[b]Mario Bros. DDX[/b] (name not final) is a revamped version of the Mario Bros. game we're all very well aware of, but with new elements that make it feel fresh and interesting. our current team consists of Yoshbert, Fireball3k, Goombaking123, VinnyVideo, GamePixel, and myself. Yoshbert is currently handling the engine with Game Maker Studio, and you can check out an early engine test [b][url=http://puu.sh/au0kN/9e1aac60ed.zip]here.[/url][/b] we've got a lot of ideas set out right now, many of which have been documented in [url=http://puu.sh/au0La/4087ca9e12.txt]this handy dandy text file.[/url] however, we're currently trying to work out a basic engine for Mario and stage gimmicks first, since they've all got sprites done, making the workload easier. here's what the game might end up looking like later down the road- [img]http://puu.sh/au0Rl/9387478291.png[/img] this is just the beginning, and we don't mind having more crew members. if you'd like to help out, send me a PM and we'll work things out from there.

Looks like we have two Mario Bros. games competing... Mario Bros Battle Online and Mario Bros DDX

i was making one too but i never made a topic about it

I'm already blown away by the dedication and screenshot.

There is some pretty good talent here, so I'll keep an eye on this!

[img]http://puu.sh/aB6aa/edc4f54109.png[/img] here’s a mock-up of the SMB1 stage, heavily based off of Mushroom Kingdom from Melee. note that the perspective seen with tiles here might not stay in the final version

Well that sounds pretty awesome. Keep it up guys. You...Aren't in need of items/levels/enemies designs, are you? Either way, I hope this project won't end up in oblivion, it would be too bad. I'mma read this text file too, sounds like a brainstorming...

Looks interesting, why are you calling it "DDX" instead of just "DX"?

Double Deluxe, I guess

[quote="Guinea"]Looks interesting, why are you calling it "DDX" instead of just "DX"?[/quote] I dunno. DDX just sounds more over-the-top than just DX, I feel. the name in of itself isn't exactly final, though DDX might not be an element that gets dropped

I like this. Is there any chance of levels that don't mirror itself?

DDX because there already was a "Super Mario Bros. DX" So I found it interesting you pick DDX too ^-^

[quote="Neweegee"]I like this. Is there any chance of levels that don't mirror itself?[/quote] I've thought about it. it's not too far out of the question, though designing those kinds of levels are much more difficult because the screen loops like the original Mario Bros.

[img]http://puu.sh/aMi9f/223b7ef241.png[/img] logo!! EDIT: [img]http://puu.sh/aMP20/3eaaf40e60.png[/img] after some work, the final logo is upon us

The logo looks pretty cool! Although, what's with the Japanese and the "Dairanto!"?

[quote="Blutorus"] Although, what's with the Japanese and the "Dairanto!"?[/quote] "Dairantō" is Japanese for "Super". The only reason it's the japanese translation for "Super" is because Mit thought it sounded cool. Though it may also be to differentiate from "Super Mario Bros. DDX", which Guinea brought up earlier in the topic.

Remember the game Mario Bros. +? I liked that remake of Mario Bros. but it never got finished... Take a look at that one and see what you think. I like the combination of platforming and classic Mario Bros. stages. :)

DDX" when translated. it's there to drive the "over-the-top" nature of the logo home [quote="[url=http://phpbb.mfgg.net/viewtopic.php?p=413380#p413380]MarioSonicCouncil[/url]"]Remember the game Mario Bros. +?

heard you guys like mockups, so here's another one [img]http://puu.sh/b46q4/b4aed0b725.gif[/img] here's a gif of how the menu would look in-action
