SMBX 2.0 Open Beta

[underFlo]

I can't believe there's a starman now!

[Mable]

Yeah, it does fit the bill with the Playable Yoshi.. i mean for a simple costume it looks more advance tho.

Horikawa, when this Beta is released, will you post the link in this topic? Or the link will be in the SMBX 2.0 topic?

This is the SMBX 2.0 topic? Also Horikawa is uploading the file to her own website I'm pretty sure as well, but I'm guessing the link to that will be here

Also,

Will the link to the SMBX 2.0 also appear on the home page now instead of 1.3.0.1? It would be great if a new description and maybe a few new screenshots could be added too

New wario looks hella legit actually with the lakitu flying in and everything. I'm not totally sold on the walk cycle, but the charging looks pretty good. T is definitely a major improvement.
I was pretty confused with Yoshi, but it makes a lot more sense now that I know it's a klonoa costume. The one thing that really threw me off was the throwing sound effect, but I'm guessing that can be changed with lua.

[Julia Pseudo]

Does Wario's shoulder charge actually kill enemies, by the way, or is it just a running animation?

[bossedit8]

Oh my, a workable Frogsuit and the Starman including particles! That's truly amazing!!!

[Shadow Yoshi]

Yes, 2.0 will be added to the site once it's out of beta.

[KittyCat]

Yes, 2.0 will be added to the site once it's out of beta.

So, what's even different to the original SMBX?

[Julia Pseudo]

^
A whole lot of things, primarily full PGE integration along with new NPCs and a whole bunch of new playable characters.

Hm...only if the Samus level only made sense...

It's not out of beta yet. I assume Joey will update when we're fully out of beta. Beta 3 is going to get us a lot closer, but we have a decent amount more to do to full release. I at least want to wait until we add a bunch more NPCs and do some more work on a couple of the player characters. Particularly moving their projectiles into new NPCs.

If you are making the payables' projectiles replace new NPCs, would that mean Seamus's beams could be customizable such as:

Ice
Wave
Ice + Wave
Ice + Wave + Plasma + Spazer
Plasma + Wave
Plasma
Spazer
Ice + Wave + Spazer
Spazer + Wave
Ice + Spazer
Plasma + Spazer
Ice + Plasma + Spazer
Wave + Plasma + Ice

I hope I listed everything. Either way, I was referring to how you can toggle beams on and off like you can with the Varia Suit, Gravity Suit, Speed Booster (and the ability to Shine Spark as a result), High Jump Boots, Space Jump, and Screw Attack.

(Do not remember if you can turn off the ability for morph ball, morph ball bombs, or power bombs though)

Either way, I can not wait to see how Beta 3 will work when it is out. (However, I do not remember beta 2 ever being released.) Keep up the good work!

∑_(r=1)^4 (4!/r!(4-r)!)
Which is 15
you listed 13
so you must have missed 2, My Man. Back to the basics with Donkey Kong Jr. Math.

Honestly all those combinations sound pretty complicated. I don't think that's what Mario is all about.

Okay, I missed two, I was trying to list everything I can remember. My cats woke me up right before I made that post. I am still waking up. Also, that formula, or should a say; summation equation was thought in Algebra II in 10th grade and I had to skip a year of math to get it that early. (Take geometry the same year). I would not call that "basic math", but yeah, you are right.

Edit: As for the combinations, I was referring to just Samus since she is in 2.0

I understand, but this is a Mario game, and in all seriousness having 15 different powerup combinations just doesn't seem to fit the style of the game. Wouldn't some of those combinations be counterintuitive? If ice is supposed to freeze the enemy, and Plasma is supposed to kill the enemy, what happens when you combine them?

[Egg]

The powerups should be kept simple and straightforward imo, mixing them is not really what mario is about.

[Darkonius Mavakar]

Can't wait for this to get out of the beta state!

I remember there were enemies that the Plasma Beam Could not kill in one hit.

I don't really see what this has to do with what I said
