Good design and intro...
What the fireball was doing here?

I've been working on a major update of Super Mario Bros. 5 Reborn. I'll have new palettes, level improvements, more consistent sprite graphics, and two new custom songs.

New Misty Mountain Mines 1

I liked the concept behind the Red Switch Zone's palette, where it appeared as if the level was lit by the crystals that decorate the ground, so I decided to do something similar with the rest of the underground levels.

Tiki Island 2 with New Music
When SSHoPKC LPed my hack, he complained about the same song playing in too many levels, so I changed the music in Tiki Island 2 to my Adventure Island Level 1 port.

New Dry Ruins 2
Here, I darkened much of the FG/BG palette to give the level a more night-like look. I also added the previously missing fifth Star Coin and changed the music to my 8 Eyes Egypt remix/port.

I'm really looking forward to this Gamma! I really enjoy that hack and once it's done I will redo my LP of it. I only got 3 episodes in, then SSoHPKC saw it and well yea I put it on hold lol. Meh maybe it was just a coincidence. Anyway mine will be 100% (unless he did too I don't remember but it doesn't really effect mine) and also savestateless (not bragging or anything, I'm really no better then him, just more patience I guess lol). Also where is the music from in Misty Mountain? I really like that song.

Your layout has been removed.

Started a new project. Link. Hows it look?

@aterraformer: That's Slash Man's port of Lava Reef Act 2/Hidden Palace from Sonic 3 & Knuckles.

@wiiqwertyuip: Looks interesting, but I'd use S.N.N.'s port of that song if it's still available after the music database overhaul. It sounds a lot better. Look for "Sticker of Puyo Puyo."

Hot Rod: I have nothing but contempt for this court!

Hi guys!

I've been looking (lurking ;)) around for inspiration and motivation and seen some great content, so I thought I'd try push myself to get back into hacking, here's some GFX I've been working on to start with:

Going for a simple generic grassland look, still got tonnes to add to it, but feedback would be appreciated.

(By all means, this is not my best work, just something simple to get back into it)

It's just now I remember saying I'd LP your hack when you had stable internet. I guess I may as well wait for the updates... Or wait for a decent laptop/upload speed.

Either way looking good.

I have to say, despite being somewhat simple, those graphics look REALLY nice, especially with that gradient you're using. Very impressive work.

I really think this looks great! I mean, it's obviously simple, but I think that's probably the look you're going for with it. It sort of reminds me of graphics from early Sega and TurboGrafx games -- simple but pleasing designs with really nice palettes. The only part I would criticize is the clouds -- are they supposed to be part of the FG or BG? If they are the BG, I don't think they should have that bold outline. Either way, I think the shading is a little dark on them. But that's just me. In any event, it's great to see you doing stuff again. Hope all has been well in the interim.

[?] Miscellaneous Helpful Hints
If I moderated your hack, there was apparently a 90 percent chance it was rejected.

Kc, Looks like some Kirby GFX and some Sonic GFX had a baby. It looks really good man!

Also the gradient is nice to!

@ Kc: Nice to see something hack-wise from your side man, and it looks good too. I get the same kirby and sonic feel as 1UPdudes get. the only thing I would point out is the slopes, they doesn't quite follow the same pattern as the normal ground as there are more space between each grass wave-thingy. The 45 degree slope is kinda thin comapred to the rest. But really, sopes are really hard to make.

Also
I've just played around in Lunar magic for a little while now, it feels like
ages since I've touched that program. I made this for no reason...

Its a... volcano lotus hive thingy, only they are rather "poison lotuses"

Looks trippy as hell Uhrix. I like it.
The "poison" feel is good too and I like the general "vanillaness" of it. Nice work!

Working on my hack again; posted a concept video of what I want to do in the third castle of the game, located in the mines.

Can you notice the gimmick?

NOTE: This isn't going to be the final design of the level; it's all still in the very early beta stages.

You've only been back for so long, but you never cease to make awesome stuff.

One thing, though, you should try adding some sorts of plant overhang thing for the background of the level, as it looks sort of empty at the moment.
(ahh, I wish I was as creative as you...)

The first submap for my hack, which is still in progress. I obviously have to replace some tiles with castles/fortresses, but that's basically what it comes down to.

EDIT:
Can't forget the night palette.

@Neosz: That is awesome man! Great work! I really like the fringing of the scroll! Very nice OW Graphics great job! Did you do all of this yourself?

I don't know why but as simple as this level is looking I really like it so far. Thought I'd share for some opinions...

Its a little blurry but you can see it well enough.
