Kirby Versus Shy Guy Demo, *Up and Rolling*

Alright, like I promised, here's the update. Once again, please refer to the first post.

I will not update anymore just for the sake of fixing glitches. Any furter updates will actually contain more levels. So I won't be updating for another week or two. Thank you.

Pretty awesome demo so far. Can't wait for the full game.

I'd like it better if windowed mode were possible. If you can, please put that in the final version.

Also, put in safety beards please.

Wait, what? The game is automatically set to fullscreen. You have to play it in fullscreen. If you're computer runs it windowed, than you must have changed something on your computer. I set it so you HAVE to play in fullscreen. So it must be something to do with your computer.

Also, safety beards will be put in.

Sorry about that, typo. I meant windowed mode.

Well, okay I'll try. But the game tends to act a little weird in windowed mode, so I can't promise anything.

The zip file about this update is corrupted now.
I can not play this demo updated, because it is corrupted.

I reckon it acts weirder in full-screen mode. For those of us that have the 1 pixel seperation bug, it'd be better to include windowed.

I tried the game on my friend's computer, and the bug is present there. I tried putting it in windowed mode, and the bug is worse alongside numerous other glitches. But I'll TRY to fix it, though I definitely can't promise I can fix it.

Also, Alba Garcia Clerigues, I can download the file just fine, and so can everyone else, so the problem is probably your computer or something related.

I think you're using GM6, which is incompatible with Vista.

You can convert it to work with Vista though... There's a converter from Mark Overmars himself in the Misc section of MFGG.

Also...

BUG REPORT

Pushed against the right wall in the Yoshi Hills (I think that's what it's called) Item Shop and fell into a bottomless pit.

Will the bandit join you temporarily like in the comics?

Yeah, I'll convert it. I have the converter. The glitch happens anyway. It happens on all platforms but Windows XP. That includes Windows 95 and Windows 98. Try running it in Windows XP compatibility mode and you should be fine.

Also, I haven't gotten very far in the gae yet, so I don't know if BG will be playable, but he will be on Kirby's side, maybe as a cpu controlled character or something.

Well, some people have said it before, but I'll go ahead and say it again... and say some other things.

Yoshi and Kirby also need to gain experience and level up. A couple of badges would be nice, and a status screen too:

Kirby
Level 1
HP 10/10
FP 5/5 (Flower Points)
BP 3/3 (Badge Points)

ATK 2
DEF 0
LUK 0 (Lucky hits from MLSS, although it was called STACHE in that game)

Yoshi
Level 1
HP 10/10
FP 5/5
BP 3/3

ATK 2
DEF 0
LUK 0

Characters need their own strengths and weaknesses, i.e. Yoshi would have more DEF but less ATK than Kirby. Kirby should be able to swallow enemies and copy their powers, like in his series (with a price, such as no experience from that enemy). Kirby should also be capable of flight (for a limited time because he's carrying Yoshi around).

Here's some badges for you to start off with:

HP Plus

Max HP +5
-3 BP

FP Plus
Max FP +5
-3 BP

Poison Tongue (Yoshi)
Chance of poisoning the enemy with tongue-based attacks.
Poison damage: 1
-2 BP

Cutter Badge (Kirby)
Use the Cutter ability when equipped.
Note: You cannot change abilities while equipped!
-2 BP

Spike Shield
Protect your feet from spikes.
-4 BP

Attack FX M
Makes your character sound like Mario when he attacks.
0 BP

Here's just a few you could try out.

These are just suggestions. I don't want you to program two dozen abilities for Kirby if it's too much for you. (But a couple would be nice...)

Yeah, first things first though. I'm already putting in the experience system, and that, along with laziness, is what is taking me so long to get another demo up. I'm also working on FP, but not BP quite yet. That'll be an advanced feature that won't be done for a few months.

And Kirby does have a fire ability programmed, it's just not fancy yet. Plus, I have no where to add it until I'm done programming Abby and such.

Also, will this be open source? (or at least an engine available for download)

hi this is mfgg i am a yoshi

yoshi! yoshi! ^_^

Don't spam in the forums please...

Gee, I wonder if that friend was me.

Great work there, I like the carasouel options in battle.
Another "Fatal" glitch a spy guy ran past me in battle and nobody could move after that.

That'd be helpful with the Reminox battle.

"It has headspikes."

But that's a looooooooooooooong time away...about 200 some strips...

I like how this is coming! A recomendation on Moores music, it blasts my speakers at some points, and it doesn't really fit him.

I also honestly think that the Shy Guys should be able to be taken out in one shot.

This game is awesome, and I think that you should continue with it. I am also willing to give you a hand with sprites, music, whatever.

The music quality seems less than perfect...

Also...

BUG REPORT #2

For some reason, I only got in one fight with a spy guy in the woods. After that, the spy guy was still on the overworld, and I couldn't enter any battles, as Kirby just walked right past the Shy-Guys.

In addition, I tried returning to the woods after I got the wood and got stuck.
