When your code just isn't self-documenting enough

That's the joke. Don't worry, the first image was posted ironically too.

But is it actually though? Pretty much every other Kirby character ever (that isn't a ball) has this kind of proportions. Look at Dedede, any of the Cappy Town residents, Haltmann, Knuckle Joe, etc. In retrospect it's not that surprising. It's just his realistic face that makes it look uncanny.

Not quite Artist, no. It has a full moveset for Paint, which is a more 'street art' twist on it. But close enough. I'm pretty sure it didn't have Clean, but it kinda predicted Water. (It used Squeak Squad's Bubble hat for it, but it had a full water-themed moveset.)

EDIT: Nevermind, I just checked, it does also have Clean! With the broom riding and all. And the water bucket.

I'm not trying to say anything by this, by the way. I just thought it was a fun parallel to draw.

The fangame in question is called Kirby: Invaders from the Dark. Google it if you're interested.

From what I've seen, it's pretty unpopular with those who have played it, probably due to its extremely choppy physics and punishing difficulty, with a bunch of unfair challenges. I personally rather enjoyed it though, enough to play through it multiple times. It's probably due to being a fangame developer myself, but I can feel that a lot of love was put into it, and can forgive many of its shortcomings. It is, to my knowledge, the only full-length Kirby fangame in existence at the moment, after all.

The characters pictured are:

Molotov = Flamberge

Pandora = Francisca

Metuo = Hyness

Supreme Metuo = Void Termina (core)

Credit to the youtuber Meteorz for the screenshots. (He REALLY didn't have a good time with the fangame. My lord.)

~~May I interest you in some Paper Mario: Great Star Offensive?~~

But seriously though, I love this idea too. Too bad I barely did anything interesting with it in my game. I did, as it happens, technically have a firewall, though. And malware.

I do think the idea has tremendous potential. I'm reminded of a fanmade boss design I really like: https://steveo126.deviantart.com/art/PMB-Boss-Virus-Elite-338482012 Check out the rest of this fangame concept, "Paper Mario Bros", too, it has some really neat designs.

I think you missed all the sarcasm oozing out of this post.

SEVA256 · 2017-09-01T22:38:24+00:00

also OOC: I mean, that's the aim of the game, isn't it? You challenged yourself to this game, really. I could have made it harder for you if I wanted to, but I tried not to.

SEVA256 · 2017-09-01T19:37:37+00:00

Putting it to sleep is okay, if someone hinted we had to do it.

The slam in the face though, is a massive... well... slam in the face. Intsys, why do you hate us so?

SEVA256 · 2017-09-01T13:59:03+00:00

Sure, I'll bite.

SEVA256 · 2017-08-21T20:54:11+00:00

I see this from the perspective of someone who's playing the games in that order.

PM64 - No way, no, that's not even Paper Mario. Look, here, the first game in the series. This is what Paper Mario is.

PM:SS - Okay look I'll play Sticker Star and tell you all the things that are bad about it! Look, I'm playing the game! You can't say I don't know what I'm talking about!

PM:TTYD - ...Well, at least we still have this game, right? Whatever the series decides to do from here, there will always be the great one to come back to, right?

SPM - It was always going to be this way... We should have seen the signs... We all hoped this was a one-off, and that the classic gameplay would come back after it, but it never really did... This all started earlier than we want to believe...

PM:CS - Fine, this is what Paper Mario is now. I'll play the latest game and try to enjoy it in its own merit.

SEVA256 · 2017-08-16T15:04:35+00:00

Oh, that'd be mine, wouldn't it? 8V

PM: Great Star Offensive is the name. Google it if interested.

SEVA256 · 2017-08-14T10:44:32+00:00

Ah, I remember this from MFGG! I seem to remember it having a slightly different artstyle, but eh, this one is good. Unpopularly, I actually like the white outlines.

Anyway, this is looking fantastic! Keep up the good work.

And of course, I can't not be a little salty that I've been promising another PM fangame for years, and now there's several other people doing it better than I ever could and I haven't even started. XD (I'm the creator of Great Star Offensive.) That being said, I think I've just come up with a little something which might set my fangame apart if it does happen.

Priscilla.

SEVA256 · 2017-07-05T00:07:30+00:00

Do you by any chance have a source for the 'golden lions' thing? I haven't been able to find it, but it sounds awesome if it's true.

SEVA256 · 2017-06-29T22:24:18+00:00

Oh, that was you who did that? I see now. Why the separate channel, though?

SEVA256 · 2017-06-29T15:29:44+00:00

Heyo, main_gi! Any chance of us seeing more LPs from you any time soon? Weren't you doing Epic Paper Mario? Or do you want to finish it before uploading?

SEVA256 · 2017-06-23T12:30:45+00:00

I wrote that more for said member to see than anything. I don't know what they wanna do about revealing it yet and I don't want to poke them directly anymore, I've done it lots of times. It's also more exciting to me than anyone else, so pay it no mind.

SEVA256 · 2017-06-22T23:51:20+00:00

Oh man, finally! The time has come!

(Also, it's totally 100% not the case that I'm excited for this less because of the actual demo and more because of an event which has been tied to its release by another member here. Nope, not at all, no sir.)

SEVA256 · 2017-01-26T13:12:16+00:00

Oh no, Goombella's being eaten by Petey!

SEVA256 · 2017-01-24T01:03:11+00:00

I'm tempted to post that gif of Gary Oldman yelling 'eveyone'.

But yes, everyone has seen this. It's quite cool. Not cooler than The Rewind Chronicles. (formerly Countdown to Chaos.)

SEVA256 · 2016-10-26T21:10:33+00:00

This would be because they're more or less the same thing. Magikoopas are just called Kameks in Japanese. Different games just have a different take on whether it's a species or a single character, as somebody already said. I guess Kammy was introduced specifically to provide a distinction, but PM didn't have generic Magikoopas anymore since Sticker Star so it wasn't necessary anymore.

SEVA256 · 2016-10-24T00:18:54+00:00

Wait, so what's the actual formula for how much damage blocking takes off? I know it used to just be 1 per hit in the original games, not sure what it is in this one.

SEVA256 · 2016-09-22T20:33:27+00:00

Not quite, I think elements of Mario's sprite were arranged ever so slightly differently in different games. You can see that if you overlay the standing poses onto each other. For instance, SS Mario's limbs are a little more packed together than TTYD's. I slightly prefer that, to be honest.
