Luigi's Mansion Fangame

Hello dear community!

I’ve been working on a “fangame” for my favourite game of all time: Luigi’s Mansion for Nintendo’s GameCube!
I started working on it back in February! I showcased the game on the Luigi’s Bigger Mansion forum and built up a small team. The game was “cancelled” for a short time but I wanted to start on it again. :smile:

Now, here’s some info about the game contents:
It reassembles the Luigi’s Mansion Beta a bit.

You have a GameBoy Horror Timer:

You have a heatmeter, which indicates when your vacuum will explode:

You also have stereoscopic 3D with Red / Cyan glasses!

You can also enable controlling the player with the Nintendo’s Wii Wiimote via Bluetooth, an extra program and a script. The game has it’s own soundtracks now and the mansion is completely self-modeled. :slight_smile:

I’ll provide a download to the last public build. It’s not up-to-date anymore, but I don’t want to make any other builds for the public.

I also did development videos with some gameplay:

If you have any ideas, suggestions or need help, feel free to post it. :slight_smile:

From watching the videos it looks pretty solid :slight_smile:

But of course I’m sure you’re aware of all the things that come with wanting to make a fan game, so yeah, just be cautious and such.

I look forward to seeing more updates! :smile:

@FBTH Haha, thanks. :smile:
From the last video, alot of things has been changed.
I got, for example, a whole new mansion, at least the beginning of it. ^^
More and better animations do exist now, too. :smile:
I’ll also rewrite all the ghost’s AIs. :slight_smile:

Great! :smile: haha Jarvis, I like how he works in-game :slight_smile:

It does feel like a Luigis Mansion game too, thats why I will be watching this!

Be careful dude, Nintendo isn’t as lenient on fan games as other companies. If you emailed them right now, I am almost 99% they would advise against it.
If I were you, I would either find some way to make it a parody of Luigi’s mansion in some way, or keep the gameplay mechanics and swap out all the nintendo related stuff for original stuff.
Good luck.

@Warrior1424 Nah, I don’t think Nintendo will do much about it.
I don’t make any money from it and I don’t say I own the stuff I use from Nintendo. :wink:

@eriju @Warrior1424 does have a point, but there are people like PETA that did parody Pokemon and got in trouble, so it seems like it all is a risk. Who knows what they’ll think

I think PETA is a bit different than a fangame. :smile:
Also, the purposes are different. :stuck_out_tongue:

Can anyone help with that?

@eriju I can’t tell you how many people emailed Nintendo asking if they could do a fan game based off X, and got denied.

Why should I e-mail them? :eyes:
Also, what about the million Mario fangames? They all exist. :smile:

But this is getting a little bit off-topic. ^^

Today I want to figure out how to make the ghosts dragging Luigi around. Also, I need to find a way making them NOT spawn outside rooms. :confused:

Looks wicked. Luigi’s Mansion was quality!

I approve.

@eriju I don’t wanna see another fan game be abandoned because of complicated stuff. I really like this game so far, so I really wanna see it finished :stuck_out_tongue:

@FBTH Haha, thanks. :smile:
My small team and me want to see a final product, too! ;3
We also got the story figured out, the camera will get some fixes and improvements and a mini-game is currently in development. :smile:
A score system is also planned. There was one just at the beginning of the development, but I kinda forgot it. ^^’
And we have something like “costumes” planned, which means you can buy things like skins with the coins you collected. :smile:

Anything new? :slight_smile:

I haven’t done much the last weeks. I was ill and school began for me.
Well, I got some New ideas to make a better experience. I’d like to create like a connection to Luigi. I want cutscenes which are realistic in terms of Luigi’s expressions, etc. :smile:
