Super Mario Destiny

[TheNightingale]

This is awesome. Hope to see this finished in the future. If I get a better computer to run beta 4 before it's finished I think I may help you a bit. Good luck!

Oh... I'll be at this a good long while.

Any way that you'd like to contribute, be it coding, throwing out ideas for level themes, or just the occasional custom gfx. Its all welcome.

Yoshi with propeller backpacks don't just draw themselves.

I was actually thinking about being a beta tester when I get a decent device. I'm not experienced at coding or making graphics

Progress continues steadily! Now well into "Region 2"!

Help is still being sought in all phases of development, for any and all levels of involvement.

We've got some very unique gameplay, and unique pre-rendered graphics that will make this a one of a kind adventure! Please let us know if you'd like to be part of it or a beta-tester.

It's not too late to join this ambitious project and design something amazing!

Super Mario Destiny is now 18 levels in with another 50+ to go. There's room to add your own style, creativity and even entire levels to this project, help is needed in all aspects.

New Update!

Region 2 is speeding towards its conclusion...here's a peak at Level 19 "Above the World".

Having braved the haunted deeps of the Perilous Mountains, Luigi finds himself tasked with a quest to free the spirits of the ancient Avilon from their icy prison. As he climbs further up into the unforgiving reaches of the mountain pass, he is not alone, shadowed by a being who will stop at nothing to ensure the ghosts of the past, remain the past...

"When you're above the world
Everything is smaller
The earth far below your feet
And the shadows growing taller
Where memories of the sun
Vanish into night
And nothing warm can stay
When you're above the world
How everything seems right"

Level playtesting is greatly needed!

New updates!

Sep 1, 2022

-----------------------

Wow, what a long, strange year it's been...

1) A lot has happened since I checked in with the last progress update. First, the big one, our dear friend and talented artist, dear Sebastian has passed. No less than the heart and soul of this project, the inspiration behind Super Mario Destiny. This creation is dedicated to the memory of our beloved "Toadanna" and I am proud that Sebastian's beautiful artwork will live on and be appreciated by so many.

We will forge ahead, so that our team can bring to everyone the story we began together...

2) The level plans for the entire episode are in place, so that we can bring you a cohesive and sensible story! I can't wait for you all to get to experience Luigi's epic tale!

3) New talent is coming on board to help with the music and tecchy side of things!

4) A number of new levels have been put in the can since last spring, so many that the original plan for the first two worlds, "Lands of Legend" and Perilous Pass...has now been split into three, with the addition of "Harrowing Harbor"!

5) AND on that note, the entire episode itself will be split into "Acts 1, 2 and 3!" All acts will be released simultaneously, to avoid fan concerns about diving into an incomplete game. This will allow download of more manageable file sizes, and also introduce an "alternate endings" design, providing specially curated versions of Act 3 that are based upon the player's choices throughout the game (more on that later).

With close to thirty levels now mostly finished, we're looking ahead to release a beta of Act 1 in the near future! Stay up to date here or on our discord Super Mario Destinyhttps://discord.com/channels/7048839483 ... 6096368650

Is the thorn in your mind
Sleep well the sleep of the just
Bramblin dreams for you at dusk"

The time has come! Super Mario Destiny: Part One! has been in development since 2020 and it is BETA RELEASE READY!

Over 40 levels
Epic adventure with a complex, evolving storyline
Cast of new friends and playable characters
Unique, experimental gameplay features

I have waited until I had a real, playable product before reaching out to ask for help in completing a fairly small list of custom graphics I have a wishlist for.

I am interested in including your artwork, providing you game credit as a member of the development team, and even providing greater opportunity for you to showcase more involved work, such as storyboards for cut-scene use, if you really want to help me to bring a unique style to this episode. I have needs for:

- Character dialogue portraits (4-6 of Luigi, 3-5 each of a few custom characters) - HIGH PRIORITY
- 4 simple storyboards (sketches, watercolor, all ok)
- Custom sprite set for Part 2

SMD features fully custom graphics including lush background visuals, use of pre-rendered style scenes and terrain, and experimental gameplay that pushes the envelope of SMBX2 to create something stylistically unique. My intent is to make the game highly visible and accessible to SMBX as well as casual gameplayers alike, and I do expect that your art is going to get seen and appreciated.

Whatever you would care to contribute -- a few items of your existing artwork for portrait stills, or go to town creating something custom, I have room for all levels of contribution.
