Some of them indirectly relate to MFGG, but I will admit I haven't contributed much to MFGG in the intended grand scheme of things if any.
Also, I do understand I may actually be over-ambitious and I do certainly seem like it, but the thing is, in their current states, these projects and (maybe) business threads are only just experiments. They are intended to become full-fledged official business projects at the most, I will admit, but in their current states, they're only just experimental projects, and they will grow and I will learn programming and coding, etc., as I go.

In fact, you might've guessed by then that my projects actually have the suffix "test", such as "Princess Peach Test" - this means I'm testing out certain features within their respective engines and learning and (maybe) these projects growing as I go, and you've probably also noticed the [OPTIONAL] Prefix here in this thread - this petition is entirely optional and ultimately it was all just down to my opinion anyway. Others may have substantially or entirely different visions, but this is just my personal perspective.


So I'm sorry if I came off as a little much for what my skill level is right now, but I'm not intending to be over-ambitious in any way; I'm just letting these projects start out small and then become entirely new, official projects as they and I grow. I'm letting things go slow and steady, I'm not trying to rush things or anything.

What are you actually doing to accomplish these extremely, and I cannot overstate that word enough, EXTREMELY lofty goals? I'm not trying to be rude, but outside of one doodle mockup of a fangame level and "business plans" ranging up to an entire multimillion dollar theme park, I don't think I've actually... seen any reason why you expect Nintendo, a company infamous for not being overly kind with its IPs in the first place to listen to you and license their properties to you.

The thing is, I've been slumming around this community and adjecent communities for over a decade now, and I've seen so many people crash and burn because they come right out of the gate with massive ambition but no work ethic or experience. I think you need to start small and actually make a thing before you start with these frankly colossal scale business plans that involve billion dollar companies listening to your whims.

I agree, Mario isn't really fit for a sitcom. Mario is probably more suited to a cartoon or a movie anyway.
Plus I'm not sure sitcoms are popular in Japan, so if was going to be one, it may not be localised into Japanese.

Also signing online petitions does absolutely nothing, especially ones asking big companies to do this, or do that.

Passion is instrumental to success, but only if you focus it in the right places. You're putting way too much on your plate and are expecting us to eat it up just as much. What you need to do is relax, take a step back and stop trying so hard to look so... businessy?

Keep your head down, and if you're going to learn to program, just go ahead and do it instead of saying you'll "learn to program as I program" - I can wholeheartedly tell you you're going to need to know a lot more than the tutorials will throw at you.

One step at a time, yeah? It's all cool and all having these ideas, and I'm not telling you you can't; just that we don't need to know every single idea you have. Like it or not the truth is, not every idea is a good one. And if you can't listen to people telling you it's a bad idea, you might be in over your head.

Quite frankly I'm also not sure if this is some weird elaborate roleplay or what

Back on topic: There is absolutely no reason whatsoever that this petition exists. If you're unhappy with the direction Nintendo has taken their characters, that's on you. I think the vast majority of people are pretty happy with the way Nintendo has handled their flagship characters. I'm sure there's some critiques here and there however, as nothing is flawless.

Alright, but to put it simply, even if worse came to worse or even worst, I'd get as much done as minimally possible. In fact, here's the point: I'm obviously not focusing on those huge goals and scope right now and certainly not right at that moment; at least not directly. Practically everything I mentioned before and now at that moment were metaphors; those were the ultimate goals I had in mind for my business. I'll certainly focus on the smaller goals only at that very moment, and make them even smaller if they were too ambitious, also, as a side note, any engines that would prove too clunky for me or anything like that whatsoever, etc., I'd drop and move on to the next one. I'm currently using Godot, and so far it's proving very good for me. Sure, there have been some roadblocks and bumps and ruts along the way, but ultimately I'm learning, so it's all OK with me.

To put it simply, I'm happy with my own way of things, even and especially when what I've just mentioned were metaphors. You're entitled, I'm entitled. Just my opinions and your opinions only. Nothing more. Thanks for understanding.



I also mentioned that the petition was optional, especially in the title of both the thread and the actual petition itself, so if you're not going to sign in and/or it never succeeds, that's fine with me. I just thought maybe Nintendo's flagship could at least loosely follow along with the fans personally, but I'm going to repeat myself: ultimately, it's just my personal opinion.



Also, this is obviously not a roleplay - this is "serious". Again, thanks for understanding.
