Mario Spy - Redone YET FLIPPIN' AGAIN?!, Yeah. Reason? Click, man.

Mario Spy was going to be 3d in Darkbasic. Everything was going fine. Until I found out how slow Darkbasic makes the gameplay when you add collisions.

How much? Frames Per Second go from 60 to 5.

No matter what would happen, if I got the collision, it'd slow down majorly.

So, now I've decided to go back to MMF. But the problem is, the 2d game is still too buggy.

So, another change in gameplay. Same stealth, same storyline, but different gameplay.

I decided to change it into an RPG. A MUCH better RPG than Yoshi RPG Secret Legends (that's why I was asking for the un-protected version in the Help forum, so I could improve).


Also, since now it'll be an RPG, the storyline will fit much better, storylines go with RPG's well.



Sorry for those of you who have been waiting (not many of you, though, I assume).

And don't think this will get rid of the stealth. Stealth is still a big part.



Which brings me to my next thing: NAME! Mario Spy does NOT work well. Too cheesy/... I dunno, seems wrong.


I had an idea:
Mario: Stealth Appealed


But if you have any other suggestions, I'll be glad to take those into consideration.


Thanks for your time.

It sounds interesting.. is it going to have a top-down game view? as I'd think that would work better for a stealth game than side anyway... and as an rpg too.

RPG? Are you nuts? Sounds too weird. Just make it a platform damnit. >:O

Top down would make more sense for stealth, but it's more fun when it's isometric view.


There's too many bugs I have when I try to make platforming engines.

As long as it's more of a Deus Ex RPG and not a "Go into turnbased battle with dagger +2" kind of RPG.

You'll have to explain more, I've never played Deus Ex RPG.


Which brings me to my next topic: Anyone have any custom made 8 directional Mario sprites? If not, that's okay, I have an idea.

:P ...So Mario Spy started as a platform game, was then changed to a 3D game, and is now an RPG named Mario: Stealth Appealed.

Crazy.

Oh, and I gotta say, as far as titles go I liked Mario Spy better than Mario: Stealh Appealed, but eh.

3+ years of change, yes.

Make it something like Cave Story, only thing I could really imagine it being.



Only...you know....not fully 2D.

I guess what means my levels are out

I keep telling you, Mario Gamer, your levels are still in, just being re-done. So I still need your l33t level designing skills.


And Shadowman informed me of a good idea on gameplay, so that'll work.

Want something SUPA-CHEEZAY?

You should make it a tactical RPG...

What do you mean by tactical?

Involved deeply around strategy as opposed to blindly applying brute force.

Ah, yes. I have figured that part out already with Shadowman.

Spy being redone again? geeze. I'm still looking forward to it anyway. Tactital games are just great. Good luck!
