    Thoughts on AI in game development and society?

    If you mean by other things fangames and romhacks then yes, those never claim to be original material so unless authors make money with it, nobody should bother them like Nintendo does. It's a matter of being honest and transparent with what you do, and those LLMs, the companies behind and the...

    Thoughts on AI in game development and society?

    Imagine living in a society ruled by copyright laws, and letting someone else insert more-or-less edited versions of others' works into your own, no notice or anything.

    Vampire Wario wasn't just a bat in Wario Land 4?

    You can't use tiles that way in WL3 since there's only 1 layer (unlike SMW and WL4) but it would have been easy to C/C this block's code and change default effect to water instead of empty (+ add another condition to exclude bat and only let the vampire form). Looking at the room's design it...

    Vampire Wario wasn't just a bat in Wario Land 4?

    To my knowledge he can't, entering water will set wario back to normal. The tiles he's talking about are visually water but in reality they act as solid blocks when wario is vampire or bat (doesn't make a difference between both) else they're empty blocks. Developers maybe had the idea to use...

    I may try and relaunch the Wario Land 4 modding site soon...

    Looking forward your revamped version, level submission being locked behind discord server was bad tbh. I'll send a new lvl of mine when I finish last section and overall decoration (got lotsa funny ideas for WL4 hacking lately).

    A Kaizo Wario Hack?

    Nietzsche mainly. I started to read him out of spite (being christian platonician) then my interest grew as I read more of it. Books from all periods : Human too human I & II, Beyond Good and Evil, Antichrist, Ecce Homo, Twilight of the Idols, The Case of Wagner, On the Genealogy of Morality...

    A Kaizo Wario Hack?

    No lol I'm french, reading german philosophers through translations. I got taught german as option in secondary school but I was really bad.

    A Kaizo Wario Hack?

    Stuff that isn't related to wario and will bore you (unless you like parodies of german philosophy with constant innuendo) except music where it's pumping (though a bit too hard for anyone). But this topic is starting to become a Blanchon's contemporary art gallery, so I'll stop here.

    A Kaizo Wario Hack?

    This summer I made a few bits of code for 1st cutscene, that's all. I'd love to work full-time on this hack but I'm already busy working on other difficult artistic projects (not mentioning IRL problems these past 2 years draining my soul). To compensate I proposed technical help to author of...

    A Kaizo Wario Hack?

    There's one traditional romhack of WL1 in progress CM30 talked about : https://www.romhacking.net/forum/index.php?topic=40244.0 If we don't have much, it's probably for similar reasons as SML2 (which got none). Then ... there's this fangame of yours we're waiting for. :warioscheme:

    Should Wario be invincible?

    They could give wario spare hits in boss battles and let him be invincible the rest of the adventure like pizza tower did.

    Fan Game F3 Trailer for Wario's Conquest + SML2 Reclaimed!

    Nice that you've remaked the WL3 sliced transformation for prop/mario&luigi shenanagans, I always felt this one was underexploited.

    Poll Is the weather really hot where you are?

    We got 43 degrees in some west towns in France, most departments are in maximum alert. Where I live it's 38 degrees average, nights are horrendous. 2nd heatwave this year, can't wait to see how we're gonna be roasted in July/August !

    God I hate those no social media laws in places like the UK...

    Some issues being kids organizing bullying campaign on social medias, being exposed to ads promoting dubious substances/practices, to sects/echo chambers. There's an inherent problem with virtual spaces that let you do things, see anything, and contact with anyone in a fraction of a second...

    WARIO MAKER

    This thing already exists, it's called Wario land 4 Editor for the PC ( GitHub - wario-land/WL4Editor: Wario Land 4 Level Editor. ; Wario Land 4 Hack Vault ; see tutos on youtube). It's free. Doesn't have multiplayer but you can craft unlimited levels (and change any game mechanic if you're...

    The differing design philosophy of the Wario Land series

    It's even more probable when you consider the exploration and puzzle aspects of those games. Lots of dawdling and so opportunities to show funny bits of Wario's personality (WL4 does that really well). Then Wario already had a strong persona in its first appearance in SML2, being the literal...

    The differing design philosophy of the Wario Land series

    Making big enemies for small portable games (especially on good old gameboys with the sprite limitation - no more than 10 8x8 sprites on a singular line) isn't the best play. Plus it's time consuming and not practical in most situations (easier to fit a goom in a tunnel than a fat octopus whose...

    Fan Content Wario & the Tower of Garlic

    Just finished it. Easy & fun to play episode, but it's really short (only 11 levels). Maybe they'll add a few floors in future updates ... ? Potential is there at least for something bigger.
