Some more fools bought the book.

Fools, I tell you!

Well thanks a fuckin' lot for making me change my plans for the Box Monster. Now the game is going to be an allegory for the world we live in.

Still gonna put a buncha dicks in it though.

Thinking up enemies is a real PIA. Variety is important. But so is thematic appropriateness (my only real complaint with SMW was that some enemies really didn’t seem to fit the world - in my mind anyway).

But I made some nice collectible and power up designs.

Unfortunately I already have plans for the box monster. Technically, I guess I could rethink them though. Especially since both of you seem to feel so strongly about the idea.

Maybe.

Maybe the box is the rideable and something else does flight.

Already have plans for the box monster

Maybe a woodchuck or a wild hog.

Not sure if I need a ride-able dragon equivalent... And if so... What it should be.

Could be Mudgett. But that takes out the ability to give him a character spot in the game.

Could be Clarence. But I think Clarence works better in your mind.

Could be a purple minibike that spawns out of a dick...

I’m thinking that the title should be “Death in a Comic Shop 3: the Search for Spaceballs Two - Mutagenic Rage”

Pft. Like Mozart was a big shot composer or something.

@allofhertwitch.bsky.social this will almost certainly need to be a track. But a 16-bit instrumental version. Not sure what world/level yet though.

WTF?! BLUE SKY DOESN'T ALLOW ANIMATED GIFS?!

Hang on.

Regular Death (little Mario), Anime Death (Super Mario), Invincible Death (Star Mario), and Flying Death (Cape Mario). No Fire equivalent because Death has a scythe. Guess which of these had me cackling for 10 minutes straight.

Assuming I actually do the game... OK.
Here's some area themes to think about:
Downtown, Centennial Park, Hillsboro Village, Melrose, Farmer's Market, Hundred Oaks, Donelson, and Mt Juliet.

2 things to keep in mind, it'll be a Super Mario World homage and I hate Nashville (pump up the sarcasm).

Possible. Mutagen might play a pretty big part in the game and that could line up nicely.

Interesting thought. I’ll play around with that.

Hmmm. Enemy types. I’ve got a few ideas. Martin Moore fangirls (this would allow for subtypes). Cicadas. Protestants. Rednecks. Would need a lot more than this though. SMW had 50+. I don’t need that many but I do want to avoid too much repetition.

I know the got this guy is talking about!

Look, I'm not saying that this is definitely happening. But I have been playing a LOT of Super Mario World. I have no life. I ain't got shit to do. And I have a passing interest in making a game.

So this might happen.
