i never said it didn’t need to be here. i was just annoyed by the wording of it “fixing” the game. that discounts the work of the developer a LOT. there were plenty of reasons for why the new physics were implemented, and there’s proof in the code that it was attempted, but didn’t work out

SkyanUltra @skyanultra.bsky.social · 14d

you’re already punished for going fast by being bombarded by enemies and falling into pits which can kill you if you aren’t careful. i don’t think its a bad idea at all to give the player a bit of a better way to put the brakes on so you don’t have to massively overcorrect like in the original game

it really isn’t disrespectful to say a game from the 80s is a bit outdated by today’s standards for a platformer. calling it archaic doesn’t at all change how revolutionary the game was for the time, but seriously- it was the first of its kind, they weren’t bound to perfect it the first time.

SkyanUltra @skyanultra.bsky.social · 15d

I think its cool to make things like this to try and bring it closer to the original game, don't get me wrong- but for a lot of modern and classic players alike, the classic gameplay style simply does not work, both in the context of the game and the players. This isn't a "fix", its a "tweak".

SkyanUltra @skyanultra.bsky.social · 15d

And secondly, SMB1/LL's physics are very archaic. Even if just for accuracy to the original game, one of the biggest complaints with the original titles has to do with the near lack of air control and slippery controls. This isn't necessarily meant to be entirely faithful- its a complete remaster.

that feels super negative and destructive towards the team that worked behind the project. the fact is, the physics AREN'T accurate for a couple of reasons:
For one, and this is the most important reason, SMBS's campaign literally wouldn't be playable, since the game uses entirely different physics

For reference, we had a little over a month to work on all of Week 3 and BeRzErKeR.

For Week 4, after we finished the patch for v3, we had 12 DAYS to do all of Week 4 and the original, and all we had done in advance were a couple of the Week 4 remixes.

Hi everyone!! Just a little update on From the Top!

We've been hard at work, but given little time we have to work on v4, we will not be releasing for a little while longer!!

In the meantime, here's Mommy Mearest looking very alive and well.

Of course, if you find any issues please report them to me! I'll try my best to fix whatever I can find, but I can't do it alone. :3

SkyanUltra @skyanultra.bsky.social · Dec 15

A patch is in the works for From the Top!

I've already addressed some issues in BeRzErKeR, including minor animation issues and a major crash for computers with AMD drivers on the song.

While you wait, here's a preview of the new in-game mod description!

Fun fact about From the Top! (And FNF by extension)

There's code for a 5th judgement in the source for FNF named "Killer" that goes unused, and is commented out.

We found this mid development, and decided to add it back in, albiet with more lenient timing. (20ms)

SkyanUltra @skyanultra.bsky.social · Dec 12

We're going to be delaying the mod's release just a bit!
Technically the mod is pretty much done, but I'm gonna be spending a bit of time sprucing up some songs with more fun stuff to keep things consistent, because I feel like if it released now it'd be in a bit of a rough shape.

SkyanUltra @skyanultra.bsky.social · Dec 11

It's time to lock in.
FNF: From the Top is slated to release today!
