Thanksgiving Over

So since Thanksgiving was last week, I didn't get much work done, but now it's over and I can refocus my time on rpg making. Mario is still coming along very well and making good progress. If there are any questions, feel free to ask.

Mario RPG:SS's Incredible Progress

U Division here.

Mario's coming along really well right now. The demo showed off the first "Adventure," but now we are in the middle of Adventure 4 (aka, the third Sage) story wise. The game slows down and developes after the first Sage, so the game is easily 6 times as long if you already know what to do. It'll be even longer for first timers and if you stop for side-quests. But we haven't only been progressing the main plotline, we've added and reworked other features as well.


Updated/New Game Features:

• Power Suits- Like in the Mario Platformers, equipping these gives your characters a new special skill only usable by that suit. There are 8 suits for each character, with 2 being unique to that specific person. Each suit has at least two extra special skills.
  
• Pentagles (Star Pieces)- This mysteriously growing fragments can be found throughout the world. Use them to unlock Extra features.
• Interactive Maps/Puzzles- Hammer, Jumping, and upgrades to both will be essential to some of the puzzle solving in the game.

Updated/New Game Elements:

• Public Transportation- Throughout Mario's quest, he'll board the flying Voom Shroom, the Cactus Kingdom Ferry, traverse the Intercontinetal Pipe System, a trans-desert Wiggler Bus, and more!
• Mini-Games- Super Mario Bros. EX, Super Mario's Pipe Panic, Yoshi's Eggventure, the Yoshi Races, Yahoo Surfing, and more to come!
  

New Mario Video!!

Fresh off of my computer and onto Youtube, we just made a Scene Preview video for Mario. This is basically showing some scenes that mostly weren't in the demo. Enjoy!

Mario: Seven Sages new Battle Video

In anticipation of the upcoming demo, U-Division has just made an updated video of the basic battle system. There are still some elements to it not expressed in the video. We can't give everything away can we?

Notes:

-Powerups such as the critical hit (As seen in the video) happen randomly during the heat of battle very similarly to Mario RPG for the Super Nintendo.

-This video shows the first glimpse of Bowser in action. Most of the attacking sprites are custom-made courtesy of U-Division.

-The characters are done with battle animations, not charsets for smoother animation. This question has been asked a lot.


If you have any questions, please comment.

Production Rate

Haven't posted in a little bit, but I've actually been doing some work in this break. With the Mario game being handed over to me, I've mostly worked on that an not much else, like krash. But according to the poll, that's what everyone seems to care about and for good reason. There should be a video for mario out soon depending on when u-division feels like making it so have that to look foward to. A demo could also be in the making...
