 'Pointless Post Palace' and the 'General Chat Land'.

My first game had the grafic all over the place, but it had a reason. 2 worlds crashed.
