Oh why the hell not:

<object width="480" height="385"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/KOkVUmrMONc?fs=1&hl=nl_NL" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>

I am not really planning to make a bottom screen like SMK did (although I'm not saying I definitely won't), and I don't know if I will make other racers, but what I definitely will add is:
- more interaction, obviously
- a timer
- item contents
- a background to mix with the colour gradient, like clouds or something

The entire pack (with multiple tracks, also custom ones) will be released during C3 (November 13th-14th) on SMWCentral

Roy Fuzzyfreak, what makes you so awesome is that you come up with great ideas... and then you have to knowledge to make them happen

Maxwell: I'm going to be harsh.. First, the music track there is painfully unsuited for the soundfont, and I ended up muting the video it sounded so bad. Second, the washed-out platforms do not look good, and you're left guessing as to what's foreground and background at first because of the colour issue. Second, that level seemed rather unsuited to mario gameplay (probbaly as it's kirby-styled), though with a better track or soundfont that might be fixed - but you should check your coin placements to make sure the arcs on some of the jumps better match mario's jumps. What little I saw and heard of the underground area I liked, but the background could stand to be a bit busier.

All in all, the potential's there, you just need to realize it a bit better

Fuzzyfreak: Nice. Where do you plan on taking this, and what expansion chip did you pick?

@Sukasa: Yea people have said that the audio needs to change and I agree. What are the washed-out platforms that you're talking about?
Also, I didn't find that harsh really because, it is criticism and that's what helps people better their work

Also here are some new screens:

xdaniel: NICE!

Maxwell: Have a look at 0:30 in that vid - that's what I'm talking about with the washed-out platforms.

Now, with these new pictures.. The first one looks excellent. The last three Look nice, but you need to darken the background to differentiate it from the foreground - using the same palette is a mistake, because the purpose of using "washed-out" or darker backgrounds is to give the player proper level cues - what's safe to jump to, what isn't, etc.

The second picture, with the off-colour chuck, has a few issues. First, the 3d road there conflicts horribly with the art styles in the rest of that image AND the rest of the game. Second, the chunk's colour set looks wrong, he's mostly unsaturated grey with the notable and jarring distinction of the highly-saturated red - it just doesn't look particularly good. The palette on the foreground and background is great, and the background itself is impressive.

Oh. Well those ones are just like the darker platforms expect you can walk/be in-front of them. I didn't really see any problem with having two types of platforms but...

The "FG" is actually the background and what Mario is walking on is a row of transparent solid blocks. I didn't really see any problem with the "FG" and BG being together since they were from a rip of the Genesis game Contra Hard Corps but...

I was trying to make it look like a robo-cop. What do you think I should change?

Yea, that's true. Eh, I'll see if I can get it to mix with other concepts/stuff to make it look nice enough. Otherwise I'll probably just trash it.

3d in that sort of perspective with 2d flat sprites can work if you have a good reason for it and it's obvious at which level the "real" ground is... certainly it wasn't unheard of, especially on the NES. (Of course, you can get away with uglier graphics on 8-bit games ) Personally I don't mind it that much.

No new video, because I'm lazy, but two new screenshots of the Zelda actor viewer:




Downloads, older screenshots, etc.: http://z64.spinout182.com/index.php?topic=135.0

EDIT: Okay, so I did make another video after all, but YouTube's being stupid right now and it's stuck at the processing stage for an hour or two already. It should be available at my channel at some point in the near future... hopefully.

EDIT 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSiHct_uYDc - finally...

I feel like something's kinda off about these graphics... (and no, I don't mean the status bar and Wario's palette being off)

An alpha screenshot of my first hack thingy ever: Cressenstein! It's a hack of Spear of Destiny, that'll have some imported graphics, my character as the main character, and remixed levels!

This should be fun.

That looks great... I assume the lighter-colored blocks can be passed through, and the darker colored ones are solid?

Also, are those trees at the top part of the background, or are they interactive? Though, I suppose that would be easier to tell in the actual game...

I am guessing they are foreground (in front of Wario)? If they aren't, you could try making them so, it wouldn't look bad from that screen... (unless it could innecesarially obscure gameplay in the rest of the level)
