Screenshot Marathon vs Latest Version

renzantar · Post » 03 Jan 2013, 23:35

I am new to playing this game, and it's fun, but I was looking at the screenshot marathon and noticed that there were a lot of features that are not in the latest version, like dynamic splitscreen (Day 13) and same-block portals (Day 24). Are these features meant to be left out? If so, why? They aren't game-breaking by any means, but I kind of liked the splitscreen aspect.

All development is waiting for SE.
Neither of those features made the cut.

Thank you. I was really confused about that.

I always wondered about same block portals, as I saw them in the old screenshots. Thank you for bringing them up. Are they in SE or scrapped altogether?

Pretty sure they are scrapped.

Really? I thought they were in based on this from the more recent screenshot marathon. I can see it happening a few times during it.

Same block portals, dynamic splitscreen and triangle blocks looked really cool but were scrapped to avoid pushing uncompleted features in Mari0.
Same block portals are fully implemented in SE. Dynamic splitscreen loses some importance with online multiplayer and I'd say triangle blocks are too hard to fit in with the rest of Mari0 and there is no plan for them to be reintroduced for now (tmk).
