The probably most exciting topic for the outside world!
Every bit of information ready to be leaked to the outside is posted ITT. We try to post a bunch of screens on a regular basis for your entertainment, and if you're lucky you get a video too, once in a while :)

See here the trailer for the first chapter of Midas Machine back from NCFC:

Though, I have to disappoint you: the november release date in the end is wrong ;_;
It'll probably turn into December, since after all you want to play a good game and not a bug-filled half-assed rushed release, right?

Feel free to discuss, speculate, ask questions...

That video looks like a lot of fun! I'd love to try it out.

If everything goes according to plan (and I hope that's the case this time) then the first episode is released within December.
You can also feel free to apply as beta tester. Just see if you can catch me on MSN/AIM.

I'd be happy to test this, but I don't really use my Windows Live account.

Wow, looks awesome...
Nice sprites, the effects, the gameplay looks good too!

Just popping in to say I'm really loving this project. The uniqueness of Mario and Luigi's movements and attacks are great. One thing I'd like to suggest is the momentary "pause" when you get a power-up. A lot of fangames omit that effect and it always kind of jilts me out of the game. It reminds me that I'm playing a fangame. It's one of those Mario touches that really helps with familiarity, I think.

World map, now has an info box on each level showing the name and amount of gold shrooms collected and available in this level.

May as well show this here. To those who have seen the Rain Forest level... it sucks, I did a bad job making it, so heres some previews of Rain Forest 2.0

Image
Unlike the first Rain Forest which put you at level ground to Sharlea, this one puts you higher above her, but in situations where you are much more likely to fall.

Image
Like the other levels I've made, this one features a various features and looks ranging from the insides of trees, treetops, hills, and boardwalk like platforms.


As of right now I can't put in a full opinion of the level as neither of the enemies work as they should.

Looking great so far!

I think the treetops could use some variation. It just looks like a quilt of leaves. Are those two different Shark sprites? They look different in the two pictures, with the first one looking better. The last thing I'd comment on it... shark in the rain forest? Maybe an alligator or something would be more appropriate?

I have three points to defend against this point of yours, which indeed would be a valid point:
1) It's a forest where it rains, not the tropics, so an alligator wouldn't be any more appropriate than this shark.
2) It's not a shark.
3) Floating boxes with items in them?

;)

Curse you, Mario logic.

I love the look of the mapscreen, although I have to ask whether the mushroom gorge name was purposely names after the mario kart wii course. it seems a bit too much of a copy for my liking.

Also do you mind if I do a little edit on the golden mushrooms on the mapscreen? They seem a bit too small and squished.

Well, it is essentially the same location. Mushroom filled canyon in the MK, may as well make them the same place for the sake of both continuity and just for the fun of referencing it.

And presto. I'd provide you a screenshot of it, but yeah...

In regards to that little element... honestly, why would you hide the fact that it's a fangame? That's like trying to have a novel pass itself off as a TV show, complete with screen transitions and what have you not. If you can pull it off, great, but otherwise, trying to fool people into thinking that your fangame is not a fangame is a lost cause, I'm sorry. Hence why a pet peeve of mine has always been people complaining about how certain (actually good) fangames aren't "professional." There's nothing professional about taking somebody else's ideas and characters, people! ;P Besides, it's no fun working with self-imposed restrictions. Fangame or no, you have all the freedom in the world, so don't let anything tell you how it should be done. =)

Also this game looks pretty darn cool. But you already knew that.
