* Golden Yoshi Returns!

Link Thread Closed
First of all, to anyone who hasn't noticed, I'm Golden Yoshi/Steven.

Secondly, and more importantly, I am here to present my latest YI hacking project, Golden Yoshi Returns!

What exactly is this hack? Well, I'm doing it a bit differently this time. This will be a mini-hack, and instead of containing multiple worlds stuffed with levels, it will contain one very large and challenging level. My goal is to make the longest YI level ever!

Oh, and also, you will play as Golden Yoshi. Woohoo or something!

Some early screenshots:



A predictable flowery, happy-go-lucky beginning...



Oh shit! Kamek, goonies, and torpedos all in one screen! AHHHHH!

These are two screenshots of the level. Given the fact that I can stuff as much into this level as I want without worry, I'll be going with several environmental themes.



And there's a screen of the new level icon, courtesy of Kc. Thanks, man :). Also, ignore the glitched Yoshi on the bottom map for now.

No estimated release date, just be patient.

I'll update this as I go along, although I probably won't reveal all that much.
The first screenshot is based off of "Floral Foe Frenzy" from your April Fools' screenshot, right?

No, but it's got the same FG/BG.
Alright, A single-level YI hack! Sounds like a blast. I've always like single level hacks.

Anyway, the screens look great, but i can't expect less from you, Steven.

I'm lovin' that icon Kc drew as well.

Oh. Well, you could see how I could be confused.

KC didn't draw it, he edited it from the "Cave of the Lakitus" icon. (I recognize these things, you see.) It's still very good, though, and my custom icons are edits too so I'm not one to complain.

Edit: Closed that pesky </div> tag, slamming it to make sure the red text knows of my displeasure.

Who cares? He did a fine job regardless.

Yeah, that's basically what I said.
Looking great, Jacob! I never thought you'd make another YI Hack!Free counters!
@Jeorge535: Well, one level is very less work than a complete hack, it's a mini-hack as Golden Yoshi said!

@Jacob: Nice idea! Will the level have a sewer area, too?
NEW! SMW2 Yoshi's Island is done!

Most likely not. Those are still too difficult to make. :\
Lol? I think, they're actually pretty simple... (I don't want to sound like a show-off by the way :P)
Maybe you could make a small sewer bonus room or something. Your level could clasp all of the tilesets this way. That'd be a nice variety. I already saw, that you use tilesets 03 and 07.

If you are really Steven, why are you "Jacob"?

Who cares? I made this thread to discuss my hack, not my username.
Annnnnnyway...

I was very pleased when you mentioned that you might be doing a small ROM hacking project, even though you said at one point that you were quitting forever. I had a feeling it was YI before you told me, and it looks like my hunch was right. Awesome.

I do like the idea of a very long level with multiple environments. I still think it's going to be difficult placing the middle rings seeing as how large the level will be. I'll be one of the few who will definitely try beating it without save states, so I hope the difficulty doesn't get too ridiculous. Heh.

Nonetheless, I'm looking forward to this, as I was with all of your other projects. It is sure to be great.

You should know by now I'm the most indecisive member here. I've also said I'd never make another SMW hack after that last one. That likely means I'll make 2 or 3 more. ;)

It will be quite challenging trying to balance the difficulty of the level. More than anything, I'm just trying to make a long level, not one that's insanely difficult. I'm trying to distribute the midpoints after the toughest areas in the level. We'll see how it turns out.
Yum! Them Screens look juicy, man, I usually don't pay attention to YI hacks much and rarely play the game, but I've promised myself I will play this when you finish ( or if you need it beta testing ;-) ) because I prefer smaller hacks rather than huge ones with like 80+ levels, I'll especially like this as it's 1 giant level ;-)

I'm with SNN here, I'll definitely try this hack without savestates :)

Its looking ace, matey!

Good to hear, hopefully this will spark your interest in playing YI hacks. If not, oh well, at least you would've played this one. ;)
An early screen of a castle area. Not much added to it yet, I just setup the general feel of the area.



It's supposed to be an outdoor castle taking place in a sky area.

I'm taking my sweet time with this. I'm trying to plan out some interesting sections, including this one.
Looking forward to play this. Sounds promising and I loved your other YI Hacks. And 1 long level is quite different than the other YI Hacks out there.

Good to know you didn't quit. :)
so Is this hack has only 1 or 2 long levels?
