Lost in the Forest, Boris V2 & Ports

So some of you may remember a collab hack started by FalconPunch like 7 years ago(I don't even remember) which then changed leadership like 3 times before it got cancelled and I finished the rest of it myself(taking forever to do so). Well it's finally finished.

What's it about.. Well some weird magical forest appeared on the outskirts of the Mushroom Kingdom and Mario decided to enter the forest and investigate when Magikoopa teleports him deeper into the forest. Will he find his way out?(probably). Play the hack and find out.

I even made a trailer which you can watch here:

Or if you don't feel like watching a trailer I also have screenshots:

So in addition to Lost in the Forest I decided to update my first hack Boris. Boris was my first hack and I've learned a lot of things about hacking since then. So one of the main improvements in this update is I've made the palettes less saturated/nauseating. But there's a few other changes like I got rid of a killer door in the Last Castle that I didn't know about previously and there's now a message boss explaining how to beat the secret boss in World 2.

Look how much better the palettes are:

Finally I composed a bunch of songs for Lost in the Forest and even a few new ones for the new version of Boris. While I'm still very much a beginner at porting back when I made Boris my porting skills consisted of dropping a midi into TinyMML. So I remade some of the ports I made for Boris which includes some original compositions as well as ports of Tetris Music C, The Guardian Legend: Information Room and even King Kong by Frank Zappa. I also decided that having Stone Tower Temple from Majora's mask playing on the interior areas of all the Worlds was a tad repetitive so for the rest of the worlds interior areas besides 1 I composed new music. You can download all of that plus the music I composed my CLDC level this year Do the Weasel Stomp here:

Great to see at least 1 collab get finished this time around. I especially liked what I saw of the upside down piranha plant level.

I'm not likely to be doing a sequel to Boris or really anymore hacks aside from contests as I'm focusing more on my music these days instead of hacking. The only reason I finished Lost in the Forest was I didn't want to have this unfinished project haunting me anymore(I still have that unfinished hack I started with Draaloff that's probably never going to get finished.).

Unfortunately, I'm not very active on the site anymore like I was before; I'm mainly on Discord now. Thanks for understanding.

I know took me long enough didn't it?.. Jeezis!

My hack projects are gonna take even longer. But yeah, glad you finally got that out of the way.

I just watched someone play Lost in the Forest on youtube in which the person playing came across some things I didn't catch when I playtested the hack myself. So I've updated the link above with a fixed version of the hack.

So funny seeing my really old graphics still completely in tact. But hey, looks like someone finally revived that dead horse.

I could redo them if you want me to
