The Dazzle Mario Engine

-=Introduction=-
Bibby and I had a talk about his game: "The Revenge of the Walrus". We talked about how un-customisable most of the engines are (including the one his game uses), and how hard it is to change and add stuff. So, I'm making a new, fully documentated, Mario Engine, called the Dazzle Mario Engine. Heh heh.

-=Devlog=-
Since it's long from finished (I just started), I'll post progress here. Like a devlog.

Please let me know what you think!

Have you guys ever heard of Super Mario Bros X?

--EDIT: Apparently nintendo's lawyers had him remove it from his site! --

It's a custom mario game that combines all of the sprites/images from all of the SMB games. It comes with an editor that anyone can use to build mario games using any of the resources found in any of the games, and the creators went ahead and used their game engine to make a whole game that stands on its own, too.

If you haven't heard about it, definitely give it a look at. I think you might enjoy it!

I played an older version of SMB X ages ago and thought it was quite cool - I even wrote a review on MFGG. I'm still not quite sure why that particular game was removed, although it appears its removal was all a prank.

Also, Dazzle, if this particular engine starts growing a lot, I'd recommend you replace the graphics with placeholders (silhouettes or masks) so it doesn't become another Hello Engine (if you've played a lot of Mario fangames, you'll know what I mean, as Hello Engine games pretty much all look alike because no one bothers to change the graphics).

I'll add some variaton possibilities for those people.

Nice new screenshots
I like the background.

Thanks!

That sounds nice to me!

And I'll go on record again: Don't forget commenting. Don't forget indents. Don't forget logical variable names. If you absolutely must use D&D, make a GML version too. Don't be Hello.

I've done everything you said there already. You'll see when I release the .gmk

Muy bien.
