Recently, Nintend0 (who earned more than $4bi this year and still makes great games we love and buy) still gets 'angry' (I think it's an exaggeration) because of demo A, small game B, shitty game C, funny incomplete game D and many other Mario parody games getting loved and played, even being freeware games and with indie devs using unicque art. Now, one of PUT sites (github) was suspended. Actually that site hosted the dialogue code (to French for example), and It had a small couple of stable versions of the game (in SWF format). We know we can't avoid tons of artists and devs wanting to just make small parody games of characters they love (this is freedom, right?) And, nowadays, thousands and thousands of Peach, Mario, Pokemon, Sonic and other pictures are being commissioned, as they're still art of something people would love (a themed charater). Anyway... I really wanted PUT to be an 'accepted' game in its current niche, not an 'illegal' one just because this and that character resembles the original, the usage of same names or unicque midi music of someone playing a Mario level rendered to mp3, for example. We live in times were corporations earn a lot of money streaming videos of high quality, and selling real physical cartridges and media to consoles, as well as paid subscriptions. Adults (and elder people) are playing games and reading Marvel comics, the same that might be playing parody games as a COMPLEMENT of original games they already bought.

So, I, Blargh and other anon developers are getting in touch about returning to LOK, reddit and other sites in order to check the next steps and perhaps forget it (let it die slowly in the web in case the sources are lost, the creators die or else). Or re-skin the game, making it more 'fair use'. The thing is, PUT was born from Playshapes since his early works in 2010 as a TRANSFORMATIVE WORK (by the law of fair use) just to flourish our fantasies about what certain games would have. A thing that could actually never leave a house of friends (in this case, those would be happy and no corporations would be bugging them). Something 'cult'. Anyway, completing this game or not, I am preparing myself another game in Unity who will be like PUT but with unicque characters. It will be a big leap just like I did between Flash AS2 and AS3.

I (who am JUST an indie small programmer, as tons of others in the globe) don't care if this game gets 'prohibited', as I can keep dreaming about it (our brains are free, lawless, anyway). Actually games like that are more of a real reproduction of that we imagine or dream, alone in our homes, than else. But I want creations like those games to live and to be enjoyed, not to 'let corporations angry'. We are not 'bad people', we are good ones that were a child in the past and played tons of games. This game only wants to say: 'hey, its possible to make a huge game which is free, playable and it can entertain us without affecting other market share', 'hey, look at this, a game who is REALLY a game, not a small 5-minute demo', 'hey, look, if you have dreams, we can implement it, even if it's only for us to play, or just to make internet a bit happier'. That's it. Thank you, and if someone has ideas on how to make this game 'more accepted' (let's say Nintend0 could allow it If I do something), I would do it. Just contact me (personal message in LOK), or answer this thread (EDIT: I am checking the transformative work and fair use). Now, if corporations just keep DMCA'ing everything that could be actually good for them, like attracting adults to play its games, just like I did when I've bought Super Mario RPG for an old SNES, I really don't know what to do but to ask whether we really have any freedom to fantasize about a given character we loved.

PLEASE SEARCH FOR YOUR 'MiMPUTSAVE2.SOL' SAVE FILE (flash cache DIR) and overwrite the newer one with the older. If problems persist, please download and use the game locally (not through web-browser) and have the downloaded flash game have the same name every time. I recommend a STANDALONE flash player (projector version), AND DONT CHANGE THE PUT.SWF name, neither the folder its in! Then, after saving the game, you can make a copy of MiMPUTSAVE2.SOL file in case it's erased later due to CACHING or programs like CCLEANER. In Windows Vista/7/8, type in the explorer bar: %appdata%\macromedia\ . Or go to C:\Users and try to find them. Or go to C:\Documents and Settings. Then you have to find a MiMPUTSAVE2.SOL file inside the folders. You can save it after playing the game, and if it gets erased, you can go there again, check the new file name, and overwrite the NEWER one with the OLDER one. It should work. Also remember that if you play from this site (LOK), it assigns random names to the save file and the folder that it sits in. It's in an obscure spot. So the save file will not be MiMPUTSAVE2.SOL. It will be a random name, though it will be a .sol file. You can still retrieve that savefile later. In Chrome for windows, it should be in that folder structure in your Documents and Settings or User folder: 'google/Chrome\User Data\Default\Pepper Data\Shockwave Flash\WritableRoot\#SharedObjects'. Blame Flash, not me. Sorry again.

CLEAN YOUR CACHE!
1) open the game.
2) go to the starting screen (the animated title)
3) right click -> settings -> put the slider at 0 and click CLOSE.
4) exit the game
5) play it again
6) go to the starting screen again. It will ask to use the new cache. Click OK, YES, or ALLOW.
7) It the message doesnt show up, right click -> settings -> put the slider at 100k or more and click CLOSE.
8) play it normally.

THE BUG PERSISTS? Please give detailed information, activating the DEBUG MODE ON (Page Down Key), then taking screenshots that you can do in your screen (ALT+PRINT SCREEN key will only save the ACTIVE WINDOW, not the entire screen), then you can upload here. If the problem is with a certain area, like her arm, put an arrow there, if possible. Then register those info HERE! You can also inform me posting in this thread. Thank you! I'm a programmer, no magician Saying 'Peach became red jumping in a given brown block next to a big mushroom in level1' means nothing. I can still try to find the bug, though, but it might be a lot longer to fix. For a more detailed information for the ISSUES link above, please FILL UP the questionaire:
Q: Which operating system?
Q: Which browser were you using? Or if you are using the standalong Flash Player, which version?
Q: Is your Flash Player fully updated?
Q: Have you deleted your Flash cache (right button, options and GLOBAL options) recently? If the problem continues, have you cleaned your entire BROWSER cache?
Q: Which Keyboard setup were you using? (1, 2, 3, 4, QWERTY or AZERTY?)
Q: Which power-up were you using?
Q: Did Peach die, did you load a saved game, or start a new one?
Q: Did you beat a level prior to the one the bug happened on?
Q: Explain what happened, as detailed as possible, with screenshots while DEBUG mode is on (Page Down key) if possible.
Q: Can you reproduce the bug yourself?
