[@rainbowthedragoncat6768]

@Angel [ROBLOX KZbinr] There's a 3DS game that's just that

[@xmarksthespot1372]

Wow, I didn't even think about it like that lol.

[@gaymerjerry]

@Angel you mean mario and luigi paper jam?

[@ashercd6487]

Fun fact: the normal characters in M&L:PJ are 2d sprites, while the paper characters are 3d models

[@BoundaryBreak]

I see a lot of people asking "But WHY is it in 3D?" I previously did a similar episode of Shovel Knight where the games lead programmer reveals that answer very well. Heres the link to that answer with the time stamp. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJuof56qo8d2l6c

[@DrEmmettBr0wn]

Well thats not 3D is 2.5D .

[@adirblazkowics7717]

@@DrEmmettBr0wn 2.5D would be something like really oldschool Doom, where it uses a 2D engine to create the illusion of 3D. This game uses flat graphics, but they are on 3D planes, so its' 3D.

Enter the Gungeon is 3D pretending to be 2D as well! It allows for some nice visual effects

[@maiku3741]

Me too man this was a masterpiece in my opinion

[@xmarksthespot1372]

It's so strange seeing it like this. Strange but interesting.

[@zigaudrey]

The remake pushes it even better. By having all separate elements and animate them to make a character. I though they used 3D model to make sprites, Mortal Kombat-style. I wonder how they are making sprites quickly or they takes time, I don't know. Games that have development depth are those which has more value and passion. I miss these.

[@supermariohack3218]

Huh, i'd never thought that this game runs on some sort of 3D engine.

[@TommyDeonauthsArchives]

I don't think *anyone* would have thought that BIS was made in a 3D engine...

[@rey.jazzzzy]

why even make it this way? you'd think it'd be easier to just have everything be totally flat but then again i don't design games so i wouldn't know

[@jazzapplecider]

@@rey.jazzzzy When you're making a game with a lot of layers, you end up also making a huge list of them that you have to page through, say, whenever something involving them goes wrong that you have to figure out. On top of that, depending on your workflow, you may even have to reboot the game every time you think you might have found the problem layer, or you have to program a debug interface for it, etc. The developers here found an interesting "hands-on" approach that lets them just see how the layers are working, rather than just staring at windows and tabs trying to work the math out. Layers are a nightmare, especially if they're primarily for just graphics, because that's one of the last steps in development, and adds a whole section to the game engine. Hope this explanation helps.

[@P4INKillers]

@@rey.jazzzzy Because all hardware accelerated games render with polygons.

[@julianx2rl]

I always noticed how each part of the characters's bodies seemed to move independently. Like one of those flash animations, but I thought they where pre-rendered, but no according to this video, the sprites are actually made out of multiple pieces.

Yea tbh it didn’t need one, partners In time deserved one since it came out super early in the ds life

[@billjohns5943]

If it were on the Switch, it would've sold like hot cakes I think.

[@TemmiePlays]

the remake was soulless, same as the Link's Awakening switch remake

[@tbtb66]

2:00 For people who want to know, the DS hardware is baby Using 3D gives them a lot more access to various things like multiple layers, fading, etc that you wouldn't be able to with 2D Usually 2D is reserved for when you don't need 3D at all (minimap in MKDS) since it's pretty limited in scope what you can do with it in terms of making games

[@Nintendude.]

So BIS was already 3d? _THAT_ disaster of cosmic proportions could have been avoided. (Rip AlphaDream)

[@Zeytrixx]

I’d love to get that plush!

[@Lung__]

You know, I never actually bought this game. Back when DS's were popular I found it on the ground and simply played it. I liked it until, like how I found it, It had evaded me and gone elsewhere.

[@Snaps12345]

Its cursed, you dodged a bullet

[@floatingf8783]

I also found a copy of the game on the ground, when I was in elementary school. It had no label, and was likely a bootleg as when I got to the part where Mario and Luigi get the Blue Koopa Shell, the game bugged out or glitched, even though Mario hit the block, it wouldn't open and the game wouldn't proceed.

[@Starspun5000]

Considering that Bowsers inside story is one of my favorite games of all time, the revelation that the whole game is in 3D was absolutely WILD to me.

[@stephens7136]

Technical note: the reason you could only rotate one screen at a time is because the ds can only render 3d to one screen at a time, and 2d to either one or both at once. Some games got around this by rendering each screen on alternating frames.

[@bobosmith101]

Man, all of these near-contradictory decisions make it look so difficult to work with...but it makes it run so smooth, and it actually looks great. *This* is why I love the art in the older M&L games, so much love and care is put into it.

[@ProfessorKhronos]

Shesez I can't tell you how happy this makes me. This was always my favorite game, and I can still remember the day I got it years ago. Not only that, but today is my 19th birthday. Thank you so much man, I know I'm still not allowed to say "back in my day" but this has really brought me back

[@Stimmtso4]

I Love how you talked about the plush like Three was something to Boundary Break: If you look at the back you can actually see that there is something The cap is on a completely different layer XD

[@peazeralus]

I do understand your side, but ^ is right: 2.5D may have 3D models, but if it operates on a 2D plane, it's still considered 2D when simplified.

Those squares are dev boxes to signify that bowser is in that direction to show which way your suppose to be in that scene

[@jackkraus6948]

I started programming a Mario and Luigi inspired game in GameMaker, which is a 2D engine, but I programmed a 3d collision system that worked by creating a series of coordinates to represent cubes that could be collided with. This allowed the player to go behind the geometry and jump around from platform to platform. Maybe I should try actually making something from that again lol

[@bethmoth22]

3:49 I think those sqaures were probably used by the devs to make sure Bowser's legs are flat when animating if his legs are individually seperate from his body, that way they could keep them level. I've actually done something similar to this before when animating legs to keep a point of reference

[@geb6970]

Man it feels good to see the boundary break of one of my most favorite game

[@SharmClucas]

I can explain a little about things being drawn that won't ever be seen on a sprite. It's easier to figure out what goes where and get proportions correct while drawing if you do the whole thing, plus, sometimes you just don't know how things are going to be used until the game is done. In some cases it's easier to do the work early and not have to worry if you've got 5 more pixels later than to scramble to fill things in every time some new problem comes up. Plus, things get handed off and you don't always get consulted on how to use things correctly, so it can be important to over engineer a little to make sure the designers don't mess up your art.

[@punkinnonstop]
