Fan Game Design Sins, What really annoys you?

It annoys me that people would want to press both at the same time.

Default GM dialog box.
Low-gravity (you jump too high and take forever to land again) OR lack of variable jumping.

That's all I could think for now.

Demon Lizardman

Primary - Punchl - I punch people.
Secondary - Bite - Starts biting rapidly!
Special - Fire ball - I spit fireballs in a three way direction fast.
Super - I use firebreath which shoots flames everywhere in the room.
Taunt - Fart - THHPPPPPT

Yellow Devil

Primary - Punchl - Punches slowly but are very powerful
Secondary -Slurp up- Ingulfs player with one arm and spits the player out of the other arm.
Special - Yellow cube - Shoots yellowish cube.
Super - The classic Yellow devil- Straight right out of the video games. Turns into a bunch of blobs and they all aim at you then they all charge at you.
Taunt - Turns into a puddle and rises back up.

Background should be a graveyard with the classic castlevania skeletons and zombies coming out of everywhere kicking both the players up. Also the music can be Dracula's castle from SOTN

If there is a problem please tell me.

Okay now this has nothing to do with the topic sir.

wrong topic.
It belongs here.

Jumping on goombas that kill you AND the goomba.

There's lots of stuff I agree with people on in this topic. I can't say I agree with the comment about SMW sprites being bad, however. I love SMW's graphics myself.

Anyway, I'm lazy, so I'll copy/paste what I said in an older topic about this (and edit it slightly):

big pits that u have to jump about 1 pixel from the edge to get over

to be fair, that isn't always an easy thing to put in

Anything you see in Paper Mario World.



I defy the rules of no specifics, but that's essentially the game that I assisted with, and the original creator is not here anymore, so I take part of the blame for the game existing.

Um, we're not supposed to be naming specific games here...

When people use Yoshi's Island sprites, I hate how sometimes Yoshi's idle "walking in place" animation is used when he's actually walking.

He said that he helped with it and that it's partly his fault, so he's kind of smacking himself.

BTW, really loud games annoy me! The speakers on all of my computers are extremely sensitive, and having the volume turned to even the lowest level is still too loud. Just reduce the volume and let people turn up their speakers if they want to.

Yeah

But once you figure it out you're like "GOD THAT WAS SO SIMPLE"

At least in Game Maker it is.

Actually, anyone is allowed to say Paper Mario World. It's such a popular concept in MFGG, that no one ever actually says "worst game," they say "this game is such a Paper Mario World."

I have a Fan Game Design Sin

Trying to get people to not use their designer of choice

Tis a sin that we've seen recently.

- Lack of variable jump (especially when the gravity is very low).
- Crappy level design (ten pipes in a row with no enemies nor other obstacles).
- Glitchy engine and get stuck anywhere (It's especially annoying when there's no restart button).
- Very loud midis.
- Ridiculously simple concept.

I wasn't referring to him. A couple people have brought up other games as examples in the past pages.

On-topic:

I hate when there are moving platforms that you actually have to walk to keep up with. You don't see it often, but I've seen it once or twice.

When it comes to Sonic fan games, it annoys me a bit when people use fake loops based on path movement, but I don't hate it because the real thing is hard to implement (haven't yet figured it out myself, to be honest), and the loops in recent official Sonic games (at least in Sonic Heroes) seem fake themselves. It's an annoyance but a forgivable one considering that and the fact that I don't even fully understand it.

Mario fangames that include the following:

Cursing
Toilet humor
excessive violence
blood and gore
clashing sprites
real world culture (with the exception of one game that I shall not name, but was terribly funny)

PEOPLE. Midi volume can be set in the windows control panel, althought its sometimes hidden. Check the properties, and reduce volume on either MIDI or SW SYNTH.
