| This is really, really cool.
You may just have restored a bit of my faith in humanity. Though, the grass is a little overused. It shouldn't cover every single tile of ground, that gets boring. oh em gee. I think I'm eagerly anticipating a SMW hack for the first time since SMO. *applause* |

Originally posted by Synthrax + That looks nice! I can see the setting in this. However, I have a few suggestions on your graphics... 1. The background grass blends in with the foreground too much. In order to distinguish it with the foreground grass, you should make it so it blends with the sky color. For example: the current sky color is black, thus you would make the bg grass darker than the fg grass. 2. Your blocks seem a bit... plain. For the prize block, outlining for solids is usually a dark color, like dark green, dark purple, dark orange, etc. I'm unsure whether it will make a difference or not, but you might want to make the outlining a dark color. In general, though, your blocks should at least a bit of shading or slightly bold outlining like the default graphics, if possible. Otherwise, everything else is well done. Keep up the good work, and, despite my eagerness to play this, take your time.  |

| Zachio: It really doesn't blend to much it-game, but I am working on the background a bit.
eternaldragonx: Thank you. Though I may have to change the sprite due to a few walking issues...it just doesn't look right 
Koneko: I'm flattered 
Blue Warrior: Actaully, thats what I was just working on  I'm seeing what I can do now
and the blocks are actually animated with the glowing yellow color and it actually looks pretty good in-game. Maybe I could round the edges a bit and see what it looks like, but otherwise I'll probably keep it this way... |

| All these issues are hard to comment on at the moment, simply because of the lack of a playable demo. Things usually always seem different in game, than they do in screenshots. So keep it up Synthrax, and hopefully we'll have a demo soon. | |||

Originally posted by Clockwork JB It's kind of hard to make a demo of a hack that has only one level. Sure, you could only include sections of the level, but it'd be quite awkward. Besides, it'd be more fun to go through the entire thing in one big shebang. |

Originally posted by asdfOriginally posted by Clockwork JB Fair point, but still, it would be fun to just try the first section of the game, if only just to get a feel for the GFX and the gameplay. |

| Meh, I suppose just including the first section would be all right. The main problem I have with demos is that when the full hack is released, replaying the old levels (or in this case, the sections of the level) becomes more of a chore. Unless of course, the hack itself is a very fun, non-repetitive one. The decision is entirely up to Synthrax, though. |

A bit of a darker bg. Better or change it back? Also, I'll see what I can do about releasing a demo of like the first 2 sections.  |

| Better as it won't blend in with the FG as much. | |||

Originally posted by Synthrax + The bg looks great.  It helps distinguish the fg from the bg, so keeping it like that would be a good idea. Since it's darker, it also kind of helps give it an "eerie" feeling, in a way.
Also, for the prize block, like I said, I was rather unsure on that, so you can keep it how it is, if you want. Keep it up. I'll await the arrival of your demo. |

| Well I got the demo ready. There are still a few gltiches, but nothing major:
1. Mario's Big and small walking animations are still a bit....weird. They will be fixed. 2. Hatless Mario's clipping field still acts like he's small. Still need to find that data... Anyways, the demo is only playable up to the end of the first room in the castle. So play it, and like it.
EDIT: Ok what the hell is the point of having the attachment set to 125kb? I can't even upload a simple ips patch *sigh*....well here is a link to it on my site http://tekhacks.net/staff/chaos/SMWC/SMWTCdemo.ips (edited by Synthrax + on 02-25-06 12:33 PM) |

Just played the demo, it's a bit short but great so far. I have no problems with the question blocks, I like them, and yeah, you're right, Mario's movements are really a bit strange 
I really like what you did with the ghosts, great idea! I just want to say a few things. I'm sure you know about the noteblock-graphic-glitch, but there are a few others. In the very beginning, if you go to the left to the room with the message and go directly to the right again, the message will appear in the "Main room" and the mist disappear. I'm not sure about the boost block passage at the near end of the demo... these boost blocks are always a bit buggy, and it's sometimes a bit hard to end not up in a wall.

Originally posted by FPIYeah, I know...:/ Originally posted by FPIDidn't know that...Its been fixed.
I believe I worked out the kinks out of it so you don't die. I've placed stop blocks at the top and bottom of the blocks so Mario can't get threw them. While testing it, I have only have 1 instance in a different level of it not working right out of about 50 trys all doing different things. But haven't had it since then. I think thats fairly successful, and I may even beable to improve on it more. |

| If you aren't aware, THE CASTLE on the game demo isn't layer prioritized, and when Mario hits the blue POW, the music disappears and trying to log into a file will cause the game to black out. | |||
|
Chaos Force Just drifting by... Since: 11-17-05 Last post: 6301 days Last view: 6297 days |
| ||
| Yeah, that I knew also but forgot to mention. The Blue Pow thing will be changed in the final version, I've just been to lazy to do so THE CASTLE text however have been giving me problems. It has been prioritized, but it still does this for some reason. :/
EDIT: nm..apparently it wasn't. Its been fixed. (edited by Synthrax + on 02-25-06 04:59 PM) |
