Ola the onion (Workin' on stuff for c3)

Standard

My hacking skills have grown very much while working at Mario the archaeologist (Play it, fixed version coming up)
So i´m starting on a new hack, it´s called Ola the onion. You play as Ola.
Story: Everything is peacefull in the garden but suddenly the weather changes, the sun makes all flowers, plants and trees wither. The only one left is Ola the onion. He knows that this is not done by nature, someone is lying behind this, so he starts on a trip to find him/her. It´s the gardens only chance.

So far it features:
Custom ExGFX and GFX.
Custom blocks.
Custom sprites.
Custom music.
I will maybe ask someone for a custom powerup.

Here´s some screenies of the first level and overworld. (after beting the second level, the overworld colors changes)


This is just a beta overworld, I will add more stuff, and I know mario is in the ow. I will change it (Oh, btw. Could someone tell me wich GFX file it is in?


Yup, that´s Ola.


I love this tileset, it´s made by Kyoseron.


(I know the water has got some wierd palettes, will be changed)
Water + onion=...


A flower :3 When Ola is having the fire flower powerup he shoots fire from the flower, and oh: The flower he´s talking to os a npc sprite. Isn´t it awsome looking?


Ola-coin?


That´s pretty much how far i´ve comed.
Oh, and here´s a video:

Comments?
EDIT: Video prosessing right now.
Clever plot. I like it.
I haven't given MtA a try yet, but the level design in the screens look promising, and I absolutely LOVE that tileset. It's in the ExGX section, right?

Mario's Nightmare Thread
I couldn't see the video, Youtube says that it's unvailable.

Anyway, the hack looks good, but to be honest, I didn't enjoyed Mario the Archaeologist. The level design is good, but the overworld is a bit... messy, I guess this is the word. This hack seems to be better than MTA, though. I also enjoy this tileset, it's very well-designed. :3

Here is my only complaint: Ola's graphics are too tiny, maybe you could make Ola bigger and add some details in her face, such as eyes and a mouth.

And also, Mario's OW graphics are stored in GFX file "GFX10.bin". ;)

TooManyToasters, yes, it's in the ExGFX section.
A "ruff" summer? I laughed.

Seriously, though. It looks really nice.
Perhaps Ola could be a bit bigger. A small protagonist is kind of nice, but that's just ridiculously small.
Also, for flower form, is there any way you draw the flower bent back while Ola is running or jumping. It just seems wrong, otherwise.
I'm a dirty heathen. Anyone have a Christian baby for me to eat?
lol, that looks pretty nice. And yes, your NPC is awesome looking, pretty much. :D
It's not even close to Halloween, and already Christmas Sales are starting early!
Thanks for all critisism and nice comments. :)
Here, I made new graphics:



Is he too cute?
Anyways, the yoshi/Ola coin is still the same.
Wow! that's really good, i like it, whats the onion (Ola) going to look like if you have a cape?
- ignore the watermarks, working on a fix for those
I don´t know. Haven´t thaught of it yet. I think i´ll redraw the cape or make a custom powerup of it, but it would look like this:

But it looks like it´s flying in the air sometimes.
think the cape going to be a leaf

also very original but dont but carnivorous ennemie

LMFAO

Anyway, my only real complaint about MTA was that the OW was, as Broozer said, sloppy. And there were places you could get stuck... As for your level, it looks great~ How did you fix the bounce block sprites on the smashable brick? What's the hex edit? Pieguy's patch won't work because my rom is too modified.
<-- this is the dope on dope
Just edit the graphics (GFX0)

Btw, how do I get rid of these?

I can´t find it in GFX32, are they in there?
The very top of GFX00 is a bunch of Mario's tips of his hands and feet. Just delete them all.
So basically, you play as an onion?
Interesting. Especially for the user on smwcentral, "onion"

Your layout has been removed.
Thanks Dotsarecool.
Troopa: Thanks, and I didn´t know :P
I will upload a video of the first level when i´m done.
Double post FTW!
Anyways, I need YOU to help me. I can´t come up with a clever new powerup that would work for a onion. Just brainstorm, but I can´t make my own powerups, someone good has to do it for me. I´m at the midway point at the first level, it has a secret exit :o. I´ve changed some of the graphics, the only thing left that I have to change is the "mario" and the "Go mario".
Btw:
This is how he looks like when he dies, awsome ey?
And are the smb3 munchers fitting with the other graphics?

And are the new sementblocks ok?

He could make enemies cry. Or, hm...oh man, french onion! Give him a beret! Don't know what the powerup would actually do, but hey.
There is French hacker here you know..
Make people cry? MEh, I don´t know. Maby he could shoot water or something from the flower...
Well, I know the beret is obnoxiously stereotypical, but I don't know how else you would indicate that. Anyway, French onion soup is delicious. Mmm.
