7 SHARDS
I need to get my ideas out and put them somewhere, so I'm putting them here.
This hack uses the coin counter patch, so there will be shops!
An evil witch takes over the land and gets 7 of her minions to keep hold of a shard of the key to her castle, the heroes of the game, a couple of teenagers, must stop the witch. You play as one of the teenagers.
World 1 - Snowy mountain top
World 2 - Rocky mountain
World 3 - Forest around base of mountain
World 4 - Beach/seaside
--- Through a pipe ---
World 5 - Underground
--- Through a pipe ---
World 6 - Underwater
World 7 - Volcano
World 8 - The witch's castle
While fighting the witch, after damaging her a certain amount then there is a cutscene where she knocks you out of the castle, then a koopa sends the castle rocketing into the snowy mountain and into the heroes house.
World 9 - Snowy Crater
I may let out some details of the two special worlds of the game, but only if enough people are interested in this hack... feel free to guess, i'll tell you if you're right... but bear in mind, I designed these worlds, so they aren't from a game.
To reach world 11, you must complete world 10.
You meet a new character in world 10, and they also appear in world 11.
The character in worlds 10 and 11 created them and has complete control of them.
World 10 - ???
World 11 - ???
SCREENSHOTS
World 1
  
World 2
  
World 3
There will be screenshots here when world 3 is finished.

Screen 1: A little empty here. Some bushes and more objects are recommended.
Screen 2: There's some weird green in the status bar. Try to change it to black.
Screen 3: There are also bad status bar palettes.
Try to combine with those palettes. Some of the BG can mess up it...

Sorting out the status bar palettes could be a challenge, but I'll try. I'm going to add in some detail after finishing world 2, which will take up to 5 days, but probably a lot less, I would guess 2 days.

No luck with palette changes, the background uses the status bar palettes. There is nothing I can do to sort out the status bar palettes.

You're going to have to change the palette that the Map16 of the BG uses to fix the palettes. All you have to do is pick a palette not used by your graphics (between 0 and 7) and copy all the colors from your BG row to the new row. Its not hard, just a bit tedious, but hopefully it will be worth it.

Thanks DarkBones, I'll see if I can sort those status bars out. (Yoshiatom should be able to remind me exactly what to do, as usual)

Or if you don't plan on editing the status bar, you could download the "Sprite Status Bar" from our database.
The hack looks okay, but the idea behind the plot seems very out of date. I would suggest you rethink the idea of there being 7 shards (already seven Chaos Emeralds, Dragonballs, and 7 other things in many other hacks, and the idea of shards has been used in 3 or 4 hacks already).

The 7 shards are 7 shards of the key to the witch's castle. The name of the hack will probably change over time anyway, but I'm going to keep the forum as "7 SHARDS" for now. I don't think anyone has done 7 key shards before, but feel free to prove me wrong. I'm going to check out the Sprite Status Bar on your database to see what it's like.

I've got it now, so I'll test it soon to see what it's like.
UPDATE!!!
Instead of 7 shards of the key, maybe there could be something else like there is a spell that has been cast, so the key doesn't exist as long as the witch's minions live... Has that been done before?

The name of this thread will change because of the story change from 7 shards of the key to the witch's castle being kept by her minions to a spell that stops the key existing as long as the minions live.
Any ideas for the name of the hack? Or is anyone able to help me design levels? I will probably have to get rid of a lot of my current levels, most aren't very good...
This is the main overworld:
This shows the levels that haven't appeared:
This shows the paths:
I WILL BE LOOKING FOR TESTERS SOONIS ALMOST FINISHED!

This hack isn't going so well. It may have to be cancelled.

Did you ask permission to use A Super Mario World Thing's overworld graphics? Not like it matters, it was cancelled five seconds later lol.
