Chaoxys sprite stuff place

[Chaoxys]

Just a shot from a little bonus room I'm working on.


It's somewhere in world 5, although I keep having to tone down the difficulty as it feels more like a late game level than midgame (as shown by my low health).

Wario Land sprite, if I'm not mistaken?

Yep. World 1 has a level made up of SMB sprites (Retro Run), and that got me thinking, lots of games, both unofficial and by Nintendo, love to use the SMB sprites, but wheres the love to the portly anti hero's classic sprites?

[Chaoxys]

Who likes ice levels? Who like BGs? You like both? Then do I have an update for you!


Probably worth mentioning that this BG is made up of 6 different layers which looks really pretty with the parallax scrolling.

As some of you may or may not be aware of, NCFC (Nintendo Community Fangame Convention) starts tonight. Sadly, due to real life stuff getting in the way, Midas Machine won't be releasing, but we wanted to prove that we are making progress and haven't been sitting on our hands the whole time, so we are showing off a few new mechanics. I'm here to show off one of them a few hours early for you guys.

A new playable character appears!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I love c:

NCFC has started so the Midas Machine booth is up. It doesn't have too much that's different from last year aside from a number of new screenshots, some of which show off some new features of the game. It also links to the demo that came out a few months ago.

So I'm totally not making a full MM sheet for Demo or anything...

On another note, which of these do you all thing looks better for a fire palette for her?

Left is her basic fire palette as seen in the ASMT games, right is my take on it.

[Heraga]

It all depends on what you think. Wanna stick to Asmt Demo? Go with #1. Want a custom Demo sprite? Go with your version.

Right.

Duuuuuude, please tell me you used that Blaarg sprite you once posted long ago. I don't even remember which forum it was (maybe TSR?), but it's literally my favorite sprite of yours.

Well thats just it, both have their own appeals, so I wanted to get some more opinions on it to see what everyone else thinks.

As of right now it's still planned to show up, but things can always change so I can't say anything for sure.

[Heraga]

So as I saw in the last page, you were going to to make A Midas Machine Thing once MM is done? Do you have any ideas for it?

That was more so me joking around. I'd be all for spriting it, but theres a very good chance that, unless someone here is interested in programming, that I won't be doing AMMT.

[Heraga]

Eh ok..also is there anything changed in the NCFC 2014 version of MM?

Unfortunately there isn't. We've actually made a number of updates to the game (especially in the first two worlds) since the demo's release in June, but due to lack of time and being super busy irl, we were unable to set up a new demo.

[Heraga]

Ok then. I have another question: Who is yoir favorite Asmbxt character? Demo, Iris, Kood, raocow, or Sheath?

Probably Demo, although I like all of them in the end, mainly due to how their personalities have been shaped by the talkhaus community. It gives them all some lovable charm.

[Heraga]

Out of the 5, how many have you made MM styled sprites for? You showed us Demo and Iris. What about Kood, raocow, and Sheath?

I've only made sprites for Demo and Iris, and with Iris, I only have the standing pose. Honestly, my concern right now is more so on spriting all the other things we need for MM, so I'm afraid I have no plans on spriting the other 3, at least not now (although Kood is just a Koopa so to be fair, I sort of sprited him already).

OH THERE'S A DEMO

I mean actual game demo, not... Demo

BETTER PLAY THE HECK OUT OF IT IF I CAN FIND THE TIME


It's hard to say which of the two palettes is nicer... the pinkish one is subtle but the orangish one stands out more. The orange one is probably the better choice though, because of its bolder color.

Well I hope you enjoy the demo. Keep in mind that a number of things have been changes (1-3 has been completely remade, the sewer boss has been replaced, ect.

I hope you also enjoy this Demo:

Ewww Demo....whats down there? Anyways, how are you going to use Captian Toad in a 2D Platformer? Must be kidda harder....

[Bwarch]

Not really. The mechanics carry over into 2D really easily since it's just based on restricting movement.

Pretty much what Bwarch said. We have a lot of things to work with with him. Dune Buds, springs, rail platforms, Helepads, Cataplants, and many other things can be used to make up for his lack of jumping ability. Actually, we posted some shots of a test level we made on the NCFC forum topic for MM.
