Vanilla Exploration - One hour of fun, one long level... - Works in Progress

I will allow for people to submit level(s) to put into this hack, sice this could turn into a collab hack.
Introducing my newset hack focus 'Vanilla Exploration', this is a hack which is COMPLETLY Vanilla with all sorts of diffrent themes and coloures.
My main focus of this hack is the lenght of the entire level conjoined, which i plan to be more than an hour of Gameplay.
The vanilla purpose of this hack is to amuse the player though the gameplay, becuase lets face it, having to play 1 long level with only the same varity is boring.
As you will se below were i'll post the pictures, show the game structure in the early stage of development.

As i mentioned earlier, i will allow for people to submit levels, so if you are planning to / currently make a level, lease take a look at the criteria to know what to work around
Level Criteria:

- Each level MUST be only 1 theme, but not 1 colour.
- Each level MUST be 10+ screens long,
- Each Sub-level MUST be 3+ screens long.
- It must be TOTALY VANILLA (No little ExGFX).
- If you use custom 16x16 titles, please tell me what there properties are.

Now with this hack, you can create your own custom palette, just send me the level with the palette installed already. However, if you dont want to / dont know who to make a custom palette, i will leave 8 palettes below that you can select from to have as your palette.
Pallettes:

Palette 0 - Calm Plains

Palette 1 - underground

Palette 2 - grassy Landscape / Forest

Here is some progress of the hack:

And again, this is a work in progress.

Looks good, nothing like a long level to play through. There will be different themes right?
(Normal,Ice,Desert,Space)

Yes, that will be one of there main features. (i forgot to mention it ) Such as Forset, Plain, Water, Underwater, Lava, Castle, and any others that will come across my mind. It will need to be like this since it is going to be ATLEAST and HOUR long. EDIT: Ice	Hey you! Check out my SMW Blog! Ok, maybe a bit dead Also, Visit my Youtube Page!

Sounds good. Alos with your first bunch of screens there are very few sprites and blocks. Add some more

Thtas fine. Just make sure the player wont get bored seeing as its along level.
Im keeping my eye on this thread.

I played a hack that was 1 level long, but it had 32 sub-levels, and took me over an hour to finish.

Also, is the whole hack's forground color going to be grey?

Also, is the whole hack's forground color going to be grey? of couse not, otherwise the player would lose intrest in the level if there was only 1 palette.	Hey you! Check out my SMW Blog!

Everything looks nice, except the hole here, it looks a bit...odd.

EDIT: level up!

Looking good! And I agree with ManuMaster654, the hole is somewhat strange. But I can't see anything else to complain about.

Good job with the vanilla hack so far!

I would just like to say, nice job with all of this. Also, about the hole that people are talking about, it looks a little funky because of the platform to the right of it and the pipe beneath it, I'd say just add a little something in there where it doesn't look so bare.

Give Mario some love?~

Floating dirt? It isn't bad to change it, but it looks a bit odd. Apart of this, great updates.

I believe it would look a lot better if you made the bushes and the mountain background gray to fit with the foreground. Otherwise, it looks pretty nice.

ya know i'd finally lie to comment on this after so long of watching this thread

ya know tbh i realley like this hack from the screenshots... the floating dirt gives u somin to look at and adds to the patterned shape of the dirt around it and i actually dont mind the look of it, the dirt that was infront of mario reminds me of a switch palace from VIP 5 and it was realley fun to play, so thats not a bad thing, and as i see the screenshots it looks like the player is not going to get bored. i mean the palletes are the same but if u can change the half way through pallettes but but slowly blend them through level that would be amazing, but really if its all one level then it'd be ideal to keep the pallettes due to the theme it could create.

truly i feel strongly on this very small criticism, still take it all in and use it but this is my view on it so far, i am looking forward to this hack

EDIT: just realised how long that was, lol bible bashed

Hey Brad, looking good and i hope i do you proud
