1 1/2 years of work and this thing is still ages away from completion.








So yeah, I'm at like 25% still.  Needing graphic set for most of my areas.  If anyone's interested in helping me get graphics so I can continue past building 80% of Forensrem (the jungle), let me know.  Here's a list of tilesets I'm hoping for:

-Thermal mining zone for Norfair's replacement.
-Lake w/ beach, ruins, underwater elements
-Snowy mountaintop (this area is being done by someone already)
-Deep ocean set (reefs, sand, stuff like that)
-Damaged underwater submarine (think purple maridia but more submarine like)
-Some sort of underwater-but-not-deep-ocean area
-Additions to my jungle set (foliage and detail mostly)
-Maybe a revamp of my Sanctuary Fortress tileset (it's sort of lacking in detail)
-Something for Lower Norfair's replacement, probably including lots of lava and hot caverns.

    It's still looking good FP, don't give up. I'm sure there are a few around here that will help (Sylux, Grime).

    Since when did people use scientific fact to justify hacking laziness?

    That jungle tileset is really beautiful, especially the background! Who made it?

    Anyway, I have a bit of free time now, so I can try to help. Are you still using the reef tileset I sent you? If not, I'll try and make a better one.

    derp



    It's a bit hard to see, but I drew up some tiles so that the pipes actually transition into the dirt without leaving pixel-wide gaps of air.

    It looks nice, but the way you designed it does not match the level design! :p
    You would have to flip the pipe in the roof for it to look perfect there! :3

    Btw, nice morphball tunnel design!

    Actually, it's 1x14 in size that looks off, IIRC.

    This is looking better all the time FP Grin.
    The forest background is pure win, and it makes the other backgrounds look shit, so you have to redraw them too. Especially the Crateria background.

    Though, I bet this will be out before mine will. I have WAY too much stuff to do still.

    No! It is much more better. It is a drawing of a key...

    Picky or not, it's still a good suggestion, and I totally agree with it. The pipe doesn't look as good coming out of the ceiling as it does going into the ground... No way.

    Those aren't new. They were "new" to our smiley section back on the phpBB board (March, anyone?)

    Is someone offering?  There's no way I could draw a background like that (the jungle's actually from...Inspector Gadget I think).  Furthermore, I'm like, out of room in the crateria set, though I guess if someone's making new BGs they're overwrite those tiles.  But man, I love Crateria too much... I'd want to keep the outside graphics but the inside ones could go.  GFX space would be an issue however.

    Oh wow, only 25%? I thought for sure you'd had more done by now. Well, I guess that shows how outta the loop I am. <_> But regardless I still like what you have done, and what I saw when I tested it ages ago. I'm sorry I suck so much as sprites and stuff or I'd have been eager to help. Now if LadyIcy were around and you were working with 8-bit sprites, pfft, she coulda designed the whole damn thing. Unfortunately, that isn't the case. But I surely hope that Volta gets finished eventually, because I'm still looking forwards to playing it.

    I've actually got Obsy from M2K2 working with me on graphics so production may soon pick up once more.  As long as college and PangYa don't get in the way too much.

    Anyhow, did it work out for you with a graphic designer FP? It would be nice if progress kicked off with this hack again!

    Oh, didn't you here? FP has some connection with some person working on a nsmbwii tool or something...  He's gonna do that for awhile, Voltas on hold.

    Or so I've heard...
