Hey Schwa, you're fast with learning Computer related things, don't you? The boss seems good, but a little bit hard. ^^ But that's again, you're opinion. Say, how does it come that you're so fast with learning ASM?

Believe in me, that's one of the benefits of being Autistic.

But don't get the wrong idea. I might be learning fast, but I'm still quite the beginner; I tried making a sprite from scratch with mikeyk's tutorial and I can't even get the graphics to draw properly. I was trying to draw a 32x32 sprite and animate it... No dice. It just gives me flickering garbage over the entire middle of the screen. ...I wish Nightfall was ready... I could ask for help...

Anyway, thanks for the compliments on my custom boss. He took some setting up, but he wasn't that hard to do, since he was mostly based off mikeyk's Birdo... And yes, I know, I can't draw to save my life. Sorryyy...

Also, he is a little challenging, but there's some secrets to beat him. If you have the Cape, you can whack the canes out of the air, grab them before they fall, and throw them at him for a more accurate attack.

Also, I updated this guy. Now he does two things differently: 1) Each time you hit him, you get points. The more he's been hit, the more points he's worth, and you get a 1UP when you defeat him. 2) He starts out not being able to jump very high or throw very often, but as he takes damage he jumps higher and throws more often. This makes for a gradually harder fight.

NICE job on the music, SNN! The Last Battle is catchy and expertly done-- I love how you even got the echoes to sound right! I'm listening to this SPC right now as I type.

Ah, so you're taking a break from these musics? I know how that is. How's your actual hack coming along? I saw some of the hack on YouTube (Boothoven's Fort), and it's awesome. This is gonna be one of those great hacks that ranks up there with TSRP2 (which is probably the best hack of all time).

Well, I have something new too. But it's not a video, it's a screenshot of part of my Overworld-- one of the submaps. I just HAD to show this off...

World 6 - Jigsaw Island

I'm gonna have to wholeheartedly thank Mattrizelle (or however you spell it) for providing me the offset to disable the Bowser Valley submap lightning. Otherwise the palettes would look all glitchy.

Anyway, this World is, as you could probably guess, based on puzzle solving (though I have none of the levels done for it yet).

That water level you see isn't actually a level. It's labeled "Wading Pool", and it's the destination drop-off point for another one of those dynamic Overworld warps in World 5. (The warp is a level located in a whirlpool in the Ice World, and it's called "Tempest".) The two pipes are cool; one leads from World 2 (where Mario's standing), and the other leads to World 7, but if you play through World 4 first instead, you come FROM that pipe, and you can play the neighboring level to get back to World 2 instead of the other way around. (The secret exit for that level actually leads onto the island, where you can make your way towards the castle.)

Freeform Overworlds are made of win.

Yeah, there was that small bug, flame climbed the wall. Very neat boss, although he seems a little boring. How about making him stop randomly and spit direct fireballs at Mario? Or sending a clockwise spinning flameline sometimes?

Put him inside a ice world, and just before you get to the boss the player see's that the ice is turned into water and there is molten rock and stuff everywhere

Hooooo, that's a tall order there... I'd have to import/write some code that deals with Extended sprites as opposed to Custom sprites, and set up some Tables and new commands to determine when he fires the special attack, and *probably* re-map some tilemaps for the guy. So it IS possible... I'm just not up to it right now.

Are you good at coding sprites? If so, I could send you the code for Fryguy and you could improve upon it if you wanted.

...And yeah, those Kids don't handle collision with walls too well... I might be able to change them around a little, but again I'm not up for it right now. It'll get done before the hack's release though.

Ooh, good idea.

I think I'm gonna be funny and do that at a moment's notice; the scenery changes in the room RIGHT before the boss fight. XD

While Pandaren was busy critiquing my firey friend here, I was busy giving Reznor a workout.

Uh, I don't know nothing about coding sprites. Just giving some ideas

Oh.

It's hard, hard work. People like mikeyk and smkdan are Gods at this sort of work; I don't know how on Earth they know the stuff they do about this... This Fryguy took me a day and a half to get to work, and it's still rough around the edges. Believe me, the way I had it planned out in my head isn't quite like how it actually turned out.

I mean they're good suggestions... but it's not as easy as you think.

Thanks for the kind words Schwa, I really appreciate it. Right now I haven't picked up and gone full stream on a project, but I'm waiting to get some free time so I can work on a MM1 hack.

As for your progress, it's coming along pretty good. Seeing this makes me wanna pick up my SMW hack demo. I like how you added Fryguy, I'll be keeping an eye out for this hack.

In case you're interested, MiOr made an extended sprite inserter.

(to Boing) Whoa! I'm gonna need to check that out. ...Hey, who is this MiOr, anyway? I keep hearing about him but I don't know a thing about him...

Anyway, who's curious about why I monkeyed with the Reznor boss?

I'll tell you. I'm making a Reznor-themed level. Behold!

MiOr is the Japanese author of Mario Fantasy aswell as many custom sprites.

Nice work on this hack, BTW. It's another hack I'll keep a watch on.

Wow, single Reznors in a level is a really great idea! (Heh, I'm going to need to think up some interesting enemies if I want to compete with your hack.) The only thing that bothers me about them is their palette, it should be more like the original. Also, the fact that I can see slowdown isn't good.

Quick question: I'm guessing you made the sledge bro. spit the spiked ball custom sprites that come with Sprite Tool?

(to smkdan) DUDE. ...Thanks for the Flying Wiggler sprite. You rule.

(to darklink) Ooh, thanks! *downloads*

(to Boing) Haha, I finally impressed you!

I thought about the palette thing... See, I have two variations of Reznor-- the one you see, and a red version that fires faster and occasionally jumps into the air to slam the ground. What I'll probably do is change the blue Reznor back to the earth color, and make the red Reznor a similar color only more orange. ...And yes, these sprites are based off Sledge Bros. and the fireballs are based off Spikey Balls. (All I had to tweak on the spikey balls is the graphics routine so they would have four frames.)

<object width="425" height="350"> <embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/W5sZANUzOaY" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350"> </embed> </object>

Here's a new video. I made two new custom sprites. One is Cobrat from SMB2, based off Snifit, Birdo and the Ground Pound Koopa (he takes 4 stomps to kill). The other is my FIRST COMPLETELY FROM SCRATCH sprite: the Treasure Chest. Touch it, and it opens and out pop 12 coins, one at a time. It doesn't work terribly well with Fire Flowers though... Guess why. *hangs head*

Here, I'm releasing the Treasure Chest to the public. Download!

Oh, and Boing, you don't need to worry about competition. Your hack is still awesome.

Hey, Schwa, just wondering. Is the music in your YouTube demonstration videos remixed by you, or is it just downloaded?

...and if they're original, can I have some?

(to darklink) Thanks and thanks.

Too bad about the fireball problem though.

(to Koneko-- yes, I'll still call you Koneko) Nah, I'm about as savvy with music as a bowler using a cardboard box instead of a bowling ball. I download all my music at a website called Galbadia Hotel (to mods, please remove the link if I broke a rule; I forgot if it's in the FAQ or not). The names of the tracks are in the YouTube descriptions I wrote, if you must know (and my YouTube channel is in my sig now).

Okay, here's what I worked on today: Walking Ninji and "Shower Edition" Panser, both based off mikeyk's Shyguy sprites, and probably fully customizable with all of their features (though I haven't tested rideability or carryability). (Someone already made a Panser, but it sucks, so I made this one.)

<object width="425" height="350"> <embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/aJ3U5M3ZV7A" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350"> </embed> </object>

I'm releasing both of these. Here's the Ninji, and here's the Panser.

I'm really enjoying making these custom sprites. I wonder if spriting legends like MiOr, mikeyk and smkdan feel the same way?
