You could always do something similiar to what Lord Trasher did with Ninji Saga and have it all be a series of places connected by teleporters in a mechanical world-type dealie. |
As for the name, I'm pretty sure Luigi's Quest isn't taken. (restricted) |

Originally posted by SomeguyActually, we had a small convo via PM. Thing is, he was saying that Pichu's FRONT SMASH sends the other guy farther than Bowser's, and one other guy's. Either way, all of the mentioned character's front smashes sucks due to the horrendous range on them. For Mr. Game and Watch, he said the cheap attacks are manhole and parachute. Yeah. I don't think I even have to say what's wrong with that. Mewtwo's he said his attacks stun so they're easy to link in combos (even though they're still slow, and most of his attacks don't actually stun). As for Roy's Counter... Well... Counter leaves you open and anyone good will vary their techs enough so that you can't see it coming all the time, and then a lot of the time they can see your counter coming and then just not use an attack there, and then charge up while you're countering and unleash something after you're done. He also said that Counter can be used to stop combos, but I countered that argument with a statement that many combos, particularly those from the characters that are really good at comboing, are strung together too fast for that to actually work, since there's a slight time between when the move is used and when it protects you. The convo ended shortly after Zerodius said there were no bad characters, because he didn't respond when I said, and I quote, "Oh, now everything makes sense. You're one of those causal players who doesn't believe in tiers Here's where I would normally draw out a long and winded argument about how no one who isn't perfect could possibly make a completely balanced game where there are no unbalancedly bad or good characters when characters are of such obviously different styles, but you know what? It's be a waste of time and I don't feel like arguing right now." Note the redundancy there. I was really tired when I wrote it  (edited by Kyouji Craw on 06-14-05 06:52 PM)

Since you've probably seen most of everything else already, all that's featured here is four screenshots. Four NEW screenshots. |
 Overworld as it is now  Since you're probably wondering, that giant ladder leading up leads to... This road area in Star World. Completion of Star World 1 opens up the ladder, and 2-4 destroy stuff in your way (so that once all are completed, you can access Star Castle). Naturally, star world warps, and thus access to the areas where you do stuff to unlock the castle, are spread throughout the game.  While I don't have screenshots of the star world levels (since as of posting this the only levels that are actually done since the last demo are Luccara Cemetary and Secret 3 - Early), here's Star Road itself which is pretty much just what's shown here and side exits.  Here's the cemetary area, which as you may have guessed from the new ghost house overworld tile typically accompanies ghost house areas. (edited by Kyouji Craw on 06-14-05 11:32 PM) (restricted) |

Wow! Something man-made, such as a tombstone, that looks unnatural? THIS IS SUCH A HORRIBLE TURN OF EVENTS, ALERT THE MEDIA. Or maybe, just maybe, it doesn't look natural because it isn't. |

Originally posted by Glyph PhoenixThis is confusingly worded. Do you mean that most of the things from the old version would look nice if they didn't have text on them, or that they look nice?

Originally posted by Glyph PhoenixYou don't have to enter it to progress, though. It's not a level. It's just... There. Originally posted by Glyph PhoenixYeah, I'm not gonna deny this. They do look pretty crappy. Backgrounds were never my forte. Still, have you seen the only other graveyard tileset out there? That makes this look like the best thing ever.

Well, I could take out every other line and shorten the ones that stay. |

Alright, alright, I've taken glyph phoenix' advice and replaced the text-style lines with more of an old, eroded texture. Recheck the screenshot. |

Originally posted by KeikoniumThat's kinda the point, though. It's SUPPOSED to be directly related to SMW. I mean, the game takes place in Dinosaur Land so why would it look really different? I don't believe everything needs to be new in order to make a good hack, and even when I do change things around, which is fairly common, I always try to keep it in the same basic style as that of SMW. Originally posted by KeikoniumYou're right about most everything. I'll see if I can rework them to follow what you said. A few things, though - there are some dirt clumps elsewhere. Actually, that area has a lot of them before the star world warp area appears over them. Also, I don't quite follow you when you say there's a clash between tiles that are right next to each other... I haven't heard this complaint before, ever, and when I play the hack with others with ZSNES' netplay feature a few people have even complemented me for not screwing it up by making something ugly despite them being next to each other Originally posted by KeikoniumAgain, it looks the same because I don't want it to be different. It's fine how it is, and it's not like we've seen it all too much - heck, I can't think of a single other hack that had the overworld changed that had a Star World. Edit: Except Demo World. And it doesn't really compare, seeing as all semblance of a ground was removed in it. Originally posted by Keikonium Yeah, okay. Actually, I was never really satisfied with the look and practically my entire intention in posting this thread was to get feedback on the graveyard design. The koopa and goomba fixtures thing is actually a really nice idea. Thank you, kei. And I probably will use different ground graphics. I think the grassland graphics I'm using now would look good in it if I gave it the right palette, actually. Originally posted by KeikoniumWhere was it too hard? Seriously, this one really gets me  The only even remotely hard part of the hack, as far as I know, was the boss battle in Mysterious Castle 2, which is being redone in the new version. Everything else simply took a little practice for new players to beat. Reason parts of it were rather easy is because, well, again, the original SMW was like that and I want to retain primarily the same feel. It's still fun, which is the entire point. It's never really pitifully easy, so... If you could present a more detailed case, I would gladly listen. Now, as for it being fairly unchanged... Wtf I don't know how to respond to that. It just... Gets me. I don't know what you mean at all.Everything Aioria says: Yeah, well. Frankly, I just don't give a damn what you have to say. (edited by Kyouji Craw on 06-15-05 01:12 AM)

There seem to be a lot of... Conflicting opinions regarding the overworld, so... |
GoYo: Yeah, it's supposed to be gloomy. Regarding the second one... Yeah. I don't have anything. Regarding the third one... I'm going to make an all-purpose statement here saying that the font I used looks quite a bit better when larger and, um, pixellated. And seeing as GoYo was the only one who gave comments about it that were in any way specific... That's the only thing I can really say, since I already said it's both not long and not a level. EDIT: You know what, screw it. I'm redoing the font... There have been too many complaints. Regarding the fourth one: XD I get the point already, change the ground on the foreground and completely redo the background (edited by Kyouji Craw on 06-15-05 01:22 PM)
