About a week ago, I released a new version of my game on Dropbox. I am sending out this announcement not just to entice new playtesters but also to inform current playtesters of some of the changes I made:
- The game will no longer freeze if the game window is minimized or made inactive. It only took me 10 minutes to research Direct X to find out how to do this. I should have made this quality of life change years ago. A lot of people have complained about the game crashing and freezing. I hope this solves this problem. Note that I made this change to all 3 apps: the main game executable (PlaySMN), the map tester (SMMapTst), and the single stage tester (VGMario).
- The title screen used to freeze if allowed to run for more than 2 minutes. This was due to a graphical scrolling error. I fixed this.
- I made the Mario and Luigi's Hit Box / Footprint a little smaller. Some people were complaining that it was too sensitive when they were trying to stomp baddies.
