It's specified as his background image. Normally Freewebs doesn't allow external image linking, but I'm seeing it anyway... 
Is this better?
Freewebs doesn't allow external linking? It does. The extension has to be caps, though. So any .png files are .PNG... or that is what I think it is...
Back on topic, GY has many hacks made. They were all good. If I was bored of one of them, I just went on to another. This is going to be a good one, though. Hopefully the best. |

That's what I did.
Hope you get the palette right, when not pm me and I will help you. 
Eh, that doesn't even matter, I just changed the background altogether, but thanks for the advice anyway.  |

Alright! Another in the SMW+ series! Now I know to expect good results from this.
(Off Topic: This is a test of my board layout.) |

Keep up the good work, but I see one palette error in the last pic.
The BG color isn't so good as the original SMB3 ones.
But you fix that, right.
I'm lookin' forward to the demo.
I wanted to fix the background colors, but when I tried to they interfered with the custom tileset of the level and gave the objects strange colors. Maybe I should just change the BG altogether. |

I've also used the gfx that I used in SMW+4 and SMW+5, the new mushrooms and fire power vegetable, and the new coins. Occasionally, I like to do minor gfx changes myself. But my passion is in the level design, heh heh... |

So that's how I got 3GB of bandwidth used up in a month.  (Yes, apparently Geocities does have a cap, and 12 randomly-chosen 640x480 JPGs aren't too small. They're on 3 separate accounts now.  )
But back on topic, those are some of the sweetest GFX I've seen in a while. |

Glad to hear that we inspire people.
You should all thank KT15X, after all, it was HIS idea to begin with. |

Very nice pics! Also nice to see that someone used my ExGFX. 
In the BS Zelda temple, there is a one-block wide column which seems like it is supposed to go on further... Maybe use the right side of the walls there too? (Just a suggestion) |

You should finish the first world (if not already finished) and make a demo of it |

Yea, that's because the ExGfx catches people's eye, and the level desing isn't really seen untill they play the hack.
If the Graphics don't look good, most people don't download it because it doesn't seem to make a great impression just by looking at it. |

Well, for better or worse, cosmetic issues are important.. I mean, that's why you use ExGFX, right? Nowadays, you could have the best level design in the world, and no one would play your hack if it didn't have new graphics. |

Yes, I dread doing the overworld. It is not as fun as designing the actual levels. That's where you get all the gameplay anyway, so I usually take the most time with levels instead. |

Do you think that too many gfx from the ExGFX Workshop won't be good? Afterall, it's probably the best I can do graphic-wise.
I've always sucked with overworlds too. That's why I refrained from redesigning it in SMWLL! But then an unchanged overworld wasn't good enough, oh well. I hope I can pull off a halfway decent OW this time. |
