Description

You can discuss here about my SMAS SMB1-styled TheXTech asset, "Nostalgic Paradise".

NOTE: If such a feature is INCOMPATIBLE WITH vanilla (unforked) engine, they will be marked as * (Asterisk).

Stages

• 0.2: Grassland Prototype (Requires TheXTech stable 1.3.6 build)
• 0.3: Mushroom Prototype (After Lua Checkpoint; Start from this version, alpha release will be provided, and the Low-end device testing required; Team building will be required as well)
• ???: Flower Prototype (TBD)
• ???: Star Prototype (TBD)
• 1.0: 1st Stable Version, features all basic objects, with two fully-functional playstyles (Classic, Wonder)

Colours:

• Blue: Standard
• Red: Forever (VLE-compatible)
• Yellow: Palette
• Purple: Chocolate TheXTech Engine

Modes (Start from 0.3)

• Classic: Original game mode. Standard SMBX64 Gameplay, without special rules.
• Wonder: Modern game mode. Modern-styled gameplay. Score and standard timer systems are disabled. Collect Wonder Flower and an incredible event will occur.

Tiers:

• Standard: For general devices, includes Low-end. Uses SDL2 or OpenGL 1.1 for fallback testing. Only adding basic objects; Chaining BGP Layers up to 4M pixels (Up to 2048x6144).

My study plan got messed up, so I need to release pre-0.2 before continue...

[LoveBodhi]

Pre-0.2 was released at 6-13, the stable 0.2 needs TheXTech 1.3.6 stable build.

[LoveBodhi]

Exclusive Status Bar is required, but currently we don't have LUA script system...

[LoveBodhi]

Basic Ideas:

• Ghost Rope
• Snailcorn
• Skewer
• Angry Sun
• Burner
• 1-way Walls
• Bumpers
• Line-guided Lava Lift
• Clown Car (with fire variation)
• Ship Cannon
• Bull's eye Bill
• 10/30/50 Coin
• Snake Block (Block Train)
• On-Off Block
• Switchable Spike Trap Block (SM3DW)
• Clear Pipe
• Extended Conveyor Belt
• Blink Block
• Sumo Bro
• Big Bertha
• Splunkin
• Skeeter
• Spike Trap Block
• Barrel
• Monty Mole
• 4-way Munchers
• On-off Conveyor Belts
• Seesaw
• Grrrol
• Meowser (NPC-86)
• Wonder Stuffs

Extended Ideas:

• All variation of Piranha Plants (Bone, Red, Fire, etc., includes big one)

[LoveBodhi]

These ideas are now outdated; The goal is complete basic SMM1/2 Objects and Wonder System.

[LoveBodhi]

According #472 , we might be able to create new objects in the future.

[LoveBodhi]

Gonna add some Alternate Palettes (from Lospec)

[LoveBodhi]

From 0.3, Demo Episode will be re-made from scratch; Tileset might will be changed, too.

[LoveBodhi]

Note 2: Some of Engine General Localization are changed, such as Decoration (BGO), BGP (Background Picture).
The Editor is now called "Nostalgic Studio".

[LoveBodhi]

Ver 0.3 will add some Wonder stuffs (for Standard and Deluxe version) as well.

[LoveBodhi]

We are planning to make Wonder Effects (WFX in short) at Section 2n-1 by default.

[LoveBodhi]

I will start to make basic Wonder template soon.

[LoveBodhi]

Wonder Mode will be intergrated with all versions (Standard and Deluxe).

Notes:

• Default Mode will be Classic, but user can play Wonder Mode by special method (TBA, maybe config switch or LUA base? or Riivolution-like options?)
• All odd number (aka 2n+1) of sections are WFX (0-based), so these might be unused in Classic Mode. We should just use single section instead.
• In Wonder Mode, Timer and Score are disabled. effect-79 will be Wonder-style combo.
• Wonder Flowers and Purple Coins won't be available in Classic Mode.

[LoveBodhi]

Seems Riivolution-like options are related to #291 and #40 (Defunct: Now in-game asset pack selection is implemented).

[LoveBodhi]

Wonder FX Setup has been done by me and SkullGamer205 (with LunaScript Autocode), so we just need wait to LUA script system. #472

[LoveBodhi]

Two new characters will be Daisy (黛西公主) and Toadette (奇诺比珂)

[LoveBodhi]

Physics will be different between modes, if possible

(See #636)

[LoveBodhi]

All feature-hypotheses are now marked with "Slash".

[LoveBodhi]

NOTE: The shader support for standard version of Nostalgic Paradise will only be "Shader-hybrid" objects. All shader-exclusive features will go to Deluxe Version instead.

[LoveBodhi]

#734 I wonder how do I set custom playstyles in the future... (For example: non-SMBX64 Status Bar)

[LoveBodhi]

Some notable differences of "Wonder" Playstyle (Hybrid logic instead of Strict SMBX64 Classic) will be:

• Aquatic Enemies stompable in the water
• Extra life triggers after 8 combo instead of 9
• Split into two NPC-1's after stomp NPC-71
• Initial Player State (by User Data)
• Disable Score System
• Wonder-style "Game Over" system
• Different Player Physics
• And more...

[LoveBodhi]

NEW 0.2.4a: Now made for TheXTech Stable 1.3.6.5.

[LoveBodhi]

Maybe playstyle should be mode-varied (e.g. "Wonder" playstyle for mode 1, "Classic" for mode 2)?
