Minigame competition #49, castle time

Entering, if I can get it finished in time

me and General are working on an entry

better watch out

can the titlescreen be outside the castle

Ah, sure.

So long as nothing's really going on with the titlescreen.

Starring anyone. That means it doesn't have to be mario related at all, right?

i would assume not

our game only has very vague references

I would assume that you guys would realise that I was only referring to charactesr within the mario universe. Seeing as a) I only gave examples of Mario characters and b) Every competition here is Mario themed, and almost none of them actually say (unless they say that Wario, for example, must be in the game) that it must be mario themed everyone just assumes, and knows that.
So sorry Dr, but you'll have to change yours.

oh well.

I might enter once we have a non-mario themed one.

brix, will, be, shat

:O

Looks pretty damn awesome.

well while we're at showing the castles I figured I could as well

Yet another Mechasource.

Have to check this out.

not ms!

asdsafsdfsadf HOLY MOTHER OF MUSHROOMS

That looks godly. I also enjoy the series mixup there.

MECHAAAA

Get a spriter. Anybody.
I see that castle in EVERY game I swear...
You use good sprites, ok, but they don't fit. Worse than MKF. D:
The gameplay will, of course, be awesome and stuff, but you'll never get far with these graphics.
Just pointin' out. Remember what they've said on TSR to Luigis game? D:

Luigi's Game had a limited selection of sprites

cba to get a spriter

Mario TNT is taken!

Yeah, but you didn't tell them. (the rules of said comp)

Now there are no limits.
Try (atleast) to recolor something.
To make it fit better.

Example: You castle background is very grey red and the castle tiles are very grey blue. (low sat, but there's sat)
These won't fit and look horrible.
Open both with photoshop and adjust the hue to make them the same, or
decrease the sat to 0 on both.
Another problem would be the shading style.
NSMB ultra-3d tiles plus SNES castle background, cartoony, dithered = won't fit.
Try to make everything fit, or this won't be a game, just a fluently animated game idea that looks a bit like an actual game, plus cool effects.

Forget it, some people (who don't care about graphics) will always vote for you.

Well, it is a minigame compo, not a graphics compo...

Even if this would be a cooking comp...

GRAPHICS ARE IMPORTANT.

Ok this doesn't make that much sense now, but I just wanted to point out how lame sprite clashing is and how easy it would be to prevent it.
