Darthan Wrote:No, no it is not. The game started to lose direction long before the 'rush' to make scenes. Let me give you an example that I have complained about many times before.
Lets see, please go on.
Darthan Wrote:You have said that you want to make this game in the classic SMB sidescroller fashion. Now I want to ask you, how many many Mario games have powerups that serve no other purpose other than to change his appearance? The answer is simple, none. As things sit right now probably about 90% of the costumes, note that I said costumes not powerups, serve absolutely no purpose than to change Peach's appearance. Before you start going on about how you want to use them in scenes or in puzzles I will say this. If you want to use them in scenes or in puzzles use them there, there is no need to make them powerups. Powerups are supposed to serve a purpose, not just be there because you want them.
They're incomplete. They're set apart, with a low priority. I never said it would be like this and its all done with them, did I?
As for powerups that change Peach appearance FOR PUZZLES/QUESTS/PLOTs, like the apron, those are to happen only with triggered actions, like when Zess T forces her to use it (these are not working yet, sorry). But they're in the list. I wont be saying 'the game is complete, wow, now I am gone' without coding those.
There will be other outfits with their own icon (like the apron and the classic dress) that just makes Peach change the current outfit, but for those special scenes only. So yes, they will serve for a given purpose.
There will be outfits that will be powerups, like Yoshi. I plan making her wear it, then she would have protection in her feet (like a boot) in order to walk past nipper plants and spikes. Also, male Yoshis will be horny to fuck her if they find her using it. They would 'run' (trot), like when Mario gets hit while riding him), but this time he would be going towards her to fuck her like crazy.
Another outfit being a powerup: hammerbros. Peach will be able to throw tons of hammers. They will be 'overkill' to enemies, but she would walk slower. Also she could protect herself when we press 'DOWN' (crouching), being a shell with hands/arms that forcers her to be inside of her shell.
Another outfit being a powerup: Nurse. She will be able to throw pills, which will give diverse effects to enemies: pop them, freeze them, make them horny, stun them (paralyze), and so on.
Yet another outfit being a powerup: penguin. Peach will be able to 'fire' iceballs. They will freeze enemies for a while. I dont know if you can pop them down by firing tons of iceballs, I havent played New Super Mario Bros yet.
Darthan Wrote:This is just an example of how the direction of the game has changed and is not going to change back. You want to add more customization but the way you are doing it is changing the direction of the game. I and many or the "team" members said this to you multiple times but you ignored us
Please stop right here! Outfits were one of the main things I wanted to add after forking from Blargh's version. This is in the conceptual MIM PUT. Thats not 'Ivan ignored us'. Forget that thought, ok?
Darthan Wrote:You never actually gave a reason for these to be in the game other than "I want to use it in a scene", which as I said in that case there is no reason to have it outside that scene, or "It's cute, I like it", and those are not really valid reasons when your whole team is disagreeing with you. When you do things like this you make people feel as if you aren't listening, even if that isn't your intention.
Again I disagree the 'whole team is disagreeing'. And those outfits are almost all inside Mario universe (except sling and swimsuit. Koopa Slave is not related to any Mario game but they're well documented in fanfictions and some hentai pictures). They're not custom outfits from non-mario games anyway. I am not doing like Blargh did, with 40+ outfits, thats not the intention. And I was going to add some customized ones (5+), JUST them, then I went back, maybe adding just one or two in the future (or maybe I gave up of that idea).
See, you are outdated, or you forgot the reasons, or you are rushing to your conclusions.
A given person can be sure I was not listening to him if:
1) I havent answered him yet (You made me to refer to him -> Gorepete. He hasn't answered me since months ago, and he promised to make a given scene for PUT. He said that he was busy but then he disappeared. I found him making a new game). I've sent a PM to him, he never answered it (neither in his thread). I can say he havent listened to me in this case.
2) A given person discussed with me about a couple of features, I promised to make many of them and I gave an end date, then I havent done any of them, or I just ignored it without explaning my situation.
3) A given person discussed with me about a couple of features to be removed, then I just said 'I want them because I want'. He decided to think about other areas of the game. I've kept saying 'I want becuse I want', without any more reasons.
None of these are true in our case.

I know. But well, I always try to see all people sides. And yes, adding scenes wont add bugs that impact the entire game (at least in 95% of cases) because the code is self contained in a given enemy. Its boundaries are limited to the way the enemy interacts.
I keep trying to see the 'unnecessary' features in PUT, and sorry, I cant find them. Because all of them can be special and expected according to the player's desires. It's up to him to select which ones he/she wants. Like I said in the former pages, adding the Belly added up to 20kbytes (I am not lying!) and it doesnt touch the game speed like 1fps. Maybe 0.1fps (if its activated).
Scenes are never enough, I agree with you.
And that content makes me enthusiastic, because I am doing what I was dreaming to do when I was Blargh's pupil, in his thread: make each enemy have his special scenes with Peach. Now with different Peach poses. We can see her butt. We can see her pussy. We can see her legs bent (like the Bumpty scene 2), while facing frontside to us and getting ashamed due to the penetration. We can have unimaginable poses, penetrations, and other feelings and moments. The scenes are much more modular since Blargh's era. I can change her expressions using a single command. I can cast sounds faster, using another single command. I can make her say different sounds (oh, no...help! , aaaaah) with a single command. I have code that controls the flux of the loops. And I can even move hands/objects from different places if her boobs are with a given size. We just need ideas now. Scene sketches (even ball and stick drawing works). If someone do that on a constant basis, I would make 1, sometimes 2 scenes per day (with quality). 1 picture worths 1000 words. 1 video (or 1 interactive game) worths 1000 pictures. 1 interactive game with tons of scenes worths 1000 interactive games.
(by the way, LOK has been with Gateway errors yesterday night).
