About NPC Suggestions

[MACKACHE]

Discuss about what do you think about NPC suggesting.

Lately, a lot of people here keep suggesting and/or wanting for new NPC(s) to be appear in the next version without providing graphics due to 38A's ideas and suggestions rules. And possibly new people. I don't see what is the point or why do they keep doing this. Are they were still relevant?

So what do you think about NPC suggesting? I would like to see your thoughts and opinions about it.

Well i would say sometimes though if they don't provide graphics i guess the Npc could be put in the game but the chances I would say would be low

[Mushroom King]

I really think the npcs needed first are the ones still missing in SMBX from Mario All Stars like Wiggler, Chargin' Chuck, Boo Buddy Block, Rip Van Fish, Big Bertha, Fire Snake, Kuribo's Goomba, Phanto...
Well, that kind of npc.

I doubt that we will get new NPCs because most of the suggested NPCs are already made with script's , but we can hope for new power ups at least.

[Mushroom King]

38A did already a great job with npc like Magikoopa. I really don't see why he wouldn't do the other npcs. Yes, some were recreated with script, but it always cost one or more other npcs from the list being replaced, and even so, the recreation is not always accurate to the original.

I did choose ''Unsure'' because sometimes some people keeps suggesting NPCs without providing any graphics due to 5438A38A's rules about NPC/Power-Ups suggesting. And sometimes 5438A38A accepts to add new NPCs even if they didn't providing any graphics. So I'm really unsure if they're relevant or not.

I have seen a lot of "My 1.4.5 ideas" lately, and I have noticed most of them simply make a large list without posting any graphics for any NPCs. It would be helpful if 38A revealed what NPCs are planned for 1.4.5 so people can help him find graphics.

[Mushroom King]

I'm sure he already know where to get the sprites, like here https://www.spriters-resource.com/ and only request about npc no existing in any of the classic mario games (SMB1,SMB2,SMB3,SMW) would be a problem with a real need to create the sprites.

[MACKACHE]

Since 38A keeps "lurking" in the forums (not saying he's inactive, he just rarely visits but if you have the same timezone as him and be able to check the forums so I guess he isn't but still) so he probably checks almost all topic suggestions from (most) people. I think.. he accepts a few of them but didn't add in the version (I also think this happens in 1.4.4 patch 0 release).

Everyone knows that 38A watches us secretly , I mean he does care about his community/fanbase but to what extend?

[TheGreatMarioPerson]

He loves his fanbase and respects them and wants them to be pleased, but extending npcs is probely unnecessary to him cuz of what so many things the tea script can do.

[Mushroom King]

extending npcs is probely unnecessary to him

I don't think so. Npcs aren't just sprites. It also adding new gameplay fonction and AI, and it's better to have it already part of the editor than to create a script. He already did that by adding boomerang/fire/ice/sledge/sumo bros, magikoopa, chain chomp, even broozer...
NPCs ennemies in platformer are important, because of the AI and gameplay impact. It can be not the most important thing on his "to do" list right now, but I'm sure 38A wouldn't say new NPCs are unnecessary.

Oh i see, looks like im wrong. Thanks for telling

[SgwySpeedrcr]

I think there are many NPCs that need their AI updated... namely the hammer bros and chain chomp. Their behaviors are much different than the official smb3 its actually jarring.

I hope that if we successfully create a script in TeaScript then 38A should make it official. Namely starting with everything Dark Mecha / LX XZIT has created on youtube.

[MACKACHE]

Ugh, a newcomer just posted a huge list about NPC again...

What do I mean? I mean, look at the Ideas and Suggestion subforum - there's one at the top. Haven't they read the rules or something? (Sorry for the angry reply, I'm in a bad mood right now)

[Void]

I think they should just stick to the suggestions thread instead of making new ones.
