The Haunted Desert [100%] [DOWNLOAD IT NOW!!!]

Standard


^^^ The Haunted Desert Userbar ^^^
Me, Hadron and CrispyYoshi are near at finishing this. Currently 80% is DONE!

There is not really a storyline, but this hack is about how fun it is to play. It's challenging, but it's not Kaizo. Sorry Kaizo fans.

This hack has custom music, custom blocks, custom sprites, ExGFX and a few GFX edits.
I would like to thank the following people:

Hadron, CrispyYoshi, Iceguy, Superyoshi, InvisibleCoinBlock, Jonathan Wilson, FuSoYa, mikeyk, S.N.N, Lucas, and probably some more..

Here is a video of the coin room and the simple room where you need to be quick, because you have 30 seconds to reach the door.

Feedback, comments, critism, love, hate.. Post it all!
Well, this looks pretty interesting. Could I ask you a question, though?

May I join in this team hack?

Also, I've got another question: Where'd you find the countdown timer?

Sorry, no. It's almost done, we don't need anymore help. Thanks for the offer though.

Just from this sample video I get the idea that this will be a very creative level hack. I beg you to let me be a confirmed tester, for I will be awaiting your PM on it's release! I will try to judge and play this to the best of my ability. Having a credits section for testers is recommended IMO because many flock to custom-filled hacks.

What do you say to all of this?

Edit: Oh man, oh god, I'm KILLING EVERY DISCUSSION I POST IN!!!

I will send you the .ips to you before I release it. You and SNN are now the current betatesters.
While we're on the subject of beta-testing...

Can I beta-test as well, or are beta-testers filled as well?

Two beta testers are enough, I'll contact you as soon as we need one more.
Nice, we have a thread now. ( I know, that team hack threads are now allowed, but I can post here, true?) So, that new room looks really good, some ASM is never a disadvantage. And the music fits in this fast-mood (or what...) level, SNN did a great job here (and R.I.P. Keytastrophe). So, send me the hack, Hiyoko, I'd like to make more rooms.
This isn't a teamhack like if we're searching for more people, you can call it a teamhack since our team exists out of 3 users (Me, you and CrispyYoshi)

I'll send you the rom on MSN now.
From what I have played, this is shaping up to be a fairly decent hack. I'm pretty fond of the sandy blocks touch in the castle-ish area, as it really helps enhance the desert atmosphere. The puzzles are pretty good too - nothing overly challenging, though they still take a minute or two to figure out.

The new coin and timer rooms are pretty nice as well. There looks to be an area you can get stuck in at the bottom right corner of the timer room though .. is this intended?

Either way, this is pretty nice. Looking forward to trying out the finished product.

Thanks for your post, SNN!
I'm glad you like the hack and the demo you've played, expect the full version soon so you can beta test it before it actually releases.

Also glad to hear the puzzles are good, I'm not that great at puzzles. I got some help from Hadron and CrispyYoshi ofcourse.

I'm also glad (I actually used the word glad 3 times in a post, oh wait.. 4 times now) that you like the timer + coin room. It just came up in my mind to make it more challenging. I forgot to add some doors to the timer room to respawn so, I added the doors now.


Other then that.
Here's the progress on the OW and the message you get in the introduction level.


This is the only submap in the whole hack, the first level is not actually a level, it's just a 2 screen stage that shows the message what Mario says. The castle is the actual level you all want to play. The (I guess) most challenging Ghost House themed 1 level hack you will ever play.


This is the message that appears in the first stage (STRANDED)

Comments? Suggestions? Post it.
Great! The hack have now an OW too, and it looks very nice. But Dinomar can have right, this is a bit too simple. Also, I like the palettes of the map, nice work in here.
So, in progress...the boss, the title screen graphics and moves, a few rooms...and ready!
Updates!

I am happy to announce that this hack is ALMOST done!
We just need to take care of the boss battle rooms, the title screen, the title screen's movements, the complete credits screen and custom palettes.

About the level, the level is nearly finished, it's just the boss rooms we need to take care of. The level is challenging, hard. It's not Kaizo, but it's also probably the hardest non-kaizo Ghost House themed 1 level hack you will ever play. It could be possible there are harder ones, I don't know about that. Each room will have a different difficulty and style, the one is hard and vertical, the other is a puzzle part and difficult, and so on.

We still need some custom palettes, the standard brown wood from the Ghost House tileset is kinda boring, so we're taking care of that. The new palette will be good looking, and brand new.

The title screen will be a little harder, but with some hard work we can get a good title screen logo and design, and so the title screen's movements need to be done to, that'll be done. Maybe I'll leave that to CrispyYoshi or Hadron. If they don't know how to, I'll do it.

I already made the credits screen, but since that was made there are more sprites added, so I'll update that screen as soon as possible.


So stay tuned and see this hack in SMWC's Hacks section!
This one level hack is making some awesome progress. I thought the demo was very fun due to some crafty puzzles and good level design. As for the overworld, I love the work done on it so far and that custom palette on there really gives it some extra flavor.

I'm downloading this the minute it's released!
99,5%

Do you know what that means?
Yes. This hack is currently in the beta phase, four betatesters are now betatesting this hack. With almost everything fixed and made, this hack will be released to the site as soon as possible.

I would like to thank everyone who helped on this hack.
