SMW Cubed!

Hi guys- I'm a newbie hacker and I have started work on a hack! I have a release date of Christmas it because I work slow. It is called:

SMW Cubed!

The plot right now is secret- if you must you can read it!


This hack will be a short, maybe 2 or 3 world hack, and right now I have about half of the first world done! Picture time!

Level 1- Forest Pass
This level is ment to be a basic introduction- as you can see!



The first "forest" area is littered with clappers! Oh my! Oh, and P-Switch bridges!


This is now the "pass" area!
Now to end the level!

Now, my overworld will be short edits of others- as you can see here!

Now, a quick sneek-peek at the second level!

I hope you liked this sneek peek, and the next update will be in a week when the second, third and fourth levels are finished! For now, tally-ho!

Yup, that's not any bad for a starter! The hack looks simple, even though well made. Naturally, there are things that could be improved though:


I don't like the way you stacked these pipes with munchers. That's ugly and also useless (because they never reach you).


It's not a good idea to make anything blatantly. Start them from scratch, I'm sure you can do something decent taking some effort. ;)


Not so much of a problem, but it's a weird way to use piranha plants. o_O

Also, that's not related but change on ZSNES the format of the pics from BMP to PNG; it loads quicker.

It's easily the best thing I've done
So why the empty numb?

Pretty good! A couple things though:

1. What Austin said.

2. More decoration, please.

3. Try not to do many P-Switch bridges. They can get annoying and can ruin a level if you drop one.

4. You don't need so many munchers.

5. Put some thin pipes in front of the very large ones, or Mario will be able to get caught inside. Take a look at 105, for example.

Other than that, good work!

Thanks guys- I'm working on redesigning some of the first level!
Just to also note- a small 1-World demo will be out soon! Stay tuned!

Oookay... no replies... maybe a short update might loosen the air- tomorrow I will show my title screen and the second level,so stay tuned!

I'm never making a new overworld!

I guess blatant edited overworlds are not good as Austin said. Just make a new OW with decorations and no perspective errors.
I guess munchers on ledges that can be passed under them are also considered floating munchers. Not really a problem, I may be wrong, though.

If you're new, or have a hack that's outside the norm, no one will pay any attention. My hack barely ever got any replies, still doesn't, and I've been here since June.



I wouldn't think so.

Hi again! Today I have some pics of level 2- Tunneling Route (a cave level)!

Just before we start- here is the main menu (demo movie pending)!

And here is the updated level 1 area- thanks guys!

Right- now for the actual level!


Now let's go underground!

Oooohh... it's pretty!


It's bone full!

Wheee!

1-up!

Out!

To the end!


Hope you enjoyed this preview- in about 3 days time I'll have the next update- see you then!

SPOILER:

Looking good!



Is it just me or is the palette bad?



This looks a little too much like a grassland level underground. Same with the rest (except for the bones of course).



I REEEEEALLLY hope you used the Fade Fix Patch, because Tides don't work with the Goal Tape (screws up the fade out)

Other then that looks good (except the ending segment looks a bit like a blatant edit of Level 3). Keep it up!

Thanks- and no, not yet, I have not used the Fade Fix Patch, yet anyway- and here is another spoiler- and ASM related one!

SPOILER 2



Plus- tomorrow you will be able to download a spoiler demo- I hope you will enjoy it!


EDIT: Edited the ending to a better way to grab the 5th Yoshi Coin- sprite buoyancy was screwed over!

Um... this has always been a palette of the original Super Mario World. I don't think it looks bad.



I think this screenshot looks like a blatant edit of Yoshi's Island 4. Other than that, the whole hack looks pretty good, keep it up!

---

Well, it really isn't a blatant edit of 102, it is really a different level, as I did do Control + Delete, so really it isn't.

Just as a question- are you looking forward the demo in 15 hours?
(We've got a timer!)

EDIT: Not really, read new post!

Sure. When the demo is released, I'll play through it.

---

Hi again! Now, since I finished early, I have a DEMO of SMW Cubed for you! Yeah!

This demo includes Forest Pass (Level 1) and Tunneling Route (Level 2)- please ignore the screwed up ending in Tunneling Route- I'm working on it!

Go to: http://bin.smwcentral.net/u/21165/SMW%2BCubed-%2BDemo.ips to download your FREE demo! I hope you enjoy it and please comment below on it! I might release another demo if I get good feedback!

Peace!

Flop to victory!

I've played this hack and I have to say - pretty good! A few things I noticed though:



If I try to get those coins, it looks like there is an off-screen ledge though it's not, leading to my death.



A little hard to get those coins as Big Mario.



Cutoff under the pipe.

Thanks- I'll fix them all, when I start work on Level 3 tomorrow.

Wow! I didn't notice! Thanks- I'll work on that!
