New Acmlm's Board, new Mario's Lost World thread. Let's hope I don't let it languish like the old one) First off, some new shots of previously completed areas:



Doing graphics for an ocean liner in a side-scrolling view is difficult. This is one of the first levels I started on, and I'm still not done with all the graphics for it.



Just showing the new border and text...



A variety of SMB2 enemies in the yellow switch palace.



Layer 3 water has priority now, basically. Not that anyone will have anything to compare to, but I've recently made a lot of efforts to tone down the difficulty on this level.




The wonders of remapping your sprites.



Not much has changed here. Still lotsa stuff for Yoshi to eat.



This castle is now completed. I redesigned a lot of it to fit my design philosophy of a castle being a comprehensive test of the world you've just played through.



Can you find your way out of the Sumos' forest? (I'm hard up for captions here...)



I've added a few Venus Fire Traps here, but otherwise it's the same as in the video.



Here's some clear shots of this level instead of a blurry video. It's still the same.



A bit more enemy variety here than previously revealed, plus my newly completed wooden trestles and stakes.



I'm aware the background is glitched in the first shot. I've been too lazy to fix that. The second shot is an underwater bonus area. The third shot is, like, a super secret area. With Splunkins.

OK, and here are some shots of the two new areas I've been working on this week. First up, Tribal Towers, the first vertical level:





A couple of original sprites here: Gabon and Grey Snifit, as well as my first use of Bomb Koopas and some snazzy red Rexes.

And here's my new jungley castle set:





Again, my castles are meant to include elements of all the levels from the world you've just gone through. All castle shots subject to change before the final release.

All right, so what do I have to do before I can release a three world demo? Finish the ocean liner set, finish my very rudimentary swamp tileset, and finish the level design for castle number two. I'm smelling an end...

Once again Icegoom that's looking really professional Sir. It puts me to shame that I've only done 4 (and a bit) of drivers in SMK. I'm really looking forward to playing this hack. It looks like a new Mario game on the SMW engine rather than a hack.

Well, so much for me making your castle for you. XD I figured this would happen eventually if I didn't hurry up and make it.

Glad to see you finally finished the first castle. The looks for the second one are nice, too, though, I'd like to see a few vines going around the bricks and stuff. Good luck with your hack....

Holy Shit! Too damn beautiful man. Love the graphics you've made and I hope to love the levels too, once you release a demo or the full version. Keep up the great work.

These screen are awesome Icegoom! I can't wait for you do release a demo or full version. And that's pretty sweet how you remapped the sprites.

Icegoom, you are easily my favorite SMW Hacker. I look forward to playing your hack on the big screen like I've never looked forward to a hack before (except maybe some of DD's hacks).

Do you plan to update the graphics of the chainsaw, or are you going to leave it as is? Come to think of it, it does look like you've done some work on it, but it's been so long since I've seen the original chainsaw I can't really tell.

I didn't think it was possible for graphics like that to be in SMW. It looks really good so far and I can't wait for a demo.

Nice graphics- the Peach Cruiser reminds me a lot of DKC's Pirate Ship levels.

The sheer level of detail in the graphics reminds me of the MMX series. Did you modify the game engine?

Well, if you got anything done on the castle at all, go ahead and send it my way. I'm sure I could use it in one way or another. I actually do have vine-covered brick graphics done, I just haven't done the map16 for them yet:

I just recolored it to make use of my 15 color palettes. That line-guided machine sprite is so strange I really am at a loss as to how I could redraw it. What is it even supposed to be? It's a blue box that changes shape with weird circles attached. I don't even understand how such a device is supposed to function. Yeah, I've never really liked that thing, but I'm not mechanically-minded enough to make a decent-looking replacement.

DKC2 remains a huge inspiration for me, but it is hard to follow its level design philosophy with SMW's engine.

Nah, I'm no programmer. If there's a patch for something, like classic fireballs or SMB3 bricks, I apply it, but have no ability to make such changes myself. The only data I'm really capable of finding is enemy tilemaps, but I've done extensive changes there to allow enemy combinations that would be impossible in the original game.

Eh, I only got like, two levels done (first room and optional "bonus" room to make the trek across to a block easier. ), so I don't think you could use them. I'll send them to you, anyways. How would you like them? The same way you sent it to me, or as .mwl files?

.mwl's should be fine. I've got plenty of back-ups if I want to see the rest of the hack as it was three months ago.

Whoa, your ablity to create such graphics just has me staring. It's simply amazing. Your level design looks fun, too. Heh, if you hack costed money, I'd probably buy it. :]

If you look at the box, there two red wheels on either side. The rope goes inbetween - it's a pulley system.

Those red circles are pulley wheels? That sort of makes sense, but the machine's not really centered correctly on the line for it to look like the rope's actually going through the wheels. And that totally wouldn't work on a vertical line unless the machine was turned on its side.

I've spent tonight integrating some areas pikaguy made for me into the jungle castle. I've also come up with an idea for how I might create a level with pseudo working Chain Chomps, but it's going to be a little tricky to implement...
