I can't remember if I activated it or not, but the prequel had one built in where it made the entire pallette turn Gameboy green - including all the buttons.

wish I could play more awesome projs like this, but demo version of sb4 only let's you download one Project without paying. not worth buying a Japanese edition of a game that will be translated anyway.snail_Power UserQSP Contest 1 Contest ParticipantI participated in the first SmileBASIC Source QSP Contest!HelperReceived for being very helpful around SmileBASIC SourceAchievementsAmazing ContributorSomeone thinks I'm an awesome person who has done so much for the community!Achievementsthe japanese version is in english too now and the demo lets you download once every 8 hourskantackistanSnail's right.

HTV, thankfully no! Nathaniel saved the day on that one. We transfered the files to PC as screenshots, then back through Petit Modem.

Programming StrengthWhat really sucks about the paid version of SB4 is that it's basically the demo but with saving enabled. You have to pay an additional $5 to get additional functionality for whatever dumb reason.kantackistanIt's not the most elegant solution, I admit it. But I respect what they were going for.

I haven't deciphered a lot of the video yet, but they do say stuff like it takes all your concentration, and the Giraffe both amuses and confuses them.
Also I think I got this part wrong, but it sounds like they're saying that "the game's light background music makes people fall in love" - So you know, when you're trying to seduce someone go ahead and crank some Morality Corps Anthemsnail_Power UserQSP Contest 1 Contest ParticipantI participated in the first SmileBASIC Source QSP Contest!HelperReceived for being very helpful around SmileBASIC SourceAchievementsAmazing ContributorSomeone thinks I'm an awesome person who has done so much for the community!Achievementsis there a story behind Stella?kantackistanOh right, I didn't really offer any explanation for her did I? She's Stella the Tomato Duck. She likes breadcrumbs and hates marinara.

Those familiar with Stella wouldn't expect her to make cameos, especially compared to the more popular characters. Thematically she's coming out of left field.
It would be like casting a Piranha Plant as a playable fighter... but ignoring everyone else from Super Mario.kantackistan
What would be your response if I opened up Versus Buffalo for suggestions when it came to designing new Minigames?
I'm thinking something along the lines of this: You submit your idea as a mocked-up screenshot. No words, no descriptions, just a single image communicating entirely through visuals. Then from that single screenshot, I can tell right away if it's a good fit for a rapid-fire, no-tutorial game like Buffalo. And if it's a good fit, it gets added in with a future update.IAmRalseiForum LeaderHiddenAchievementsSecond YearMy account is over 2 years oldWebsiteExpert ProgrammerProgramming no longer gives me any trouble.

I don't know if I'd be able to participate since I'm waiting for NA release of SB4 and also probably lacking programming knowledge in general, but I'd like to see what others come up with.kantackistanTo be clear, I wasn't looking for anyone to program their own Minigame. You could if you wanted, but for the contest I just wanted a picture of your idea.
Draw your idea for a minigame (on a napkin, in MS Paint, whatever) and post it without any words or description. If I really like your idea, I'd do the rest of the work.kantackistanCool, sounds like a resounding "do the contest!"

Programming StrengthDeep SleepHiddenWebsiteStill any plans on doing this? I've had an idea for a submission for a while now.kantackistanOh whoops, thanks for reminding me! I'll have to make an official post about it soon, but you can submit your ideas any time. There's no limit to how many you can submit, or any deadline. It's kind of like a suggestion box.
All you need to do is post a drawing/screenshot/video/whatever of each Minigame you come up with, without any explanation or words. (I want to see if I can figure the game out immediately the first time I see your mockup, without having to explain the rules. Because then I know it's a good fit for a game that doesn't have tutorials.)

Come to me for help, if you like!Programming Strengthit would be really difficult to do multiplayer mode and singleplayer would just be virtual buffalo 1 againkantackistanRgames, early on there were some experiments on adding netplay to the original version. The end result was... underwhelming. There were more than enough sprites to go around, but at 240p the screens were too small to share with other players. and if you couldn't see what everyone else was up to, it really didn't feel like multiplayer.
Most importantly, there just wasn't a "market" for it. The demographic of "I have 1-3 friends in the room who also have Smilebasic on their 3DS" is really small. And if you really did want to compete with them, all you would have to do is press start at the same time.snail_Power UserQSP Contest 1 Contest ParticipantI participated in the first SmileBASIC Source QSP Contest!HelperReceived for being very helpful around SmileBASIC SourceAchievementsAmazing ContributorSomeone thinks I'm an awesome person who has done so much for the community!AchievementsThis is great, but it seems very hard to introduce the mechanics to people who haven't played Virtual. Playing solo is the easiest way to learn. Will there be a Virtual port? kantackistanSorry if I wasn't clear - You can still play Versus Buffalo solo.
