Super Mario Battle - Developers and Spriters wanted!

**Heapons** · (This post was last modified: 05-25-2019, 04:45 AM by Heapons.)

Basically, this is a game where you have to fight each others either in a versus mode or minigames.
"Oh, but there's already Super Mario War!". Well, this game will be different... Perhaps completely different.
I'm actually planning:
- Local Multiplayer
- Level Editor
- Multiples Gamemodes
- Items/Power-ups
- Entities: Koopa Clown Car, Trampoline, Pushable Blocks,...
- Current Playables: Mario, Luigi, Wario, Waluigi, Toad, Bowser, Hammer Bro, Koopa, Goomba, Yoshi
That's all for now but I plan to add more features soon.

This game will be made in GameMaker: Studio.
I made a lot of sprites but I'm still looking for developers so that's why there's not any proof of concept.

I'm going to explain how the gameplay should look like...
This is a fangame where all you have to do is to stomp (with a health system) or use items (Koopa Clown Car, Kuribo Shoe,...), map elements and power-ups against your foes (excluding other gamemodes).
There will be many gamemodes and maps, the design of the game will be based on Super Mario Bros.
This game will be playable up to 4 players, with maps from multiple Mario games.

We are

This is a non-profit project so unfortunately, I will not be able to pay developers.

cool idea it sounds fun to play

"i'm also a firm believer that you should go about game design chill-ly. don't go too hard, or you'll burn yourself out. just be an easy-going fellow, it'll get released eventually."

You won't regret it, believe me Wink

Do you have any designs or plans besides character lists? I think you'll have more luck getting programming help if you flesh out your idea more.

Well... just imagine that you're playing Battle Mode from SMB3 but there's more maps and you can use power-ups.
If this is still unclear for you, just take a look at Super Mario Bros X (another fangame)'s battle mode.

Wait, i'm going to update the thread...

Updated the thread! Tell me if you need of additional informations.

Ideally I shouldn't have to imagine it. You should be able to tell us exactly how it will work.

I'll update the thread as long there's people confused about how the game will look like (or when i have any news about the game).
Speaking of... i updated it (again).

- Local Multiplayer
- Plugins, Custom Characters and Custom Maps

Especially by the fact that it does not seem like you made any games prior, you are making this too ambitious, since barely any Mario fangames have these, and the ones that do are created by people with at least 2 years of game development experience.

Maybe i could put these ideas aside? Also, i was thinking about coding it in Game Maker 8 for Plugins and some other features?

GM 8 can do most things that newer versions of GM can do, but I would recommend against using it for online multiplayer.

Online multiplayer is notoriously difficult to do well - in fact, even AAA games have a hard time making good online multiplayer. I'd recommend sticking with local multiplayer for now, unless you really know what you're doing.

Course clear! You got a card.

I would take Vinny's advice. The latest community project died because it was too ambitious and planned to have online multiplayer.

Yeah, you right i guess.

I'd say build your core features first, then progressively add the more complicated bits as you go. That way, if something proves too difficult to make (or you just get bored of the project) you've still got a presentable game at the end.

**Heapons** · 07-30-2018, 03:33 PM

I decided to make the game in GameMaker 8 instead of GameMaker: Studio 1.4

**Heapons** · 10-06-2018, 05:41 AM

Do you think that i should cancel this project or...?

**lean** · 10-09-2018, 07:49 AM

why do you want to cancel this project? looks promising enough, and liked bigpotato's suggestion since it works..
and i always worked like this. base first, additions later.

I'm gonna be honest, i made like a lot of sprites but i can barely code and that's why i made a thread here... because i'm looking for programmers. I'm litteraly a noob at coding (from scratch of course, i can edit existing pieces of code).

**Heapons** · 10-28-2018, 05:56 AM

Alright, I won't cancel this project if you like it guys...

I'd suggest changing engines. Try Godot and probably try learning GDScript.
