Your not an idiot. Haha.
Its just that SMB3 doesn't have Wario or Waluigi... Maybe your thinking of another Mario game?

Posted on 06-28-05 09:52 AM, in Game Designers: Information Needed Link
Recently I discovered that my summer school teacher was friends with a guy who had helped design games such as Metal Gear and Dance Dance Revolution. I am assuming she meant that he was on the design team for these games, which brought me to several questions about these 'game designers.'

I am wondering if these guys do any real programming. I mean, I think it'd be a really fun job if you could just think up games without having to strain your brain with programming the whole thing. I know how strainous programming is, so designing might be a good job if there is no programming.

Another little red flag popped up in my head. Do these guys get paid good amounts? If I were one day to design a game for a big company like Nintendo or Microsoft, would I get paid enough to support myself and possibly family? Could I buy a big mansion in some remote beach in California? I am assuming they get paid enough to live.

One other thing I was curious about is how much imput do these guys actually have in the game and what do they mostly do? I am assuming there is a lot of planning involved for the game, and designing of levels, and maybe even enemies.

Please help me clear up my views about these game designers. I realize my ideas about this career may be naive, but I would be happy to get some clarification from you guys.

Thanks for the clarification you guys. I guess I never thought about the amount of detailed planning involved... Haha. I just had some thoughts left over from childhood about sketching little Marios and Goombas on a piece of paper and selling it to Nintendo for a million dollars.

I think that game designing could possibly be a career I could find worth looking into. I better get cracking now and actually learn some decent programming lanuages.

Happy birthday! You will almost be able to drive without a licensed adult in the vehicle! Then comes the beer after that! Then at 32 you'll be caught drinking and driving without a licensed adult in the vehicle!

I have a bath/shower thingy. I really don't like it. I think showers and baths should be seperate so they can focus on comfort for each one.

I think its purdey neato. Consider changing the blue-banner to something that fits in the green-black color scheme. But all in all, way better than my first layout! (Lets just say some people lost their sense of seeing...)

Maybe convince him that you ARE a gangster. Start talking like one and grab the area inbetween your legs when you walk. When people call me stuff like 'gangster' or 'wigga,' I just play along with them.

Don't drive around with too many registered adults, because when you get your license they'll make you pay by having them drive their children and blind mothers around.
I have yet to experience this, too.

Posted on 07-10-05 03:53 AM, in Hopefully not done too recently... Which "new" portable/s do you own? Link
I bought my DS and I use a PSP thats technically not mine... But whatever. I think you really need them both to have the full experience. The PSP is awsome for great graphics and console-esque games (like GTA). DS is cool for originality and simulation (like Nintendogs).

I have it. I couldn't ever really get into the Sonic games. I was always a Nintendo guy back in Sonic's glory days, and seeing a Collection disk of all those old games on the GameCube is kinda weird. I did like the Sonic Adventure 2 remake, though.

Posted on 07-12-05 04:07 AM, in What is the one thing you hate when going to the movies? Link
I hate the fact that tickets for two cost around $20 bucks.
Then by the time you go around the food thing, you end up spending $20 more bucks... By that time your hoping to God that this movie is worth $40 bucks.

I also hate running out of soda.

I guess the kinda shows like Reno 911 aren't meant to have a constant storyline. Its just meant to be funny.

Posted on 07-12-05 04:19 AM, in did anyone try to use Game Maker to make Mario games? Link
Navigate to this link:
http://www.cs.uu.nl/people/markov/gmaker/tutorials/platform.zip

That is a .ZIP containing Game Maker examples and documents on how to make a sidescrolling game.

Remember to start with the basic engine and worry about 'Mario-izing' it with sprites and scenery later! A good sidescroller is nothing if the gravity stinks!

Yeah, man. The best alternative to sprite sheets I can think of is Game Maker. It has great support for importing graphics.

Oh weird. I just linked to the file. Anyways, to get the link go to the Game Maker homepage and go to 'Tutorials.' A side scrolling thing will be there.
