A Mario fangame! It's a fangame! With Mario!

[Zero Kirby]

Gee whiz here's Zero Kirby coming to tell us that progress has slowed to a crawl yet again because he can't find sprites

"Zero Kirby why you even using M&L3 sprites if you can't find any"

Good question, hypothetical man! So take a gander with your peepers in this direction.



Super Mario Classic is leaving the Mario and Luigi style behind almost entirely. I'm still using the colours for a lot of things like that Mario there but otherwise it's out. It is a shame, but otherwise I'll never finish this project.

Besides, that Mario has some Classic history in him. He's an edit of Dex's sprites that I used in Mushroom Archipelago! Only made kinda better. Been having a lot of help from Mit with that. And that's Drag's tileset right there, too.

So yeah. Hold tight while the game slips into an entirely different art style. Sticker Stage's progress will probably move along quicker.

EDIT: Oh yeah I suppose I should mention - the above is simply a mockup, though the game will eventually wind up looking more-or-less like that.

I like the lighting used in this!

So first, another mockup of something I wouldn't have been able to do with the old Mario and Luigi style.



Second, an in-engine screenshot for once.



Thirdly, some sprites. Again, Mit's been a huuuuuuuuge help with these. I'm terrible at shape. Not so bad at shading them though: I like how Metal Mario turned out in particular.

I feel that Mario's complexion is a little dark. While he is Italian, the character is actually pretty pale.

Fair enough. It's the one colour I carried over from the "original edit of Dex's sprites" (put in quotations because I think it's a silly phrase but the only one I could come up with). The rest are from BIS, mostly, but Mario's skin colour from BIS made him look like he came from the Simpsons.

I kinda like the colour myself but if enough people really hate it I can change it.

In-engine shading. Even though it's just overlaying a sprite on top of Mario, it'll let me do stuff like this.



These were all taken before the exact shade was finalized, but they'll look like this, basically.

Also, simplifying the tileset a wee bit to fit Mario himself a little better.
