“Rats, I missed! Oh, I hate it when I miss!” - Thwomp, " Never Koop a Koopa" For something both unique and nostalgic, fans of Portal and Mario should definitely give Mari0 a try.Artwork of a Thwomp from Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit In some regards they are even improved: Animations and side-scrolling are smoother and more intuitive, and the challenging aspects that comprised both Mario and Portal are still present here, despite the new changes. Thwomps, also known as Thwomp Traps, are giant stone faces found mostly in the Mushroom Kingdom. We hope to have some good news for you soon.They are normally depicted as spike-encrusted living stones that are usually rectangular in shape and made their first appearance in the game Super Mario Bros. Thanks again for sticking with us for so long. An original project is a lot more likely. We would love to make another big game like Mari0, but you can’t exactly plan popularity. It’s mostly about having motivation, inspiration and a lot of time. We have fairly recently started workin full-time so we still have to get used to that before we can go about and crunch out a game again. One last thing you may be wondering is what we’ll be doing in the future. You can find an album of pictures we took here. Might be an interesting thing to look into. There’s also been some interest that we provide the whole package (LED wall, the controller and the game) at other events, so we’ll see how that works out too. It was an awesome week that we are hoping to be able to recreate next year. It’s not about money for us (the devil has yet to tempt us), but about seeing people have fun with the games we create (even if that means pouring our own cash into making it happen). The reception we got was amazing and that’s the stuff that we run on. Gamescom 2015! As we wrote in the last blogpost, we once again visited Gamescom in Cologne with our usual games lineup but also developed a game specifically to be played on an LED wall with 2 players. Feel free to try it out, but keep in mind it is basically in alpha state. If you really want to take a look at SE, we have released some betas on the forums during the development of Mari0 SE which were compiled by a user on the forums. Perhaps some different decisions in the past would have led to SE actually being released, but at this point Mari0 is shelved for good and it might be for the better - there is only so much you can do with a mashup of different games. We’re sorry if you’re dissapointed about this, and we’re sure a lot are. At this point creating what is essentially a sequel is not a commitment we can make - especially not one that we would be satisified with. clone that had portals added because the idea sounded neat. The reason for this inevitable announcement is that as SE grew with planned features, issues started to pop up that would either require even more code duct tape or a complete recreation of the game, which is frankly more work than we are willing to put into it - Mari0 was, after all, started only as a test Super Mario Bros. Making Mari0 was a great experience that we won’t forget, and the positive (and some of the negative) responses we received will stick with us for a long time. So, first of all: Mari0 SE is cancelled at this point. There are plenty of small game developers like us around and having an actual audience is an honor. The fact that you are reading this means that you still think of, founded with only two people a little over three years ago, which is incredibly awesome and humbling. First of all, before anything else, if you’re reading this: Thank you very much.
