This game is pretty awesome. I enjoy it but was curious on one thing. Wouldn't this be sorta copyrighted? At least the sprites or did you have Nintendo's permission in making this? I know that some fan made games were being developed ( remake of chrono trigger anyone?) were shut down fairely soon before releasing the game. So my real question here is it okay to release games that contain other games sprites and things of that sort? As long as it's not commercial right? or how does the terms go about this. Thanks.

The game does use Nintendo's IP and graphics, but it is not used for financial gain like most fan games/art/fiction.  We understand that Nintendo has the right to send a Cease and Desist to us, and we wouldn't fight it.  But we believe that what we're making doesn't A)damage Nintendo's brand and B) doesn't pretend to be an official game.  

Most RPG Maker games do use assets/graphics/music from official games (mostly SNES JRPGs for that matter) if they don't use only the RTP.  For better or worse, the practice is integrated into the community.  

Generally, most major video game company's don't care if you release a fan game.  C&D's are extremely rare and they only happen to games that somehow reach mainstream video game coverage, if at all.  

I hope that answers your questions a bit.

That gives me hope in making a Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire fan game :3

Absolutely amazing work, btw. Just wow!

Did you know Mario RPG Lost Souls ?

It's like your game, but in french

Oh yeah. I saw a youtube video of this months ago. I didn't know it came out. Oh, I see it's a demo

We've actually played OmegaBowser's old Mario rpgs too. While we were making Seven Sages, we saw his/her games, like R.A.P. and the Wario/Waluigi one. Even though it was in French, we played it and it was really impressive. It seems he's started a lot of games and put out demos, but I'm not sure any Mario RPG was finished. I'll definitely give this one a shot.

This is absolutely brilliant, I know that the SMRPG was a huge fan favorite glad to see you worked so hard on this! I love the project definitely going to give this a play when I get some time. The sound effects and the graphics look and sound great! Way to be consistent and thoughtful! Great job!

Couple hours of work. Might use in my game as a secret find or something. Not sure. Fancy though no? :D
Holy stink, where have I been? Well, I started my temporary job this week. So less time to spend on game design... :(
Cartoonier cloud cover that better fits the art style, as well as (slightly) improved blending/fading... fading clouds when there are larger patterns is still somewhat abrupt for some reason.
Do you Find Tilesetting or Looking for Tilesets/Plugins more fun? Personally I like making my tileset for my Game (Cretaceous Park TM) xD
How many parameters is 'too many'??
