Yeah, the title is basic. But the hack is too.

I've had this hack idea in my head for about 2 years. YES! 2 Years. But when I originally thought of the idea, there was no level RPG patch. When It came out I didn't know how to use Xkas. But since cskas came out. I have done it. I've got it all planned out:

Levels: 4
OW: Just like a PAC-MAN level.
Sprite: Sprites that are just like the little ghosts in the arcade pacman. Which someone could please make for me.


Screenshots:
These are very early WIPs.



I will bring more when I have made more progress.
BTW ignore the status bar. I am removing most of that.


So what do you think. Comments and Constructive Critism would be very nice. :D

Good idea for a hack. I just hope the level design will be a bit more complicated and not so unoriginal or boring.

I thought you were going to finish the other 435 projects you have. You always say you're going to finish a hack, but you never do. This way no-one will follow your progress anymore.
It's good idea, but someone who couldn't figure out Xkas wants to change SMW into a completely different game? Also, it's a game that basically conists of:
Fruit, Pac-Dots, Pac-Pellets, and Ghosts. So four sprites. After that, the level design would take.... a day? Maybe two? It doesn't appear you know ASM, so basically, whoever makes the sprites for you practically made the hack, while you'll get credit.

I'm not trying to be mean, and I'm not saying your trying to steal credit (I know you're not), but this does seem a little ridculous.
But hey, the idea is good, so if you get it done, I'd play it.
You could make ghosts, spike tops and make them walk around the walls as other ghosts which have a defined path...

The spiketops wouldn't move around the maze properly, not to mention they wouldn't move randomly.
I like the idea and I say keep working on it!

@georgevssonic
I am still working on MANE, just sorting it out a bit.

@NameUser
I have been thinking a while now about learning ASM. So that will help with it instead of others making them for me. The only things made by others so far is the PAC-MAN GFX, The RPG patch, and an ASM that Alcaro made which completes the level when all the coins are collected. The yellow dots are coins. I will remove the sparkles.


I am adding a arcade/cool BG to brighten it up a bit. Thanks for all the comments so quick.
Pretty cool you just need to change the status bar to like the Pac-man one or some-thing like that. I will play this when finished!

That looks pretty nice! I'd say, go for it. It would be pretty fun.

You should finish this one, because you already anounced only four levels. If you can't finish that, well, thats pretty sad...
Eh, sure. Why not? Kaizo hacking doesn't seem too ha-aaaaaaand I broke the ROM.
You had it for two years? I had it for one but its done. so...Great job! This calls for Tetris Music! custom fuzzy sprites. And a sprite activating P-switch that turns ghosts blue turning them into (1up, Mushroom, something collectable)...

Actually, the ghosts don't move randomly. They all have a set pattern. There's a dossier all about it here.

Heh, I also had the idea of creating a Pac-Man hack earlier in 2009 when NekohDot was working on a Pac-Man tileset, but I never got around to it due to laziness and lack of motivation until last year in August. I discarded the project shortly after I started though and then lost interest in SMW hacking. I never got far, but I ripped some graphics and made a few ASM hacks (Pac-Man style lives, Pac-Man himself, and a few other stuff). It would be pretty awesome to have a Pac-Man style hack and I strongly recommend you continue working on it. ;)

Also, rather than using coins as the collectables you should use a custom block or something that adds up to your score and coins too. Would also be useful for a high-score system which would be pretty cool to have in a game like this.

By the way you should add a few more levels rather than just having 4 to make the game more interesting, like having gimmicks and more minor variations to your levels to make them better than the original game.

Don't coins give you points already? Now About high score:

http://2nd.geocities.jp/yoshi_65c816/mario.html

That's all I can think of now.
You didn't get the point of that article. The ghost's movement is still relatively random. If you use spike tops, the ghosts will move in the same predictable path every time.
I know that, I was just talking about the coins and points in that one. Now moving pages: How will we make the sprite react in such a way?
Interesting idea for a hack, it's like a completely different game!Free counters!
Sorry for not posting much but I have been very busy with other things.
What I am going to do:
Fruit: I am replacing the Mushroom with a Cherry and the Fireflower with a peach. The status bar I would really like someone to code for me. As I need a Pacman style status bar. PacGhosts, I also need someone to make one for for me. I just need the ASM file as I can do the CFG file myself. Custom music ,It will be the MuhMeh Pacman noise. I can insert that. I don't get that High Score thingy because i canot find a download link. But I will use it. The Pac-Palletes (are they the things that turn the ghosts blue) will be a still starman, I am removing the coin sparkles so Pacman will not sparkle when he gets it but with some pallette exanimation, I will turn the ghosts blue.

I am trying to do as much as I can myself but I will give credit to everyone who takes part and makesure they are known by doing this.

Have you got any of them ASM hacks still as I can't find them in the patches section. It would be great if I could use them. :D

I will be bringing a screenshot of the title screen soon.

EDIT:

The dots are animated so they flash colours. What do you think.,
It looks great. I've already requested for the PacGhost GFX. But How many Levels will it have?
I am planning on 4 levels, as it might be a bit boring to play with loads of levels. But if I don't feel it is enough, I might release an EXTENSION hack.

Looks cool. I have a feeling it will hurt your eyes... But who am I, eh?
