Hey all you SMWC goobers, and welcome to the WIP thread for my first genuine hacking project, SuperSkye: The Legacy!
Well, first of all, many of you will probably read the title and think "SuperSkye? What's that?" Don't worry, I'll explain. The first thing I'll tell you is that it's certainly not my concept, not by any means.
SuperSkye was a computer game that was created by a team called RunninRiiz back in early 2001. It starred a character named Skye Electra- a laser gun-wielding space girl fighting an invasion of bloodthirsty, warmongering, princess-stealing robots. Pretty cool, huh? Well, the sad thing is, the project was never finished. RunninRiiz leader Reese Davidson scrapped the project in 2002, and nobody on the Internet ever got a chance to play it.
As you might have guessed, this hack is a thoughtful homage to the original SuperSkye. It's meant to be what SuperSkye always could have been, but of course never became. Hence its name: it's a living legacy of a great game that unfortunately could never be released.
Here's the hack's plot:
The planet Skaylia, seventh in the Catholia system. A world where technology flourishes and peace reigns. Having united long ago under an unbreakable pact, its countries are united. War seems an impossibility... until they came.
Megacorp, an evil organization from another dimension, came to Skaylia by means of the Flumes, interdimensional tunnels accessed through gateways built by a Skaylian scientist. Led by the robotic tyrant Zyclon, they sought to take over Skaylia. Megacorp launched a brutal attack on the unsuspecting planet.
It has been one month since Megacorp first came. Almost all of the planet's citizens have been evacuated. Megacorp's troops patrol every inch of Skaylia, slowly crushing out the last resistance. All hope seems lost. But it's not. There's one last hope for the planet, and it lies in a single girl.
Skye Electra, a former agent of the Intergalactic Police Force, has been recruited to fight against Megacorp by the Skaylian Resistance Force, the small organization created to fight Megacorp. Her skills in martial arts and parkour make her up to the job, but can she really take Zyclon down and save Skaylia? It's time to find out... if she can't put a stop to the invasion, all hope is lost.
Got that? Because I really don't want to say this twice.
Okay, just joking. But anyway, here are some screenshots I've taken of the game.
And here are the planned worlds:
World 1- Viridian Valley
World 2- Isle Royale
World 3- District of Hounour/Everdene Forest
World 4- Watersong
World 5- Brumal Basin
World 6- La-La Land
World 7- Lusitania
And let's not forget...
The game's very well-hidden Secret World- The Last Hope

Oh, and as for needing help, I'm currently not asking for it from anyone. But if any of you are interested in helping out, I won't deny anything. Just send me a PM and I'll hook you up.
