[CFP Meeting], Next: Sunday, October 18

Guinea would've posted something telling us if it was open.

True, I had just noticed the sub title "Next: March 7, 2009" and assumed he thought that would have been enough.

Oh well, next time then.

Oh damn! I totally forgot about it. Why did none of you guys IM me? =(

You're never on AIM.


Should we reschedule for tonight, then pick up again next Saturday as usual?

Let's do it like this:
I'll open the chat in the evening and we see who comes.
I might not be there to talk myself, but I'll be definitely here to check what's going on from time to time.

So we'll do the chat today, on Sunday the 8th.

Hello? Anyone? I'm on.

Dang; it must have ended by now, right?

I was waiting their for about 2 hours.

OH DAMN!

I forgot sunday too
Curses!


Really, if you ever see me online on MSN on such days, keep reminding me that it is and I'll open AIM too and then you can remind me on AIM too.
I appologize, that was really careless of me.

It's okay, we all forget things sometimes.

I should know.

Saturday March 15th eh?


It'll be a while till the next one then I guess.

Sorry, wrong date. It's today. In case of doubt: always the week day counts, not the date. ^-^


So, we're open.
Come in!

Guinea and I are there, but nobody else is.

Not enough people seem to know about when these start and end.

I'm in.

Summary of Saturday, March 14, 2009:

Number of participants: 7
Time: approx. 3 hours
Goals: achieved


- We have decided to use AIM instead of the IRC.
This has proven to be a lot more efficient than the IRC. For those who do not have AIM, I will still have the IRC open when we have a meeting, and if needed will go to the IRC to talk. However, AIM is now the prefered platform of conversation.


- We have talked about the HUD. Shyguy Grey will arrange the elements we agreed on in different variations until the next time where we will decide.
So far we know that the HUD will be based on SGG's sketch in the Concept Art topic and that there will be different extra bars for certain situations (extreme heat, extreme coldness, etc.)


- Bosses:
We have agreed that the following three bosses from the Concept Art topic will be in the game: Plant Conductor, Piranhasite and Disguise Guy.
Further details on these bosses will be discussed later. For a general overview of them, you can always check the Concept Art topic.

Plant Conductor: Instead of getting eaten, it will be pinged into the air by the piranha.

Piranhasite: Comes as a miniboss where it controls Wario. To defeat you need to stun Wario (with fruits falling from trees?) and then attack the Piranhasite itself.
Piranhasite will appear a second time as a main boss, where it hijacks the body of a treasure guard.

Disguise Guy: Setup like a theatre play, with Shyguys cheering and changing the settings when this boss changes his masks. Each mask has a special ability.
1st form simply copies the player, 2nd form is a thwomp, third form mimics Bowser and the fourth form acts like a Boo. This form is invisible, and can only be seen if lightning strikes.
An idea is also to have each form be fought by one character and use the characters' special abilities to take out this boss.


Thank you for your participation!
Next week we will have the following topics:

- Deciding on the HUD arrangement
- Starting Location Design
- Other topics

in that order.
Good night!

Sucks I had to cut out in the middle and couldn't get back in.

Stupid headache....

Hey guys, we've started and we're on AIM again, so let me AIM me and I'll invite you to the group

We're open today, but most probably without me.

Bosses, HUD and locations are discussed today.

Tonight we covered:

*Lil' Mousers will be used in special rooms where they try to run off with a gold mushroom and you have to beat them to the exit.

*Toad Town will have a Theatre area that will include 3 levels referencing SMB, as well as the boss Playwrong, and Disguise guy. In these levels, Mario and friends agree to help the theatre stay in business so the owner will give them the treasure they need.

*Blockfake will be used.

*Their will be a credits parade.

*Spoilers:

Paracite Wario

Will be the 4th and final unlockable character.

*Boss Rush can be unlocked


I believe thats about all we went over, but I'm probably wrong. We covered a LOT.

I can't believe I missed it.
