The Sunset Shards (Tentative Title)(plot welcome)

Standard

Ok, so this is going to be my new hack, im still working on level 1. I havnt made the intro yet, because im still deciding on what to do. all i got are some screens of graphics and some parts of the first level. Ignore the glitched gfx :P. im just trying to make some gfx before i make my levels just for the first world. If you have any plot ideas, please make sure to make it around the sunset shards.

Mario was in his house watching the sunset from the window. After he was done watching, he decided to go to bed. Mario was fast asleep when all of a sudden he felt the ground shake, which woke him up. He put on his clothes, woke up Luigi, and then they went outside. They saw something shiny buried into the ground, and several shooting stars falling in different directions. It was a book encased in a meteor. Apparently, those shooting stars were actually Sunset Shards. The Original Sunset Stone was broken into pieces because the temple it was held at was invaded. The temple seemed to be in space somewhere. The two brothers then decided to go off on an adventure to find those shards. Now, their adventure begins...


Grass BG


Cave BG

Level 1

Heres Part 1 of level 1

Part 2

Ignore the music, i changed it cuz smwc finally went back up ^.^

Some castle gfx i made that i will use in this hack :3


Here is the ow with more ExGFX :D

I will post more screens later on :D i will try to work hard on this hack :3

I AM STILL MAKING THE STATUS BAR GFX. IF YOU COMMENT ON THEM I KNOW YOU DIDNT READ THIS
You seem to be pretty talented with simple graphics and such. It's nice to see that you're stepping over the bounds of ripped ExGFX and attempting to make your own custom stuff.

Nice work on the castle. I'm assuming you already know about the messy stuff in the status bar, as you made a note of that in your post, so I won't dwell on that. The overworld is also nicely designed. I'm not sure I fully agree with the really thick lines where the grass meets the cliff, but it doesn't look too bad. At least it matches the rest of your style.

Not bad. I like this so far.
I remember you showing some of your progress on IRC, and this hack looks to be quite good so far. It's already been mentioned, but it's nice to see you making custom graphics. I'm especially fond of the textures you're using for the grass, rocks, etc.

In terms of the overworld, I would actually say it may look a little better if the water was a bit paler instead of that deep blue. I think it'd fit in with the islands a bit more. Still, it looks very nice overall.
This looks very well done. I'm a big fan of simple graphics over really detailed graphics. (Probably why I love an untitled story)
You're overworld is very nice. I like the overall design of it.

Hahahaha, the grass bg is awesome. I love the munchers in the field idea.


Overall I really like how this looks. I will be following this as much as I can.

Looks good, I like the idea of all the different munchers...

The music choices are good, the Donkey Kong music matches...I guess.

And the BG's are amazing, I'm really liking them.

And the castle looks good. And the OW's GFX looks really detailed.

I'm liking this hack.

Keep up the good work. ;)
Looks good, except from the story being a Kirby and the Crystal Shards rip off.

WAAAAAH, KATCS RIPOFF STORYLINE!!! Kidding, I don't mind the storyline, it's really one of the least important parts of a hack.
Good fucking bye.
I got a WIP forest background :D
If you can guess what style the trees are you get a cookie with your name on it :3
It looks like I wanna be the Guy to me... That's my guess.

Regardless, I really like how it looks.

Guys, he already said that he's never played Kirby 64, so how could he now about it's plot if he's never played it? (Acually, I can think of a few ways...)

Anyways...

Awwww...Kristian stole my guess...:( Nah...JK, I'm guessing it's from Kirby's Dreamland, Whispy Woods Battle. Of course, It's in color...not Black & White.
I don't know which game, but definitely Kirby styled.

My YouTube Channel
I say Kirby DreamLand 3 and that BG is cool.
meh
Yup, it's kirby styled :D. I didn't even mean to make it like that but when i showed it to someone, i looked at it, then i thought about it :3.
Since i wanna be nice today, LinksPetYoshi, Neosz, and SonicBlu77 all get cookies :D
*me gives cookies to them*

That was me, me in the Screenshot thread, right?

This hack looks quite fascinating. I am loving the custom graphics you have got there - despite being rather simple, they are quite appealing.

As for the levels themselves, they look pretty interesting and unlinear, judging by the videos you showcased. I am really liking the small puzzles that are featured throughout the cave level - they surely make the level turn out more interesting and more challenging. The concept used in the first level is also nice, and I'm loving how Stickerbrush Symphony suits perfectly in that aura. ^_^

Keep up the great work, PercentN - I should actually keep my attention at this thread.
I think this bg is good enough dont you think?

I think this bg turned out pretty good :D. What do you guys think? :3
I like it.

Definitely has a good feel to it.

Nice work.

Good, but I don't exactly like the leaves(the fish shaped ones you added), they look too SMW-ish.

Also, you didn't answer my question!

The first person i showed my bg to (in fact, i show all my graphics to before anyone else) is Kyoseron :P. She helps me polish up my gfx with tips :3.
