Tip: If it's possible to carry a tileset-specific sprite (such as a Buzzy Beetle or Bob-omb) through a pipe, make sure it has the correct graphics and sprite palette on the other side!
Hi again everyone, it's been a long time but I'm really glad to be back. I've gotten myself back into smw hacking again, and also have a potential new hack underway.
My ideas for this are a bit all over the place admittedly. It's going to be kind of a similar style to my old one. But trying to incorporate some more custom things to make it a bit more varied than how that one was turning out. The world themes are almost finalised, but I don't know if to include my story idea or not.
World 1 is going to be forest themed, but the 2nd half of it will be sorta different with it. The first 2 levels are done so far. These pics are from the 2nd level, Bronze Woods.
This level features Wrigglers as it's main enemy, the only one of this world that will do so.
And towards the 2nd half the level gets a bit more vertical and heads up towards the treetops. There's also a secret exit to be found too.
Since I was bored with most of my projects, i started making a new one. As of now, there is just a title screen and an overworld, with levels coming underway.
Oh and I decided it would be funny if every level had a Mega Man X song instead of something 8-bit sounding. (I'm a weird person )
Anyway here's the screenshots. I hope you enjoy my idea.
@Segment1Zone2
If you decide to use Mega Man X songs in your levels, make sure they will fit your level. A clash like this isn't half bad since there's not much 8-bit music available on this site. That's because a few people ever try to make 8-bit hacks.
Although kinda flat, the overworld map is looking good, however I'd fix that cutoff next to the icy island and maybe add icebergs.
As for the title screen, I would make the BG colors more distinctive to FG, but that's perhaps just me.
So small update, tweaked the background a bit on the title screen. Added Ice Shards in the water as well as a mountainous area. And made a little toad hut/hangout place.
The next step is choosing the UI, crafting a small story of sorts, and making the first level. Awaiting feedback, as always ;)
Upgraded the OW, Constructed a small setup story, Added text to some Toads, Title screen improvements, all around a nice update for the day.
I'm happy with what I've done so far. This will be a great hack. Maybe...
(Oh yeah btw, this might be a daily thingy, I think it still follows the rules so it's fair ;) )
Lots of love, S1Z2
PS: Might release this as a demo when I finish 3 levels, so stay tuned for that ;)
Heya. I started on this ROM hack in early 2019 but sort of just left it on the backburner after creating a few levels. I just recently decided to restart the project. It's definitely nowhere near as impressive as many others here, but it's still very early in development and I'm still trying to figure out all the different tools and whatnot.
@ExpitheCat
Looks cool so far. Maybe invest more time and reinvent the first level, because it's mostly flat. Adding bushes and greenery will make the ground stand out more, as opposed to now.
The Overworld could be improved upon a bunch. It's flat, like the level, adding more decorations will surely make it stand out more. Instead of Yoshi Houses at the edges of the screen you could've put trees, or make it a hilly area. Overall looks good, and I like how it's going.
Here's my take on your OW I made for fun. I hope you enjoy it. If you need help with anything, visit the Tutorials Thread or ask me via PM.
@Segment1Zone2: Good submap.
Showing 2 screenshots of my hack here as well.
New thwomps and thwimp and all-new organic fortress tileset.
The bad block has been replaced.
Feedback appreciated and there are also On/Off switches here as well.
I have released the first world completion of the newest YASMA (Yet Another Super Mario Adventure) demo that will (most likely) be done by New Years. Linkeroni
PS: Don't message me about the key thing in Night of the Moles, I fixed that already ;).
Lots of love, S1Z2

I'm making a Christmas/winter type hack for the recent festivities and I hope it's comes out by Christmas.
I am open to suggestions, feedback, criticism and the sorts. Happy Holidays!

Currently working on a new level for Christmas Island and I think it's looking good so far. It'll be called Muncher Ruins (Of course).
Your favorite object is now getting himself a new Ruins/Castle based level in the newest hack I'm making. Now I was wondering if this Ruins/Castle level should have a Mini-Boss of sorts. Maybe a Boom-Boom or another easy boss? What do you guys and gals think?

Please ignore the HUD, I think I know how to fix it i'm just lazy. Aside from that tho...
Layer 3 has been mastered hohehahoohehaoo
(at least as far as being used for decoration is concerned, not too excited for learning how to use layer 3 crushers lol)
Had to figure out that Layer 3 exclusively uses the first 2 palettes of the level all on my own since the tutorials I found on conveniently leave that part out. Looks like some tutorial updating is in order! I mean, it was pretty simple to figure out since even a dunce like me sleuthed it out, but total clarity in tutorials never hurts.

Did you cover this with graphics? Well, the background of the tutorial feels good, and before that, I made this kind of hack on my own, but it was a little bold.
If I want to listen to your concerns, I can solve them, right? Even if it's difficult, I can definitely do it from you.

I updated the picture.

Ah, bonjour, Mr Esc! You've been a while since, well... 6-ish years or something? It's nice to see you back. I remember you since 2011, when you had Ms. Accord from Puyo Puyo as your avatar. Oy! Fond memories.
By the way, loving your screenies so far, man! But I suggest you (in the 5th screenshot) to change the stem of the Classic Piranha Plant to the one used by the Upside-Down Piranha Plant (besides recoloring)? That kinda looks like a vine to me...
