• Artist for Super Mario Bros HD
    19 replies, posted
For the last week or so I've been programming on a pure SMB clone. I'd say it's about 80% done. I began this project to simply see if I can create a sidescroller tile engine. Now I have come pretty far and I have been thinking about what to do with my game. The best thing I could come up with is turning this into a [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmpIkrl-B5M]Sonic 2 HD[/url] thing, and so I seek your help. I am not an artist, sadly, but some of the work in this forum I have seen is amazing. So I thought why not ask, maybe someone will be interested. What you will have to do is pretty simple: Recreate about 150 tiles, as well as 20 enemies (with 2 frames each) and 30 or so mario frames, all 16x16, in 4x size. The style should be recognizable that it's supposed to be Super Mario Bros (1) (Kind of like [url=http://www.tssznews.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/s2hd01.jpg]this?[/url] I should stop referencing Sonic 2 HD) Here's small mario's sheet in x4 size for example: [img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/marioanimations.png[/img] You'd have to redraw that so the proportions remain but it looks less 4x4 pixel. Don't worry about the quality of the programming. It's not a bad flash jump and run and feels exactly like the NES game. If you really need it I can post the game. Here's a screenshot (Though as I said it's mario; nothing more, nothing less, currently.) [img_thumb]http://filesmelt.com/dl/mario3.png[/img_thumb] Anyone willing to give this a try? I am very open for things like more animation frames, scrolling background and whatnot.
Yeah that's what someone else will have to do, and the reason why I'm asking here.

I think he's past his expiration date. I do like how you can recognize it's the SMB1 mario, though.
I guess the style should stay the same so I'd say more like Meat Boy to Super Meat Boy. An HD update. Here you can play the game if you want confirmation that it works: [url]http://maurice.workrum.net/stuff/marioR12.zip[/url] (X and C, arrow keys) If anything weird happens it's probably because I don't have it in yet.
I would like to work on it but I'm not good enough to keep proportions and make the same character from a sprite to another. [editline]26th January 2011[/editline] You should think about finding someone to remake the music as well

I tried and now he looks like clay or something. [img]http://img806.imageshack.us/img806/2181/itsameemahryeeogh.png[/img]
It looks a lot like the little big planet style. I like it.

It kinda looks like a mix of Little Big Planet and Kirby's Epic Yarn. I [B]really[/B] like it but I'm not sure if the whole game in that style would look good. Also the top of the sunblocking part of the hat looks weird. [editline].[/editline] The more I look at it the more I like it. It uses 16m colors while keeping a general palette of the original and gives Mario more detail, but still being recognizable as SMB1. Still I agree with adja007 that it's not the same kind of HD that sonic2hd has.
I made it less detailed. [URL=http://cubeupload.com/im/CUOD5V.png][IMG]http://i.cubeupload.com/CUOD5V.png[/IMG][/URL] and more scary
It actually doesn't look that bad at all, but the black outline ruins it. The proportions, sticking to original and expanding it are all very well done. And I really don't know if that style would work out in a game.
I wish I had the artistic abilities to help.
