Two genre defining games from completely different eras: Nintendo's Super Mario Bros. and Valve's Left 4 Dead 2. Those two games managed to give 2D platformers and first-person shooter games a solid place in the video game world. But what if Nintendo teamed up with Valve and recreated the original Super Mario Bros. with zombie hordes and new powerups?
Origins of the game:
On January 5th 2024, I got my very first look at the original Pixel Force: Left 4 Dead by Eric Ruth Games. Though this game is basically Super Mario Bros. 3 with the difficulty cranked to 15, I decided not to modify it's source code and instead shifted my focus towards recreating the original Super Mario Bros. with zombie hordes and new powerups as a downloadable Mari0 mappack. It was at this time the project assumed the name "Pixel Force: Left 4 Dead 2", sometimes known internally and within my note-to-self as "Left 4 Mari0". While playing another Valve game named "Portal 2", I began porting levels directly from The Lost Levels for fun. Despite the original Pixel Force: Left 4 Dead having two-player support for technical reasons, the Pixel Force reboot has four-player support like in later Super Mario games. And then I released the game on my birthday (May 9th) as a downloadable mappack for Mari0.
And now let's get this out of the way...
Q: Is that just an animation or an actual game?
A: This is an actual game. It'll be available for free download on Microsoft Windows around May 9th, 2024.
Q: How far along are you currently?
A: As of April 30th, I'm finished with the 7 worlds as well as a new powerup named the "Pistol".
Q: Does Valve know about it? And would they approve?
A: No, Valve doesn't know about it yet, but I'm sure (with their love of community creations) that they'll find this mildly amusing at worst, and very funny at best.
Q: Like your previous projects, did you make this one all by yourself?
A: With the exception of a few friends of mine on Discord, yes, the custom enemy coding, debugging, sound effects, music and tiles are all based on the original Pixel Force: Left 4 Dead by Eric Ruth Games and Super Mario Bros. 1, 2, and 3 by Nintendo.
Q: Would there be more videos that show off more of this game?
A: Maybe 1 to 2: but this is about it. If you need to see every world and fight every Koopaling like in Super Mario Bros. 3, then you need to download and play this.
This should about wrap that up. When more information becomes available, I'll try to display it somewhere else here. Thanks a lot everybody, and keep looking at it!
