Super Mario - Cyclone Fighter [Released !]

Hey there ! I'm there to officially present a new project...


(title screen not final)

you can just shorten it to SM:CF :3


Hack will be released in French and English versions.
It will contain 9 courses with each 2 stars : a "end of level"
star and a 100 coin star. (so yeah, it's kinda reminescent of The Battle Storm by Fares if you know it)
Wing Mario and Starman Mario will be here (the switches will be inside of courses themselves)
I'll explain the rest of how it works here (since it is kinda long...)


PLOT :

This game is a prequel to Super Mario 64, and happening while Luigi is still stuck at Nuro Palace.

Mushroom Kingdom is normally a peaceful area, when it's very often sunny. And when bad weather happens, some associate it with evil...
They are often proven wrong, since it's just a natural event.
But this time, it's not simply rain or snow... but a damn big snowstorm who harshly affects this country !

When small ponds menace to drown small towns... and when sandy fields become icy paradises, the inhabitants from the kingdom know there's something wrong. Mario is now definitely ready to go to the skies and see what's happening !

Allons, enfants de la paaaatrie ! :D
I'm into this now. Hope the hack comes out nice. I made a little theme that might fit in one of these levels. You don't have to use it if you want to, but you may want to listen to this :).

This place is sure a chilling beach, right ? Thanks to the cyclone. :/



(fun fact : For some reason I have not enough ideas to finish drawing this level.)

Title screen is done! #smw{:TUP:}


SUPER CRASH TIME YEAH!
Hey there !
Course 6 is now done in TT64 ! (after days of laziness because of warps x))







Last pic is technically the second boss area but still, it's strongly connected to C6 so... yeah.

Now only Course 4 in TT64 and Course 5 are missing ;)
(even if I may redo the model of C4 because it feels a bit rushed imo)



inb4 Pics have the actual number of stars in the game. Never happened before :')

The screenshots look promising(also that title screen looks awesome). Can't wait for the release :D
This actually looks very promising and the idea behind it is really interesting. For the stormy skies one, where you are in the room with the blue coins switch, it might be better to clearly mark where you have to stand to warp.
Thanks for the feedback everyone ! I kinda agree about C8 bonus room, I'll put a metal box where you warp or something like that. :P

Release should come soon since only Course 4 is missing !
Also, here are some screens of Course 5 (since I finished it today) :

It's kind of hard to tell apart different surfaces in some of those shots, because of the relatively contrast-less textures and same color everywhere..
Your layout has been removed.

Thanks for pointing this out ! But I don't really know how could I do to mark more the contrast between these textures... :/ Still, it's somehow more visible in the preview.

Also, course 4 is done now !
Now I have just to do some little tweaks, write many missing dialogue (and fix Koopa The Quick somewhere), and the game's done :)







Since the game is basically done, guess what time it is now ?
BETATESTING TIME !

Well, still, I want to modifiy these things before giving the rom, but I'm already looking for 5 betatesters. :P

RULES :

1 - don't leak the game
2 - don't leak the game
3 - don't leak the game
4 - If you want to stream it, you can, but just inform me of when you will because I want to see it. ^^
5 - If you ever want to post a video, don't post a entire level.
6 - When you're done with it, send a PM to me with all the very strange thing you've noticed (if there are any)

Betatester list (will be updated)

- Mariocrash64
- SuperZora
- Pieordie1
- Cartoooo

Oh boy that was fast. Why is it that the sky level don't match up with the background? It seems that the graphic textures are broken for no ryhmer reason, unless you did want to cover them up with the fog's color tone.

PS: dont let Kaze leaking your hack somewhere or weird crap will happen on it #smw{:trollface:}
SUPER CRASH TIME YEAH!

Well that's exactly it. :P Also, I sent the link to the list of betatesters, so you can play it now :D

EDIT : Spotted a strange problem that caused the final boss's star to not count. Since I couldn't get it fixed, then I'll send another version for betatesting... Well 20 stars is still a more normal number than 21 xD
(because yeah, secret levels and stuff)

I don't know if it's me or PJ64 who had a problem, but learning that Course 1 had a loading problem (as the sign says) but it's extremely rare to encounter this. And I tried many times to check what makes it so "oh-for-god's-sake" long. Not to mention, the FPS froze while running it normally or fast-forwardly.

This upsetting loading problem might comes from an object or either something out of a warp or a major/minor level setting override. And still, if that problem is left unfixed, try re-import without a single object nor a level setting change, just to see this loading bug fixing itself.

EDIT: Well apparently, something went wrong with the warps. I messed around one of the warps in Course 1 and the loading time just jumped short. I was like " OH FREAKING CRASH YEAH I MADE IT #smw{B)}" when this happens, you should tell the other guys that I fixed it so I can share the updated ROM on the weekend.
SUPER CRASH TIME YEAH!
I guess it's more of a PJ64 problem : I tested it on N64oid and it worked like a usual warp. Still it was pretty strange as I fixed it at some point, but it happened again :/

Well I'd like to get the rom too, as I still have to write some missing dialogue (that's why all the signs who have the credits message), fix and improve some things here and there in the game, etc.


EDIT : got it fixed by reimporting the level. xD

If everything goes well, then hack will be released this Sunday. ^^

When is this hack should be released?
It should have been released today, but I had plenty of things to do and so I hadn't time doing the final tweaks and the few remaining dialogue. :/
