Super ZZT Land
Re: Super Mario ZZT Land
I really like your graphic style. Nice color selection, and a cool classic video game feel. It has a good sense of depth. It might look even better if you could pull the middle pyramids base's one square lower, so that it does not sit at the same height as the ones further away. Are you using a side-scrolling engine like in the SZZT encyclopedia?

Re: Super Mario ZZT Land
Hey, thanks for the compliment but it's not entirely 'my style'. I'm aiming for the underdog feel of Mario Land 1 & 2 combined with the finesse of Mario All-Stars & World, plus some elements of New SMB & 3D Land. I really got a jolt of creativity on this one.
Kudos to T-bone for inspiration and the antagonist, EvilMario.
The title screen is also subject to change. I'd like to put a little demo there.

You read my mind. It's back to the drawing board...Commodore wrote:It might look even better if you could pull the middle pyramids base's one square lower, so that it does not sit at the same height as the ones further away.

No. I want to utilize the player and the LINK II gravity engine... So far so good. I'll post the new engine soon.Commodore wrote:Are you using a side-scrolling engine like in the SZZT encyclopedia?
Re: Super Mario ZZT Land
Those games don't have graphical limitations of zzt. Sure you take inspiration from them, but in order to translate it, a lot of interpretation goes on. Take the trees you used copiously in link II, the style is usually to draw a forest with fades, and make it look all chaotic and natural. Instead you mimicked the source (tile based video games) and it turned out looking original (for zzt).

Re: Super ZZT Land
Thanks. You appreciate the simple things.
So I came across Sonic256's rendition of the Mario Underworld music in Merbotia, an impressive game for the time.
I'm hitting some walls in SZZT, but I've got a sledgehammer.

Re: Super ZZT Land
Okay. Here's the platform engine concept.
I need to figure out how to get the objects to follow the player on X-axis in regions. Yellow is Jump. White is Fall.
Jump when up is pressed:

Re: Super ZZT Land needs YOUR microgames!
This is really starting to take shape... No turning back now!
Why not contribute a microgame or two? :)
