Mario Roots, Jr Koopa AI

WHOA JESUS CHRIST SLOW DOWN MARIO. You are not Sonic. >:[

Lol. kk I'll change speed to be a bit slower.

Nice game! One thing: I noticed that you can only do the Z jump the first time you bounce off. Is that a problem? I love the title screen music, though.

Yes it can only be used once, because I was afraid people might keep doing bonus jumps= easy score points, so I made it so you can only do it once.

Bumped cause all posts were deleted due to Forums Error. XD

Whoaa I need to change this thread badly.


Mmm I'm not planning on moving this to the W.I.P section until I get another update, which I have no clue when that may be.

but since this is bumped I might as well say what I accomplished yesterday and today, although it's really minor on your part, MAJOR success on my part.

I put into consideration "What if I was going to add more party members?"
Using the current party system, there was no way it was possible because of all the active objects and counters, but I struck gold and found a way to use only ONE STATIC ENGINE for all party members, and only 1 SET OF COUNTERS for all party members. This makes adding party members a hell of alot more easier, and reduces computer resource use since you don't have ALL the party members active objects scrolling the frame.

Right now I'm just fixing all the bugs in this "new" party system, and optimizing it.

I must say, Optimizing a game is the part that takes the longest.

Know what's even better? Before in the debugger the game ran at about 85 MB..That's like 80,000 KB of Mem Usage...

Guess what it is now?

34 MB. Probably won't get any smaller then that. I tested it out on several different computers and it runs at 60 FPS on all.

Basically, It's like running Internet Explorer 6 on your computer. Yes, 6.

so you might add more party members or you might make the party members have more moves : D

I may make equipable moves, but I have no idea how to add a bunch of moves without making them overpowered or complete hax.

I was thinking of some of mario's moves which are:

At level 5, Mario learns "Coin Buck".
It's mario's UP + B move in super smash bros. You can get 10 coins from coin bucking enemies. Cost 4 FP.

At level 10, Mario learns " Deflect"
Same as Mario's cape move in Super smash bros. You can flip enemies around in the other direction, and projectiles. Cost 1 FP.

Something sorta like that. This is still in consideration though.

As for weapons/armor/etc...No..sorry that would just be too many ini values to work with x-x.

And yea, I was thinking of having more party members. At MOST there will be only 5 though.

oh ok sweet and nice moves

Thanks. I decided everyone will get 5 moves, and they can be switched out.



Just for anyone who doesn't know, the stats are:

HP= Health Points. How much HP you have.
FP= Flower Points. How many times you can use a "skill" move.
DP= Defensive Points. How much defense you have.
AP= Attack points. How much attack power you have.

luckily, Headbutt costs 0 FP.

nice dude nice
I cant wait for this game =D

Bump~ Updated first post.

Basically, a gameplay 3 Video

Great video
I cant wait for the demo

Looks great and appears to play decently as well. Graphics class a bit, but they're not important.

Looking forward for playable version.

Okay, kirbyhi5 -- I must know -- when Lilly was singing, was that her "Love Poem" approach? Because it's definitely a good start for Lilly's special moves. ^_^

I found a glitch in a glitch XD
ok remember when I told you I can just use the second Spring to get to the other side faster well today I was using the spring again and I moved right and hit under the Grassy road bar thing. When i did that I can walk under it try it out and see if it works.

i saw that video on youtube and thought it was sonic. Why not mix the games, sonic and mario

I don't exactly find the sound effects to be pleasing. Chao sound effects? Crazy.

MUST PLAY

Really looking forward to this. Good to see something that has a little style of its own.
