Kino is back on the menu.

>>8139304
>Free from /trash/
fucking finally.

reposting to make sure this lives

It's funny how we did make some legitimate progress in the /trash/ thread. Some of the art is nice, too.

im here accidently what is this

>>8139363
yeah, i'm thankful for all the people who've made cool shit for this hack

Another /trash/ thread!

>>8139391
>>>/trash/41651525

>>8139364
a hack

>>8139304
Is /v/orld 1 meant to be played with or without custom sprites? My rom has none but I've seen someone on youtube where the sprites were different

>>8139474
You're playing the original edition. That YouTube video used the newer Actual Art Edition, which has the new sprites, as well as a revised Moot fight at the end.

>>8139474
There's a version called actual art version that new organizer evidently released when we started this one. Navigate to the vorld 1 page from the second link in the OP and click download remastered if you want it.

Based

Wario

is the boxart finally done?

>>8140324
nearly done.

YOU

I was wondering what the fuck happened with the /v/orl thread since it's been almost a week and even shu hasn't done a thread in s4s since the last one died

>>8141194
I'm waiting for even smallest drama to die out at s4s before I can make new thread, and I need breaks also.
Recent progress from friends so far. https://files.catbox.moe/bpbbhr.zip

>>8141194
The previous /vr/ one was the last to be started by the project organizer, and I think some personal stuff is going on with Shu. So we've been on the /trash/ fanart threads instead, where we made progress on the characters and overworld graphics. OP also showed up with a video clip of the Cancer Lord fight.

>>8141206
>I think some personal stuff is going on with Shu.
It's truly a curse on how my life gotten since that scene I watched from childhood, and it follows me to today. Saying more would be dangerous ideas, especially on 4Chan. And OP is also struggling too.

>>8141228
CoverArt anon too has burn out.

>>8141240
Maybe I could try help Artfriend to get the line art done. Art is one of great therapy for the soul.

>>8141228
>>8141240
Yeah, I've felt for a while that the people are getting burnt out on the project. Not just from when they say it, but also from the slower activity of the threads. This hack would make for a fantastic sendoff, but if there ever is a /v/orld 4, I think 2023 would be a good time to start it, since that will be 4chan's 20th anniversary. But for now, I'm going to rest, having made levels and MIDIs and graphics.

Same. I made and tested more than enough levels for this, I hope the game will be finished soon so I can rest. I just hope it gets finished period. All this delay makes me worries, I've seen too many collabs taking forever to release or not releasing at all despite being 99% done.
I don't think there will be a /v/orld4 but that's fine. 3 SMW hacks was more than enough, all good things must come to an end. Well if one of you fags ever decide to make a /v/4 or another platformer romhack in the future I will always be ready to make levels for it.

>>8141329
God bless the poor soul who is foolish enough to try to direct a /v/4. Too powerful, it'll ruin his life. I find it more likely for a spiritual sucessor being a SMB3, YI or SM64 hack, if I'm being optimistic.

All 21 original characters are now ready for use. Some turned out better than others, but I hope everyone is playable in the final because they're all great.

>>8141857
HOLY SHIT THAT WAS FAST

>>8141857

>>8141857
Ayamari has the Moot-Sitting sprite.

>>8141857
All of the sprites are amazing! But the problem is the sitting sprite: All except Steve, Sneed, and Yotsuba are Moot. Like what anon said >>8142035

>>8142063
>>8142035
I'm aware. Due to the No Yoshi mod, it shouldn't be possible for the sitting sprites to show up anywhere (as far as I'm aware) in this hack. Making them would require 2 all new poses for all characters, minus Luigi and Moot, that would be 40 brand new poses.

Thanks by the way

>>8142084
One hand, I'd understand it so much, but on the other hand, it would feel wrong if there were a standalone character in different romhacks that's on it's own adventure and Moot appeared out of nowhere.

>>8142090
I wouldn't count on it. And if that was to happen, I think the creator wouldn't mind making those, so I wouldn't worry.

>>8142092
>And if that was to happen, I think the creator wouldn't mind making those, so I wouldn't worry.

Keep up the good work.

When's the REAL cat crossover?

nice overworld OP sure would be a shame if it glitched the fuck out after yamaku's shed

>>8141857
hello guys, i just wanted to say that BF is 82% done, it will be released tomorrow.

>>8142723
you also need to design overworld sprite, faggot
but you're based bro

>>8142390
That's pretty nasty. I wonder what causes it.

>>8142861
>>8142390

The special world pallet hasn't been done.
A very easy fix is just pasting the overworld pallet into the special world pallet.

>>8142390
>>8142861
Level 125 (FUNKY in original SMW) turn on special world palette and new koopa graphics when completed. It can easily be removed in the overworld settings.

great work, frens
>>8141857
HOLY COW NICE

>>8142974
cow's a boss, not a player sprite

I only got on board with the /vr/ thread, so I didn't want to be the one to post a new thread. I'm still adding stuff to the google doc as I go along, although I'm too brainlet to get the headings to show up in the sidebar. I've been in contact with organizanon, and have let him know about major glitches I've discovered even this late in development, eg getting the softlocked bonus game on a star-road, and using an exploit to skip 90% of a certain level.
looking forward to playing the magikoopa boss fight that I came up with. I'm really glad my idea made the cut.

>>8142931
that explains it. but I thought it was taking the star-road at the end of Special that caused the palette change/mario masks?

What level do you think is going to filter people the most?

>>8143082
From what I've seen in a stream, that hot/cold key level in world 3 is the earliest difficulty spike (it more like a world 4/5 level).
But I think the biggest one will be Sadist Course Ex.

>>8143082
The secret for that bigass cave level, assuming it doesn't get nerfed.

do you think lom will be able to beat alt-path?

>>8143552
Hopefully. We've been getting some valuable bugtesting out of those streams. A shame that the version he is using is a bit old and OP hasn't delivered a better one yet.

>>8143082
For a casual like me, Wiiiiide Bridge is the first notable difficulty spike, where using savestates becomes tempting. I like the fact that it doesn't have a checkpoint though.

>>8143785
as I said in the doc, my only complaint about wiiide bridge is that there's no checkpoint in the place the secret area shoots you into.
cave of cope is hard if you haven't mastered the art of swimming in SMW.

>>8143924
Right, I think there should be a message box like Liquid Sneak's on that level, because why not. I'm gonna send it along with some other updates to OP.

>>8143935
Nevermind, someone's already using that.

We're nearly there. Hope OP delivers the next test rom soon.

>>8141857
There was a glitch which caused the berry sprite to break, now it's fixed. I also gave Snacks an american Kirby edit, I hope the creator doesn't mind. Don't use the previous one.

Feel free to make revisions for them if you want, I added your new version now.

https://mega.nz/file/2xYkGRxb#VlEwtroUrrCxjtxSLVwTi7MjVHCcZ8ZR6mZybhwN2Ts

I recommend using the new files because some of the old ones had the wrong file size, which I think it's what caused the berry glitch.

For the person looking for good samples for Cancer-Lords theme.

It's the one from a few weeks ago, with the overworld. It has a bunch of annoying bugs, though.

>>8144574
Haha angry edition kinda looks better

>>8143935
the wide bridge checkpoint should be in this location, pic related.
also, if harmful black boxes get turned into coins (by a P switch), they still damage you! not sure if that's intentional.

thanks doc

Are we gonna make it bros?

SOUL Jungle is my favorite level so far. however, when I found the secret exit, it didn't seem to lead anywhere. wtf?

>>8146865
all we can do is try.

Well all the levels are done. All that is left to do is
>Patch all the bugs/glitches Lom found
>OP finish the final bosses + ROUND TWO
>Art Anon (me) to get off his fat fucking ass and finish the cover already
>All the music ports to get optimised

>dab on jannies.

>>8146893
Don't forget the castle 5 boss.

>>8145346

Good luck on the cover. And don't push yourself too much, I know it'll come out great for a spinoff entry anyway.

i took the time to edit some of the levels that feels tedious or frustrating as fuck to deal with, so here's some level i edited to try make it more fun.
>Do Americans Really?
>This is a Nice Castle
>DOOM stage
>Ice/Fire Key stage
>Enchanted Forest
>Blue Switch Palace
>Hamari Tower idk how to fix the checkpoint sorry

https://files.catbox.moe/zfomq2.zip

>>8148705
git gud

>>8148705
Are these edits according to one of the testing docs? Would be nice to know what exactly did you change.

>>8148705
You should've done what that batch of level fixes did and just uploaded the edited levels so it's easier to compare and insert.

>>8148705
The effort is appreciated but I think we should leave actual nerfs to the authors or OP himself.

That being said I think
>Blue Switch Palace
The baseball chucks placed just before the first midway point are cancer. I briefly compared and the only change I noticed was that you moved the bottom chuck 1 tile up, so I commend you for that.
>Hamari Tower
The cape section at the end of the third room is just pure unadulterated giga AIDS.
> At /v/oom's Gate
could use a fix at the very end, as it seems to be a random "fuck you you die" because those shells you bounce off aren't always where they ought to be. I could be wrong though. Otherwise I think this level is pretty straight forward and fun.
>Sadist Course EX
Honestly feel like the midway point shouldn't be blocked off. Should this mandatory level really be harder than every single previous level, every star world level, and every palace? Sure, why not, it's penultimate castle kino. But should it really be leagues above (and i'm gonna make some assumptions here as I haven't beaten ALL OF the following yet) bowsers castle, every world 7 level, and the finale? I mean the BR kid's TAS is over 4 minutes long.

>>8148950
how do I do that?

>>8149024

>>8149034
why you

>>8149034

fuck off

>>8149034
needs more previous versions of the hack uploaded from the days of dead anonfiles links

>>8149019
Sadist Course feels extremely fair. The only thing which should be changed is the midway.

>>8149273
Agreed, it is a very fun level. The precise reason I say it is leagues above the others is the no checkpoint.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tx4tOFhvTLE

>>>/trash/41711256

YOUR MOTHER IS A

random question, is there a death count on the credits?

>>8149275
in general, if a level is long and difficult, there should be a checkpoint. they're especially useful if the halfway point feels natural, and it's just before a tricky area, eg my suggestion for wide bridge >>8146458
while Baseball Bash lacked a checkpoint, it's still a good level, in fact I wouldn't want to add one. but, checkpoints are a good idea more often than not. it's almost like the original devs for SMW knew what they were doing, and created a good game with a good engine behind it.
I haven't played Sadist Course EX yet, but it sounds like a checkpoint is needed.

>>8148705
>Enchanted Forest
I assume you mean Enchanted Midnight. that place has too many precise jumps in a row with no break for the player. I wouldn't change too much, but I'd take away some stakes and enemies here and there to cut some slack.

>>8149275
It's og OP's magnum opus. It's not supposed to be fun lol, it's suppose to be a huge fucking filter. I think taking out the midway point thing would hurt its purpose, but I'm personally never gonna complete it without cheating anyway, so whatever, maybe you can convince him.

>>8149981
Same could be said for Booster and Paint Panic and those are fun

>>8150006
Your right about them being fun, perfect levels to end the postgame too.

>>8149361
Based beyond measure.

>>8149897
Sadist Course EX has a checkpoint, HOWEVER it's locked behind 4 switch blocks if you pressed them, so in short, you have to do the entire level in one go, and if you didn't press the switches you get the right to checkpoint but if you are going for all v coins, good luck in the journey because the final coin needs the fucking switch blocks activated WHY?!?!

>>8149981
>It's og OP's magnum opus. It's not supposed to be fun lol, it's suppose to be a huge fucking filter.
Well if that's true then I guess it's alright. pic related it's me trying to beat this level

>>8150804
>finally get to boss
>it's glitched
has this been adressed yet lmao

>>8151318
It's been pointed out before. I think it's because OP added a falling platform at the beginning so you have more time to react to the block-switching gimmick, which causes the glitch.

https://www.twitch.tv/lomelli
>280 deaths on Sadist Course EX
lol

>>8151449
Now 340. Here's hoping OP drops a more complete baserom.

>>8139363
Awesome I'll test this when its done

>>8151850
Don't forget to bring some savestates, it's a hard hack.

>>8152265
/v/tard doesn't actually play video games? What a shocker.

Playing /v/orld 1 right now, how do I achieve 46 exits? I have 45 right now, I already beat Bowser's Castle, do I need to beat it again?
Also what's the lore on this house?
>>8152664
I'm going to give you the benefit of a doubt and assume you're just trying to bait me again instead of being incapable of distinguishing between two pictures.

>>8152874
Nevermind, looking at full playthroughs it seems the maximum you can get on the title screen is indeed 45. Guess it's time to finally play through /v/orld 2 now.

am i supposed to draw any sort of conclusion with absolutely zero context? I'd sooner be able to write a book report after reading the paragraph on the back. Also thanks for leaking this unfinished hack, I guess? Kind of a dick move though but it looks fun so I ain't complainin.

>>8154193
No such thing as a dick move when the hack organizer is an asshole with those who work for him without payment.

>>8154112

Don't care, the hack has to be organized by someone regardless if it's some SMWC user or not. People have mentioned his presence since /v/1 or /v/2 and everyone just shrugged it off.

All I'm hoping for is that this hack doesn't die at the last second. Sure, the things that still need to be added are pretty large but right now we are waiting for OP to show us the completed bosses, the one anon who was working on the castle 5 boss who is nearly done and box art anon who said he was almost done as well.

You fags can talk it out in private or something, I don't give one fuck about this leak.

I think OP's going to do the remaining tracks if the other anons don't get them done already. Which is kind of unfortunate, seeing as he's already overworked with the bosses and extra features and such.

>>8154835
This would make for a nice final challenge song, just in case. I'll try to help with what I can.

>>8154835
In a worst case scenario they can just slap in already existing songs.

>>8154879
What's this? This is real nice. The txt file has some Japanese in it, so does this come from that Japanese SMW hacking website, or a hack? Anyway, if you want to help, there's one song that we aren't sure is being ported: Southern Cross. Here are the midis OP selected.
https://anonfilescom/lck6Uf8dud/Southern_Cross_midi_zip / https://mega.nz/file/vlxmAC6A#bx33L1CUMQ0Yg4H7ZTF_jd7CvbWfANjTm6UUdVXYia0

>>8154947
It's an old Dominator port, though it needs to be converted to AMK format (not hard to do).

>>8154947
I am the guy trying to make a port of Southern Cross. I made some progress today, but I don't have anything good to show right now. And I got that port from a collection shared by a kind anon a while ago.

>>8154975
Wasn't Dominator English?

>>8155054

>>8155275
Yeah, okay, so I'm /v/, if that makes you feel better. Finish it so we can talk about it. No one cares about your dev shit.

>>8155741
imagine thinking you speak for everyone.
multiple threads full of multiple posters prove you wrong.

Looking good so far, shame i can only help you by playtesting,
I wish i can learn Lunarmagic and ASM.

>>8155898
anyone can learn lunar magic, it's easy. My first level I ever made was for /v/orld 2 and I began work on it after like 2 hours of figuring it out. It used custom music and background graphics (which I even edited a bit myself in yy-chr). The second level I made (also /v/orld 2) had 4 sublevels each with its own custom BG, 3 different custom songs, and used ASM (which you don't need to learn to code to use). Just watch this on one monitor and follow along or fiddle around in LM on the other. And besides, levels entirely without any asm can be awesome too.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4pupCEJYFM

>>8155898
Lunar Magic is not hard to learn at all. Plus SMWC is pretty tutorial friendly.
Its only when you start leaning into ASM making and Music porting and sprite making when it becomes coders hell.

>>8146893
>Music optimization
I'll see if I can help you dudes out with this if I don't arrive so drained from wagecucking this week, the only condition is that your stuff does not contain any of those crappy shouts heard in the sonic 3 mini boss theme
madeulookecksdee

Very minor nitpick, but I've been comparing the .spcs I have for this song and is it just me or does it sound a bit rougher? It might be just me but whatever. Compare the "original" with "baserom TT11".

https://anonfilescom/l9NfCdI4u3/spcs_zip

>>8156559
They sound the same, but both are the result of a shitty conversion made by a random dude who doesn't do music.

from what ive messed about with it, you fags have made a serious fucking masterwork here. ive never seen a SMW hack that comes even close to this level of effort put into it

>>8156912
it's hard to choose favorite levels
but my favorite musics so far are blue foerest and trip to finland (the latter sounds like Zackery Wilson).

>>8156912
I'd rather save my opinion on that when it releases. So far, I have a lot more favorites than /v/orld 2

If it (or the improved version) isn't being used, then I think it would fit great in the castle 3 boss, which just uses the vanilla boss theme anyway. And yes, that kid really shouldn't even be on this website anyway. Especially those /trash/ threads.

>>8158368

>>8158938

>>8158191
is this set in stone? I keep finding issues and nitpicks in my playthrough, which I'm documenting in the google doc (all that stuff on the bottom is me, for some reason it won't show on the sidebar). in particular, while my magikoopa boss came out awesome, there are adjustments I'd like to see, which I put up recently. I'll put the tl;dr summary here, you can see the rest on the doc.
>Tl;dr: this came out awesome, but difficulty should increase more gradually, so that after 2/5 hits, shot speed is between normal and fast, and reflected shells are normal speed, then the current fast speed kicks in at 3/5 hits. You could also do more with the sprite to differentiate the boss from the common enemies.
for the sprite, I suggested giving him red robes, or maybe a conical wizard hat (with stars/crescents).
once again, I'd like to thank the relevant anons and meme magic for making my concept happen.

>>8159690
turn him into a klansman instead

>>8160026
Based. Call him the Grand Wizard.

>>8160026
>>8160109
kek, you guys never disappoint. that would indeed be based, especially since it would piss off & filter faggots.
from my initial research, it seems that grand/imperial wizards typically wore purple robes. I could provide more info for anyone who's interested in spriting.
my concern is that a boss should not have the same sprite as a common enemy. and to reiterate, 2/5 hits should be a middle ground between normal & fast.

>>8160109
>>8160641
candy chau cultists already look like klansmen lol

>>8160641
I went and did it before I saw your reply. I figured that there shouldn't be any controversy over a cat beating up a klansman. Here's the file.
https://files.catbox.moe/name4d.zip

>>8160704
Moot says FUCK RACISM

>>8160704
that's fine, white robes are most recognizable anyway.
here's an excellent source I found on the topic: https://archive.org/details/catalogueofoffic00kukl/mode/2up
though it doesn't cover wizards.

>>8160704
> that kkk magic circle

absolutely magnificent

>>8160748
just noticed that after posting, it's a very nice touch.

>>8160734
well if moot feels that strongly about it he can go jump on his head like any normal, rational human bean

>>8160704
Very nice.

>>8160761
word

>>8160704
good work overall, but I just noticed an error. the cross wand spills over into another box on the sprite sheet, which makes it look cut off, and adds a row of pixels under the K. you might want to shift the wand down to prevent this.

>>8159690
>>8160641
The shell speed is dependant on the speed at which it was thrown (and it controls the direction of the shell...) so I don't think I can change that easily. The magic speed can be reduced, but it would be strange to have slow magic shots and fast shells.
>>8160704
It's a cool sprite but would it fit with the theme of the level? maybe klansman is secretly a virgin...

>>8160787
Thanks, I noticed that too. Fixed it by moving the hand and wand one tile down.
https://files.catbox.moe/hxiyzk.zip

>>8160801
I see. but I notice that the shell rebounds significantly faster than it was thrown. is there any way to meddle with that? my idea was for reflected shells to go the same speed at 2/5, then get fast after that.

>>8160704
>my offhand joke suggestion about making him a klansman went through
wew lad

Do not open this image.
Its too scary.

>>8161084

>>8161084
Where are these fuckers used in the original game anyway?

>>8161129
One of the later ghost houses start with a segment where you need to jump between platforms with him floating above you. It's a pain in the ass.

Not likely to be in as playable by myself or by true deadline Any thoughts?

>>8161336
neat, could go into the boss rush rest area

>>8161349
I hope most OCs and sprites in boss rush rest area gets the same love as playable characters.
But right now, is there any sprites I could take a look to see if I could improve the sprite designs outside playables?

>>8161396
I'm not completely satisfied with how the klansman turned out.
>>8160704
I want him to look a little more 3D with more shading. I already sent OP this slightly fixed version >>8160825, but you can work from that and then send it to him.

>>8161443
I almost forgot, they kind of look like sunglasses, but they're meant to be regular eyeglasses.

>>8161443
Is there a palette for that? Or the global.pal B-side is alright?

>>8161470
I'm not sure. I don't know how to change the palette of a sprite.

>>8161480
>>8161443
>>8161451
Something like this?

>>8161517
Fucking nice. I like the upgraded glasses and droopy top. Now moot can fully destroy /pol/.

if you guys actually think OP is gonna put a KKK member in the hack, you're surely not vibrating on the same frequency

>>8161545
Why not? It's funny. And this is the same hack that has loli jokes and a Boku no Pico reference.

>>8161534
Any edits needed?

>>8161545
Just say it's the Happy Happy Cultist

wtf how did it deleted when I save it...

>>8161593
Because that's basically a scratchpad area. It's not saved to file because the file isn't that big.

>>8161601
I re-did it again. How does this look?

>>8161657
https://files.catbox.moe/e89wz9.zip Uploading it in case I fucked it up again. The palette is the same as Global.bin

>>8161657
Kek, that's a good improvement. He looks very funny. Nice attention to detail by making the eye glow.

>>8161673
Thanks but I see missing details like the missing shadow behind the lifting arms. I trust anons/friends could make it better
Is there any other sprite needing revisions? Remember I also need the palette for it.

>>8161559
Because those don't stand out as much as a KKK enemy. If I'm not mistaken, OP stated very early that he wanted the hack to be well-known, and just this one enemy will do the exact opposite to that.

>>8161685
If it's too edgy, then we can just make the outfit blue.

Happy-Happy Cultist feels a little out of place for "Reused Asset Castle", so we might as well make newest OC that represents that correctly while maintaining thatlike my ideas of Neon Niga, Tre/vr/'s archrival whose master of G&W and wrist games.

>>8161705
wrong reaction image

How about Wizpig? He doesn't have a wand, so he'll have to shoot out of his hands.

>>8161724
He needs to look like virgin nerd and 4Channy styles. hard mode: no boobs please

>>8161724
That could work, but needs a cooler outfit fitting for sprite

>>8161747
how about the great and powerful t--xie

>>8161759
Maybe, but I know the previous OP was against any form of MLP making into the hack. I presume this holds true for the current one.

>>8161724
> Wizpig fight with Diddy Kong Racing music
SOUL

>>8161759
Nnnnnnnnnnnoooooo.............. I don't think OP'll allow that.. and idk if "fluffies" would be allowed also
but I wonder who'll sketch Wizpig to be fitting for the sprite redesign

>>8161705
is there any reason why the boss is being changed? i thought it was fine as is

>>8161779
Don't ask me; idk as well, I just want to fit in on potentials.
I'm just waiting for any sprites given to me for revision or polishing.

>boss is supposed to be a nerdy virgin GM character who invites you to RP in his castle
>is suddenly literally KKK
Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

>>8161779
There are worries that the klansman is too edgy, even though I think it'd be fucking hilarious to fight him while that Kirby Squeak Squad music is playing.

>>8161795
> Virgin Castle
> Boss is Virgin Wizard
> If changed to KKK the level name is meaningless

How about changing the Virgin Wizard face to Mandark?

>>8161803
This. Is the author of the level even ok with it? Its funny but it kinda wrecks the level joke, same with the guy who wanted to resprite all the bumpties to 'Tuxs'

>>8161806
based

>>8161806
That sounds potential! He's a nerd, a virgin, and bad guy. But idk if Anons agree though.

>>8161810
He has the voice, and I think he even has a cloak in some episodes. Sounds perfect. I'll try and draw a basic version of him.

>>8161807
>Is the author of the level even ok with it?
I'm not. I appreciate the enthusiasm guys but there's wisdom in not overdoing things. He's just supposed to a regular ol' virgin/nerd. A Klansmen or any other character just doesn't fit. It'd be like playing Moot Gayden and instead of fighting the Strayan shitposter at the end you fight Shrek. If you really want, give him a cool ass wizard hat or snazzy outfit, or just leave him be.

>>8161823
I agree

>>8161823

>>8161907

>>8161915
if it helps, I like Nobeta's hat but maybe pointier.

>>8161915
>>8161929
Is this better?

>>8158938
you're awesome fren! see ya on release, though i might try some edits or something before then!

it's kind of a shame for the klansman sprite to go to waste though. is there somewhere else he'd fit?

>>8162168
Honestly, I'm not sure, though I was laughing my ass off at the thought of someone playing the hack blind and reacting to fighting him. Even if he doesn't get in, the klansman graphics will stay here for whoever is curious enough to see the end of this hack's development.

>>8162159
Thank you best fren, Ill try see the est time to rent that house soon.
>>8162178
Im actually more interested knowing what Mandark Wizard looks like in sprite.

>>8161962
me likey

>>8162192
I stopped doing the Mandark graphics when I read the author's post and just did the virgin with the new hat and cloak. I also thought Mandark's skin looked a little weird with the default palette.

>>8162168
Just have him sit in the boss rush crowd if something like that is already implemented. Maybe have it be behind the other characters so the snowflakes don't go out and call it racist/white supremacist if they see a klansman in the background.

>>8162168
Put him in the start of It's a Feature so you can run him over.

>>8162425
Ok that would be really funny.
Now I just want 'Its a Feature' to just have a bunch of random things getting stomped.

>>8160801
to elaborate on what I said here >>8160841
I playtested again, and the rebounding shell seems to be about 2x faster. that has to be custom behavior (I don't remember anything like that in vanilla), so are you sure you can't modify it? also, the fast shot seems to be about 3x as fast. so if I'm right about this, you could set shell reflect to 1x and shots to 2x speed for 2/5 hits (or whatever the middle ground is).

>>8161823
that's the thing, if we committed to the Klansman bit, we'd have to rewrite all the text for the castle to make it work thematically. the current virgin nerd gimmick is pretty well done, and I'm not sure if it's worth replacing it.

>>8161962
looking good!

>>8162168
haven't played the boss rush yet, but maybe put him in there as a wizard re-fight with different sprite/text.

>>8161084

>>8142723
is it finished?

>>8162340
>Maybe have it be behind the other characters so the snowflakes don't go out and call it racist/white supremacist if they see a klansman in the background.
i mean im an outsider to all this, but i can guaranfuckingtee that, regardless of what you guys do with this particular sprite, that there will be legions of tards who dont even play it writing twatter manifestos against it simply because the hack was made by anons on 4chan

i wouldnt worry about them too much, and i definitely wouldnt let them or their retarded opinions and lack of a sense of humor affect what you guys do or dont do

personally i think >>8161657 is rly cute uwu :3333 but it sounds like its too irrelevant for the levels theme, so ill just save it and touch myself to it later

>>8163168
>there will be legions of tards who dont even play it writing twatter manifestos against it simply because the hack was made by anons on 4chan
That's only if the hack becomes super popular to the point of YT clips of it getting hundreds of thousands of views, like FNF VS /v/, but I don't think it'll get to that level where Twitter retards know about it and fag it up and rage about the loli jokes. We have at least one kid who is obsessed with it, so that's a start.

>>8163168
to illustrate this point, i give you picrel
these are the kinds of mouthbreathers im talking about. the ones who unironically think theyre part of some sort of fucking culture war, and arent just cripplingly autistic
this group of a dozen or so fags wont play your game, no matter how over-the-top-edgy it is, or how lukewarm and milquetoast it is
they dont matter, and neither do their no-fun-allowed opinions

you guys have, with a lot of effort, made something really cool here. maybe if it was a for-profit endeavor, there would be some value in trying to "tone it down" to try and make more money
but its dont
so dont base it off whatever the perceived backlash from the hashtag slacktivists will be. regardless, theyll kick and scream for a day or so until they find some newer "problem they dont have" to whine about

tl;dr
do whatever YOU guys want

I could edit the drawing to include Owata in if the artist is okay with it. It's challenging though but do-able

yeah getting frame rate drops(not terrible but enough to throw me off a bit at times), but i just loaded it right into snes9x i don't know if there's extra shit i need to be doing

fuck i suck at mario apparently, i can't even beat the first level

>>8165215
I recommend beating the original Super Mario World before you even attempt this hack. It's designed for people who are at least decent at Mario. See if you can clear all the original SMW's exits.

>>8165231
i've beaten SMW a couple times, but over a decade ago

>>8165215
>can't even beat the first level
how. Are you not holding the run button? Because you should be.

anyways i challenge you to git gud enough to beat this hack

>>8165237
You might want to de-rust those skills then, hopefully so you can at least beat the second level. You don't want to be like that guy who ragequitted /v/orld 2 after failing the second level.

>>8165215
It takes a while to get used to SMW physics. I tend to excuse savestates for hard hacks like these.

btw, to the relevant anons, I hope you don't overlook >>8162525
you really should be able to modify the reflected shell, since its 2x speed is already custom and not in vanilla
and the klansman sprite would be perfect as a wizard re-fight in the boss rush (assuming it is what it sounds like).

>>8167641
>t. Miyamoto

>>8167642
Does the Klansman even really need to be in? Every Anon besides like one guy was against it

>>8167642
I'll be honest, I think the boss is fine as it is. As I said before, it's probably possible to change the speed but it would need some work. Also, the shell doesn't really work how you said, if you hit the magikoopa with a fast shell (very hard but possible), it will slow down to normal speed.

>>8167721
there was support for it, it's just that the author objected because it thematically clashes with castle 3. I agree with that, that's why I'd put him in the boss rush instead.
I'm not saying go overboard on edge, but a bit of non-kosher content is highly recommended. we should let posterity know that this creative work is neg, not poz. and besides, it's a good sprite imo.

>>8167737
sounds like the mechanics are a little different than I thought. I don't remember seeing any shell move that fast in vanilla, which is why I assumed there was trickery involved.
don't get me wrong, the boss battle I envisioned came out awesome. I just want to polish and refine if possible.
