New Super Mario RPG

New Super Mario RPG

‘Oh noes, not another fan game!’

Just to be clear: English is not my first language, so there might be several mistakes in this presentation.

This is a first try for the title screen. It’s nothing final…

Introduction:

I’ve seen some Mario Rpg ‘fan games’ on the internet but nothing meaningful to me. As a huge fan myself, I’ve decided to create a new SMRPG. Just like New Super Mario Bros, I wanted to bring a new taste to it. Here’s a few screenshots to clarify my idea:

The cbs under construction

How this is made:

First of all, I ripped lots of textures from super Mario galaxy and sunshine. With some patience and 3D skills (in blender 3D), I can render charset automatically. I use 8x9 charset, and I use the pixelmovement script made by f0tz! The animations are really smooth and look great (in my opinion).

Why rmxp when it’s from 3D:

Because I don’t want program a 3D game. I know well rmxp, and it’s enough for what I want.

The plot:

(This is a basic story just like most of the Mario’s game)
Princess peach sends an invitation to Luigi and Mario for the shooting star festival. But the stars falling from the sky are black. Normal star makes pure heart wishes to come true, but black stars do the opposite. They bring the darkest wishes to come true. Seven of those stars fall on the world. One of them goes to Bowser, which becomes really powerful and captures the princess. Mario try’s to stop him, but he’s way too weak. By using a super spell Bowser try’s to give the final blow to Mario, but Luigi jump in front of is moustached brother. And he find himself transform into a Boo. Scared by is new shape, Luigi escape run away.
In his coma, Mario meets Rosalina. She explains to Mario that he must find the seven black stars to purify them.
A little bit later, the moustached plumber wakes up in the ruins on the Peach castle. By talking with the Toads, Mario realizes that there’s a lot of work to do. A little Toad tells him that he saw Boo Luigi running into the forest. And the game starts here!

The team:

Mario
Boo Luigi
Baby Bowser
Rosalina
Yoshi

The World:
The stars will be placed in seven different locations
- Goombas Forest
- Dry Dry Desert
- Yoshis Jungle
- Frosty Mountains
- Hot Volcano
- In the ocean
- Star haven

I'm looking for people!
- First someone who can help me in english :biggrin:
- Any good scripter would be really helpful
- Mappers ( mapping from 3D render can be really annoying )
- People for the scenario, game concept... etc
- Music...
- Any other kind of retarded fan like me...

Please understand: this a new project there's much much more to be done. And I know it.

As someone who's a fan of the Mario RPG's, I gotta say, this looks pretty cool! The rendered characters look very crisp and well done.

Good luck on trying to make the 3D work in RMXP, though. I guess if that's a program you're familiar with then it shouldn't be too much of a problem, but I can't imagine how annoying it would be trying to get the 3D to work well. :crazy:

What kind of plans do you have for your battle system? The battle screenshot looks nice but some context would be helpful.

Did you actually remix those songs yourself? They sound quite good. If you want some advice on your music, why not try making a thread in the music forum?

I wish I could say a bit more but all in all this looks like a really solid project. I'm looking forward to seeing more :biggrin:

 

[silver wind]

Looking very good. I wish you good luck with this :D

Well, when I first saw this title I was like "Oh great, another fan game... It's probably some crappy 2D wanna-be mario game." But as I started scrolling down the page, I was extremely surprised. It's hard to believe this in RMXP, this looks great. Best of luck .

 

[OrbitDuke]

:grin:
I want to play this.

 

[Pokémaniac]

This looks very nice! I can't wait to see this in action!

 

[Jason]

Holy chalupa!

You've put quite the effort into this and it's looking great!

It looks great, and to be honest, I'd love to play it...

 

[9robin3]

Unbeleviable How can anyone really make this in RMXP? Well done, mr!

 

[RadethDart]

All I can say is...wow!!! I love the design and your 3D design is outstanding!!! The only way I can tell it is RMXP is from the title...that is it though! Nice work!

You sir. Are my new best friend. Don't you dare give up on this project, this one is a gem. I love SMRPG, and anyone who makes a fan game of it is a 1-up in my book :box: I love the graphics, they all look really good. I just hope you'll be able to add Geno and Mallow, they're very important to the story ya know. Of course you might not be able to add them, seeing as how and where you get those 3D graphics.

Thanks for the comments, it's always great to receive positive feedback!

Did you actually remix those songs yourself? They sound quite good.

Yup, I remixed those songs! Glad you like them.

I'm currently working on geno :P, don't speak too fast ^^.


Remember! I'm recruiting folks!

Those screenshots look like they're from a new DS mario game coming out. Very professional looking, I'll be keeping my eye on this one.

 

[R.J.]

From what I can see, this looks better then what the DS is capable of.

 

[RadethDart]

Well, if you are looking for someone to map for you, I could give it a shot. :D That is if you want to send me the project files for it and I can try at my first map. :D If I can't do it, then I will just give them back, but I think that it would be very fun to experience new map designs! Just send me a pm and we can work something out!

I don't like the choices for the main party, but who cares! This looks awesome! Can't wait to see video of it in action.

 

[vince0vince]

Yeah, I might change the party, nothing is really fixed at the moment. I'm spending most of my energy on the battle system, and on rendering graphics. There's a lot to do :wink: .

 

[udivision]

The battle system looks like it's based off the original Mario RPG. Does that mean timed hits? Or is it too early to say.

 

[vince0vince]

Timed hits, timed defense, timed special. 100% sure.
Fully animated 3D icons, fluid animations, similar battle menu etc...
Remixed songs.
You'll have the same fealing but with a slight touch of new.

 

[udivision]

Geeze man, I've only seen some screenshots and I can already say you'll have one of (if not the best) Mario fan RPG's if you finish this ambitious project.
