My Dead Little Yoshi Fangame

By: Fifth
I guess I might as well submit this here... So, this was my best attempt at creating a Yoshi's Island-style fangame. I was trying to go for an adventure/exploration-style to the gameplay, but I didn't get very far, so there's only one tiny little area. And it's buggy. VERY buggy. I abandoned this with good reason, hm? While the sprites for Yoshi aren't RIPPED, exactly, some of the head graphics were copied pixel-for-pixel. That little dangly thing around Yoshi's neck is supposed to be some sorta pendant-thing what protects him. When he gets hit, stars fly out of it, and you can collect them up again if your quick enough. Should you run out of stars, the pendant breaks, leaving Yoshi screwed. ...And if you press backslash, Yoshi will change to a random color. That's all! I don't expect to be making any more submissions here, but I figured this one might be worthwhile enough, even if it's abandoned. Enjoy!

Completion: Scrapped	Genre: Platform
Franchise: Mario

Author	Summary	Score
Roo	Worth trying out just to see how good some people were at making engines all the way back in '06.	7 / 10
Parakarry	Without a doubt, the best Yoshi engine on the entire site. Play around in it!	9 / 10
Com	Start working on this again. It will do you good. This would be a awesome game if finished. You should release a YI how-to based of this.	8 / 10
Yoshimaster	Impressive. I'd say that if the holes in the engine were patched up and some more polish was added, this could end up being the best Yoshi engine this site has ever seen.	9 / 10
Techokami	Fifth, if you are reading this, please do the Mario fangame community a large favor and release the sourcecode to your wonderful scrapped fangame. People will build off it, fix mistakes, and do wild things. This, with the collision errors fixed up, beats Rage's open source engine, hands down.	10 / 10
Black Squirrel	A game that shouldn't have been scrapped. It has great potential, and is worth the download just to see how a fangame SHOULD be made.	7 / 10
Average Score		8.3 / 10

Sad it was canned. Well, it's fun all the same :)

Well... I suppose I could just release the source for this thing, but keep in mind I had VERY GOOD reasons for abandoning it. It's exTREMEly messy, unacceptably buggy, and, overall, quite poorly organized. It was good practice for some cool techniques (as well as a lesson in how NOT to organize a game), but I really don't think what's here can be turned into something finished. Nonetheless, if people want me to, I suppose I could release the source. If nothing else, there might be a couple of interesting ideas that can be torn from this thing...

I'm sure this engine alone would qualify as a how-to without even fixing the engine. The majority of MFGG seem to like this game a lot, including myself.


	Techokami Jun 24 2006, 8:46 PM
Please, release the source! As I had said in my review, people (like myself =P) can fix the engine up. Also, don't be ashamed of sloppy code. We all do it. XD


	Techokami Jun 24 2006, 11:15 PM
Where are your manners, "comedy"? That's quite rude. This scrapped game does have things you can do, you just need to make sure you're using the correct controls.


	adan Jun 26 2006, 5:01 AM
Hmmm... all i see is Yoshi falling out of view and then.....nothing...a shame really.


	Fifth Jun 26 2006, 6:51 PM
Hmm... I can't figure out how to update, so I'll just post here: --- OPEN-SOURCE VERSION --- http://www.geocities.com/f1fth/yoshi_open.zip ...Have fun, take what you want, and read the readme first (at least some of it). And don't say I didn't warn you: this game is a mess.

All you do is... NOTHING!!!! but fall down, WHY DOES SO MANY PEOPLE LIKE IT!?!?!?!?


	Fifth Jun 26 2006, 11:44 PM
Hmm... Actually, I've heard that happen before. I think it's because the level doesn't load for some reason. It must be computer-specific, but I've never actually witnessed it. Sorry, comedy. I don't know why, but I'm afraid it just won't run on your computer.


	Techokami Jun 27 2006, 8:45 PM
External level format? Neat! I've been trying to figure out how to do something like this myself =P Thank you so much!

That's a nice little scrapped game. It has some annoying bugs but overall it's a shame you scrapped it. Too bad there's no sound.

Quote (comedy on Jun 26 2006, 11:24 PM) All you do is... NOTHING!!!! but fall down, WHY DOES SO MANY PEOPLE LIKE IT!?!?!?!? Have you try to extract the game out of the zip? That can be why you are having problems concidering that the levels are in seperate files in the zip. Anyways, this game is REALLY awesome. =D

	Super Mario Guy Mar 8 2007, 5:42 AM
ok can u even beat this game or is it really just boring,it has great moves and all but are there other levels??


	Fifth Mar 8 2007, 6:33 AM
Nope. There's just the one little test area; this game's abandoned.


	Super Mario Guy Apr 22 2007, 4:18 AM
-_-......then all u do is go around in circles and when u go underground what is the key for??Is it just something to play with.


	Super Mario Guy Apr 22 2007, 4:18 AM
Nothing Here


	Shroob2 Jul 2 2007, 1:24 AM
I'm in endless water when I play this. Literaly.


	Fifth Jul 8 2007, 6:15 PM
I'm afraid there's nothing I can do about that, sorry. The levels simply don't load on some computers, and I have no idea why.

The gravity is too high
