Nova's Quest

Standard

A hack starring my character, NovaYoshi.
If you have RP'd with me in the fast, you have probably seen him.
I still have a LOT of work to do... and the hack isn't too completed yet, but I have some screenshots to show my progress so far...
Keep in mind that what you see here is likely to change... afterall, it isn't finished yet...

The title screen so far, I still need to work on it a bit...

The first world, a little tropical island.

I replaced the font with the one from the Commodore 64 Shoot 'Em Up Construction Kit, but I have yet to replace the Message Block font section with the new characters...
I've implemented a flutter jump that you can find in the Patches section...(Though, at the time of this writing... not moderated yet)
My ASM isn't as great as Killo's, but it's good enough for a few new enemies, like the wall climber sprite I made...
My graphics are not too great yet, and a lot of them aren't edited yet...
My level design is probably what I'm best at, I remember Giga liked that castle level I made...
I might reuse a few levels from old, abandoned SMW romhacks of mine that I've recovered from my backups of the harddrive crash a few months ago, and some of the levels are just too good to put to waste...

More to come!
Whoa....Giant blue square with green blocky text isn't good,and the palette of the OW is too bright.Also,look at the northern corner of the main island.There are little brown ground parts on the end,you should change that.

Another thing.Why is there a Red Yoshi on the OW,but,on the top of the screen,the Yoshi is green?(lol,rhyme time)

When I get time, I'm going to make a new title screen, but this works for now... The original SMW had minor graphics flaws, too, like rounded blocks underwater with the background showing through the edges... I'll try to get around to fixing them, but I'm focusing more on my levels first before fixing little details like these...

I haven't figured out how to edit the Overworld Mario sprite's pallete yet...
I stopped reading at "Roleplay".

Judging from this shot, your graphics could use a lot of work. They're far too blocky and flat; try shading them and... practicing... a lot.
Also, change the OW palette so the bridge is a better colour than green.
I'm a dirty heathen. Anyone have a Christian baby for me to eat?
If I play it in the night I'll get blind. Make it darker. Also, the title will be cutted in the File Select menu.
Now I leave my IPS patches of my hacks for everyone play and edit as you want to.

Bramble Invasion & Surreliatus

No... it doesn't. Even the original little letters that were in smw would be better than that

What part of "it works for now", aka it's temporary, don't you get? He'll fix it later, he's fully aware of the fact that it doesn't look good right now. <__<

I took that into account, and moved the title until it no longer got overwritten with the file select...
[edit] In the screenshot above, isn't the File Select showing?
And the pallete... the game's supposed to look bright and cheery, and this was the way I did it with...

Bright and cheery? Ever look at the original SMW palette, that's plenty cheery. This? This is just eye-searingly bright.

That's right.This kind of bright palette blinds people like hell.You should REALLY make it darker.
Oh teah
The Title Screen looks weird, and the OW is too bright. Do you have some level's screenshots?
Fierce Deity is cool.
Workin' in OW request...
Currently attendind Scape Santa, but I don't know what to do...

I'll try and get some ready...

Also, I'll work on making the pallete less blinding...
Holy... Ok really, you need to change the intro blue box with cutoff greeny text. It just looks bad (SORRY!)

Thoughts on your overworld: I think the greens a little pale, or the blues a little bright, tone the blue down or brighten the green. Your a little abusive with trees. Use a few other decorations. Also the star world should be a BONUS not something you get when you beat the castle. Fix these flaws and I think it'd be a LOT better.

I changed the Star World into a little hub from which you get to all the other worlds. You just start in the first one...
