Happy 25th to the site that's had a HUGE impact on me and why I do creative hobbies! And unlike Bluesky, I'm not constrained by the character limit to gush about it >
(And also all of my other forum posts at the time of writing this are mostly from when I went under an older username as a teenager with rather embarrassing behaviour so... figure it'd be good to post more and push those older posts out...)

I'm 20 now at the time of writing this post, and I started posting on the forums and engaging with the discord community at around 15-16ish years old? But I've been on the site ever since 2015 or so? I'd be 7 at the time, and that feels SO weird now that I'm actually thinking about it >_>;
Time feels like it passed by so quick once you're no longer living in it...

Regardless, as someone who lives in a country where Nintendo isn't exactly much of a thing (its all mobile games and AAA PlayStation fans you'd find most of the time) it was kinda my gateway to Mario games in general before I was able to find a way to play them. But, even then, I always just kinda kept coming back, it was always so fun to just see people making fangames regardless of the varying degrees of quality, and that always inspired me...
Games like Psycho Waluigi, SMB Dimensions, and the Charisma Series (yes i know this ones a bit of a weird one but hush, its just as important in my heart ok) and I've still retained that utter love for fanworks to this day (even if obviously I have more taste and sense of quality now lol, a lot of the rougher fangames were funner as a naive kid unfortunately)
It pretty much kickstarted my interest in game development as a whole and helped boost all of my creative skills because I wanted to make fangames of my own ^_^
(and in turn, responsible for me pursuing my current college degree [Software Engineering] because I knew I wouldn't be able to make a living off of art here, gonna be honest)

Anyways, I really do hope that more Mario fangames get made these days (and more games that are willing to get a bit more out there than just remaining in the overly Nintendo-like pile I've been seeing a lot of recent fangames fall into, and had a discussion in the discord server about) more people need to really put their heart into making stuff about the stuff and characters they like and just having fun with it; I've made a few fangames in the past (that either are unreleased, barely games because I made them as a kid, or games I made as a teen that im slightly embarrased about but still glad I made), and I'm still currently working on some right now (alongside fully original stuff) at the time of writing, a Touhou-Mario crossover (my current priority), and then later probably my dream game that's a Mario AU that's just full of the stuff I just love personally in other media too, AND I've contributed a fair amount to the current Community Fangame Project (Tusk Trouble)

It lives.

I'm not making this up. This is not a late April Fool's prank.

Super Mario Bros. & Midas Machine, the most-anticipated game on MFGG, is finally getting a new demo! I was trying to figure out how to celebrate MFGG's 25th birthday, and I decided that this would be a pretty good way to celebrate!

What's new in this demo?
The main thing that's new is a LOT of new levels. The 2021 anniversary build gave players three mostly-functioning worlds and a brief glimpse of the first quarter of World 4. Now, the demo takes us all the way to the start of World 7! Some of the levels in later worlds aren't 100% complete, but I think you'll find them to be fully playable.

Other things worth noting:

• Updated the Golden Mushroom counts for every level - some previous builds showed the wrong number of shrooms for a lot of levels
  
• Proofread the entire game script - the old version had quite a few typos
  
• Ensured that every room has a unique E. Gadd message - a lot of areas, especially in Worlds 3 and 4, were missing these
  
• Updated level names - some of the levels had generic placeholder names in previous builds
  
• Fixed various bugs - ranging from small graphical issues (like missing backgrounds) to game-breaking bugs
  
• Added several new secret areas (you'll understand why they were added soon)
  
• Fixed a sharp difficulty spike in the train level

Wait, what's up? I thought this thing was dead!
I thought so too! There hadn't been any progress on Midas Machine since the 2021 anniversary demo. Pretty much everyone had given up on the hope of there being any further progress, as the game had a very complicated tech stack, and modifying existing levels proved to be very complicated.

Last spring, Chaoxys shared the rest of the Midas Machine graphics on the mainsite, since it was looking like we'd never see another Midas Machine demo. However, I got to thinking: What if there was some way I could revive this thing? I chatted with Chaoxys and Mors for a bit, and I got access to the Midas Machine GitHub to start analyzing the problems that had been holding us back.

While I never was able to find a way to get Ogmo Editor running, I found a workaround that ensured I could still update existing levels! I realized that getting this thing to the finish line was not an insurmountable challenge. Since then, I've been doing at least some work on this project almost every day.

When will this game be finished?
I wish I could give you a definitive release date, but I'm not at that point yet. I still haven't seen much of the later worlds, and I'm still getting a feel for how complex the bosses and cutscenes will be to code. But I can confirm that we're a lot closer to being done than we were three months ago.

How far along are you?
Currently, I've been able to test about 74% of the game's planned content. To put things in perspective, the most recent public demo had only about 30% of the game's planned levels fully playable, and even those first three worlds had some defects and missing things. This demo includes 92 goals and 150 Golden Mushrooms, which is about 60% of the game.

What's left to do?
Here's a high-level view of what's left:

• Test the levels in Worlds 9 and 10 and fix any issues I find
  
• Finish implementing postgame content
  
• Add missing bosses
  
• Add a few more cutscenes
  
• Add a few missing objects - certain levels need enemies or NPCs that aren't in the current engine
  
• Fix bugs (yes, there will be some of those)

Will there be any more demos?
I'm not sure - that's something I'll discuss with Chaoxys as we make more progress on the remaining levels.

Can I help?
You can definitely help by playing the demo! It's helpful to get multiple pairs of eyes on this game. There are probably bugs and issues that no one's caught yet. It's also helpful to know if some section seems unreasonably difficult.

Otherwise, finishing this project is mostly a solo job. It's a matter of playing through each level, fixing any bugs I find, and adding any missing enemies or NPCs. At this point I'm the only person who has an OK-ish idea of how to do this.

That said, there are two tasks where there's a small chance you can help.

If you're an excellent composer, there are a couple more areas where I'd love to have a groovy original composition. PM me if you're interested.

If you have a proven track record of developing top-notch platformers in older versions of Game Maker, and you're interested in helping code boss fights, let me know. This is the hardest remaining work.

Will this affect progress on Tusk Trouble?
We're still making good progress on Tusk Trouble, MFGG's new Community Fangame Project. Most of the work on Tusk Trouble is being led by people other than myself, since we have a pretty good-sized team, and I should still have time to work on my Tusk Trouble levels once the pending assets have been completed. My primary role in that CFP is the reverse of what I'm doing for Midas Machine (making new levels instead of fixing existing levels), so I get to use a different part of the brain.

Go play this demo
Have fun and let me know what you think! I'll be checking this topic and the mainsite page regularly. This is a big moment for MFGG, and I hope seeing this new release puts a big smile on your face!]]> Download it here!

SMCM is not responsible for external disputes—such as arguments over namespaces—unless those conflicts take place within SMCM itself. The site is currently under development, and interest from users on other platforms is expected to grow as word of the site spreads. Created solely by SUPERBLOCK (known as SUPERBLOCKMFGG on SMCM).

SMCM is a completely free, ad-free platform where creating pages requires no extensive knowledge of wikitext. The site features numerous sections for storing various types of information and serves as a shared space for solo developers and small Mario development teams that adhere to SMCM's rules.

It also employs a "Passport" system that works as follows: imagine "Community 1" creates its own namespace (a dedicated section for communities or workgroups designed to guard against unwanted edits). First, users must register on the wiki with a global account before they can create a passport. Once registered, each user in that community must create a page following a specific structure—such as Community1:Username:User (or :Admin for the community leader)—and include a unique 4-digit code at the end (e.g., 1901). If an outsider from "Community 2" attempts to forge a "Community 1" passport without knowing that specific code, they will be completely unable to edit "Community 1" pages. There is also an "SMCM:" passport acting as public insurance, which protects general SMCM pages from unauthorized content changes.

You can view all pages freely without registering. However, to allow your community members to edit your specific pages, you must register with a passport. The process differs for solo developers or small teams seeking a space for their work: they must register using the "Solo_Devs:" passport to access the "ONLY ONE" section. There, they can maintain their own pages, but if another user attempts to edit them, the wiki automatically checks whether the username matches the page owner's; if it does not match, editing is blocked instantly.

There is also a dedicated section for viewing top site news, inspired by our mascot, Talki (a talking flower). Under her theme, special channels are available for posting important announcements or clarifications—similar to a forum layout, but strictly limited to community portal updates, such as page modifications and progress logs. These channels do not serve as a general discussion forum; you must use your own external communication platform (Discord, Reddit, WhatsApp, etc.) to host your community and avoid overloading the wiki.

Additionally, we have a general help page providing key guidelines for creating pages and learning the wiki's mechanics—covering essential topics like trivia layout, page creation standards, and technical info required to work smoothly in this space.

To help you get started, we have set up a few sample pages, a template portal, and a showcase section so you can see exactly how your workspace could look (though, naturally, these are just basic structural examples and lack extensive detail).

We ask for your patience, as this is a project that is currently—and will indefinitely remain—under active development. Please document any issues or inconsistencies in the wiki's "Report a Glitch" section, or contact me directly via my official administrator email: smcmglobaladmin@gmail.com.

This was originally a script for my YouTube channel but I decided to put it here instead because it's too focused on the event:
Since it is a MASSIVE wall of text, I just pasted my Google Docs of the incident to here.

I really appreciate your time listening to my experiences. I do want to give some pointers on how to keep yourself safe and prepare yourself in event of being hacked:

1. In this day of age, you cannot trust even your closest friends on social media. Because you never know if they got hacked. There are some ways to determine if it’s them like a secret phrase you disclose outside the chat or ask them a question only they know about you. If that doesn’t work or your friends don't know much about you. The number 1 rule of thumb is to never touch ANY files or any links you don’t recognize. If you have to, prepare your Discord account in a sandboxed environment like a virtual machine, make sure you have your backups like your passkeys ready, and do it from there.
   
2. Have a habit to log out frequently. Especially on systems that are more vulnerable like Windows. The less the active session you have, the less likely the hacker is able to hijack your accounts
   
3. Do not use any web browser passwords. It is best to have an offline password manager only on your phone and/or write it down in a notebook if you can keep it secure. Even though it is logged in, the password database and encryption key are typically laid around in your system that can be easily decrypted and it's not too much saving your password as a txt file.
   
4. It is best to have a YouTube channel tied to your Google account so that you can get the ball rolling by contacting YouTube Support on Twitter/X. Be sure to remember your YouTube account’s channel ID, name, and the URL to your latest videos. The more details you have, the more leverage you have to prove ownership.
   
5. If you have any old device sitting there collecting dust, register your Google account in it and keep it offline, the more old devices you have the better. Especially when your Google account got hacked, keeping it offline will prevent your Google account being synced and updated to the settings the hacker placed. Remember the security code from your Google account settings and remember the date/time. This will be your golden ticket to regain access to your hacked Google account when you’re communicating with YouTube support.
   
6. Always have multiple accounts as backups, never put all login in one basket (email). If your email account gets hacked, you’ll be in a worse position. And because of how Google handles my data, I cannot trust them to secure my most sensitive accounts anymore. I moved to Proton mail for that reason. I haven’t contacted Proton yet and hopefully I don’t have to end up in that point but from what I’ve heard they’re more proactive on protecting their consumers, especially paid customers.
   
7. If you have custom voicemail greetings on your phone, delete that and set that to default voicemail greetings. The reason why is that the hacker can utilize that to train AI and use it to impersonate you. In addition, if you receive unknown number calls, ignore them. If you have to answer, keep the silence and don’t even greet "hello".
   

Anyways, it was partially my fault not knowing the actual threat and letting my guard down for a moment. Please be careful out there, especially on Discord when it is a primary breeding grounds for hackers. Feel free to leave a comment below for any tips, your story/experience being hacked. I will try to read them and learn from yall as well.]]>
This was originally a script for my YouTube channel but I decided to put it here instead because it's too focused on the event:
Since it is a MASSIVE wall of text, I just pasted my Google Docs of the incident to here.

I really appreciate your time listening to my experiences. I do want to give some pointers on how to keep yourself safe and prepare yourself in event of being hacked:

1. In this day of age, you cannot trust even your closest friends on social media. Because you never know if they got hacked. There are some ways to determine if it’s them like a secret phrase you disclose outside the chat or ask them a question only they know about you. If that doesn’t work or your friends don't know much about you. The number 1 rule of thumb is to never touch ANY files or any links you don’t recognize. If you have to, prepare your Discord account in a sandboxed environment like a virtual machine, make sure you have your backups like your passkeys ready, and do it from there.
   
2. Have a habit to log out frequently. Especially on systems that are more vulnerable like Windows. The less the active session you have, the less likely the hacker is able to hijack your accounts
   
3. Do not use any web browser passwords. It is best to have an offline password manager only on your phone and/or write it down in a notebook if you can keep it secure. Even though it is logged in, the password database and encryption key are typically laid around in your system that can be easily decrypted and it's not too much saving your password as a txt file.
   
4. It is best to have a YouTube channel tied to your Google account so that you can get the ball rolling by contacting YouTube Support on Twitter/X. Be sure to remember your YouTube account’s channel ID, name, and the URL to your latest videos. The more details you have, the more leverage you have to prove ownership.
   
5. If you have any old device sitting there collecting dust, register your Google account in it and keep it offline, the more old devices you have the better. Especially when your Google account got hacked, keeping it offline will prevent your Google account being synced and updated to the settings the hacker placed. Remember the security code from your Google account settings and remember the date/time. This will be your golden ticket to regain access to your hacked Google account when you’re communicating with YouTube support.
   
6. Always have multiple accounts as backups, never put all login in one basket (email). If your email account gets hacked, you’ll be in a worse position. And because of how Google handles my data, I cannot trust them to secure my most sensitive accounts anymore. I moved to Proton mail for that reason. I haven’t contacted Proton yet and hopefully I don’t have to end up in that point but from what I’ve heard they’re more proactive on protecting their consumers, especially paid customers.
   
7. If you have custom voicemail greetings on your phone, delete that and set that to default voicemail greetings. The reason why is that the hacker can utilize that to train AI and use it to impersonate you. In addition, if you receive unknown number calls, ignore them. If you have to answer, keep the silence and don’t even greet "hello".
   

Anyways, it was partially my fault not knowing the actual threat and letting my guard down for a moment. Please be careful out there, especially on Discord when it is a primary breeding grounds for hackers. Feel free to leave a comment below for any tips, your story/experience being hacked.

Do you hate generative AI with all your heart and it should never touch your fingertips?
Do you think it's acceptable as an assistive tool?
Are there certain types of assets that should not be AI generated and others that are more acceptable?

Graphics, sounds, code, what's the general consensus here?]]> What is the overall opinion of the MFGG community?

The first that I'd like to share is gbStudio. It is the engine that I used for my fangame, Yet Another Mario Land. What makes it interesting is that makes ROMs for the GameBoy, Super GameBoy, and GameBoy Color! Once you wrap your head around the hardware quirks, the engine is surprisingly beginner friendly. It is really flexible too, I've seen some really neat stuff made with it.

Another is MegaZeux. I've never used it, but it's been in development since the 90s! It's mainly an ASCII-esqe engine. It has been ported to a lot of systems too, such as the DS and Wii. It is based on ZZT, which its creator went on to make Unreal.

Anyone have any other interesting or obscure game engines?]]>

I'm torn between picking Spain and France to win it all.

I ended up picking Spain to beat Argentina in the final because of how the brackets worked out.

What do y'all think?]]>
