megaman, I wouldn't bring that into a NES game although it used to be a nes game
anyway megman is a dude version of samus, but more like a robot.
I better start reading deeper into threads before I post. |

I allways have dreamed with a game in where you see sprites and themes from other good videogames then I suggest we make a SMW hack based in Mega Man, Kirby, Yoshi's Island and other famous games. I'm talking about to edit, for example, the Forest of Illusion and turn it into a Mega Man zone or the Coockie Mountain into a Kirby zone or the Chocolate Island into a Joe & Mac zone, etc..
I've almost finished making a hack that's similar to what Schnauzer is talking about... called Super Mario Universe. |

I like the idea but I dont think ACMLM would even notie he is hardly ever online. Unless I see him post in here I dont think he will even notice this hack. |

Says who? look at BMF's hack. look at SMWR. look at MikeyK. LOOK AT LM!!! Who freakin' says we can't be as good as the original designers?
the most OpenSource proggers !are pro's too but their apps easily mess with comercial
btw why !start this project on sf.net? |

Thank you!
I can help with the playability ideas... secrets, quests, etc. |

Well, this is a good idea. Only I wish that Acmlm would of finished Strange Mario 2 & 3 and Strange Mario World. That would of motivated me to do a team hack for him. Maybe I'll do 1 level if this gets off the ground.  Nice idea over all. |

Is the same with our personal projects. They can be bullshit too.
Is just a try. |

Yeah, alright, fine, if you want to waste your time on a doomed project like this, go right ahead, but when it falls apart, don't say I didn't warn you =/ |

1. That's what I was trying to point out, was the sprite editing. And as for #2, there are a lot of us who actually can, Kyouji. Just needs a little effort to be put in. |

1. SMWR had pretty terrible level design. Impressive sprite hacks were all it had going for it.
2. Yeah, but that doesn't mean we'd work well TOGETHER. |

I think that highly depends on the skills of any given hacker.
Ofcourse, there's also bad coders, so I guess it all evens out in the end. |

You won't have full creative control over the project, it will be distributed, but sometimes that is a good thing, I think.
Definitely. It would also make sense, because you could have specialists working together. In Real ROMs, they didn't have people who singlehandedly level designed, programmed, did GFX, and music. they had many. that's why this idea has credit. |

But the idea is that a small group of six, seven or eight persons work in the hack... each one in different areas of the game. One in the Yoshi's Island based in Metroid another one edit the Forest of illusion based in Kirby, another one works in the Butter Bridge zone based in Mega Man, etc. If you dont want to colaborate, no problem. But if I can join a small group of hackers could be great. Max. 10 persons could be good.
It's just a ACMLM tribute or a SMW Hackers tribute. |
