Default [In Progress] Super _____ World


Inspired by a tip from umisguy to this website
This game will be like Super Mario World, but completely different, lol

Here is whats been decided:
-Landscape Mode is the only thing that is known as of right now

Please do not:
-Ask to be beta testers
-Constantly ask for a beta release, I will release when I think its necessary and ready

Because I am now working on this alone, and I have to create all the graphics myself, this is going to take a lot longer.


I will update the progress with screenshots when I start getting into it.
Here is the base of the game
Rar Zip

Progress Update:
+ YouTube Video
ERROR: If you can see this, then YouTube is down or you don't have Flash installed.


Moving the screen works better on the zune, I didnt bother editing that part of the code just to make it work in a video.
On the zune the whole screen is covered by the map, not just a part of it

Also, can I be a beta tester/when is the beta going to be released.
But in all seriousness, thanks for finally working on this project to the both of you!

Just a couple teaser images, this is a quick mockup I did of what the menu may look like in the future, and the Thumbnail/logo for the game.

won't it be kind of hard to play in landscape mode because then you can only use one hand, like shoot and jump at the same time would be hard....could you maybe put in the zoom feature and flip the screen like in the manic miner game?

I never played Super Mario the World version for SNES....I quit console gaming (too expensive) and began gaming with computer thanks to the copies from m friends. yeah, I was young and dumb.

Flipping it would mean all the sprites and backgrounds would have to be resized, and the code changed.

I'll say it once and leave you all alone, but just for reference this isn't legal at all. You may not get a cease & desist, but then you might. This is violating Nintendo's rights and really shouldn't be encouraged. I know how cool it would be to have and all, but it isn't really something you should be doing (I'm surprised an MSDN blog had this up to begin with). If I were you, I'd make some new sprites and just use that underlying code to make yourself a new game.

Rant over and I'll try to ignore this thread from now on.

[Edit: Just realized it was an MSDN site, but it was in the forums. That explains how it got posted there.]

nick i said the same thing. it's a lot easier to redesign the graphics than have to deal with legal issues.

There are no legal issues. If you try to sell this game, then you might have legal issues depending upon the current copyright status of Mario (which I don't know). Developing any game in an open source enviroment is perfectly legal. There are tons of flash based mario games and many others out there, including ones on google and myspace. I wouldn't change the graphics, but that is me.

Wrong. Doesn't matter whether the game is free or not, this is copyright infringement. Just because not all get shut down, doesn't mean it isn't against the law.
