Hello! This is my first attempt at creating a rom hack and thought why not start off with a bang and try to make a full sized hack!
Hypernova is planned on being a 15 course hack with ~130 shards to collect.
The story goes: A dark comet crash landed in a far away land and Bowser ran over and took it. He also saw a green comet hurling through the sky and with the dark comet's power he blew it up and its shards scattered throughout the kingdom. Now a red comet looms overhead and Bowser needs time to allow the dark comet to power back up and fire another blast. Mario learns of this and rushes over to the kingdom to try and stop him.
I only have two levels partially done so far with me starting work on the third. I began the project in late May so if I continue to stay moderately motivated I should have this hack finished by spring of 2020 but I am hoping to get done before then but college and work need to be good to me until then...

Anyways here are some screenshots of the first 2 courses: https://imgur.com/a/81d1Rr1
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hub 1 Planned Courses-
Course 1: Cascade Cliffs 85% done
Course 2: Web-Slinged Woods 75% done
Course 3: Sunshine Archipelago 5% done
Course 4: Musty Mtn. Mines
Course 5: Steamy Sandstorm Factory
Hub 1: Northern Heights 35% done
Bowser 1: The Obsidian Tower
I'm aiming for the hack to be reasonable to pick up, but complex enough that people who play rom hacks will still have a tiny challenge. Difficulty is planned for between star road and star revenge, but probably closer to star revenge.
I'll be updating this progress thread every few months while trying to tread that fine line of showing off what I've been up to and not spoiling everything that's in the hack.
I know I don't have too much done yet but I really wanted to get my name out there and I'd love to hear some feedback on what you guys think so far!
