Title: Super Mario Bros. Blitz
Post by: Moldrill on September 02, 2008, 01:58:09 am
Super Mario Bros. Blitz is a fan-game Soapy and I have decided to make. It's going to be a traditional side-scroller Mario game, with custom sprites. Story probably same as usual, Bowser kidnaps Princess Peach and Mario goes off to rescue her. It will all be one large side-scrolling world rather than level by level gameplay. Soapy and I will code it in BlitzMax, Uma and I will sprite. I still need a musician. If anyone would like to be a composer please speak up.

The severe amount of ill logic in that makes me sick. :/

While your songs are decent, they are simple and have almost no melody.

Fortunately they've got me :P.

Naw, I wouldn't want to waste your time on a fan-game unless you actually want to. I'd be happy to have you on the team though, it's your call for fan-games.

Whoops, I worded things a bit wrong there. I meant that it's an open world. You can backtrack and explore in all directions at all times. There are different screens, but not individual levels. Like Metroid or Cave Story.

Dude! That's a sweet idea! So, will you still have powerups? How will that work?

Edit: Oops, thanks Metakirby.

I think your words are stuck in the quote, Kylink. Might want to fix that...

Great idea!
Title: Re: Super Mario Bros. Dusk
Post by: Moldrill on September 02, 2008, 11:01:10 pm
Kylink, power-ups will still be in '?' Blocks around the world. The item inside replenishes itself if you wait long enough. In this game you don't have Big Mario to Little Mario to Game Over. You have only one Mario (big mario). In the start of the game you have 3 HP. By finding Mushroom Retainers scattered across the world you can increase your max HP by 1. Fire Flowers do the same thing as they always have. Also further in the game you will get a Hammer to kill Spiked Goombas and things without a Fire Flower.

Work begins tomorrow probably with placeholder sprites

Any ideas on name changes? I'm not really digging the current one. Also I made the story a little more interesting. :-*

Princess Peach has gone missing. The obvious suspect is Bowser again. Mario sets off immediately to Bowser's fortress. But just as he arrives and Bowser claims he's innocent, he too vanishes into thin air. Something strange is happening in the Mushroom Kingdom, and Mario is off to find out.

I'm not going to spoil the ending silly! ;)

Thanks, I'm not too confident in my own tiling skills. The sky works, but the ground doesn't fit in exactly in my opinion. Coding starts tonight. :)

I'm helping sprite now too. I made a little scene here, and things I've sprited for it include:

•New grass tiles (I've actually done all eight directions of these, it's just not necessary for the mockup)
•Bricks
•New Question-mark Block
•Empty Question-mark Block

Post by: Kren on September 06, 2008, 09:26:49 pm
I like the idea, and everything but IMO the Mario seems abit deform. one arm is bigger than the otherone, hmm and about the tiles I really like the retro look, try to get some inspiration fro nes mario for the grass. :P

The shading of Mario really... doesn't look that great with how the rest of the game's images are drawn. it's too dark compared to the lighter colors of the rest; On top of that, he looks pretty far out of proportion to the rest of the game. It just... doesn't look all that great together. I do agree with Kren on the point that you need to make the grass tiles look more like those found in Mario.
Title: Re: Super Mario Bros. Blitz
Post by: Moldrill on September 06, 2008, 09:55:09 pm
I agree with mostly everything you two have said. I think that everything should be sprited and shaded more like how Mario is. And Kren, one arm isn't bigger than the other. The perspective is angled so that you can just see his other arm a little bit. Basically I only like the sky and the grass. The goomba is decent, but needs some editing. I'll work on it.

Yes I understand that, but the arm you can't see seems chopped, I recommend you to make the long arm one pixel short, and make the small arm the same lenght, it will look good, then I reccomend you to improve the shading in the arms since right now it looks weird, just add light colour above the top line and delete the two lines.. then add the other eye, and clean the outline, since they are some pixels that look off. Oh and also move the botons in his cloth, one is in the middle of the two o.O. but I do like the use of black colour.. that might be just me.

He's wearing a striped shirt and it's staying striped.

I'll try adding his second eye, I don't know if it'll look good. Not all previous Mario sprites have two visible eyes. I will clean the outline as much as I can. There are only two buttons also, and like previous Mario sprites, one of them you can't see the entire button because of the curve of his belly.

I'll post the edited sprite soon
Title: Re: Super Mario Bros. Blitz
Post by: Moldrill on September 06, 2008, 11:12:36 pm
The second eye looked bad. I fixed the arms by making the one on the right longer, which looked better than the way you suggested. I also cleaned the outline up a tad. And the buttons are now where they are supposed to be. Original is on the left.

Don't worry, it looks good on Luigi when smaller (Chris should have it uploaded in a few seconds in fact)

Don't mind the '!' Block. I was kind of bored, and every '?' I put in didn't look that appealing and kind of make the block look... meh. So I thought of SMW and put in the '!' :P

Wow! Those are great. I think the goomba is the only one that doesn't fit in too well. Thanks for the help, I'll make sure to include you in the credits if this project takes off. :)

I'm going to try and edit your ! Block to have a ?. But other than that, great work. Especially on the ground tile.

Title: Re: Super Mario Bros. Blitz
Post by: Nabeshin on September 07, 2008, 06:21:09 pm
Well, the new Goomba's feet fit the style more.  Is it supposed to have legs, though?  It looks like it has little pixel legs.  Also, I personally like the old Goomba's face more.
Title: Re: Super Mario Bros. Blitz
Post by: Porkchop on September 07, 2008, 06:36:04 pm
I fixed the Goomba a little and added a little walking animation, nothing big.

That pretty much fixes everything I mentioned.  The wider stance makes the Goomba look much more natural and Goomba-like.

Look at Super Mario Bros. 3. I was going for a style kind of like that color-choice wise. Mario is red and black, but everything else is brightly colored. I think it gives the style a nice contrast.

I like it, actually. Especially the idea of a more energetically moving Mario. The thing that just bothers me is the tiles and all. Pyro already did a step into the right direction, but the thing is that Mario and Luigi seem to have something like a "texture", whereas the surroundings of them look "boring", if you will. Add something like a texture.

I played around with the tiles a little.

(http://i33.tinypic.com/2ldbmfc.png)

I just played with the outline on Sharon's tiles to make them look more "thick" to fit the style of Mario, which is what I did with the Ground and "?" Block.

Also here's a little Mockup. I think it fits much better with Mario now.

They look a little weird to me, the clouds especially.. Well, the hills are good. But if you look at Mario, he doesn't really have thick outlines anywhere. Just the fact that his hat brim and overalls are black lend to that illusion.. I just feel like having thick outlines on everything makes the scene much more "busy"
Title: Re: Super Mario Bros. Blitz
Post by: Moldrill on September 14, 2008, 01:18:38 pm
The hills look better, but the rest of it is fine the way it is. I'm changing the Item Block to have a smoother questionmark in it, like Super Mario Land 2.

Looks more like sand to me. But yeah I agree I should do something different for dirt. Hmm... Maybe instead of dirt I could do stone ground like the older Mario games.

Doesn't fit the pallet exactly. But I tried it with the real pallet colors and it looked worse. Maybe I'll add one more color to the green later.

That looks amazing! :D I love the style.

Hmm, his head looks weird on a few frames though.

I was thinking about the 2nd, 3rd 4th and 5th, from left to right.
His head always looks different, except on the last two where it looks the same.
On the 3rd frame the head just looks small.

Other than that, good job! This is progressing very well until now, keep it up! :)

Post by: Moldrill on September 28, 2008, 06:55:51 pm
The changing in the shape of his head is just the angle is different making it look smaller sometimes. Once Nick finds out how to compile World Artist for Leopard we can really get this project rolling.

Here's Bowser, we decided to switch it up and base the sprite off of the Super Mario Bros. Super Show!

(http://i358.photobucket.com/albums/oo28/Drillisaur/SMB%20Blitz/bowser.png)

This is what we based it off.

Now that that's out of the way... his horns and spikes look bumblebee-patterned, is that intentional?  His body looks pretty good, kudos on that, but (I think) he needs more defined spikes, and maybe some protruding fangs, because right now he resembles a bumblebee-hippo.  And something odd is going on with his crown, unless it's supposed to look like a Bunny Hood or Pikachu ears.

One of the major faults I saw in this sprite at least based on where you based it off of was that he has no visible tail or teeth and the colors seem off. Also, the crown seemed to big.

So I took the liberty to take a stab at fixing those and the results are here:

Post by: NickAVV on October 11, 2008, 04:38:06 pm
In my opinion, the old crown and mouth were perfect. He does need a tail, but yours is placed in a way that it makes that area look very busy. I think it'd be better off a bit smaller, and not right next to his legs.
Title: Re: Super Mario Bros. Blitz
Post by: Moldrill on October 11, 2008, 05:14:58 pm
Really, the colors are off? Sorry but we're not going to change the games entire pallet because you think that Bowser's colors are a little off. Also the crown you gave Bowser seems bland and unoriginal. It was good the way it was. Like Moldorma said, the mouth doesn't need little teeth poking out either. I will ask Uma to see what he can do about the tail. Thanks, but no thanks.

The old crown was fine, but I think it looks better with the teeth. The tail makes that area look crowded, but just throw in the teeth to the original drawing and if you ask me it instantly looks much better.
Title: Re: Super Mario Bros. Blitz
Post by: शेफाली on October 12, 2008, 12:27:30 am
I agree with TDJ about the crown and the teeth.  But I think it would be a good idea to give him a tail; just make a better-looking one.

EDIT:  I got an idea to add some black pixels to the bottom of the bush.  I'm not sure if that made it look better or worse…

yeah I couldn't get it to look right, but as I have said before spriting is not my forte I was just trying to get the idea across.

I was mainly refering to the spikes on his shell and his belly being yellow not this bland orange color. I am sure your pallet has a more suitable yellow. That was the only color error I saw as far as your source material. As far as the crown being bland and unoriginal so was the one he had in the cartoon, but it is your game I was just trying to help and give my opinion.

Nice the spike colors still bother me a bit, but they are fine I guess. Mainly the horns on the head they kind of blend into the crown.
