In September 2017, Maurice started rewriting some of Mari0's 5-year-old code to be more optimized, and to run on 3DS. Although Turtle had previously attempted a 3DS port, it was was unsuccessful. Mari0 2 began as a project to port the game for TurtleP's Love Potion, which is a port of Löve to 3DS homebrew. Mari0 2 will not be backwards compatible with previous releases - it is an entirely new game.The game will feature a brand new animation of the logo as its splash screen.Other possible characters (if there is time) include Wario, Waluigi, Atlas, P-body, Crash Bandicoot, Yoshi, Gordon Freeman, Princess Peach, and Rainbow Dash. Aside from the obvious Mario, he also plans to make Chell, Luigi (based on his sprites in Super Mario All-Stars) and Bendy (a character from Portal 2 DLC). Custom characters will also also return, now handled mostly by HansAgain.Animations will also return, powering more of the game's events and transitions such as end-of-level events.Custom enemies will be expanded from Mari0: SE into a more powerful Actor system.
It's a rewrite I started and then I made it not bad so now it supports angled portals in arbitrary positions, runs better, and other stuff.Īs the game is very early in development, everything in this section is subject to change without notice.
