For those who don't know, I've started making a new project, this time it isn't going to be cancelled. My new hack is called Super Mario Golden Paradise and it is a bit different from the other "original" Mario hacks, I mean, the theme of the hack is a bit different, the hack is treasure hunting and pirate themed just to don't go with Mario beginning his journey in a grassland with happy hills and this kind of stuff.
So yeah, Super Mario's Golden Paradise is my new project. The demo of this hack should be released when I get world 1 done. I decided to make a thread of it to get more attention and also because I'll mostly post screens of my levels and some graphical changes (which usually get ignored in the Screenshots and Video thread). Now here goes the hack's stuff so far:
STORY:
The legend says a mysterious golden treasure will give powerful powers for who finds it. The treasure is hidden in somewhere in the Mushroom World, many people sought for it and nobody found it. However, this story is going to be changed... During his vacation, Mario was searching for coins near his beach house with his steel detector. Suddenly, Mario found something: the sacred golden treasure. However, Bowser discovered that Mario found the sacred treasure and then Bowser stole the treasure from Mario. Now, Bowser has powerful powers and with them he'll be able to rule the world! However, Mario won't let Bowser do that!
SCREENSHOTS:
Level Screenshots:
I'm sorry, so far only a level was done and there aren't so many screenshots... However, what would be of this thread without the few screenshots that I've got?
My first cutscene. Yes, as you already noticed, this hack will have cutscenes in order to give a more "RPG feeling" to it.
Here's the first level, a beach level. The name of this level is "Diversity Beach", I think it sounds nice but I would like to know your opinion about it.
Aahh... the water is so refreshing!
From here you have two ways: You can either go up or go down...
...but only one path contains an 1-Up mushroom!
Here's the second part of the level, it has Layer 3 water. Also, I wanted to make a totally new first level, with a second part in order to don't make it too linear.
In this area you can find huge palm trees and Mario can stand on them!
Just an example of how unlinear is the level.
Should be pretty obvious of what I need to do to take that Dragon Coin...
Finally, the level's end!
GFX Screenshots:
Just showing the graphics that I'm going to use for cave levels and areas. The foreground is a bit ugly I guess, but it's going to be fixed.
OTHER STUFF:
This hack will contain:
- Custom Blocks and Sprites;
- Custom graphics and maybe also ripped graphics;
- Custom Music;
- A beautiful level design;
- Cutscenes and some other stuff to give it a RPG style.
Credits:
Schwa (for some custom sprites), Davros (custom blocks), SL (For his "Up Teleport" block), InvisibleCoinBlock and Dispari Scuro (for the amazing NPC sprites, thanks to both of you);
Mikeyk, Jonwil, Smallhacker, Romi (for the programs that I'm using);
Beta Testers:
1. uNkNowN5642
2. DaKing
3. Edgar
4. Anti-matter Drone (maybe)
5. Shinnok
6. andy_k_250
NO MORE BETA-TESTERS. IT'S ALREADY FULL
So that's it for now. Comments, suggestions and construtive criticism are always appreciated, I really need the opinion of you guys, so please, a feedback would be appreciated.
