Tracing back to September 24th of 2012, Dark Side of the Kingdom has blossomed from a motivator for disgruntled visionary Q-bee to one of the most popular team hacks on the forums. The hack specializes in showing off levels from users who haven't shown off major works, with 4 past leaders (including me) having showed off little of our hacks. After a lapse in activity after Q-bee snapped, I am now happy to say that Dark Side of the Kingdom is coming back for the summer and beyond.
DSotK features a rich and invigorating story about Wario. Wario has been called on by the IRS to pay off a debt that Wario cannot dream of. However, after Mario allegedly kidnaps Peach and heads south, Wario takes the opportunity to save the princess in exchange for cold, hard cash. Along with his snide muncher friend Alcy, Wario takes a trip through Mario's usual haunts until ending up in Heaven and Hell, where the plot twists and turns revealing a much larger force at stake. With Bowser snapping at his heels and a kingdom to save from economic ruin, Wario reigns triumphant.
This project is a large one - it uses the maximum amount of levels and exits that the original SMW features: 94 levels, 120 exits. The hack strives to feel like SMW, but with an abundance of resources fueled by the fires of ideas. And the most relevant of all: This is an open team hack, meaning that you can join us - no matter what your skill level! The rest of us will help guide you through the steps of creating ideal stages filled with fresh platforming and sheer fun!
Guidelines
Statistics
Levels
Levels are the core part of any hack, fancy graphics and sprites can only help so much. Any available level will be marked -unclaimed-. Post in the thread to request a level, and don't be shy! Don't feel bad about dropping a level either, certain people have been willing to finish uncompleted levels. Just post the resources you used and get back to doing what you did before. The level list will list a type of level for each entry, please follow this type or your level will be rejected.
Once your level is done, submit the IPS patch in the thread and wait. A staff member will test your level (most likely Egadd), take screenshots, and post in the thread with the verdict. If it is accepted, follow the Guidelines for Uploading Resources and it will be added to the pending list. If rejected, fix the issues mentioned in the post and resubmit an IPS patch for another verdict.
Level and Submap Signups
Guidelines for Uploading Resources
Submaps
While most of our Overworld is complete (two submaps remain), we still could use help with those two and with tiny errors in the ones we currently have. Submit submaps the same way you would a level.
Level and Submap Signups
Music
Our goal for this hack is to have a fully custom soundtrack with 57 tracks needed. As with the others, don't be shy to play around with a track, and don't be worried about dropping it. We can always use a few hooks, bass-lines, or beats to construct a song with.
Music Signups
Everything Else
We don't have signups for other resources, but feel free to make them! Graphics, sprites, and patches are always needed and are often requested by our members. Feel free to just make them and post them!
*screenshots will go here as I take them*
The first thing I would like to announce is that we will have a C3 demo! It will use the No OW patch and be a showoff of all the levels done and added by then. Make sure you submit your levels before I go ahead and make it! Here's to hoping we win a couple awards!
