Yeah, Dream Team doesn't limit you in that way at all, since you only have one group to control.


Also, I don't remember if this was said before or not, but you can save at any time (when out of battle). This is very helpful, especially if you play on the go a lot.


Also also, BaW, I highly recommend trying out the rest of the Mario RPGs! Try them chronologically, too, so you can get an idea of how the style of Mario RPGs has progressed. The first one, Super Mario RPG, is available on Virtual Console for the Wii/U, but finding physical copies of the other games may be trickier, especially Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door.

I'll answer here this time, but for future questions about 3D modeling/Cinema 4D, please keep it to private messages.

Cinema 4D is a professional 3D modeling/animation program, so it can do a ton of things. I was able to run it on this really old computer, with a 10-year-old graphics card and (before I added more) 512 MB of ram, and I could still use it fairly well. That said, the better your RAM/graphics card, the more polygons you can view and the faster your renders will be.

When you're making renders like I am, you have to approach it like a photographer if you want them to really look appealing. As I've learned, it's not enough to put scatter the models about and throw fancy light effects on them. You'll want to study the principles of composition, lighting, and a bit of color theory. There are a ton of tutorials for this stuff out there, including ones specific to C4D.


Man, has it really been that long since I've made a wallpaper? Oh, that's why, I forgot to release my latest one! (1920x1080)



...it's still been five months.

I hope you have a face mask or something. I've heard the pollution there is terrible.


@Zero One: Congrats! Just make sure you pick up more skills than just "how to develop games for the current consoles". Being a programmer or an artist means you still have options if you strike out at making games.

Unfortunately, I don't recognize the header at all, so I don't know if it's even compressed or not. At 150 MB, it is certainly big enough to be uncompressed, but who knows. I couldn't find any text in it, but I do spy what looks like image data neat the end of the file, starting around 0x92ECA30. There is definitely something there, but none of the tools I have are capable of extracting it.

Welcome to the board. I'm quite glad to see that some kids your age still have an appreciation for complete and proper grammar.


I'm going to try and not to think about the fact that my computer is older than you are...

For those of you that haven't been following the Super Smash Bros. site, some of the recent screenshots have shown off some new things. (Links to Miiverse.)

On Wednesday, they revealed that there will indeed be a Pilotwings stage. The fighting takes place on the wings of a biplane (!) as it flies around Training Stage 3, with what looks like Wuhu Island in the background. Interesting way to tie in Pilotwings Resort. Of course, like with Brawl, having a stage for the game doesn't mean there will be a fighter from the game.

And today, they showed off a new item: the X Bomb from Kid Icarus: Uprising. Kaboom! I just hope the Smart Bomb is still in as well. Having both of them together would mean lots of fiery fun.

Update: Today they showed off yet another stage: the Geothermal Power Planet in Pyrosphere from Metroid: Other M. Personally, I thought this was the most likely choice for the next Metroid stage, considering it's the perfect arena for a dramatic battle. Also, Sakurai hints that Ridley could show up in the background.

For the first six, sure. The seventh one is broken, though, so I can't see it.

That hexagonal texture looks familiar. Didn't it show up in some other GameCube game/service disk?

It seems they have a DVD set for the Super Mario World cartoon show. To buy or not to buy...

After several straight days of extended playing, I beat Mario & Luigi: Dream Team. That final boss was HARD. Took me about 3+ hours.

All in all, the whole game took me about 40 hours, and I still have beans and blocks to find. I'm only missing two! Why is Mount Pajamaja so dang big?

It's definitely a compressed normal map. Video game consoles use this kinda all the time. (Rather than using RGB for XYZ, grayscale color is X and alpha is Y.)

It's kind of surprising that hardly any GameCube games used normal maps, considering it could use them.

It seems that they're also adding the ability for you to take selfies with pictographs, too.


More Smash Bros. info:
  • Character outlines in the 3DS version will be adjustable, including the option to remove them entirely
  • The Pilotwings Resort stage will feature more than one airplane (possibly just two), and it looks like you will switch between them during the battle. Also, it seems to fly closer to Wuhu Island than previously shown.

No comments? Well, I was feeling motivated, so I made the next one! Also, all of the previous comics have been switched over to the new host, so again, let me know if any are broken or missing.


Comment: Just hope he can't shoot arrows. Or climb.


Kirby goes on the offensive in the next Kirby vs. Shy-Guy!

I really hope not. It was painful enough for me to even write that term.

I just finished watching Equestria Girls with a friend. I have to say, I enjoyed it a whole lot more than I was expecting. I really enjoyed all of the Twilight-doesn't-know-how-to-be-human jokes.
