Should or shouldn't thread....

Should Mario be able to walk through the bushes??

Should the icons in the iconbar be in color when moused-over??

Should everything have a comment when looked at or talked to?? (such as clouds, bushes, grass, sky?)

Should I continue making this Mario-based Adventure game?

B: it wont change the game play
C: Mario isn't much of a talker
D: sure

1.Some but not all
2.Yes
3.No, there isn't really any need to tell you what the clouds look like when you can see them already.
4.Yes

hahaha lovely icons. It would be nice to colour them on mouse over. Everything should have a comment! But perhaps the sky should not take up so much space on the screen. Great idea to make a mario adventure game. There has been a mario game for most other genres (except maybe strategy). About the bushes...well...it would depend on the relevance during the game. Maybe one puzzle could have a secret passage through a bush. Otherwise just make the walkable area around it, and make it a walkbehind.

You should have Mario say stuff like "I'm Mario!" when he looks at stuff, because that's really the only stuff he's ever said in the games. I love the idea of a Mario adventure game and I love your username (I have a secret Jigglypuff toy collection). Definately keep working on this. Babar's idea of a secret walk-through bush for a puzzle is a great idea, too. Not all of the bushes should be walkthrough-able. And yes, colored mouseover icons.

Surely, it should be, "It'sa me, Mario!"

You're secret's safe with the hundreds of people who browse the forums.... it just won't be a secret anymore, but what the heck, hey?

"Should Mario be able to walk through the bushes??" Like, north-south? That'd look real bad unless you backed it up with some sort of animation, so be careful.

Should the icons in the iconbar be in color when moused-over?? Yea, make it livelier!

Should everything have a comment when looked at or talked to?? (such as clouds, bushes, grass, sky?) I LOVE it when that happens, so I say yes - but keep most comments obtuse, indeed, as has been suggested.

Should I continue making this Mario-based Adventure game? No.

Joking! Come one, you don't really expect anyone to answer no, do you? Go on ahead, and let us all know when it's over!

Hehe I made him say that when you look at him.....

I finished w/ the colored mouse-over icons, it really looks nice!  And I made it so you can't walk through the bush, it was too instant... redruM was right, if I made an animation for it, it would look fine, but otherwise....thpppt

Well, in case you want to reconsider, going into the bushes could be something that's possible only after having a certain powerup (like, the "Tanooki" (sp?) suit from Mario 3, for example. As for an animation, if the bushes were objects, an easy animation would just be for them to sort of shudder (along with a rustling noise) as you pass through them. There could be the possibility of hidden items inside them, or even secert passages.

Just some things to think about.

Yeah I started thinking more about the bushes, and having then rustle when you walk through them wouldn't be half bad....  However I've been trying to make my apples animated, but can't find where to set a view to an object  :'(  So I don't think I could consider making the bushes passable at this time.....

btw, I'm thinking about releasing a demo, how much of the game(storywise or not) do ppl prefer is developed in any demo?
