Title: An Average Platformer (On Hiatus Until Further Notice)
Post by: Mechasaur on July 24, 2019, 09:33:18 PM
What's this?! Mechasaur is working on something in the PB Engine?! What is this debauchery?!

I got bored and I wanted to get involved more besides just snarking at everyone and poking fun at the lower quality projects in explore.

All I have to show right now is the title screen.

More updates to come soon via new posts.

However, as Mechasaur likes to do fun about low-quality games at the explore section, we will see if this game exceed our expectations.

I'm following this :)

PD: Also, that topic starting reminded me a lot to a Spanish YouTuber called "Alva Majo" that it's a videogame developer.

Mechasaur's own PB game... :) Wow. To be honest, I even didn't expect that for long already. I think you are improving as a PB member not only being a fan but also with you talk which have more explanations, direct opinions without too many hints, etc.

For now, I am curious how your PB game will look like for us. 8)

This game will take a lot of time for me to get it on a playable state and I have no idea if it's going to be as good as some of the other projects I've praised here. We'll see  ;)

No because theres no cpu and it crashes by using an attack

I wasn't aware of that second bug. The first "bug" isn't a bug. It's just a minor downside. PSF had a battle mode with no CPU, and it did well.

Power Star Frenzy (PSF) is a Mario Fangame that is like a 2D version of SM64. Sortof.

Sorry I forgot for the SM64 fangame. But at least this has allowed you to talk of Power Star Frenzy.

This image looks good but if looking closely then you can see it is actually quite a plain like an image below:
(https://i.ibb.co/hBpKM15/20190914091212-1.jpg) (https://ibb.co/gSsD7F1)

The reason why your game title looks good is because custom tiles and backgrounds may look incredibly good but you have not done any additional work such as decorations, weather, lightning, other effects. Replacing your tiles and background with built-in graphics considering you don't have any custom resources ready yet would cause for sure your title screen looking still quite a boring.

My goal is not to comment your game with this post but affect you to consider if you really know about what and why you are commenting for the other member posts. In a very alpha versions, people may just show the level perhaps plan or shape which has not been improved with a final front. And if remembering properly then also I started to show people about my more complicated levels with a built-in graphics and sound just to show what I am doing. Now, my game has been grown to a game called "Invasion: Going Personal".
I agree that people should apply more decent for their new projects if they are not doing something very complicated but please don't hurry to throw away other people projects immediately from a moment on when you see those! :)

I have my reasons, the screenshot you showed me is just flat and doesn't have too much going for it compared to other projects here.

Mechasaur you should add foreground and background sprites

Trust me, I will. Don't worry about it too much. It'll get polished eventually.

There's no fight bc Mechasaur ignored this.
Yeah and after all, he want to leave the PB community? He can leave, I don't care about him. After all he never had enough potential for Platform Builder.

Mario Builder was always his favorite thing. If he doesn't care for PB, that's fine. If he wants to leave, that's fine. If he wants to stay, I'm fine with that as well. Maybe, eventually, he'll make even a small game someday. We'll just wait and see.

Calm down buddy, it's just a hiatus. It won't kill ya.


He can only criticize other projects and make them down. Now I know why! >:D

Do you now? You do realize that games take a lot of time and effort to get right :P



The real reason why it's going on hiatus is because I lost motivation for the project and I need some time to relax. Maybe when I get some ideas is when I'll resume but I will let you all know when that day comes. Ciao!
