Custom Super Mario Bros. (Custom SMB) is a simple little project that aims at recreating the feel of the classic Super Mario games, yet delivering new content, extended gameplay, tweaked mechanics, and more complex art and animations.
It all comes packed in with a Level Editor to make your own games in minutes with the same engine. Simply make the levels and connect them in any order you choose! You could even make a Metroid style free roaming game with the use of warp pipes. Included with the game will be at least 2 games to enjoy right away, or for you to pick apart and edit!
Here is a teaser trailer, and some other footage:
The core gameplay engine is essentially near completion. The only things left are adding all the enemies and debugging. And a few smaller features. Since I created a level editor for it, I thought I could let people from the community build the levels that will make it into the final release.
I need a couple of people to help me speed up the production of this thing. A lot of the positions I need filled don't require any coding experience! So don't worry if you are not a great coder or artist, you can still help! Anyone who helps will get their name in the credits screen of each release. Give credit where credit is due!
If you have any questions about anything, or just want to discuss the project in general, feel free to post below.
Here is a screen of the level selector in-game. No real UI yet, just beta graphics. Its mostly just debugging levels and test rooms right now.
and a "New Super Mario Bros." test. I just slapped in NSMB level tileset for fun.
