Been working on this for about 3 months now, felt like making a thread for it for whatever reason so here it is.
Current plan for this is to just design some levels (going for 40 to 50 levels total), no bosses or any real plot since I have a lot more fun designing levels so I'll just stick to that lol. Still not sure on what I'll be doing with the OW since I won't be making the levels in any particular order and don't really have any world themes planned so far, but I'll figure it out eventually.
The aesthetics are just so nice on the eyes. Despite how simple SMW is with its rather inconsistence style it really does seem to stand out in these screenshots.
The addition of the Beta Sharks is really cool too so I hope that you'll use other prototype elements as from what I have seen from said leaks there are a lot of things to work with.
Cut the fire snakes for shorter hopping sharks. Will probably still be using them in a future level since it's a fun sprite to mess around with, but I felt they didn't really add much to this particular level lol.
The progress shown so far looks really cool, I especially adore the mixture of vanilla and custom graphics. It all meshes great together, and the aesthetics are like the cherry on top of what I can only describe as a ROM hack cake. The level design appears to be quite fun as well.
40 to 50 levels in total sounds very ambitious, so I wish you good luck with this project of yours!
I love that quicksand in particular. The gradient darkness is really eye-catching and the color choices are really good. The animation's really nice, too.
Still working on the desert level, a lot more satisfied with it now. The sharks are tweaked dolphin disassemblies (as evident in the last GIF I guess lol) and the jellyfish are just reskinned Blurps.
I have a few more levels under work, but I haven't made much progress on them other than a rough outline of the overall look/gimmicks so I'll hold off on showing them right now.
