(Vaporwave) - Tylermation

Standard



This hack is to celebrate and explore the musical genre known as vaporwave. If you haven't heard of it, here's the most popular and well known track out there.

Here's my favorite vaporwave album right now. It actually is a brand new subgenre of vaporwave that has adopted the name post-internet. It is a pioneer of the subgenre though, and none like it have come out since it's release seven months ago. If you plan on listening to it, do it with headphones while doing homework, working on your hack, or just lying down.

Since this is my first real project, I will need a lot of help from you guys. In return, I will put eastereggs in the rom with your username in it and you will appear in the credits. For bigger things, I will maybe edit a video for you in Sony Vegas or do something in photoshop for you along with the first thing I talked about.

If you would like to help (mostly just converting regular vaporwave songs into ones playable on the rom, and being my LM tutor) PM me.

Covers (made these when I didn't have acess to LM or YY-CHR)

old one (made before I even started the rom hack


Current (may change)


No screencaps
sorry if this seems vague, but i want a lot of this to be suprised. besides, as of now, there is't much to show.



Update 2

I'm nearly done editing version 1 of Mario's new sprite. I also learned how to custom background. Editing Yoshi comes next, the tiles, then other enemy sprites, etc. etc. Some ideas would be helpful.

holy shit continue, this is some good shit.
Will it have good music?

Yes. That is the entire point of the hack, good music.

Great! Is that all you'd like to help with? (testers still get name in credits, but those who help with music and ASM get a lot more than just that, maybe a level named after you?)

Glad you like it, Really encouraging to see people enjoy the idea.
So vaporwave is basically athmospheric music? It seems kind of weird meme-filled too, so uh.

How do you intend to make levels out of it? Will they be normal levels or will they fit the slow pace of the tracks? And about how many levels do you intend to make, also?

How does you drawing style look like? Do you have any graphics or sketches ready?

I really wanted to know what exactly you want to make of this; all you said and showed is really vague. And you're not easily getting helpers to do major things for you if all you give them from the hack itself is an unedited title screen except for the layer 3 if we're being honest (your old messed up purple palette wasn't really encouraging either).

The cover looks quite intersting (except for the font you used to spell your name), but I think you really should prioritize the game itself, since well, the game is the thing.
It's easily the best thing I've done
So why the empty numb?
Please, continue.
I want play that gold with my friends some day.
Exclusive content and nostalgia!

People who didn't understand it made dumb memes about it. Newer releases these days are ones you won't find any memes on.

the levels will fit the slow-pace of the tracks. I don't know how many levels i will have, I couldn't tell you if i wanted to.

I know it's vague, there isn't that much to show when you started the game a few days ago.

I'm not going to start the game itself until all the graphics, backgrounds and musics have been finished, because those are the things i want to build the game around (especially the music itself) I just made the title screen to show something, anything at all.

I don't want to show the graphics until I've finished, either. Mario's sprite will be shown when it's finished, though.

The album art? I made it when I had no access to YY-CHR, lunar magic or anyhthing else. I just made them for good fun.

Thank you for the feedback!
I finally got a screenshot out for you guys. Check the original ost.
This seems pretty much interesting.

Making a SMW hack out of musical tastes is a thing I'd like to be able to. Maybe one day I could launch a project off of my favourite ambiant band.

Vaporwave, at least the album you've shared, seems like ambiant electronic/EDM mixed with tunes from the '80s. This kind of music is very relaxing to me, so I have also to thank you for the great discovery, Mr. Tylermation. Is this music only represented by Chinese artists? I'v enever heard of it before!

Unfortunately I don't know how to port anything in .txt music file so I can't help you a lot. But I'll try to be there when you have something to get tested!

And also... What I have to say about the screenshots is that the palettes are a bit messed up, and your character seems like Mario with a paperbag on the head. Not the best asthetical choice IMO but why not, maybe it is symbolic of something to you.

Cheers
