Hi. I don't know if anyone here will remember me but I'm from way back on acmlm's original board. As in when the original Second Reality Project was the benchmark for Good Hacking.
I figured I'd come back to show off what i've been working on. Photos are at the bottom, just Ctrl+F "PHOTOS" if you want to see them without wading through a wall of text. I just figured I'd talk about the hack a bit so that people realize that yes, this is a serious game. You can get the first demo here. A second demo should be out on June 5th. INTRO --- I'm basically trying to make a completely new game with the Super Mario World engine. It's pretty great. The atmosphere of Season of Glass is heavily influenced by Earthbound. Earthbound (Mother 2) is named after a song by John Lennon and was picked specifically because it doesn't sound like a video game title. Season of Glass is named after a Yoko Ono song and was picked specifically because it doesn't sound like a video game title. I like the idea of Earthbound. The battle music sounds about 10 years ahead of its time. Listen to these two songs and tell me he doesn't sound influenced by earthbound at all. Earthbound Flying Lotus I like the plot, I like the character designs, I like the fact the game has a sense of humor. The only problem is that I hate RPGs with a passion. I do not like pressing one button for 60 hours. The best way to describe Season of Glass is Earthbound but a brutally hard platformer. It's not as bad as I Wanna Be The Guy. It's closer to Battletoads with infinite lives. (As a note, whenever the characters speak with improper grammar or with stilted diction, like the King of Lazers, it's deliberate. You'll see why when the game is finished...) MUSIC --- I'm planning on making every piece of music in this game custom. I'm trying to go for a somewhat gloomy/trippy feel for evertyhing in the game. Here are the SPCs for the first few songs I've finished. MY CASTLE IS LIE! The Illusion World in Season of Glass takes place in several magical castles. They are not like castles in other hacks that are at the end of worlds because all of them share the same gimmick: Most of the castle is an illusion. These illusions are very diverse, ranging from having the exit constantly move out of reach to forcing Garfunkle to rely on Splats to determine what is real or fake (Splats only make illusory ground shake when they hit a wall) As a result it's more disorienting than intimidating. Season of Glass This is the theme song for Season of Glass. It's very simple but...touching? It's supposed to bring to mind the music of GOOD RPGs. It's supposed to make you very sad but be uplifting at the same time. Garfunkle Goes Forth This is the music for the introductory world of the game. I'm pretty happy with how it sounds but i'll probably fool around with the echo commands because I don't like how much echo is on the percussion. Kimochi Warui! This is the music for the water world. It is a place that is flooded with orange goo. Crystal islands pop up from the water and there is an cave system beneath the waves. Happy Fun Swamp (Work in Progress) This is the theme for the bayou world, which is analogous to lava caves in other games (the swamp water is acidic). Despite the fact that it's a very dangerous place, the atmosphere is relatively cheery. This song is going through a massive revamp. Welcome to Art City (Have a Slurpee) Art City is a frozen wasteland. Things live in it, sure, but it is a shadow of its former self and always awash in a sick orange/purple glow. Yaranaika?! Yaranaika is the final boss. I wanted a theme that would simultaneously be very weird and very epic. The theme is mostly in 11/8. --- GRAPHICS --- I'm not doing much work on the graphics. Dinomar, Construct101, Midna, and TheGamer have all offered to help with that and I am very thankful to you guys. However, the plan is that every graphic in this game will be custom and not seen anywhere else. --- PLOT --- This is Garfunkle. 
She's a down-on-her-luck cartoon hero who is in the employ of the Icepicks, a mob of horrible ...things. She decided to retire early and stole $100 000 of her boss' money. It's a good thing Garfunkle can never actually die... --- PHOTOS --- As a warning some of these are slightly out of date. But generally not by much! Also any enemy in the game that is currently a super mario world enemy WILL be changed.

Looks psychedelic as hell, and that's a good thing imo. ____________________ oh |
