Progress on my main hack has been slowing down a little, and I had an idea for a mini-hack. This is a short, 3-5 level hack called "Mario's Part-Time Job", in which Mario works as a pizza delivery man for a restaurant called Toadellini's. In each level, you have five minutes to deliver a pizza to a specific customer. The big catch is that you actually have to carry the pizza the entire way. And if you miss the deadline, you're fired! Yup, that's how intolerant Toadellini's is. Each level will bring you to a variety of environments as you try to reach the customer in time. I know it's going to be a short hack, so I want to make it as enjoyable as possible by adding tons of twists and gimmicks. Here are the pics:
Here's the restaurant. It's still very beta. The GFX are completely hand-made by me, save for the Toads. I did, however, make their hats.
Heh, not too much business, I guess.
When you pick up one of the phones in the first pic, you'll see a cutscene in which a customer orders a pizza. I'm still working on those. Once the cutscene is finished, the delivery will begin.
This is the city that you start at in each level. You can also see the pizza that Mario has to carry.
Things can get dangerous in the city.
Keep the pizza away from hungry civilians, or they'll eat it in one bite! The customer should be the only one to get their hands on the pizza!
Here, Mario is inside one of the buildings. Even there, deadly obstacles can pose a problem.
A subway? That should be interesting. Remember to guard the pizza from those gluttons.
That's what I have so far. All of the screenshots in this post are from the first level, which is the only level that takes place entirely in the city. The other levels just start in the city, then move on to different environments. Comments would be appreciated. More to come soon!
