What glitches are you talking about? I know there is a few simple/stupid touch-ups to do, but am I missing anything important I dont see? |

This is my first level made while learning Lunar Magic. After I got the drift of all the basics I started a real hack with even a custom overworld, but It was heading down the drain so I trashed it (too small/short, poor quality, ect). Many months later I started working on a new overworld just for fun, not even considering starting a full hack. Then I completed a rough draft of the overworld ....
...and got a good response on these forums. However my interest faded away and I locked it away. Now I have got a lot of motivation to unfreeze the hack and I've worked a bunch on the overworld once again. The overworld is almost complete and I have all my ideas down on how things will happen. This is where I am now...
(this is a semi-old shot. those smb3 hill things are no longer in it, and that small weird rock that is hard to see is gone.)
I also have most of the sub-maps 100% complete, but I still have to tweak them. And I am half-way through layer 1/2 events, and my goal is to start the level design process by December. I do however have 1 level planned out and created about 50% of the ExGfx it will use :p
edit: oh and I have a great idea for another level, but nothing started on that yet.
I plan to add custom blocks (of course), but I havn't ever tried that before so I will have to test it out on a 'dummy hack'. I don't know any ASM so I wont even touch that.. |

Mine here.
The 3rd of 3 hacks I made. First one was like this, but it had a couple different levels. Got lost when I accidentally patched over my rom without having a backup 
Second time, I decided to move the levels to a different version of the rom for some inane reason, but some blocks in the new version were different, and I didn't have the slightest clue to graphics editing yet, so I gave up for a while, and then started on the third one. Unfortunately I don't have the patch for the second version. It got lost when our old hard drive went back in February.
This one's fairly recent, but last time I did anything with it was 4 or 5 months ago. I'm thinking about scrapping this one as well, but taking the levels I thought were good, and putting them in a new one. If anyone's interested in playing the level I described as painful on that site, I'll upload my earliest patch 
'State 0 Saved / Loaded' on most of the screenshots
Particularly bad level design in the first screenshot's level (basically all the level does is make you go to the top of the screen, then back down to the bottom, and back up, and down. I also put a cape in right at the beginning of the level 
I think the Overworld that's been done is pretty good for my first try, but last I knew the exits from the first ghost house were reversed or something.
I could go on, but you can download the patch there, and try it for yourself. |

Ugh.... i know you may be thinkin, hey it just about looks like the finished version... But I still to this day feel like crap about my hack, especially when it's compared to the gold made now-a-days...
*sigh* crappy sprites, gltiches, and poor level design... (IMO by the way)
If I were to make a 2nd hack.... Well, the level design would be better anyways... |

I didn't hack (if you can use the term "hacking" by using an editor with kick-ass GUI here  ) too long, but renewed my hack twice after I downloaded LM in July 2002.
The last shot came in 2003 with my first attempts to use background ExGFX correctly. Since I didn't know I easily could import level pallettes into LM, I tried to recolour everything by hand
I don't have screens ready, but my old hack still is up. Five levels only and way too hard. Copy and paste

Remember the Super Mario World Advanced hack?
 I don't have screenies of it, but look at the V.Easy and Easy editons and you'll see how crappy of a hack I was back then. |

Here are some screens of demo 2 of my hack, which was released last year. The hack was so crappy that probably many of you already forgot it, not to mention that the download was only 3 days available (band witch and then a computer crash problems) 
Anyway, here are my old pics:
The intro screen (no comments )
My old "volcano" level....oh my god
One of my poor attempts to make a 1-2 level from smb (at the time I sucked on changing gfx, adding exgfx, etc - although some han drawn stuff I made was pretty decent)
A gold mine!!! w00t!!!
One of my first rips last year - the smb3 thwomp!!!

Even though it wasn't released for a long time, my first hack was Legend of the Blob Bros. 2. It started out as a graphics-only deal, until Acmlm's SMB2 Discombobulator came along and...changed things. 
As for SMW, my first hack was Odyssey (also my first SNES hack). It's strange how my first projects always turn out to be my biggest... |

Ah...my first hack was SMW+... I started working on this one 3 years ago.
Here is a shot of one of the levels...
Here's one of my special-world-passed overworld...ugly ass colors .

Anyway, my first hack was of Metroid, many years ago. It was never released to anybody, and I don't have it anymore |

My first hack was Mario's Fun Levels. That was when I just knew how to edit the level design. I was suprised many people liked it in the first place. It was just a level hack too... no fancy ExGFX or anything like that... really sad excuse of a hack... |

My very first rom-hack was a Super Mario World hack, and it was a two part hack. I wanted to expand upon it and make many more of them, but I became much more interested in hacking other games.

Those screens need not have all that in them, you know. |

Remember when you were making your first hack? You've probably learned a lot since then, so post screens of it here just to see how much better you've become at hacking
Not all are bad...but this one is |
