FINALLY!

I have nothing bad to say about thsi shot. The palettes are good, the BG looks 1000% better. It looks more distant than the vivid blue it was before. Everything in the status bar looks good. You said that you weren't happy about the way the MARIO turned out, but it matchs everything else so it looks great. The M in mario may need some work if you have space (the right hand side looks squished), but if you leave it it will still look fine. Congrats on the good work. I'm glad you didn't "italic" the big nunbers or the "x"'s...it looks good the way it is.

The MARIO looks fine to me. Now it matches. I think the fonts here are better than any other SMW hack I know of.

Lookin good Kyouji, I like all the shots so far. That status bar is neato in my opinion, and the font is done well. Keep it up.

Odd, I could've sworn that "Mario's Return" is a different enough name than "SMW Returns" that I wouldn't get comments like that. It's just... Guh.

Having personally played this game, I would have to say the level design is the best part of this hack. It is not ridiculously hard to start with, but if you have not beaten the original SMW then you would probably wanna do that first. But I'm pretty sure that a very decent player could beat the first world without savestates, especially considering the nice little pointers/message box hints that are provided. It also progressively gets harder as opposed to other hacks where it is just plain hard from start to finish. So, no, this is nowhere near the mediocre level design of SMW Returns. At least not yet. And I'm pretty sure he's taking his time on this hack for a reason... it should never get to a point where the level design is less than sufficient.

You should let me beta test. After all, I'm going to let you test my hack once I get the second demo put together (I'd say maybe another month, depending on how fast me and da crew can make levels... and, of course, how fast I can make tilesets). Fair's fair.

Yeah, okay. I don't see anything wrong with that. When I get up to a satisfactory level of completion on this (most likely after world 3 is finished but before star world) I'll send you my progress so far.

Well, it took a bit longer than expected (read: about an hour once I actually got going, or 12 minutes if you don't count the time I spent pacing randomly, lost in fantasy) but I redid some of the graphics and palettes to allow everyone to win. Seriously, it was more work than you'd think.



You'll notice the relatively normal path color and the ladder that doesn't make you want to vomit. There's still some tweaking on a few other things to be done, but eh. I'm still not sure exactly what I'm gonna do with the graveyard foreground (or at least the tombstones in them) though everything else about it is relatively planned out... I just haven't actually gotten around to doing them. Expect them tomorrow... Except now that I've actually set a date you can count on me panicking and not actually doing anything for at least a week. But MAYBE it'll be done tomorrow.

I'm probably also gonna redo the overworld boo. I've actually been meaning to for some time, but y'know how it works.

Also, as a pre-emptive strike to anyone who says I bumped the thread - yeah, but I'm not about to make a new thread about something that has a thread that isn't even that old. Bear in mind that the last post in the thread was less than two weeks ago.

So anyway. Comments?

It looks slightly better, thats for sure...But im still worried about that ghost house. It just doesnt look right at all. Most likely because its right next to a gravestone that is twice its height

Mmmm... the wonderful feeling when you no longer need to vomit... mmmm...

*slaps self*

This is much better! I realize I haven't commented on this before, but it seems to have gone from being a first-aid device to awesomeness! I wish I had more to say but my opinions have already been stated. Just one thing about the newest screen: That thin mountain in the upper-left has a weird-looking peak... I'm probably imagining it though, so don't worry about it.

It's really nice to see a hack from the master critic himself! Now don't screw up, k?

So this is what I have for the background so far. (I was bored, so I moved up the schedule. Heh.) Same poles and ground, but the tombstones are removed, and there's a statue at the top of each of the poles. Those that are pictured are all that are there. It does look a little barren, so I'll likely add a few dark clouds here and there.

As for the foreground...

Tombstones... I don't know what to do with them, as I said earlier. They're better than they started as but not as good as I'd like. The ground, for the time being, is the typical grass graphics with a dark, lifeless palette. Depending on the response I get, I'll leave it as it is or try something else - I actually kinda like it, but as you may have guessed, my ego prevents me from properly judging my own work.

For the main overworld shot, mainly all I see changed is the path palette. It looks better tho. Good job.

For the graveyard, I like the poles that you put up with the statues. The koopa one looks kinda weird sitting there. I know there is a pole, but it just looks odd. Question: Are the poles BG, and the tombstones FG? If so, then if its a moving BG, ignore my comment about the koopa. The forest ground that is by the tombstones still looks bad. Try using some custom graphics for it, and make it look better please. I like the grass ground with a dark palette tho. It actaully looks very good. Maby some custom GFX would look better, but I don't really know what you could come up with. And since it's a graveyard....maby some bones? Just a thought. A moon would look fuckin awesome in the BG tho...Oh, and mist might be a nice effect.

Good job, lookin forward to any sort of test. Demo or final release. Keep up the good work.

Overworld: That's because I didn't want to clumsily put up several screenshots detailing every change. The general message I was trying to convey is "Things have been improved." You can also see a differently worked ladder.

Cemetary: Yeah, the poles and statues are in the background (same as the forest ground you keep mentioning), while the tombstones are foreground. As for a moon in the background... That would be really, really awkward, since... It would keep scrolling around over and over again and give the impression that there's several moons there.

The tombstones look bland and could use something of a pattern at the very least, that is if not anything writen.

As it is they look like just odd misshapen rocks.

Why not just put R.I.P on them?

Nothing else looks bad, but some kind of dark cloudyness would help the background big time.

These are just sudgestion by the way and ofcource you do not have to do them.

As for a moon, why not at the begining of the level just put it on the forground and have it look as if it was in the background?
