Touhou Mario 2 - The Trailer

Hello everyone. This time I won't have any tool or anything else since you guys know, Wakana and me are working on Touhou Mario 2. We thought that a demo would be too spoiling, specially on a rather short hack (Touhou Mario 2 should have at maximum, around 20 exits), so we decided to make a trailer and show a bit of it.

THE TRAILER

As the end of the trailer says, the full release will be during the Winter C3: there is still a lot of work to do, specially in terms of ASM (bosses), but adjusting a few minor things too, as well as including more levels.
I hope you enjoy this trailer, for the new gimmicks, for the level design and for everything else. We are giving the maximum on this project, specially me since it's likely to be the last hack I will ever do.

Feel free to comment, suggest, criticize and ask about anything.

Also check out our WIP thread here!

Edit: level up!

What an amazing hack this is going to be, judging by the trailer. Will you still continue to make resources(not hacks), after you're done with this?
Also, congrats Vitor and Wakana.
Just nine words: By far the most amazing hack I've ever seen!
Whew! That was an amazing trailer!

I've been a big fan of the Touhou Mario hacks, and I'll definitely be looking forward to playing this next C3. Keep up the great work, you two!

I'm probably retired tbh
This looks a lot more polished than the first one (I remember a lot of really grainy graphics) and I think the bosses up to this point have been a lot more true to the bosses from the real game. That vertical-scrolling level looks especially cool. I applaud your choice not to release a demo; it really does give away too much about the hack.

Just look above you...
If it's something that can be stopped, then just try to stop it!
That hack is awesome (even if I don't like Touhou so much), I like to see you have put a lot of things on that, it's like a new game

(But the trailer is not so good because you used Movie Maker *runs*)
bless
Damn, this looks really impressive. A lot more polished than the first one, if you ask me. There seems to be a lot more of aesthetical variety; I really like the graphics I spotted in the trailer. Also, it seems that it'll feel a lot more like Touhou... Those shooters look pretty challenging. Can't wait to see what you guys have to offer about the bosses. :3

Judging by the trailer and also by some pics I've seen you show here and there over the IRC, this is definitely going to be amazing. I can't wait for the release next C3; good luck to both of you!
It's easily the best thing I've done
So why the empty numb?
Hey, this looks pretty amazing!
I know next to nothing about the Touhou series so many of the references were probably lost to me, but it looks like you two have put lots of effort into making the crossover work.

The ASM in particular is breathtaking (no surprise coming from you :p), and I hope the level design and graphical choices will work together with it instead of creating a clashing experience. (I couldn't really tell from the trailer.) Either way, this will certainly be fun.

Hope you guys manage to pull this through, and that everything will do according to schedule!

Whoa this one will be much more "touhou" than the first one, those ufos and spell cards. I can't wait for this hack #thp{;)}

It looks really great!
The ASM is so stunning o:

I worry a bit about the amount of enemys at some points, but I suppose that fits Touhou pretty well! Don't make it frustrating though, please!

Good luck!
Nice >.< I think I'll be playing as Luigi this time around! It looks so much better than the first. :3

Then you're aiming for a higher jumping~ Yes, Mario and Luigi will also have different abilities, such as jump height, running speed, shoot behavour and much much more~
Oh wow, I'll have to LP this when it comes out
The Trailer looks amazing Vitor, it will be interesting to see where the hack goes in its later worlds. Touhou Mario 2 is going to be amazing to play.
Your layout has been removed.
Touhou Mario was already amazing and you both yet still manage to make a sequel even better. That's going to be one of the best hacks.

freaking hype for the release
well, not gonna release any ASM hacks next winter, for they will just die in the shadow of this xD
No seriously, I've seen planty on #ScarletFluffy already, but this looks awesome as was to be expected :P
Hope to see many nice levels this winter #smw{:TUP:}

Thanks for the comments so far guys! #w{=3}

I was rather demotivated recently with this to be honest, I'm giving too much effort that I had to literally drop other projects (and getting pressured to work on them), GFX issues, ZSNES issues and so. Now I feel more motivated to finish this.

I don't know. My family is pressuring me about keeping too much time in the computer and they want to I get a job and/or more school. All depends from the time. But there is real possibilities of this happening and hence why I'm so focused on this.

Yeah, this is something we're really working: Make a combination, harmony with ASM + Graphics + Music + Design. Wakana is been doing a excellent job with the design and music, he is giving much effort on them, also you should check out his thread, there is some Touhou Mario 2 songs included in the SPC list if you're interested. An example for harmony is the Youmu's stage (if you looked at the end of the trailer, you may notice a level that starts totally black and white, full of souls and when Mario/Luigi collects them, the level's saturation increases a bit, plus it unlocks more sections of the level. I noticed some people saying that the hack is more polished and one of the reasons is this harmony we're creating.

Also I want to thanks Eevee for helping me with the Boss's graphics. Without him, this hack wouldn't exist.

Yeah, I'll promise that you will never get any frustration. Some bosses will be indeed impossible to beat, but they will be fun enough to you don't get frustrated :3

And don't forgot the dialogues! If Touhou Mario 1 was funny, this time will be much more with Mario <-> Luigi! :P

You got some really sweet level design there. I like how you incorporated touhou mechanics such as the life system and the UFO's from...well UFO. These kind of things make the game feel like an actually crossover and not just a "hey imma just gonna throw touhou into Mario cuz it's populabz". The bosses look a bit hard/unfair though.

Nice work you two.
First of all: LUIGI IS IN THE HACK! YEAAAH
Second, I wonder if I should play TH11 before playing this one, but so far I'm looking forward to this. I liked the powerups and the bosses, kinda feels like we're playing the original touhou games. That's really good.

Very good Wakana and Vitor!

*Disabling layout just for posts in C3 thread.
I'm impressed with a lot of the technical stuff in this. Good job on the bosses and graphical effects.

Also my wife's interested in it once you release it, being a touhou fan :)
