Posted by NessMasta - July 12th, 2010


I've been working hard at my other job, my studio recently co-producing 'Sprites!' (as well as being Lead Animator for the series), making a website for my studio (as well as for Sprites! & SMBZ: Desumacchi), and working on the official Super Mario Bros. Z Game. You can say that I've got a crap-load on my plate as of right now.

I've been gathering necessary sprites for the characters and settings to get ready for the game. I plan on talking with A.E. sometime this week if there are any other sprites he would like for me to add into the game, as well as to know what big game villains he plans on not using in his series' main time-line.

Anywho, the main reason I am writing this is that I do have some good news pertaining to the game. The good news is that the game will hopefully be using the Newgrounds Medal System where you can unlock medals in certain areas as well as points. I've been testing out the Newgrounds API system for awhile and seems to be working. I will keep you informed on this matter down the road.

This next couple paragraph is more solely on answering/respond to questions or comments. In my last news post when I revealed the title of the SMBZ game, as well as the logo, one NG User commented that I should release a trailer of the game once I have it finished or close to having it finished. Well, I plan to at least make 2 trailers for the game. One would be a teaser trailer of course, and then the second one would be a post-production, official trailer. I plan on releasing these on YouTube and on my studio's website when ready.

This next one here is a question. A follower asked "BTW what happened to NintengaBall GT u just make one episode and don't say anything for like 3 Year's >.>?" I've said this once, and I'll say it again, NBGT is still in the works, but not in the format that I've originally had the series in, also for the past 3 years, I've been busy with work and didn't feel like animating things in flash; pretty much, you can say that I'm a lazy fat ass.

But, I'm currently in the middle of saving up a for a Wacom Cintiq 21UX tablet, as well as planning on getting ToonBoom Animate Pro and a new iMac desktop, which would be a total of $5000-$6000+ coming from my pocket, so it'll be a long while till I get the necessary things to pursue the series. Too, the series will rather become a motion picture-length trilogy with regular animation, instead of sprites.

NBGT will follow a complete, different mythology than just some Nintendo/Sega collaboration, the story and plot will be all original, so don't go around saying that it doesn't go along with the current characters and such with the gaming company and the character's image, it is what I want it to be imaged to follow a certain story, kind of like Nolan's Batman series. So there you have it on that front, and you probably won't hear any NBGT-releated news for quite sometime.

A SMBZ... game? Hmm... that actually sounds pretty cool. I'll be looking forward to that.

Don't you dare shortcut this game.

If ever there was a SMBZ flash game, it should be the greatest thing to hit the internet since Chuck Norris. >:|

Is Alvin-Earthworm aware that you're making a game? I think he'd be pretty honored to see a game about his series. Good luck with it!

The obvious answer is yes, which is where I talk about him briefly in the second paragraph.

Coping and pasting sprites into a sequence must be hard work.

Not at all like drawing it all yourself by hand.

Hmmm...Really? You guys are gonna make an OFFICIAL SMBZ game? Crap...
I wanted the be the only special one who tried. :D

(At least i started first :o)

Does it have unlockable characters in it?

Nah, it only has one useable character (mario) atm. Its pretty under developed at the moment (cause i hardly work on it) but its still a pretty sick brawler.
you play as mario vs the computer, sonic.
check the in-game info (F1 while in-game) for all the details you want.
