Yeah, It's real. I'm working on my seventh and last installement of my open-source mario engine.



Here's the stuff that will be included on the engine

• Improved Coding (Every object will be indented and commented.)
  
• Mountables (Yoshi and the Kuribo Shoe will be added as well.)
  
• P-Meter (The P-Meter of SMB3 will be added.)
  
• SMB2 / SMB3 & SMW Holdable objects.
  
• Lite Version (A Lite version will probably be released.)
  
• One Sprite Animation (Every object will use only 1 sprite for each animation.)
  
• 12 Powerups (Mushroom, Fireflower, Iceflower, Carrot, Leaf, Frog, Tanooki, Hammer, Boomerang, Super, Bomb, Blue Shell and Gold.)
  
• No More Voices This engine will not have that annoying voices.[/list]
  

If anyone wants to see somethin' in this engine, just drop it.

Just make sure people can't use this as a Hello Engine again. You should make a website where people can download and merge them with gmres files maybe some people drop some more mergeables later on. So the engine itself covers the basic Mario platforming, while your engine website includes skin packs and mergeables. If this done properly, it will be kind of like smw rom hack ish so people can't se it as a level editor.

Wait, private? Does that mean we have to ask you to use it and tell you what we'll use it for?

Yeah, That's it!

I just don't want to see crappy clones made out of this engine

All that sounds great. Be sure to include proper sprites for Yoshi - the Hello Engine is missing a lot of sprites for the Yoshi animations, like when going through doors. I'd also suggest using variables like "hspeed = runspeed" so that you can change Mario's mechanics by adjusting a single variable. This is especially useful when adding items that change Mario's abilities or for adding multiple characters based on a single template.

I'm aiming to add all poses for Yoshi.

Also what's wrong with making it lite?
Except redoing most of the code

A lite version might happen to be available.

And I'm leaving my SMW engine for Drazeey Engine 7.
