Uploaded my new level, 2-2, using the Desert Ruins tileset.



Download Link's on the first post.

I also uploaded the update to my 1-4 from a while back.

The NSMB series has sold more copies because of its target audience. Nostalgic adults who buy them to re-enjoy the 2D platforming, and kids who'll whine to their parents until they fold like a piece of paper. Equals double the moneys.

Galaxy 1 and 2 are amazingly inventive, much more interactive, the level design is top-notch and unflawed, and at the risk of sounding like a graphics mook, the visuals are awe-inspiring. It's made with a lot more TLC, and it's pretty clear when you compare it to the generic-ness of the NSMB games.

Also, 3D Mario games just plain beat 2D Mario games. That's a scientifically tested and approved by Stephen Hawking as a fact.

Once we have 10 levels contributed, I'll put them all into a patch for the first beta.
EDIT: By that, I mean just to put all the levels together in one ROM, not release it.

Does anyone mind if I choose where to place the winning contest levels from forever ago? Nobody else is doing it. If I don't get any replies I'll do it anyway.

You've got the wrong idea.
I didn't mean to release what we've got so far. Just put it all in one ROM.
It's not a crazy idea to have all the levels we have to be put together every now and then.

New Goomba graphics aren't going to make the hack any better. We already have a Goomba, in NSMB style, so there is no need to change it.

Tilesets and Backgrounds are different. They are actually being used to create something different to that of the original game. The Goomba does not.

It's just like when someone suggested that we re-record Mario's voice, it's unnecessary and just makes the hack feel more amateurish than an actual game.

Okay, if you're going to resort to mimic-ing me with idiot logic, I'm not going to dignify you with a response.

Ok. I'll add your level when I can... I've started my second trimester at Uni a week ago so my free time is very minimal right now.

I knew it was a good idea to create a wiki!



Well, I just added most of the unfinished hacks here to the "upcoming" section, though I should probably clean out the dead ones.

Just a minor update; a test with activators.



These kinds of rooms will be replacing every castle boss in the game (besides Bowser).

Note that it's just a test.

Really, just submit stuff you find hilarious here.

Just anything from Image Macros, to knock-knock jokes. If it makes you, as they put it, "ROFLMAO" then help out your fellow man and post it here.

We shall be thoroughly entertained.

I'll start it off with something kinda random and Zelda-related:

Rayman. /pun

Make Mario into Waluigi and he can be the hero of the Prawn Kingdom.

Would anybody like another round of screenshots?

Here you go, then:



Note that that W3 Castle Tileset does still need some serious work.

Your English kind of broke down a bit there. But do you mean to say that you want to do a smaller, less ambitious collaborative hack just for entertainment purposes? If so, there's a few logic holes in that idea.

-Collaborative hacks are specifically for making something bigger than anybody can do alone. It seems to me, that your plan is to make a vanilla-grade hack that can practically be put together within a few months, which you as the project leader would take most of the credit for. Essentially making everyone do the work for you.
-Making a hack is NOT fun, period. It's tiring, repetitive, and stressful, and after you're done with it everyone takes it and pokes at it until even you hate it, and you get absolutely nothing out of it. I know this, I've made 3 and have 2 others being developed in secret. Making a hack is something that require true dedication.

Take this advice into consideration, because dedication is a true representation of your character.

I... could show you mine, but it's kinda NSFW.

Normally, I wouldn't post such a small update; this time I felt I had too as the visuals are gorgeous.



Level is empty obviously, but it looks very charming with more stuff.

It's too bad I can only really use it in one level...

My P-Wing was... stolen by  P-Wing.

Holy Crap.

IzirFeather brought it to my attention that the total downloads for Bugfix 1.3 jumped up to over 4600, whereas last week it was only at 83 so far.

This just doubled the total downloads for Clone Tag Team (since July 12 2012 release) in a single week. I suppose I have 3D World to thank for that!
