I've been working on a hack of my own called Luigi's Trilogy where Luigi is the main character. So, after 2 weeks of long hacking, I finally finished my OW's. Here they are:


The main OW. Here, there are 4 worlds(sorry I forgot to add the castles, minor mistake): Green Plains, Mushroom Heights+Lagoon, Forest Maze, and Pirahna Plateau.


The 3rd world, Inferno Cove.(Mushroom Heights+Lagoon is the 2nd world)


The 4th world, Frozen Valley.


The 6th world, Sky Zone.(Forest Maze is the 5th world)


The 8th world, Desert Hills.(Pirahna Plateau is the 7th world)


The 9th world, Bowser's HQ.


And, the ? world, Boo's Caverns, a secret world.

Oh yeah, here's how I decided to go for the Bowser's entrance:

Sexy, huh?

The "I know's"-----
1. I know im missing some castles.
2. I know im missing some castle's number sign thingy.

Things to come----
1. Mushroom Houses.
2. Those SMB3 rocks(they'll replace the ones on Frozen Valley)
3. A storyline .
4. Levels .
----and other things, you'll see.
I haven't created any levels since i've been so obsessed with my OW's. But, i'll keep posting news as I go along.

So....any comments, any "can you make me a OW", ........any flames?

EDIT:I forgot I also have to red levels, sorry!

No 'red' levels, when there are clearly secrets.
And you should probably make world 5 more maze-like (put trees instead of path outlines.

Other than that, it looks nice. Hope the levels are...

Haha... I just imagined a comical fist entrance. Huge earthquake, slightly imtimiadting music. For one second after the 'quake, nothing happens. Then, all of a sudden, *BOOM!* A fist punched its way out of the sand.

I could've sworn I've seen that secret world before. I remember the weird palette-work.

Am I the only one to notice the lack of fortresses, ghost houses, and even secret exits? To me, it feels very linear. Look at Pirhana Plateau. Look at the desert. Look at the secret world. They all lack secret exits. Even the ones that DO have secret exits, with the exception of Forest maze, have one or two.

I can't spot any fortresses along the way, and only 2 ghost houses also.

Sure they look alright, but at the same time, they're bland. Also, may I suggest changing Frozen Valley's upper hills palettes. The Star World palette doesn't look good in there.

Great job on the overworld here, I can see the main theme of the overworld is grasslands, trees, and lakes, with a nice variety of decor to boot. I also see that you left other themes (like desert, cave, etc.) to the submaps. It isn't actually a good or bad thing, really.

There is only one graphical glitch in this picture, and you have two problems with cliff proportions.
1: The cliff height above the ocean near the top of the screen is the same height as the cliff part above land, so the main landmass in the middle must be at the same height as the ocean, right? Well, the ocean is then lower than the land in the bottom-left corner of the map, and the ocean can't be at different heights in different places (unless the moon is really close, causing some extremely high tide )
2: On the middle landmass, the height above the ocean is lower than the height above the lower landmass. If anything, it should at least be the other way around, and not by alot if that's the case.
3: As for the one graphical mishap, there is one water tile barely to the southeast of the sunken ship that should be different. It's one of those animated water tiles that you see in the ocean, but it's supposed to be one of those calmer water tiles found next to cliffs and land.

Are those little cracked stones with yellow in them gold veins? If so, you get the honor of being the first person (AFAIK) to do that. I like it.

I'm just not sure about the little 16x16 hills with eyes, I just think they don't belong well havign the same color as the ground. May I suggest darkening him just a tad? Of course, darken the one on the lower ledge, too, because it's in a shadow (or shade?).

Green snow? Yuck. If it was white with a hint of blue, It would look nice, but white with a hint of green? No thanks. I do, however, see those rocks again with the yellow, it reminds me of Alaska, because htey once had a gold rush.

Also, since the ground is technically frozen over and there is little moisture in the air, the pathway should be a little darker, leaning towards brownish.

Bowser's place looks nice. The skulls could use a tad more detail though. And why aren't you using Bowser's main entrance to the castle? Is it because Mario is being Mr. Shneaky Shneaky and coming through the back door? That's what I'm guessing.

I don't like the palette here. I can't think of any way to greatly improve it, so I'll just leave it at that.
Originally posted by Omega

Nice Idea with the fist, but what does it do to mario? Does he go inside it? How about making a hole or something in the hand for Mario to crawl through?





I think your overworld looks very nice. What I gave you were a few tips on how you could improve it and wat you can improve, and what I thought. This overworld is so good already, that you may not need to make many of these changes, except for the palette in Boo Cavern. Great job, Omega.

I know how that could be sort-of done:
1. set the event that generates the earthquake to the one that the fist appears
2. set the events to generate a lot of ground tiles continuously that don't make a difference
3. make the big fist suddenly appear (but I don't know how to make the boom sound)

Most of the palettes look really bad, the ripped graphics don't fit in, and the original graphics look undetailed and unfitting. The main map is alright, but very linear, and the straight edges don't look natural at all. The other maps are all quite bad. Some are designed decently, but the palettes simply ruin them.

Other than that, though, it's perfect.

Yeah....I'm gonna have to disagree with ya there and go with what Alastor said. The main overworld is ok, and the hand looks ok but could use more colors. Other than that, not so great. Mkay?

Sorry for not replying you guys. Okay, let's clear up some questions.

@Doritokiller: Yeah, the level before the hand activates the earthquake sequence and the hand comes out.

@SNN: I am aware of all the fortress, ghost house, and secret exits shortage. I'm still working on it.

@Goldensunboy:
Main OW: I'm not planning on changing it except for fortress's, GH's, and secret exits.
Inferno Cove: About the 16x16 hills, I'm gonna erase them don't worry.

Frozen Valley: I'm aware of the palette issues it's because I made it over the Forest of Illusion sub-map.

Desert Hills: The tree plants share the palette of the the rest of the FG, so I'm going to change them in YY-CHR.

Bowser's HQ: You guessed right. Mario will sneak into Bowser's Castle through the backdoor.

Boo's Mines: Many people hated the palette here, I know that. I'm still working on it since, the YI mountains share the palettes with the rest.

The Fist: I'm actually going to make a hole before the fist to make it look like he's going underground.

@smwedit: About the "boom" sound, I'm actually trying to find the SFX of how the thunder SFX of the small flying Bowser so, I could implent it after the earthquake but, I'll doubt i'll get it done......

@Alastor the Stylish: Umm......thanks, I guess.....

@Kario: The colors. I know, I know, I know.

Thanks for the replies you guys and I'll work on anything I can.

Hmm... the fist's good and all, but I think it could stand to have a bit more shading.

Also, is it there when you first enter the area, or does it rise from the sand when you beat a certain level? The second would likely look cooler.

I know, I suck at shading. I'll see what I can do.

Yeah, after you beat the level before the hand, the earthquake sequence starts and it rises up. I would post a GIF of how it would look but, I can't find a free GIF Maker.....

Try Microsoft GIF Animator.. It's old, but it's free and it works quite well.
