So I decided to make a new thread for my hack "Super Mute World" in order to keep things organized. I wanted to wait till I had more progress from the new ROM to show off before I made any updates and now that I've made quite a bit of progress I figured it's about time to show off what I have so far. For those who are seeing this hack for the first time, Super Mute World is a sequel to Super Mario World: The After Years. and has been in development for a long time now. I made a lot of progress on it originally but I decided to restart the hack due to it becoming very disorganized making it difficult to work on and loss of inspiration which lead to me making a new ROM as well as taking the hack in a new direction.

Will fill these in as soon as I figure out how far I'm into each world. Also keeping the themes of the final world and the special world a secret for now.
Plans for the hack. (Old & New)
1. The hack will be around the same length of the prequel except there's a lot of optional content this time around making the hack more non linear. Also the levels will have more exploration to them and bonuses added in though not as explore based compared to the old ROM. (Also a good amount of the levels from the old ROM will be transferred or remade in the new ROM.)
2. The world's have gone back to the usual format though there are two worlds that have split paths. (The dialogue might also change depending on which world you completed first.) Also there are a few optional worlds as well as world's that can be accessed early though you might not to able to get far without doing certain events first.
3. The Super Metroid Health Patch will be used just like in the previous hack. This time around there might be some enemies that take more or less then the default damage which is 20 but there will be reserve tanks in the hack allowing you to take more damage as well. (Best of luck finding them!)
4. After receiving feedback/complaints about the prequel having too much dialogue and cut scenes I decided I will be dialing it down in this hack. There still may be some lengthy cut scenes for the important parts of the hack but you won't be overloaded.
Here are some more smaller details.
Yoshi will be a normal thing in the hack though he'll only be available in the level he's placed in as he can't be taken from level to level. He also won't always be required for the levels he's in. Yoshi/Dragon coins will also be more rewarding in the hack instead of just giving you a 1up. (Shall reveal as soon as it's implemented in the hack.) There also will be a recurring gimmick in the hack that's apart of the gameplay which I'll be showing off as soon as I get to a level that involves it.
With that large post out of the way it is time to show some screen shots and videos. I'll reveal the story as soon as I revise it some more.

Well, this is all I have to show for now. I'll have more progress to show soon as the hack is progressing well at the moment. In the mean time comments and feedback are always appreciated as I'm interested in hearing your thoughts!
