Mario and Luigi: Daisy's Shadow [demo 1], demo release 1.

The beta demo is on the bottom

ANYWAY.

Story:

Time is the key to our story here. Ten-year-old Daisy dashed for cover as an evil boy approached her. His face was half-way masked, his black and red clothes glistened with evil. He grinned.

"You're going to die now, you little pest. I'm tired of you getting in my way."

He aimed a hand at Daisy. A ball of light charged within it. Everything seemed to be over for her when suddenly, a ten-year-old boy with a green cap and overalls tackled the villian to the ground.

"Go!" he yelled to Daisy.

"But Luigi,"

The evil boy knocked Luigi off him. "I don't got time for this. I got time-periods to destroy. And I'll start with your future." The evil boy vanished before their eyes.

Throughout the course of two days, Luigi and Daisy searched for a way to the future. That night of the second day, a star spirit appeared in Luigi's dreams. He told him about the 7 time stars and that the evil boy has broken the time barrier. That means he will be able to change and modify the future.

Luigi awakened immediately and told Daisy his dreams. The star spirit suddenly appeared right before their eyes.

"I can take one of you to the future. You must warn your older selves."

"Daisy, you must go," Luigi said. "I'll make sure the boy doesn't do any further damage here. My brother Mario is probably worried sick about me."

"'k." Daisy replied. From that point, the star takes ten-year-old Daisy in front of the Mario brother's house. This will soon began the adventure of a life time. Can the Mario brothers gather the time stars and save the universe. Who exactly is this boy anyway?
----------------


Gameplay

It uses rpg maker xp. But it's not an ordinary rpg maker xp game. It uses real-time battling instead of a turnbase or sidebattling thing-a-magbores. It will probably remind you of super smash brothers with a little platforming added into it to juicify it. You can attack and jump, etc. YEAH. you probably never heard of a RPG MAKER XP game like that. if you did, awesome. Link me.
----------------------------


I'll post more screenies later, but for now, it's this one:




Bosses have healthbars. You have health, you and Luigi fight TOGETHER. More playable characters later. Etc. Can you get to the final battle which is not Bowser and show the boss who's boss.





What to expect. A pretty long demo with some bosses. If you like super smash brothers then you'll like this.... well, the full release anyway.(I hope)

Mario and crew can use attacks and fight together; however, I am still gathering sprites, so Mario and crew has animations(to avoid boring) but not battle animations

Example: Mario punching. etc etc. http://forum.chaos-project.com/index.php?topic=2532.0 <--see how most battlers have attack sprites etc...


UPDATE 1. Fixed some problems with the Platformer of trials: http://www.sendspace.com/file/wr3z0i


RTP-STANDARD: http://www.sendspace.com/file/dvphgl



Also I wouldn't recommend playing this on a slower computer, although I fixed
most of the lag. I don't get any more lag on my laptop; however PLEASE notify me if you have any problems. BECAUSE I WILL NOT <-- IGNORE YOU. I'll get to work.


Switched from Microsoft video 1 setting on cam studio. I'll see if I can get a video later.

Ew. Double post!

Anyway: there will be better screenies later... just for
now, enjoy

Why couldn't they just wait for the future instead of going on a quest to get there?

I mean it's in their lifetime.

EDIT: If I read it right.

Nope, you read wrong XD.

The evil boy went to the future. They are chasing him. simple as that : )

Looks okay but is there more characters?

ALOT. In fact, you'll see when I submit the demo XD

Ehh...what does Bowser have to do with this?

You mean why he's in the story. You'll see. Trust me, I think the story I
wrote was good.

Also, a story wouldn't be good if Bowser wasn't in it XD.

Edit:

Bowser will eventually join forces with the Mario brothers and Link. (As always)

Edit #2: omg, this reminds me of Mand L partners in time. But this isn't a turn based and it doesn't have babies XD

cool, looks like an RPG, can't really wait for a download, so i can play.

thanks. It's an rpg, but instead of taking turns fighting (also known as turn-based)
you get to punch your enemies lights out! Hence the name Advanced battle system/ blizz-abs.

Hopefully I can get a new hud

What

XD Well, the villain attacked Hyrule. (When you meet him he'll mention it)
You'll encounter Link after you get the first time star. He was also looking for the stars and so he'll attack before Mario and Luigi get the chance to tell him that they are looking for the same exact thing.(for the same reason)

Don't take Link lightly. He can kill you pretty quick D:

No Ganondorf isn't in the game (Unless you provide a Ganondorf sprite in rpg maker xp format)

When's the demo?

Hopefully I can get the demo out soon. I can't make any actual dates.
I'm waiting for Bluegriffin23 (I requested some extra sprites)

Although I could release the demo now, I rather do some sprite changing and
adding. I'm limitted on sprites. Hopefully I can get people to donate
Mlss-style sprites in rpgmaker xp format. The more sprites, wierdly the quicker the demo release (mainly because I'm more motivated)

oh please no.


Different universe clashing is a very bad idea. It just seems like 'Hey, what other characters can I cram into my game?' It seems very unprofessional.

super smash brothers do it. Anyway. its taking place only in the mushroom kingdom.

Have you ever watched Super Mario bros Z? The show that n00bs worship? google it ^_^

SSB is different. All the characters are uniting to fight against each other. in theory, it really shouldn't work as well as in does.

Link just seems so out of place in the mushroom kingdom.

So you think I should provide Link's back story?
Link does explain to them why he's in the MK...

Oh god.... I don't have legend of zelda tiles (I don't really have mario and luigi tiles)
to create a cutscene of Link in Hyrule concerning the villian.

I don't even really need or want Zelda in the game (a cutscene that have Zelda sending link off)
oh god, it reminds me of that horrible trailor on youtube concerning the legend of zelda movie: D:

oh sorry, went off topic...


Anyway, the villian does mention earlier in the game before you meet Link that he attacked a place called hyrule. Something like this:
"I'm done attacking Hyrule enough. (I'm changing his lines to this:) Now its time I bring pain and suffering to this pathetic kingdom of yours)

So it's mentioned in advanced therefore Link wasn't popped into the game

I see where you're coming from, but my issues lie with the fact that mario and link live in totally different universes. SSB breaks boundaries, because they would normally never be aware of the fact that the other existed. And I'm not saying some ability to transport oneself between universes would solve this issue. This two characters are totally different from each other.




But this is not my game, so I will shut up now that I have voiced my opinion.

I think your opinion has value. However I'll try to make it look as natural as Possible
