I'm all in! Group: Members Posts: 393 Member No.: 1161 Joined: 12-June 05 Status: (0d)	For me, good levels, more than anything else. An engine without frequent glitches come close to second -------------------- A new beta is out, click on the banner for more infomations. An attempt to recreate mario bros 3's engine perfectly with some values taken directly from the rom and it is open source Give it a try, even if it's open source, the levels are original and fun.. I've started a new topic because the other one died of inactivity. Don't let this one die. Gameplay Video Here's the last video, with the original 1-1 level and three new levels

Interactivity.

It's rather obvious.

I second that one; that's what I'm trying to do in my fangame projects.

However, are you referring to like interactivity in the layout (like game instructions and such)?

No, I was more referring to the fact that you have to be able to play fangames. You should be able to control some aspect of it.

Y'know, sometimes some fancharacters can be good...

But anyway, I think volume controls are very important. That way I can actually play the game with sound without going deaf.

take a wiz in da bottle: saves toilet water bro Group: Members Posts: 2428 Member No.: 3658 Joined: 19-April 07 Status: (0d)	Every GOOD fangame should have an interesting aspect to it's playability, whether it be extreme speed, or a compelling story rivaling adult fiction, or just PORTALS. I like innovation, comrade. And the great games have tons of innovation, but can control to the point where it's not a huge garbled mess (Thingio excluded.)

fad was bad Group: Admins Posts: 2123 Member No.: 2856 Joined: 25-October 06 Status: (0d)	A sight to soothe sore eyes. Seriously, sometimes fangames (and even official games) have horrid colour combonations, like THIS RED for a background. (seriously, even in LoZ the bright green dungeons and bright blue ones look horrible.) -------------------- aa this broke Make your own \| If a level is breaking the rules, note the ID and PM me.

Some new enemies that look or behave differently from ones in official games, especially if they're new custom types of enemies (which fit in correctly with the Mario theme, of course).
