Update: Early June

Okay, since summer's been going on I've been getting more work done than in school. It's not as much as I could, but a good amount. The Main Story programming is getting close to the end, but there's some stuff we plan to do in terms of side quests after we finish the main story. (Secret Bosses, Weapons, Dark Bowser, etc.) I don't want to jump the gun but we should be looking at a July-August release. Again, the date is not yet known.

I can't give away the story at the end of the game, but you've already obtained all 7 Sages and now some final stuff is happening. There's a twist at the end, but it's not huge. That's what's I'm working on right now. There area also some cool bosses we're doing as well that try to make full use of RPG Maker's capabilities. For the bosses we use that appear in other Mario rpg games we've done research (on youtube) to make the battle similar.

One final point, our game is a mash-up of the Mario universe. It has characters and villains from all over so there is no direct story line. It's not a sequel to the Mario & Luigi series nor a sequel to Paper Mario or anything like that. This is a heads up so you don't try to place it as directly linked to a real Mario rpg game. I kind of enjoy the mash-up style more in this case than doing a direct sequel. If you have comments, comment.

The Final Stretch, Hopefully

I haven't been able to focus on Mario for this past week and a half because of exams, but now they're finally over for me!

This means that we'll be working extra hard on Mario now with little distraction and should have it released from Mid-Late Summer! I still do not have an exact date yet though. Comment and question if you want to.

Shroom Stuff 5: Dark Bowser

Following up on the other post, here comes Shroom Stuff 5. This will be the last Shroom Stuff so you'll just have to wait for the release of the game this summer to quench your needs.

This video just shows some skill moves of the special suit. The suit will not be part of the main story, you will have to obtain it through side quests and stuff. Most of the suits are like that anyway. Not much else to say, so enjoy!

More Update Stuff; Bowser

This is just another progress update as Mario comes along. First order of business, Bowser's special class uses the sprites from a boss from Mario & Luigi RPG 3!! This class will be a secret and be very powerful. It's one of those rewards for those who go the extra mile. Once all his moves are finished there will most likely be another installment of Shroom Stuff to show him off. It should be fairly impressive.



In terms of progress, the main story is nearing the end of the 6th sage, but there is still a good amount of side things we are still adding. Percentage wise, I would say that we are about at 75% of the game being complete. You should still expect it during this summer.

Mario and Zelda 1000+ Downloads!

The title sums it up. The Legend of Zelda: Courage, Power, and Wisdom currently has 1062 downloads, while Super Mario RPG: Seven Sages DEMO currently has 985 downloads, close enough to 1000. The latter is more impressive because it' had less time to get to this number so the download rate is higher. A sign of good things to come when the full game comes out I suppose. Because of this good news, tonight we celebrate.

C-Division,

Shroom Stuff Video Four.

In this video you see the Mine Cart minigame. It takes place during the main story and is pretty simple and stright foward. You have to dodge the rocks and get the mushrooms. Look at the video for further details.

Shroom Stuff 3: Surfing Bros

C-Division,

Shroom Stuff Video Three.

In this video we show off the surfing mini-game. It takes place during the main story line and you collect mushrooms for a higher score. We will most likely still add stuff so this isn't the final project.

Tell us what you think.
