Even though I don't care for "manipulating" SMW, I agree with this statement completely. Even though it may seem like it, I'm not against ASM. People such as Foursword4, Azure and SNN use ASM in their hacks, yet I still love the hacks they produce. Azure Chaotic is just phenomenal!
Originally posted by DarthRikoThe main reasons that people don't just make their own game, if they know ASM, is...
1. Because making a game from scratch is a massive project that would require hundreds of hours of work, for a team to do, nonetheless a single person. Some people, like me, don't like the idea of that.
2. Sometimes making a hack of something, rather than starting a whole new game, is more fun to do. Personally, I find making Super Mario World hacks fun, because I am making a game I like, based on a game that is one of the best games ever made.
When I wrote that paragraph, I didn't stop and think about any of these reasons. Those two reasons you stated are completely true.

What I think makes a good SMW hack is design. Nothing else really matters, but, persay, spices up the hack. I love seeing custom sprites, blocks, music, ect. in hacks, but if design sucks, the hack itself will suck. The only reason I like Brutal Mario is because of the bosses. I actually like vanilla hacks (exception to custom music, I really get tired of the original music) if it's not bad and it's a plus if design is good. That's all I have for now.
First, I want to tell you that this is
NOT a rant thread. It is a discussion thread. I just enjoy discussing random things that I think we could all enjoy talking about. The next paragraph you wrote I have no problem with. The only thing that makes me enjoy a hack is level design. Sure I love Azure Chaotic's ASM, but what made me really love it was the incredible level design.
Originally posted by DavrosBecause we're better that you and it makes the hack unique and it allows to add any new material that Nintendo didn't think to put. It allows the hack to show it's potential
Do you just enjoy ticking people off? Seriously, I wanted this thread to be an intelligent talk thread, but instead your making me look like an idiot.
Originally posted by DavrosActually, it's more like a rant thread since your first post reflects a bit of that. <_<
As I said, this thread is a discussion thread, not a rant thread.
Originally posted by Golden YoshiEveryone has their own reason for hacking SMW. I'm pretty sure most people are doing it for fun, as do I (obviously, no one gets paid to do it ^_^).
That's true. I hack it for fun. As you said, nobody is getting paid for hacking. (Even though that would be nice...>_>)
Originally posted by Count BleckFuSoYa made Lunar Magic to help people alter the game, from graphics to music, difficulty and game play. In your opinion, you said FuSoYa made Lunar Magic for people to hack, not manipulate. What's the point of being able to hack something, if you cannot manipulate into some design that amazes you?
That is true as well. I wouldn't want to make a game that doesn't amaze me...I would want to make a game that would be amazing and fun.
Wow...I'm going against everything I said in my earlier post. But like I said, I don't think I was thinking about anything while writing that post. I seemed pretty closed minded...>_>
New Topic-Television (I am aware this new topic is random. ^_^)
What's happened to television? They've totally ruined it. When I was littler, they had awesome shows. Take "Doug," "Ren and Stimpy," and "Rocko's Modern Life" for example. They have all been replaced with crap like "Fairly Oddparents," "Jimmy Nuetron," and "Zoey 101".
In my opinion they are completely ruining TV. It's not just Nick that's been ruined, other shows have been ruined as well.
I rarely watch TV anymore...it's all crap. :/
Discuss.
Again, remember that this is not a rant thread, and these are all my opinions.
