It looks amazing. If only I knew how to make textures and sprites and stuff...

Looks pretty coool, plus lots of the members of that forum seem to agree..

)

You guys are so much more level with me though, and I realize I don't miss that "zOMG FUcKING AAAWESOME headsplode" comments. Although they are very confirming, the "if you added some windows it would allow some natural light to come in and light things more interestingly." comments are useful.
(I rarely update my maps, but I remember such tips and emplore them in other things or the next map )

Holy mother of god. I wish I were as good as you.

Maybe some of your talent will shine off on me.

Very interesting, how do you find working with pixels? On a "put each one of them there myself" level?. Im working on a few addons for a transport simulator called simutrans(.com) and it has a .pak 96 in a comic style. I find it really interesting to design shapes on such a level, zooming in, placing them and then zooming out to see how it actually comes together(or not).

Are you using a dedicated editor, or some other tool?

I find the pixel-by-pixel stuff easy. My biggest problem is not having enough colors to really finesse things. 16 colors max sucks.

Photoshop mostly. To get it in Mario World, there is an editor call YY-CHR which deals with the proper format and pallettes. To paste it to there, I save it as an 8bit image from Photoshop then open it in MSPaint and copy-paste from there. Photoshop pastes glitched crap because of extra data attached. That's mostly it.

Looks nice so far, look into making new enemy sprites, because it's the only thing still mario-esque.

plan to. although the enemies will function like the mario stuff, so whatever I swap in has to make sense to some extent.

Yeah, I know. It's like swapping models in HL, no coding involved, it just looks different.
Keep us updated!

The "mario" sprite looks kinda blobby and unrecognisable.
Other than that, too soon to tell. It's easy to replace content in a game; it's hard to make the gameplay different enough to be noteworthy.

That's why we have these, these, these, and these.

If only HL modding was as awesome as that.

Yeah, we need more sites that host visual components and ent code for use... And with a good internal search engine.

I'm thinking more along the lines of the micro patches. Those really add up to change the game/gameplay quite a big. As well as simple tools to add them.
