Tip: If you're using the wall-running purple triangles in your hack, remember to add Tile 1EB (or a tile that acts like Tile 1EB) underneath it. Extended object 44/45 will include this tile for you.
Day 1 - Reporting Ordeal's Progress since SAGE 2020 Ended.
Titlescreen by Deeke, combining the composition of two other previous titlescreens Neweegee and Kixune made for this hack.
Now for next level...
Aeolian Blood Moon - Revised by me, VLDC9 level I made with levelengine (rip) that is going to be used for the first level of the Realm of Nightmares world of Ordeal.
Skull Scale
Featuring Jack-o-Chucks by Eminus and the Blood Blargg by Sinopolis Mawboi (who also did the soulwater seen in the Blood Moon level) for the first level on the main path of Ordeal in the summit world. It's also slippery.
And lastly for now,
Fall Frolic's cutscene sequence is almost done so im showing 3 selected scenes from it. Thanks to Leg8cho (first 2), Mikeystar & Sinopolis (sketch of the forest & coloring, respectively).
Day 2 will come, and I will have more to show by then.
-------------------- On Pixel Art Requests: I generally do not accept work unless I either have the time, if I see your project worth my time to contribute towards, and that is usually me doing the approaching to you on that.
-I also do not accept speculative work as I do have various art I made on-hand with me.
-I am more receptive to equivalent exchange of resources in which case, you can DM me wherever I have an active presence on for the details.
-Other times I'm availible for your project is C3 request threads I may run.
Now a preview...I will say that it is not for ordeal.

I have been working on a side hack when not working on Ordeal, time to reveal what that is today.
Titlescreen graciously done by Deeke.
(note - a separate baseROM without Redrawn Mario is used for the testing and coding of this beetle).
Initially this was supposed to be a 12-level hack but I didn't have enough time to prepare any of the other assets and on account of the availability of the artists. So what you are likely to get very soon (cant say if it will be released on day 3, so no guarantees) is only the boss fight which is a little more than halfway done and tbh, that's the main dish.
Credit for this boss and the rest of assets used - anonimzwx for the coding (uses DynamicZ), Mecha Cat Boi & Skewer + amHunter for the boss graphics and its associated parts, and Kixune for the arena graphics.

This looks amazing, great job! I really like the cutscenes, I like your style, good stuff! I would point out the things that look good, but that would be everything. The foreground, background, enemies, Mario.. everything. There's nothing more to say.
Keep up the good work, I hope you'll release this one day (both projects)!
I swear that boss is the most delightfully evil thing I've seen in a Mario hack considering the infamous reputation Warmech has in the Final Fantasy series.

Four games off from FF1, but thanks. This is going to be a hard boss to fight.

Day 3 - A Small Selection of Music Specifically Made For Ordeal That Is Being Used.
Ordeal also has a selection of music specifically composed for this hack in order to help with its identity from the rest with a collection of music from various indie games that have music fitting for the haunted aesthetic Ordeal has in spades.
Three scenes, the flaming crystal orb is done by Mikeystar, while the castle with and without Boos by Leg8cho, for another cutscene sequence that takes place mid-game.
Im sorry that I wasnt able to have demos out as I would have hoped but I am making it a priority to have one out at least, by around Halloween of this year.

Gotta say, while I'm not a fan of Redrawn, I love how you make it look great, TDW. The aesthetics on your hack are the biggest selling point. Also, I love the style of your cutscenes, I find quite charming and unique.
And very nice selection of musics. I love seeing Odallus getting some recognition. Same can be said about Bloodstained. Good luck with your hacks.
Wow... Your hacks looks so freaking amazing! I love how you make a good use of redrawn and casual graphics, also that reference to pumpkin hill from Sonic Adventure 2 is cool!
Now about your second project, the number of attacks in your boss, it's very diversified and I like that!
It's always good to see progress on this project of yours. I really like how it really embraces the darker and spooky themes as it makes it really refreshing compared to hacks that go with the main standard themes.
I like how most if not all of the levels look unique from one another.
The title screen looks mint. Like really sets a good first impression for whoever boots up the hack and sees that as the first thing.
