[img]http://i60.tinypic.com/684i6w.png[/img] Early tech demo of Luigi Land! It's a Mario SHMUP with a handful of Gradius mixed in. Here you can see Luigi firing aimlessly at the empty void while a homing bullet bill circles around him.

What's up with Mario's palette?

I can count at least 5 colors on Mario. Is there some Megamaning going on then?

[quote="Guinea"] It is? I can count at least 5 colors on Mario. Is there some Megamaning going on then?[/quote] Hmm, looks like you are right. Sorry, I actually didn't catch that until you brought it up.

[img]http://i60.tinypic.com/25fnghl.png[/img] This is me testing out the upgrades, as well as showing off a Luigi that no longer looks like Mario. * Speed up (1): Increases your movement speed by 20% of your base speed. Can be bought up to 5 times, doubling speed when maxed out. * Superballs (2): Fires a superball at 315 degrees; bounces off of walls. Can be bought a second time to get a second one fired at 45 degrees. * Multi (3): 3-way shot with your main gun. It's the more defensive of the two gun upgrades; it offers improved coverage but you'd have to get close to inflict good damage on anything that doesn't die in one hit. * Bulllet Bill (4): Fires exploding Bullet Bills. It's the more offensive of the two gun upgrades; it packs a wallop but doesn't improve on coverage. Both Multi and Bullet Bill are mutually exclusive; buying either upgrade removes the other. * Option (5): Undecided on whether to use the standard or formation variant, but basically this is a glowing, floaty thing from the Gradius series that essentially doubles your firepower (or triples, if you have two). You can buy up to two options. * Shield (6): Gives you a force field so you don't explode if you get hit. The shield can take three hits, but mercy invincibility is almost non-existent. Your sky pop in this game is as vulnerable as the Vic Viper is, so colliding with anything other than an item will kill you unless you are shielded. Colliding with a solid surface will kill you quickly even if you are shielded. In case anyone was wondering, this does take place in Sarasaland, and you are saving Daisy (as well as Mario, who was unfortunately captured during his cliched save-the-princess routine). Tatanga is not the main antagonist.

Hey now, if it makes you both feel any better, my entry could still be a total flop, Especially with how much Vram I'm eating with it. Not to mention how many problems are present with the current (And still experimental) DMG effect, which prevents me from doing several things. [img]http://i.imgur.com/4uU8GVE.png[/img] Finally finished "Burn'em". Also: changed fonts to something a bit more fitting, on some advice I got. On to "Dodge!" now.

Fixed the colors so I can stick to the rules. Plus it gives my game a mocha taste: [img]http://i.imgur.com/oyOV1kY.jpg[/img]

So far so good! [spoiler][attachment=0]demoPage.png[/attachment][/spoiler]

For anyone who want's to give this a quick beta test: http://www.mediafire.com/download/m1e332mxop8p0mu/DMG_arcade_test.zip Remember: the controls noted refer to that of a real gameboy, and not the actual controls. Z and X = A and B, and enter = Start. Known problems: Typo on the instruction screen for "Burn'em" ("Breath", instead of "Breathe") "Dodge!" uses a placeholder text block, and has no gameplay. All dialogue refers to that of an actual gameboy, and not that of the actual gameplay controls. (This is for effect, I won't fix this)

seems pretty cool but some text is unreadable. Also the music doesn't sound like game boy music

I'll let you guess what this is [img]http://i61.tinypic.com/fjn49x.png[/img]

Once you get that installed, you should be all set to play. http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35 [quote="lu9"]seems pretty cool but some text is unreadable. [/quote] That seems a bit vague, could you get me a screenshot of the text in question?

Pretty interesting. I just wish I had no school right now. Damn it!

I should study for tests, but that theme is soooo gooooood

Bad news, I'm not going to be able to finish my entry. I have to house sit for the next few days, and didn't have a chance to pack my computer. (my laptop has gone kaput as well) Unless I can get it brought over, I'm stuck submitting the current prototype, as my entry. Sorry folks, and good luck to all of you.
