I use GameMaker. It isn't intended to be used for 3D, so it would be much easier to accomplish the same thing in a different engine.

I've been really wanting to spend more time on this project recently, but I've had so much work!!!!!!!!!!!!! once that's done, I think I'll be able to commit a lot of time to it :)

i really gotta get more work done on this game but i keep second guessing myself about whether it's swag enough ....

I wanted Larry to feel distinct from his official modern incarnation, so I didn't reference any images except for his smb3 sprite.

the princess is a recolour of Peach but she's a separate character, "princess strawberry" or something, I haven't really decided yet.

I have used godot briefly, and I did consider using it for this project. I've been using gamemaker for a looooongg time, and imo programming is my strongest skill by far, so I'm mostly interested in doing whatever is going to push me to improve.

the game itself is in gamemaker, but gamemaker isn't really suited / intended for 3d, so it takes a lot of effort / code / math to get nice 3d stuff out of it

this was meant to be for a game jam so i've only got 2 more days to turn it into something playable -- oops ??? i'll try to make something small out of it.

the model is split up into 8 or so smaller meshes. all of the animation is done totally programmatically, just moving and rotating the parts around

I want to but it's a really big project so it won't be for a while

its sooo beautiful

the music is by @oroshibu.bsky.social and the sfx are @hapty.bsky.social

the end of this month marks the 1 year anniversary of when I started learning music. I've got a long way to go still, but I'm really proud of the progress I've made!!!!

you can play the game here: sirmilkman.itch.io/o
the full in-game track is 4 minutes, so there's a lot more to hear

I mostly did the programming and game design as usual, but for the first time in a Team Bugulon project I also played a significant art role!

You can play it here: team-bugulon.itch.io/super-pyonpon

thank you heavy lobster from kirby superstar, it will be available to download some day when i've finished making it
