A question on Paper Bowser World: Operation GROM, I may continue the project

I just want to know, since Toodles Team has left, would it be OK if I continued the project? I have been planning, and I have decided that I might be able to duplicate the engine, but it would be tough. If too many people are against this, I will stop, but I am just wondering. If you all agree I will start right away.

If there is anyone that is willing to help, just PM me, but if you know you are a beginner in gamemaker though, don't PM me. I am going to use GM 6.1, so I am very sorry for all vista users.

I will start a topic for the discussion of the game when I get a valid engine running, and BTW, don't get your hopes up, it may prove to difficult for me (Though I doubt it.).

Note:If this belongs in the help section, then you may move it.

I do not think this is a good idea.

Not only do we have no clue who you are, but it just won't be right unless Toodles does it.

I understand wholeheartedly, Toodles Team was a great game developer. I will probobly still wait for more posts before I come to a decision.

you should email toodles about this, he may give you the open source(which I doubt)
its his descission not the board's

Yeah, I may do that. Personally though, the engine didn't look that hard to duplicate, in fact it was rather simple. The only complex thing was the variable jumping. I thank all the people who post on this topic, it means a lot to me.
edit: I can't find his e-mail, so if someone knows it I would be very happy. And remember, if this would offend toodles team in any way, tell me.

Why don't you just make your own Bowser fangame with inspiration from Toodles's game? You could try and make it have the same sort of humor (without actually using the same jokes, of course) or similar gameplay, and that way you could add in things without worrying if they would "fit" in Paper Bowser World, or take out gameplay elements that you didn't like.

I mean, isn't that what people basically do with the official Mario games when they make a fangame?

Of course, if Toodles Team actually gives you permission to continue it, then go for it if you want to.

He removed his email adress. I tried to email him (about other things) but I couldn't find his adress anywhere.

No, its a bad idea.

You are right. I will do this instead, thanks for the idea! I will probobly not reply here anymore, so try not to post that much in here.

hey, I presented this idea in the PPP and everyone was against it, I doubt you'll have better luck

His email has been private all the time.

I think you should try doing a Paper Wart game that is motivated from Toodles Team. It would be a little more original. That is just my opinion.

No offense, but then the game wouldn't have any capitalization...

Well, I was also thinking of making one, but I decided to make something else instead...

It won't be the same unless toodles makes it.

Ya, but this could still be good.

I feel that it could actually be better if someone good made it...

Toodles WAS the best.

No one can continue PBW with the same charm all of Toodle's games have.

One of the things that was uniqe to PBW:OGROM was the fact it had fully custom sprites, including things like the X-Naut Koopa Troopas. They were also done in a smaller size rather then the usual higher res that was being done.

I know I said I wouldn't reply, but I just couldn't resist. I am GOING to work on a bowser game with someone else (of whome i am not telling.) But first I am going to finish a game that i had started way before i entered MFGG, please note that the bowser game is still in pen and paper, and yes it is going to be original, not a remake of PBW:OGROM (Unless the engine gets really good.)

Another important thing is that you don't know the story. It just wouldn't be right without the story Toodles had all written down.
