Subject: Maria on Tour is in the files section everybody!!!
Well at last I've got that title screen out of the way. But with a few
minor changes and things I made to the game I haven't 100% playtested
it. If you find any bugs let me know by all means, but to my knowledge
it is completable. Some of the rooms I admit may seem a little
uninspired or easy but I'm hoping I've put enough original touches in
there to at least give you all a nice play. Although in my own opinion
the game is a little unbalanced, some sections are super easy others
can be a little ridiculous, but the best of my knowledge all are
possible. However there is one room in there which almost requires luck
rather than skill to finish it. I won't say anything about that because
I'm sure I'll get a ton of complaints or comments about it when
somebody gets there.
Also I strongly advise against opening it up with JSWED for a quick spy
as this will certainly ruin several surprises and may also confuse you.
You do so at the risk of shortening the life of this game considerably.
Also for anyone who likes to read my massive readmes, I've added 2 new
sections to this games readme a section 7 entitled Deleted Rooms and a
section 8 entitled final thoughts for anyone interested in what I have
to say about my own work.
Also (again haha) I'd like to say that maybe in my last post I was a
little too harsh on the GBA version of MM. Maybe I was hasty in my
judgement, but I will stick to the fact that I don't really think much
of the new rooms and I don't like the face they gave Miner Willy on the
title screen half the mystery behind the original games cover art was
never knowing what Willys' face actually looked like. Which in effect
added a little mystery to the game in my opinion (or at least in the
opinion of my 6 or 7 year old mind at the time).
Anyway hope you all enjoy the game and don't judge it too harshly for
the quality to time ratio involved.
Cheers and keep editing, and let me know how all your stuff is
progressing too.
